In this case, yes. These criticisms are literally Nazi propaganda.

Again, not any worse than any other country of the time.

Meh, China’s influence in Africa has been orders of magnitude more benevolent than the US’s historical actions. I don’t think there should be any global superpowers, but if there has to be one, I’d rather have a socialist-aligned country than a capitalist one on top.

Yeah I didn’t think that. Biden was a bandaid that let the wound fester.

Healthy people want to live in peace, but also recognize when is the time to fight for that peace.

Yes, the fight against capitalism and the fascists that back it is an existential issue for all peoples. So it is incredibly important to point out how the Democrats are controlled opposition and waiting for them to save us will just allow us to sink deeper into the shit.

A reminder that even if it is false in this case, many Dems did vote for many of Trump’s appointees. Kristi Noem comes to mind immediately.

Yep. No one except leftists tried to hold Dems accountable, so the politicians got lazy and complicit.

No, I don’t give critical support to Israel because they are a settler colonial project who, along with the US and other Western powers, started all of the troubles in the Middle East in the first place.

No critical support for imperialists.

It’s wild that a mod can just decide what is misinformation based on whether they personally know who the author is or not.

Just post your rebuttal as a comment. Objectively, you are hardly a more reliable source than the person who wrote this.

You may “know what you’re talking about,” but how do I know that you know? Why should I believe that your opinion is more correct?

If I learned anything from the 2024 election it’s that we must unequivocally support the lesser evil. Since Israel attacked first (and is actively committing genocide), that means Iran is the lesser evil and therefore they are perfect and not supporting them means you support genocide. /s

4. Why is it ok for them to assassinate civilians?

Well according to the Democrats, I should always support the lesser of two evils, so now Iran is good. /s

For real though, it’s called critical support. You can support Iran’s right to defend against genocide while simultaneously criticizing their human rights abuses.

All I see are terrorists.

The Bush administration getting away with all their criminal shit paved the way for Trump.

All I want is a party by and for the people.

Sounds like you’d be interested in Marxism then.

Honestly modern China in my lifetime has been a more benevolent world player than the US by orders of magnitude. Not perfect, obviously, but at least they haven’t been starting wars or electing fascists. I’m excited for this shift.

Israel is a prominent member of the global western capitalistic hegemony, and they are escalating tensions with their genocide and attack on Iran. I wouldn't say they're the only ones responsible, but they do share a large portion of the blame.

Not sure you should include Gorbachev since he illegally dissolved the USSR against the will of the people.

Your comment isn’t written very well so I can’t be sure of who you’re calling xenophobic. But if you’re trying to do that thing where you conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, you can fuck right off. We’ve had that argument and your side lost.
