All the time I hear about "the CIA will coup this", "America supported that", "These people opposed US Imperialism". A topic could have absolutely nothing to do with america and involve a place on the exact opposite part of the earth and Americans will find a way to make it about America. For example, people talk about Russian politics and Putin yet seem to support Putin wholeheartedly because his Russia "opposes american imperialism". This framing of the conversation seemingly ignoring how Russian people feel about his reign, how the EU has been having to drag america into the latest sanctions against Russia, and how for the last 4 years America had an ostensibly Pro-Russian president. I swear American Leftists don't care at all about Capitalism or Communism and just want to oppose the United States. Most of the world and people don't care about American influence, let alone to such an obsessive degree.

                  Ah yes. America has never conducted a regime change. All those coups, the color revolutions, the proxy wars? Yeah, those are all legitimate. Pay no attention to the American money, weapons, training, and personnel. Those rebel groups existed already, so does it really matter that the US gave them all the resources they used to topple their governments?

                  You're a fucking clown
