I find it so hard to understand the liberal viewpoint of things.
One minute the USA is fascist for overturning roe v wade and possible other amendments, the next minute the USA is the global defender of democracy. One minute the USA is facing the most social instability with gun violence, inflation, wage stagnation, over policing, the next minute we are the shining city on the hill that must set an example.
You’d think after Korea, Vietnam, and the war on terror we’d learn are lesson about exporting democracy and just mind our own business. But america is not in the business of learning lessons.
We care so much about Taiwanese independence but what of the indigenous people HERE? What of Hawaii? What of Puerto Rico?
Stay strong y’all. See through the contradictions and keep applying Marxism Leninism to the times! There is still hope yet!
It’s the western chauvinism at the heart of liberal progressivism.
Their thought process is “the U.S. is bad, but it’s not as bad as Russia or China or the DPRK”, and some of them outright say this, which is why these people can simultaneously believe the U.S. is a reactionary shithole, but also that the U.S. needs to terrorize the Global South to promote feminism, LGBT rights, and democracy.
