It's hard to tell sometimes. I think some of them, (not all of them, just some of them) sincerely want what's best for the whole world but are incredibly gullible about 1st world liberal propaganda. So when NATO says "Gaddafi was a dictator doing a genocide so we had to bomb him to save the Libyan people from him!" They believe that. When the IMF says "Our loans and structural adjustment programs help underdeveloped countries get on their own two feet!" They believe that. When America says "We're intervening to defend freedom and democracy!" they believe that. When someone says "The CIA used to overthrow governments but they don't do that anymore!" They believe that. They fail to imagine that they're being lied to about these things. And they draw a false equivalency between Nazis and Communists. The vague notion of "totalitarianism" allows them to imagine that the people who tell them what America is really up to are just a bunch of "tankie conspiracy theorists" who "falsely believe everything bad that happens is caused by the imperial core" It seems like a far-fetched narrative to them. Things are so bad that "those tankies have to be exaggerating! Surely the imperial core can't be that bad!"
i might be mentally ill, but I'd die to ensure that someone's material conditions were improved permanently, even slightly, no matter where in the world they are.
if you wouldn't, then great job: you're less depressed then me but you're also a lib

I may be a dumbass in all other respects, but I am always anti-NATO & pro-3rd world independence projects.
