    I’m not that familiar with Caleb, but why would you support anyone who is proud of the flag of your occupiers? American patriotism is synonymous with the military and its genocidal campaigns across the world.

      I really dont care about flags, flags are just a piece of cloth. I care about the values someone has and their actions. If you support antiimperialism and worker solidarity, you are my Comrade. I dont care what flag you use, thats up to you. If you like USA flag its ok, if you dont like it its ok.

        Like 99.9999% of patriotic Americans do not support anti-imperialism or worker solidarity, that’s why there is such a pushback against it.

          99% of americans dont support antiimperialism either, whats your point? Also i would dispute the notion that conservatives are more hostile to antiimperialism. In the George W Bush neocon years sure, but since Trump the situation has turned id say. More and more conservatives and libertarians are against wars, while democrat supporters love the Azov Battallion and want war with Russia. Tucker Carlson, of all people, has been the only mainstream media voice to expose lies on Ukraine. I think this reflects a divide in the US ruling class, between top billionaires like Jeff Bezos who support democrats and want interventionism because it benefits their international corporations, and smaller millionaires and billionaires like Rupert Murdoch who support Trump republicans and want isolationism and reindustrialization of the USA since they benefit more from that. I think this explains the Trump movement and related stuff. Ofc this isnt 100% mathematical, for example Elon Musk is a top billionaire but supports republicans, but i still think this model explains the situation quite well.

            Trump and Republicans are not as anti-war as you think

            Trump wanted to bomb and invade Iran as well as start a full economic war with China

            They just don’t want proxy wars, vassal states, neo-colony type situations since they don’t want to invest in other countries to further imperialism and just want to keep all their money in America instead

            Libertarians’ foreign policies are much better but not sure what they have to do with anything since they have 0 presence in the USA
