Nationalism is the stupidest thing humans have created regardless of who their propaganda affects and how.

There are 2 rightwing parties in the US. If you are a leftwing voter and live in the empire or any of its vassal states, you're wasting your time.

Get ready to be asked for the time in Moscow/Shanghai by the nuanced McCarthyists

There's a difference in hating/disliking people because of unchangeable circumstances and hating regimes.

True leftism is "when America bad" and the more "America bad" you spout, the more to the left you are. Having nuanced and principled opinions is inferior to campism, gotcha.

A giant list of US atrocities

You can call it "nuance" all you want, it doesn't change that such a critical stance is always rooted in state department propaganda.

Western "leftists" trust imperialists more than foreign PoC, which surprises nobody.

So instead, we should trust... The other ogliarchic and blatantly fascist empires?

Call me crazy, but I don't think unapologetic fascism is "leftist."

Why do you believe the US and anglophone-media when they demonize their main enemies, and say that they're no different? You should take anything a serial liar says with an extreme grain of salt.
