America, as we have all known her, is dead.
How did you know her? I knew her as terrorisor of the middle east and I’m pretty sure that’s still true.
For me she was a bully and destroyer of anyone at home and abroad who tried to build a decent socialist society so they could steal resources and who gaslit us into thinking “capitalism is the best system we’ve got”.
Enjoy your Chinese hegemony. I’m sure it’ll be grand.
Don’t you guys call this ‘whataboutism’? Anyways, I’m less concerned with China than the US since China hasn’t dropped a single bomb in decades while the US drops dozens a day in the middle east.
I mean, they invaded Tibet and have been genociding the Uyghers. There isn't a "good" side in the bunch.
i agree with you, but china is just as ugly
China testing missiles is really not comparable to the US bombing the Middle East dozens times a day.
im sorry but i think you are misunderstanding the pacific geopolitical play here.
i am just weary that any super power is going to fuel instability in strategic locations.
also i didnt compare it to the middle east, was just correcting the fact that china 'has not bombed in decades'
The US is the largest cause of instability in literally every region in the world. Just because you’re afraid of another country taking over the role of destabilising other countries does not mean you should defend the US doing it. It’s the same excuse Israeli’s use to genocide the Palestinians ‘because otherwise the Palestinians will genocide us back’. It’s a standpoint that’s based purely on racism, not on facts.
again, i never defended a fascist country, just tried to inform that china (another fascist country) is also dropping bombs. Im sorry you feel the need to argue a point i never mentioned.
I’m saying you have no choice. It’s us or China. Cold hard facts. You’re fucked. We all are. You’re more fucked than you were before.
Choose your god, people. There can be only one. Hail USA!
It’s just reality. You’re fucked.
No, you are. You’re American. The rest of the world is going to be fine without American bombs dropping all over it.
You simply can’t see the big picture - emotion and myopathy have overridden your analytical capabilities. Not surprising.
One day, you’ll think back in this exchange and realize how utterly fucked your thoughts were.
Quite an interesting comment from someone defending US imperialism. Please tell us why we should fear China more than the US.
Jesus. Look at history and compare all the people killed in mindless US wars vs all the people killed by China in the name of “progress”.
I am not arguing that the US has it right. No one has it right - that is human frailty. Choose your hegemony, because you will have one.
I’m done with this discussion.
China existing does not excuse any US crimes, and that’s what my comment was about after all.
What a baby back removed comment. How do you think the Middle East has been enjoying American hegemony? You think it’s cool to have American bombs dropped on your children?
Americans are such pussies. They have ALL THE SMOKE for any other nation, but refuse to acknowledge or even consider that America does MORE. You said it yourself, America is the hegemon, and look at the state of the world.
This is why Trump wins, patriotism and blind support like you have.
I'm a transwoman who's always felt like a stranger in her own hometown. I've never known an America that did anything but claim to be about freedom and strongarm people who were dumb enough to believe them.
