After supporting imperialist actions against Venezuela, DPRK, Syria, and now the PRC while in lockstep with the propaganda of the 5 eyes of western Imperialism, it become clear that all leftists must denounce the virulent neoliberalism that is transfused with the breadtube subreddit and the breadtube subculture.

Reconciliation with them can only occur when they realize the flaws within their eurocentric worldview and stand in full opposition to western warmongering as we stand here on the eve of the second cold war.

    I remember every single person who supported the invasion of Iraq and that is the metric which I use to judge whether or not I can trust them. It is a remarkably durable and accurate litmus test and it looks like I'm going to have to add this China bullshit to it.

      I don't follow breadtube, but I'm pretty familiar with these radlibs who thinks they are far left, just recall the whole Libya situation, all these radlibs were calling for the ouster of Gadaffi because of "DEMOOOCRRRACCYYY" and "Human Rights", they were spewing the same state department bullshit, the craziest of all was that Gadaffi was giving his troops Viagra so they can do mass raping. The biggest offender of these State Department radlibs was the popular "progressive" news program DemocracyNow! , who had cruise missile "leftist", Juan Cole, rabidly calling for Gadaffi's ouster even if it meant NATO bombs. DN! was doing the same State Department propaganda for Syria. When Trump bombed Syria, the next day DN! had a Syrian American activist on, she was angry at Trump, not because he dropped bombs on another Middle Eastern Country, but that these bombings were useless because they destroyed an empty air strip. She was calling on Trump to lay waste to key Syrian infrastructure.

      I don't uncritically support these countries that are targets of Western Imperialism, but look at Libya, the outcome of Western interventionism is almost always far far worse!
