pretty fucked, can't wait to see if Sleepy Joe can pull off a prisoner swap while tens of thousands of Black Americans rot in prison for weed possession

    Oh okay. If you're "anti-imperialist" then you can never be imperialist. Just like all those people who say they're anti-imperialist and want Ukraine to destroy Russia with the help of EU and the US.

    Glad you're so sure of yourself because that can never have an effect on susceptibility.

      You're being a contrarian and disguising it as being anti-imperialist. I could use your exact logic to browbeat people for criticizing Iran for their homophobic laws. Quit being a douche.

        Yeah, that's exactly what you should do. People in the Imperial core do not get to criticise the Imperialised nations of the world.

        It's not about morals, it's about knowing when to shut up and not participate in the shit Imperial powers promote.

        When the US lost its grip on Afghanistan the news was littered with posts about how sad it's going to be for women in education. Do you think that was a mistake?

          America is going to use marijuana legalization as a casus belli, despite it not even being legal in the states, and them being partly responsible for the widespread adoption of anti-drug policies?

      Yeah, my take that "conservative drug laws are bad and ultimately self defeating or just dishonest social control measures" is what's going to push me overboard.
