I told them that what they called Western hegemony is different from the rules based order. They said the rules based order is Western hegemony. And I said I agreed. That is what I am saying. Real Western hegemony is a rules based order. And they said yes, that is what we are trying to get rid of. And I said no, but we don’t even have that right now. We need more Western hegemony. And everyone at the same time was like “nooo” we are socialists, we are against Western hegemony. Socialists oppose Western hegemony. And I said but not social democrats. Social democrats are the socialists who support NATO.
And I saw someone accuse my post of strawmanning.
Libs know exactly ONE thing about history - that Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler by letting him take the Sudetenland, and it didn’t stop him - and think it’s some universal truth that applies in every situation.
That exact analogy has been used by high ranking US officials to justify nearly every conflict since the WWII, including Korea, Vietnam, and the War on Terror.
It’s also not true at all, i.e not a fact. Chamberlain wanted to collaborate with Hitler, not appease him.
Of course this is only surprising to Liberals who can’t imagine why the leader of the British Empire would be a fascist 🤔💭◻️
It’s such a perfect line because it reveals their total neoliberalization, the entire monstrous, bloody affair of war is justified by a potential Return on Investment.
etc etc etc fucking etc.
Suck. It. Bitches.
people who type like this deserve gulag
Why invest in democracy when you can invest in democracy manifest?
If Ukraine isn’t open to Western investors then maybe Taiwan won’t be either. Then South Korea. Then Poland. How will my boss’s boss make a steady 15% on his capital if that happens?
This is an investment in democracy.
next comes Taiwan, South Korea
Ok. Cool, good.
Nooooo south korea must hold out against the evil wicked satanic north
thats why their president wants everyone to do 60 hour work weeks, so everyone can work extra hard for democracy!
In South Korea you have the freedom to work 60 hours, but In North Korea, all jobs are banned except for dusting the Kim Jong-un portrait. If you are found doing anything else, you will be executed for 12 generations.
