    Pretty good fucking party line honestly. My mother, who has not been fond of my communist leanings, told me a couple months ago that she thinks China is now the lesser of two evils.

    I’ve thought that for a long time but I have that dirty commie bias. Nice to see that as time marches on I’m being proven right.

    finally. guess they noticed they can afford not to be “neutral” anymore, eh? or maybe they can’t afford to be.

    so tankies are saving us from fascism again, right?

      Trump is the symptom, not the disease. The disease is capitalism (built upon settler colonialism and slavery)

        There’s always some explanation that avoids an American from having to feel any kind of personal responsibility.

          Care to expand on that point? I’ve been trying to piece together exactly what you mean but I haven’t been able to figure out how me pointing out how the issues are systemic to the settler colonialism of it is me avoiding responsibility. I didn’t vote for him, I didn’t advocate for voting for him either.

        I realize now it wasn’t obvious, so let me be clear. A couple of trade deals and economic policies aren’t going to make the US any less dangerous.
