    I didn’t say things were simple. I said the US is the largest Imperialist power in the world, which is true, and suggested reevaluating your world view.

    The US is not holding onto hegemonic power for “stability,” nations can govern themselves just fine. The US is holding onto hegemonic power for profit.

    No, it’s absolutely not simple, but it is glaringly obvious that pretending the US is important on the global stage for “stability” is purely a western viewpoint that ignores the US’ contributions as a supporter of terrorism around the world whenever its profits are threatened.

        What have I said makes me a tankie? Saying that the US is bad for the world, actually? That’s all forms of Leftism, whether they be Anarchist, Marxist, or so forth.

        If you’re just going to resort to Ad Hominem instead of defending your claims or addressing my counters to them, why even reply?

          Any time someone wants to immediately move the conversation toward “us interests are evil” it’s pretty obvious there’s an agenda.

            What agenda do I have when you made the incredibly evil claim that the US is important for “global stability?” If you just walk through life making knee-jerk reactions every time someone points out something you said is wrong, rather than engaging with the points brought up, what do you hope to accomplish?

              Lol no I don’t waste time making arguments to most trolls, you’ve continued to demonstrate a complete lack of openness so yeah I won’t get sucked into your manifesto

              “It’s incredibly evil to suggest the Middle East is not something we want to fuck around with, for the world’s sake” lmao

              I’m sure this means to you that I supported all the US involvements there but you can save it. Literally nothing a tankie says matters

                1. How have I been a “troll?”

                2. How have I demonstrated a “lack of openness?”

                3. How have I suggested that US Imperialism is a good thing?

                4. How have I been a “tankie?”
