The worst thing to me is how many progressives say this but support America anyways "as the lesser evil" or whatever in situations like Libya. What's even weirder is that this often comes from libertarian-leaning types like Robert Evans (I know he isn't a socialist, but he certainly leans left). I genuinely can't understand why
When China is clearly the lesser evil vs the US. I don’t think China’s perfect, but pretty much every critique of them is done worse in the US.
Russia I’m not as sure if there’s a meaningful distinction. Pretty oligarchical and imperialist as well but maybe they’re better just because they can’t do as much imperialism.

That's the purpose of the relentless "{China, Russia, ...} bad" propaganda.
