I hate this dichotomy of pro-us or pro-china.
It is possible (and highly encouraged) to use basic critical thinking and be critical of both when relevant.
You would probably classify me as pro-us, because I think tianman square was a horrible massacre and russian forces are commiting war crimes in ukraine. Doesnt mean I’m not critical of american imperialism. You can be critical to both. And in your whataboutism, I think a lot of ML, Hexbear accounts fail to be critical when appropriate of both.
Eh, fair enough.
😮
tips hat
The real question is if a person is truly critical of American imperialism or will still vote for politicians doing said imperialism.
Give a lot of us a valid alternate choice and we'll fuckin vote for that, how the fuck does giving the child rapist conman power over the worlds most powerful country empower the proletariat? How does letting Ukraine be invaded empower the proletariat? How does letting China absorb Taiwan empower the proletariat? The US is the least bad choice that we have at the moment (until you fucks let Trump get in and then all sides are pretty equally garbage)
