      BadEmpanada is an asshole but being an asshole isn't the same as being wrong. If your response to the reality that the US enforces a genocidal, resource-looting empire by gunpoint is "Well is ALL intervention equally bad all of the time?? Answer that!!!" you're being a shit

        "China would be worse if they were in our position" as a response to this, is, frankly, disgusting. Lesser evilism with political candidates is one thing, but lesser evilism with the whole of the American empire is another, somehow worse thing entirely.

          In theory, of course, there are justified interventions that we could think of. But in practice (ie what matters) it is the upmost priority of the US left to oppose our military, because it's the one thing we have access to that no other leftist movement in the world does

            Honestly these debate types. This isn't a hypothetical, intellectual exercise where the best positions battle it out in the market place of ideas. This is material reality where the US military *materially* kills children for money and power. Get a grip
