Yes this is about Contra, but the fact she literally only considered US citizens in her analysis is telling. Like not a single argument about foreign policy, or concern about people 30 centimetres over the border occurred to her.

And all the Dem Socialist reply guys are arguing against her on her terms. Like fucking hell, are you Internationalists or not? Fuck how large the US left is, you're fighting for the Whole Left! I understand revolt in the Imperial core is both important and difficult, but jfc!

I'm afraid I'm going third-worldist here (for values of third world that include, like, Germany and Spain.)

    The answer is very obviously "ending American imperialism" from the aspect of pure human misery. Our imperial adventures have caused orders of magnitude more suffering and devastation than even living in a pre-Stonewall America was for queer people.

    It's a dumb hypothetical, though, because Trump is not going to end American imperialism, and his bumbling version of foreign policy is still needless cruelty that doesn't solve much. It's just funny to watch the "intelligence community" work their entire lives only to have their plans interrupted by a guy who wants a milkshake.
