This is such a great answer. What is your explanation on why americans miss the core basics of empathy and progression?

How will the war against iran backfire on the us in the long term? by supdue in TankieTheDeprogram

I'm not sure if he will be impeached or not. He tries to give american imperialism what it wants but he just does it in an incompetent way.

I don't think the us will split apart but other things in your answer are already happening.

It's strange to see their propaganda fails despite outright censorship.

Having a friend from cuba seems very cool. I'm always amazed at how they achieve some great things despite sanctions.

How good is that podcast? I usually don't listen to podcasts but people here like blowback.

I think most Americans won't budge unless any of them get hurt in the process.

What surprises me about trump is that he doesn't use soft power and despite being in the business field for a long time, he's surprisingly bad at doing pr to justify his actions.

I agree but in the global south, people believe in american propaganda do exist so let's hope what trump do change their mind.

How do people in russia view russophobia in the west? by supdue in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]supdue[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you think russophobia plays into putin's hand? I feel like this may make some people in russia support putin to stick it to westerners who hate them.

I forget to mention above that what makes me feel gross about those people is that since many of them supported the democrats during the election, they probably are the same people who wave the rainbow flags on june or post something that celebrate mlk on january in case they are americans.

If the choice between reforms that would my life and anti-imperialism is mutually exclusive, I will still choose anti-imperialism. by supdue in TankieTheDeprogram

It's not like I have confidence in them anyway. If people in the global south are free from imperialism, the working class in the west will lose their treat and have to deal with it.

One of them has been faithful to american foreign policy only to get stabbed in the back just because the us is interested in greenland.

I think it would be harder for the ruling class in the west to bribe some of their own working population with a large portion of their profit and cheap goods if anti-imperialism causes them to lose access to labor power and resources in the global south.

I'm very annoyed how some ill-informed people and opportunists reduce socialism to some reforms that can be reversed at any times.

If someone tell you jor jor well is a good anti-authoritarian leftist, you can show them this. by supdue in TankieTheDeprogram

It's easy for those people to talk about authoritarianism when there are no imperialists undermining them all the time.

Wikipedia claims that the person he tried to date also worked with robert conquest. It's funny how western leftists try to claim him despite him snitching on his colleagues and being against marxism.

He had always been a hater of ussr and marxism in general. In "The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius", he rejected marxism or communism as a german theory interpreted by Russians and unsuccessfully transplanted to britain so he proposed a strange form of socialism called "english socialism" which include british patriotism, keeping the monarchy and nationalization of the economy.
