Yeah, nothing more important than maintaining the empire right? A bit of genocide is just a necessary part of being a "centrist"
The empire is falling, the question is whether it should be a controlled demolition
And who is offering a controlled demolition? Certainly not the genocidal "centrists"
The “western world” is imperialist, and the rest of the world would be better off without the “stability” allowing it to plunder them.
This is bigger than the imperial core, which represents a minority of the world in terms of population, landmass, natural resources, and production.
The faster the US crumbles, the better off the rest of the world will be.
I'm not the one saying that we have to keep supporting genocide to maintain the nation destroying empire.
Genocide is the only thing about being a centrist.
Everything else springs from that.
Average western "leftist"
you don't like schools?
I don't like genocidal imperialism
would you like a medal?
I'd like to not have imperialists in my "progressive" coms
and you define imperialists as anyone born on the wrong side of an imaginary line. if you think there's a magical politician that hasn't supported imperialism somewhere, i could take five minutes to show receipts if i didn't think you were just arguing for arguments' sake
??????
What the fuck are you talking about. You literally said that maintaining the empire is important to you, important enough to excuse genocide
