THE EMPIRE DID NOTHING WRONG!!

Sure it does. Hypocrisy has to be eliminated from the equation first.

Wars happen for a number of reasons, and there should be a distinction between offensive and defensive wars.

In theory, capitalism is incompatible with war as it is assumed to be a system of fair exchange. Many economists and philosophers followed Ayn Rand in promoting this idea. Obviously it is NOT such a system, and is instead a relentless amoral pursuit of profit and value extraction, and will cheerfully use war to obtain resources while simultaneously extracting value via defense industry stocks. It also uses war to crush any opposed ideologies, which is censorship in its most violent form.

I am not familiar with how communism or socialism is compatible with war outside of Rand’s claim that socialism consumes resources leading to demand for more which must be taken from neighbors rather than using a system of free and fair exchange.

Okay then, to answer your question: because all US policy has been built on slavery and genocide and theocratic authoritarianism for centuries, and has been trying to control the rest of the planet through forced hegemony since 1945 while trying to eliminate all the curbs on aforementioned abuses since 1980 (and arguably 1973, when Biden took office to join in the fascist backlash). Also. The whole world decided that an expansionist Russia and a fascist Germany were a bad thing but the US is desperately trying to reverse this. So yes, the US should be shat upon relentlessly and with extreme prejudice. Re-read Protist’s original statement again.

My point was NEVER “we are the only country of concern.” That was a cheap MAGAt-style straw man argument. That makes him a liar. He’s welcome to try again.

Strawman. Fail.

This is gonna be awesome

Exactly So why wouldnt you? The US is not and has never been a good guy.

Are you counting defensive wars against capitalist colonizers, fascist invasions, and uprisings against oppressive puppet regimes and tyrants?

Why wouldnt you?

Capitalism. All caused by capitalism.

Are you counting defensive wars against capitalist colonizers, fascist invasions, and uprisings against oppressive puppet regimes and tyrants?

The US is capitalist and has greater gulags than Russia ever could and regularly kills and enslaves millions.

Neither can capitalism. But communism is incompatible with war.

Oh goody then

I am being wildly censored and repeatedly banned. I really REALLY REEEEEALLLY despise Nazis.

You speak like that’s a bad thing.

Life is too short so love the one you got cause you might die of overdose on your wedding night after signing that big contract like a big fucking dumbass

Your comment isnt right on the mark; its frustrating because it’s nihilist MAGA-style groupthink from an entire class of people who bitch about The Way Things Are then reject all who want to change it. It’s like trying to get a sandlot baseball game started but every kid in the neighborhood just whines that baseball is stupid and pointless but bitches that there’s nothing to do.

I also dont think religion is to be credited for what good some claim it does.
