    We have some positions in common with Trump, mostly by coincidence. Opposing the EU, “free” trade agreements, all Democrats, paying for military bases worldwide, and funding and encouraging proxy wars against Russia. Supporting relations with DPRK and ending the war on Afghanistan.

    Some libs think because we oppose Biden means we support Trump. We just don’t think Biden is the solution to Trump, as they’re both symptoms of the same problem, capitalism and oligarchy. We don’t support Putin because we oppose the US’s proxy wars with Russia, they’re symptoms of the same problem.

    The left-right dichotomy in popular US media is a center-right v far-right split for us, two hemorrhoids on the butthole of capitalism. We generally don’t support the popular narrative. The dichotomy we see is between working class and owning class. Imagine our detractors as oil executives, feds, cops and landlords, and anti-socialist propaganda gains valuable context. We generally support communist revolution as the solution, not voting for outspoken anti-communists.

    • My view is that trump was bad for Americans, but better for the rest of the world (with exceptions of course), while Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden are bigger threats to humanity as a whole. It’s complicated and hard to measure at this point in time though, Obama oversaw bailing out banks and throwing homeowners to the wolves, and Biden oversaw a million deaths from covid so shrug-outta-hecks

        Yeah, I would feel fairly comfortable betting that a Clinton administration in 2016 would have been much worse for the world at large but sufficiently dressed up in respectability rhetoric that she would have been Obamaized and there would be threads on reddit like “What was the worst thing that Clinton did? Well, she wore that awful dress in 2018…” completing ignoring that she and Obama are monstrous war criminals of the highest caliber

      When Trump tells the Truth, it is because he is lying twice
