From the replies:
We need to stop caring if other countries are “Left” or “Right.” Our concerns only need be 1) respect for human rights, 2) respect for law and order, 3) respect for international norms.
Jesus christ libs in the US are completely politically illiterate.
I would love for this idiot to concretely define what those terms are supposed to mean. "Respect for international norms" is maybe the most :LIB: shit I've ever read.
"international norms" is a combination of capitalism and allowing your people to be fucked by the IMF.
"Can we please use our natural resources to feed and educate our people instead of enriching foreign corporations?"
"Well, that wouldn't be the international norm, now, would it?"
Well, then first, we must place sanctions on the USA and send their leaders to the Hague.
You know the US is legally allowed to invade the Netherlands should any of its officials end up there?
Yeah, I know. Seriously every day I wonder more and more why the rest of the world doesn't sanction the US.
Also watching US forces up against the far more competent troops of the EU woul be my favourite thing ever.
"Oh no, no, they didn't do that at all, no, they built multilateral discussions in order for all the countries to progress thanks to neoliberalism.
But then the mean Trump came and wanted to do a fascism, but he's a dumb-dumb so it backfired, and now the dangerous fringe pro-terrorism far left is on the rise, and China will invade us and eat our dogs and these brown people from south america will rule themselves and apply SocDem measures that will destroy their economy because we will have to sanction and/or carpet bombing them to teach them how to be peaceful with us"
It gets one thing right tho: Trump isn't against imperialism, just bad at it.
this is what kills the harm reduction argument to me. i hope incompetent imperialism continues until america can be destroyed
Here’s what I’m having a hard time working out.
It’s not like the imperial war machine is run by one guy the same way a hot dog stand is. Yes Trump is a dumb ass but did he replace EVERYONE at the Pentagon with dumb asses as well? I always figured it didn’t matter who was POTUS, Gloria LaRivera could fucking win and the war machine would march on, but nah apparently the POTUS is an important enough position that one dumb enough guy filling it can throw a wrench into things.
What we have with imperialism in the US is not a collective hivemind. It's several members of the ruling class all pushing for their own agendas with these wars, as they are connected with the fossil fuel industries and private war industry. It's not as simple as it seems.
Trump is still managing to push the war machine despite some of the decisions that make some of them pissy. We still have an insanely bloated military budget and the war industry hasn't really been cut down.
Mad Dog was the only competent military person in his admin. Like look at the clusterfuck to US power that was abandoning the Kurds.
I hope Trump has fucked up the coup machine to prevent Biden from doing shit. Biden will still drone, but if the coup machine doesn't work that will be good.
Liberals love imperialism.
Every time you end up in a conversation about foreign policy with these smug assholes they talk you up on 'western democracy' as the term they throw around for it.
"We bring western democracy to these fucked up places" in other words; we export white supremacy to these countries, cause that's literally what they're implying in coded languages. Liberals go for the old manifest destiny sayings of colonization which was "we need to bring civilization to these untamed lands and kill the savages". This is what they mean by all the 'western democracy' talk. Same old propaganda hundreds of years later.
Rubio is always cheerleading bungling retired military doofuses trying to overthrow venezuela
Yes, but please don't use it. It's not only cultural appropiation, it's also extreme cringe.
