  • The kidnapping of Maduro inflamed this rhetoric, and now they claim China, Russia, and the USA set a deal for splitting Venezuela, like how the Allied Powers split the Ottoman Empire.

    US: illegally kidnaps the president of a sovereign nation

    Reactionaries: okay here is why this is China’s fault

    Yeah, not much to work with here. I wouldn’t spend your time trying to play defense, because a reactionary rhetorical tactic is to always keep you on the defense.

    Stick to verifiable facts. You can condemn verifiable imperialist actions. Condemn China when it take verifiable imperialist actions. Condemn the US when it takes verifiable imperialist actions. At the end of the day, China has done nothing, except in their imagination. US is like an infinite fountain of imperialist bullshit.


  • Westerners are willingly complicit in crimes because they instinctively and correctly understand that they benefit as a class (as a global bourgeois proletariat) from the exploitation enabled by their military and their propaganda — organs of coercion and consent.

    TRUEEEEEE

    At least for all of history up until now.

    I don’t yet personally know any liberals who support the illegal invasion of Venezuela, even some of the most turbo-lib places on reddit are anti-invasion, probably because they are realizing that they will continue to pay the costs while receiving none of the benefits.

    US global petty bourgeois is slowly collapsing into the rest of the global proletariat. So, they are taking the right position, even if for the wrong reasons.

    But I do know some neo-cons and reactionaries who changed their minds overnight: they’re thrilled. I figure because they think they’re gonma get cheap oil at no personal cost, and because libs and leftists are mad and that’s the only thing that gets them off now.
