    How very White of you.

    I wonder if there’s any evidence what will convince you. By this point if you know you have been lied about every war since WWII but still decide to believe narratives of the US empire against its designated enemies you ain’t brainwashed; just bootlickingly racist.

    I mean you could make a choice to investigate today why what you said was murderously bigoted but chances are high you won’t.

    I wonder why.

    The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox. - Malcolm X

    You have 4.5 million in children in poverty, torture and imprison those against British war crimes, have successive governments arm, fund and give political cover to an ongoing genocide. Either you don’t live in a democracy of the masses or you do and the people are culpable of its state’s war crimes. Maybe go hoist a genocidal flag up a street lamp to maintain that national self esteem while people can’t pay for heating, food or see their GP. Must be all those immigrants’ fault that prop up what remains of your NHS or the asylum seekers who flee your country’s destruction abroad (sanctions, wars, coups, IMF economic racketeering etc).

    Remember, the workers’ of the Global South don’t depend on you, you depend on them. And that tap of superexploitation is slowly turning off which is why your cost of living is going through the roof. Until you truly reckon with what it means to be a Westerner, what that class means on the global stage, whaf that parasitic relationship with the rest of the world, you will always be the fascism enabler that you nominially claim to be against.

      You take my comment as supporting US action. I don’t.

      I also don’t support Manduro.

      Evil leaders on both sides and innocents being caught in the middle. The rest of your rant is a complete non sequitur.

        Wanting the same outcome as Trump but upset about his method ain’t the potent anti-imperialist take you think it is.

        You’re talking about a country under sanctions, coup attampts and hybrid wars under the US, the most murderous regime known to mankind, and you judge it by the supposed metrics of those not under the yoke of imperialism. Don’t you realise how bigoted you sound? Educate yourself.

        If you say you’re against imperialism but condemn those who fight it you’re just racist as all those fascist bigots; they’re just more honest.

        Translation: I’m too racist to make the effort to understand why.

        evil leaders on both sides

        Yeah lets completely flatten the bolivarian revolution and the many many genocides and war crimes the US carries out or has others carry out for them. People died in both cases so they’re essentially the same.

        Maduro is one of the innocents, and you’re falling for the empire’s justifications hook, line, and sinker.
