China and the DPRK learned the hard way: if you're a weak country, you'll get bullied by strong countries and there's nothing you can do about it until you stop being weak.

Obama destroyed the Bush-era left more thoroughly than any undisguised right-winger ever could.

Trump is certainly the accelerationist president.

It appears he's rapidly accelerating the US toward event horizon.

Was Trump the harm reduction candidate? One can make the argument that you can't fight US imperialism when you're in denial about it, and more people are in denial about it when the Democrats are in power.

Trump is not the disease but merely its latest iteration & compilation. None of his actions are a hard break away from longstanding US precedent(s) in anything except in terms of style and scale. A refusal to understand this will very badly hobble any attempt to address or rectify it.

It is amusing that political literacy in the USA is so low that supporters of MAGA/MAHA/the Republican Party don't understand that they, too, are liberals. And what is far worse is that there are so many liberals who believe they are socialists and Marxists and anti-imperialists.

The USA doesn't have an opposition party.

Evil is not contained to just Trump. Don't make him into the antiChrist or some exceptional evil genius like what has been done with Hitler, thereby washing US hands clean/providing the weak excuse "because Trump".

Trump is not a “dictator.” He is not uniquely evil or special. Trump is just an overt and grotesque version of what every USA president has always been.

Do not be tricked into believing that ridding ourselves of Trump will fundamentally change this country.

It’s not that USians didn’t learn anything from the Iraq War, the average USian is a neocon. Most USians, from the bottom rung of society to the middle class to the business/political elites, are neocons just with different façades.

Joe Biden helped carry out a GENOCIDE. Obama bombed and starved Yemen, and toppled governments in Honduras & Libya. Clinton bombed Afghanistan, Somalia, and Sudan. Democrats are just as evil and hawkish as Republicans.

America is run by two fascist/imperialist parties, the only difference is one of them wishes the other was more polite.

Your "internationalism" is globalism painted in red. And fuck that.

Today western leftists/adventurists say China isn't imperialist enough but when China does anything, it's automatically imperialist. Trading with countries in Africa is imperialism. But being the benevolent world police somehow wouldn't be?

China is not the USA and has said publicly numerous times that they do not aspire to be another USA. But people get really hyped by USA propaganda that paints China as an imperialist global threat and then they demonize China;
