    True leftism is “when America bad” and the more “America bad” you spout, the more to the left you are. Having nuanced and principled opinions is inferior to campism, gotcha.

          US imperialism, and more specifically, the division of the world into rich and poor countries (which US imperialism upholds with its military, dollar hegemony, and media dominance), is the primary evil in the world today.

          When you accuse people pointing this out, of being “campist un-nuanced america-hating tankies”, you’re just showing your ignorance of the reality of images like the one above.

      You can call it “nuance” all you want, it doesn’t change that such a critical stance is always rooted in state department propaganda.

      Western “leftists” trust imperialists more than foreign PoC, which surprises nobody.

        So instead, we should trust… The other ogliarchic and blatantly fascist empires?

        Call me crazy, but I don’t think unapologetic fascism is “leftist.”

          Why do you believe the US and anglophone-media when they demonize their main enemies, and say that they’re no different? You should take anything a serial liar says with an extreme grain of salt.
