They love Russia, China, and North Korea's stance on LGBT rights. I mean, what are a few murdered queer folk when you have important things like Anti-Imperialist Imperialism(tm) to support?
Do you think Israel's bombs don't blow up queer Palestinians?
Did I say they didn't? But whatever non-sequiturs you need to insert to continue worshipping the torture and execution of LGBT people by your favorite 'anti-imperialist' countries. :)
I'm just supporting the lesser of two evils.
These countries aren't perfect, but I'm not going to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Isn't that what you keep telling me to do?
Lmao.
As a non-American, I'd choose to live in USA over Russia, Iran, China, or North Korea.
Tankies be fucking delusional.
Yeah, no shit. Imperialist superexplotation of the rest of the world has allowed the US to enrich itself beyond any empire in the history of the world. That comes at a cost! The US is great if you live in the US, but is it great for the children that mine the US's cobalt? Is it great for its prison population, which is the largest in the world? Is it great for the massive undocumented labor force that grows the US's food?
The US "greatness" exists as a great expense for everyone else on Earth. The US can only be great if everyone else suffers.
As opposed to tankie wonderlands where there's no discrimination or injustice. They are paradise.
Get fucking real mate.
Lesser evils, not wonderlands. Grow up.
"The lesser evil is the one that's worse than almost every other country on earth"
Wow, you must really hate LGBT folk.
Bush killed a million people in Iraq.
Obama brought open slave auctions in Libya.
Trump.
And then Biden, who is overseeing a genocide.
The Great Satan is the worst on Earth, so I'm just siding with the lesser evils against it. Be more practical.
lmao
