    Oh, Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard is for the dissolution of the CIA and NATO? That's quite a view for an active US Army Officer.

    The Iraq war had a better anti-war movement than the current state of the US, so maybe you should take lessons of mass movements from them and stop being a purity scold, a perfect example of the isolating idealist failures of the western left

    Yeah, how did that go. Did you stop the Iraq War?

      This tendency stopped the Vietnam War and pressured South Africa into collapsing and stopped support of Rhodesia. All these movements involved libertarians and dumb normal people who don’t have good opinions on everything.

      Just to be clear, your good and correct socialist opinion is that anti-war mass movements are pointless and we shouldn’t bother?

        No, this tendency did not stop the Vietnam War. What bunch of American-centric nonsense. "Uh actually, it was all the white Americans holding up signs that stopped the Vietnam War". Fierce and effective resistance to imperialism by the Vietnamese people and the massive financial drain that the Vietnamese War caused on the US economy stopped the Vietnam War.

        They also weren't the ones who stopped apartheid, either, South Africans stopped apartheid.

        The white saviors have come to hexbear.

          Protesting your empire rampaging across the world is white saviorism actually!

          Now I’ve seen it all.

            Please tell us more about how white bourgeois hippies stopped the Vietnam War dead in it's tracks.

              You are right, those white devils cannot do anything good! They should stop doing revolutionary defeatism, stop protesting war and be good little servants of empire

                "Oppossing the war" is when you make an active US Army officer one of your keynote speakers.

                    All I've seen you say is that white American hippies were actually responsible for ending the Vietnam War and not the Vietnamese people who were actually fighting imperialism.

                    But please, tell me more about how active Lt. Col. Tulsi wants to get rid of NATO and the CIA.
