So just 4 days ago we had huge thread about how great she is because she criticized US imperialism and immediately after that she's actively participating in the same imperialism. Also her position on Ukraine remains afaik unchanged, still supporting that fascist and ecocidal imperial puppet. How it is even possible to reconcile, is she two different people or what?

      Same.

      She's been walking down the line of getting rid of brainworms decades faster than I ever did. Most of us were libs once, I often still am if I'm not conscious about things.

      Maybe I am giving her more grace as a fellow neurospicy, but she has consistently followed through when actually learning more. Give her time.

      It's also not easy to not be lib about this stuff somewhere like Sweden, the position isn't only hegemonic, it's all there is. Even in "left" spaces.
