I appreciate your effort. Genuinely, I do, that’s why I even bother engaging with you, because despite clearly holding anti-AES views, you don’t actually shut out any and all evidence. For what it’s worth, I held similar views to you about a decade ago, and I don’t mean that in a condescending way, we all have our own political journeys and I am older than you (unless you went back to school). I see genuine hope in you becoming a Leftist eventually if you remain open to reading and hearing viewpoints alternative to your current understanding.
As for what you mean, yes, I was referring to that thread. I saw your response while I was making my own.
Further, I am going to go ahead and plug Blowback again. It’s a podcast, so you should be able to listen to it while doing whatever else you’re doing (unless you’re studying, of course). I’ll link the first episode here. If you’re a USian like I am, you owe it to the people of the world the genocidal US Empire has destroyed and slaughtered for profit to take a real look at the hellish sins of the United States.

Thanks, i try my best to always argue in good faith and remain open-minded. Only if that were the spirit many went into discussions with.

Yeah you’re older. I’m 19. Although i don’t know about me being a leftist someday haha. Maybe it’s not entirely far-fetched since it was only a couple years ago i held conservative views, but we’ll see.

I’ll be sure to check it out!
USian like I am
I’m not American - I’m British and Nigerian. The former i obtained by birth, but we have our own atrocities as well.
For what it’s worth, I would consider my former self to have been liberal, but with reactionary views shaped by those I grew up around. I don’t think we would have been far apart in terms of views, I didn’t start supporting AES until I truly did the legwork of diving deep into Marxist theory and history. If I wanted a shortcut, I would have read Blackshirts and Reds first, which is why it’s early in the reading list I made.
As for being British and Nigerian, Blowback is still great, and helps explain a more sympathetic view towards Iraq, Cuba, Korea, etc. It has 5 seasons, 1 topic each.
