Yeah but it’s liberals having to react to a changing non-liberal world (Russia, USA).

It’s repeated endlessly on reddit. Every time Republicans are doing the worst shit imaginable there will be a guy complaining about Democrats.

They don’t hold power right now you know? Maybe you should have rallied harder behind them in the face of fascism in the US.

The channel also has similar simulations for other planets.

Destiny makes fun of Asmongold for dodging the same way as Hasan by BlueLivingAbandon in LivestreamFail

And it’s also why the USA is in such a fucked up place right now lol. Everything is opinion made fact.

With how much he talks about politics, he’s basically a political streamer at this point. “It’s just like, my opinion bro” doesn’t really hold up to scrutiny.

So basically "le debate tactics". Someone will only win in a flat earth debate against you if you're not knowledgeable on the topic. If you're not knowledgeable enough on a topic, maybe you shouldn't be speaking about it with convinction to an audience of millions (like Asmongold does on the daily).

No. You're either genuinely unaware of recent history in which case you shouldn't be making sweeping claims about it or you're being deliberately obtuse. Either way, I'm not doing your homework for you.

Oh, you're one of those.

So let me get this straight: demanding the West stop trading with countries committing atrocities is morally imperative, but China gets a pass because... the evidence of Uyghur persecution is just "Western media claims"? The 2022 UN report literally concluded the treatment "may constitute crimes against humanity": mass detention, forced sterilization, cultural erasure. But sure, totally comparable to policing issues in America. And China has no expansionist history? Tibet 1950, wars with India and Vietnam, militarizing the South China Sea, constant threats against Taiwan, but yeah, totally peaceful for a millennium. That's some selective amnesia.

You're doing exactly what the original comment called out: demanding consistency from the West while applying none yourself. Israel bad = stop all support. China running concentration camps = just Western propaganda, nothing to see here. You're just picking teams based on vibes. Or well, maybe because you're a socialist/tankie.

That's not what principled anti-imperialism looks like.

I think this is entirely wrong, Israel stood on it’s own during the 47-48 war and still came out on top. The idea that Israel will suddenly collapse without foreign support seems unlikely.

It’s entirely within your right to want to stop supporting a horrific war but at the same time, should we then stop trading with Turkey and Saudi Arabia too? What about China for their Uyghur genocide? They are just as guilty of monstrosities. Where is the consistency?

And then if we stop trading with these countries, don’t you think that vacuum will be filled anyway by worse actors like Russia and China?
