    I’m not a leftist because the left is also full of fascists that provide (un)critical support to any country deemed AES, and I know this because I used to be very much an AES-worshipping tankie myself. I still have some respect for socialists and communists that don’t prescribe to AES ideology, but it’s still just mostly infighting over which system failed better. At some point I just concluded that communist/socialist/leftist is harmful baggage to carry, that only leads to snap judgements from corpomedia brained folk.

      So you went from the left to the right, and now support Empire? I don’t see what you mean here

        If that’s what you got from this, I can’t help you. If you think you can’t be a leftist without being right wing, or right wing without being leftist, you’re too deep in the shit.

          What on Earth are you talking about? When did I say being a leftist is being right wing?

            I don’t know, but you’re saying I support “the empire”, which sounds like the typical dismissal and grouping by most ideologically entrenched folk I talk to around here. Sorry if I misunderstand, I have my autism diagnosis on hand if that is suitable for coverage.

              If you support US hegemony, you support Empire. If you aren’t expressing support of US hegemony, that’s a good thing.
