“Objectively good guys”
Wow, that was much more racist than I was expecting when I started reading the images.
What can I say except “how compelling, now get in the pit.”
“I want the exact opposite for the white guys.”
Aaaaaaaand this is why the global South should never stand with Western countries ever
Crackers really are evil, any good crackers are a rounding error

Thank you for posting it! And if you ever want a place to mock this kind of thing and vent about it, /c/slop on this instance is for that exactly.
Liberalism final boss holy shit

objectively good guys
Not leftists. Liberals.
TBH Bernie pretty much said this and almost all AmeriKKKans think of him as a “leftist”, but I agree that he is also a liberal. The actual AmeriKKKan left is very small, and even then quite a few are this way (for example, many factions of the DSA).
Yeah I don’t really respect the political opinions of most Americans enough to label them as they self describe. Those of us in the rest of the world are still going to use the words that properly describe what the ideology is.
Based and anti-American pilled. However, chauvinism is absolutely real even in the actual American left. It just doesn’t manifest in the kind of “rules and norms” nonsense the meme is making fun of.
American leftists cannot imagine a world that isn’t totally dominated by capitalist imperialism or one that isn’t ruled by capitalist elites, where the wealth has been removed from these evils so they cannot exert control over the masses, so they wont even entertain the idea of “maybe everything doesn’t have to be done in the most evil fucking way possible.”
“people of Venezuela are happy for Venezuela” oh you mean the “people of Venezuela” in fucking Florida who are, very coincidentally, much more wealthy and much more reactionary than the actual Venezuelans living in their native country?
Believing in self-determination of Taiwan is calling it what the Portuguese called it.
Taiwan does have some cool history when it comes to resisting colonization efforts, like the Hakka shooting up the Japanese forces when they first landed in 1898 (and then getting murdered in retaliation unfortunately) (also the Hakka were themselves settlers or descendants of settlers, of course. “The history is complicated”)
and the indigenous Seediq chopping off heads of Japanese occupation forces a couple of decades later (and then getting murdered in retaliation unfortunately)
but for some reason I don’t expect that guy to know any of that. I may be wrong but I’m going to assume someone calling themselves Chicagofire, complaining about “sweeping generalization of americans” and using terms like “PRC” and “Formosa” is, in fact, a USian, and like most USians, know nothing of world history
Leftists from the Global South are the moral compass of our world
Even the analysis by much of the actual US left has been quite lacking around this imo. The primary line seems to be that this is bad because the actions of the US are imperialist and warmongering which is absolutely true, but it sort of just ends there. There seems to be a shying away from the actual specific conditions of Venezuela and it’s relationship to the US. Instead of solidarity for Venezuelan socialism the best the left here seems to muster is “we shouldn’t bomb you because that’s wrong for obscure reasons”. It just seems hollow and maybe even harder to build a long term movement around.
It’s the imperial core and people might be scared, yes, but avoiding the fact that Venezuela has popular support, communes set up, and has been under siege? Not even trying to convince others?
It seems like the more ML aligned groups are talking about these things at least but they’re definitely not part of the dominant narrative here.
There seems to be a shying away from the actual specific conditions of Venezuela and it’s relationship to the US.
also imo, the relationship between the US & the actual imperial warmongerer state that still exists which canada is part of- even venezeula was once part of the british empire!
e.g. look at epstein’s ties to the british royal family which colonial cuck nations like australia/canada will continue to ignore for as long as the UK tells them it’s ok to do so while cloutfarming from liberal americans who applaud them for #resisting the evil donald trump #nokings
dead dovebritish royal family conspiracyposting, do not openTL:DR; its all connected man, how can “it” not be when all of history is connected?
charles I&IV, king of hungary, and direct lineage of the famously inbred happburg royal family, became presumptive heir of Franz Joseph and the austrian throne after his uncle, Franz Ferdinand, then arch duke of austria, was assassinated in 1914, an event that is considered a “pivotal” moment in initiating WWI.
british confederate expansion began in australia/canada in the late 1890s/early 1900s, both countries have a very similar shared history and methodology of colonisation involving sterilization, stolen generations and attempts to “breed out the race” and catholic indoctrination schools
the romanov family were descendants from the same family tree as the current british royal family- and DNA samples from prince philip (alleged nazi sympathiser husband of the now dead queen elizabeth ii & father to former-prince andrew) were used to “definitively” “prove” that princess anastasia was definitely dead after persisting claims of her survival. + then everything that happened in russia leading up to, &, as a result of the death of the romanov family in 1918
the british royal family has had a long history of nazi ties, including papers from 1945 that detail a plan for the british empires cooperation with the nazi party (documentation that the UK “allegedly” tried to have covered up and erased from history)
former-prince andrew’s apparent refusal to testify/cooperate in the epstein case (coupled with the fact that little st epstein island is part of the virgin islands, and, convenietly located right next to the british virgin islands, a british colony that is home to significant leaks involving international money laundering
the “security concerns” that caused prince harry to move to the US were resolved recently. but some other prince harry highlights include:
- his swastika costume party scandal
- his criticism of the british govt & british press
- the ongoing conspiracies surrounding the death of his mother Diana & the paparazzi ties to the Daily Mail
- the ongoing discourse surrounding his deployment to afghanistan largely pushed by the daily mail/associated media companies
- everything to do with his previous “party boy” reputation including TMZ-leaked nudes of him in 2012 where he was photographed with his then-girlfriend, Cressida Bonas who was introduced to harry by princess eugenie, the daughter of former-prince andrew & sarah ferguson
robert maxwell is alleged to have been a british/israeli spy & was also an early investor in israeli-owned teva pharmaceuticals (a company which produces opioids (more recently in the form of medical fentanyl for cancer pain). teva (like all Big Pharma ™ companies) has had many scandals, but specifically one where the CEO of apotex pharmaceuticals stole trade secrets from his girlfriend who happened to be the director of global regulations at Teva). barry sherman, the canadian founder of apotex & his wife were murdered in 2017 a few months after this case. teva was founded in the early 1900s and sold medicine to the british army occupying forces in palestine during WWII.
justin trudeau was previously under investigation over him accepting allegedly illegal campaign donations from Apotex pharmaceuticals which could have ruled his eligibility to be prime minister invalid, but, this trial was dismissed after barry sherman was murdered. unrelated(?): justin trudeau is now dating katy perry (the singer, not this one)
justin trudeau’s alleged assasination attempt resulting in diplomatic breakdown between canada/india (canada still under the british empire & india which was under the british empire until the end of WWII ). see also: https://observer.com/2002/11/vik
also robert maxwell’s media empire via the Daily Mirror and it’s heated rivalry with (australian) robert murdoch owned News Corp. the murdoch media empire also has a long history with the packer family. james packer was previously introduced to the church of scientology by tom cruise, then lived next door to netenyahu in israel but most recently decided to become trump’s neighbour last year moving to florida.
james packer also founded RatPac entertainment alongside Brett Ratner with Gravity being their first film. brett ratner is known for the rush hour film series & is also the director of the upcoming Melania Trump biopic
this doesn’t necessarily related to any of the above, but i think it’s also interesting so i’m mentioning it anyway while i’ve got my tinfoil hat on: did you know that the Wolf of Wall Street was co-produced by Red Granite pictures, a company that used allegedly embezzled malaysian government funds to produce it?
(propaganda/educational bias disclaimer: i’m an australian who is now living in canada)
like idk man, maybe the united states should
annexenter a committed relationship with canada lol- the canadian dollar is only good for faciliating international money laundering thanks to legal loopholes created due to the fact it’s a technically separate country (despite the fact that ~75% of the population live within 100km (60 american freedom miles) of the US border. (e.g. see the whole ryan wedding thing & also the ongoing issues that border states have any time there’s any sort of environmental disaster).
- I get the sentiment here - that Westerners might have some blind spots about ideas of sovereignty, etc., but…
- Having lived in the “Global South” for so long and lived here in the West for a couple of years too, I’ve met leftists from both hemispheres (?). I can assure you that we are just as heterogeneous, compromised, sectarian, as you guys in the West lol. This is giving “noble savage” myth.
It’s less the leftists you meet and more the leftists that are allowed to have power and influence.
This!
Only true to some extend. There’s a ton more people with anti-imperialism sentiment than any western country, but there’s lots of libs and bootlickers too.
I’ve already seen a bunch of venezuelan libs on bluesky and here in Brasil the rigmt wing, specially bolsonaristas, are celebrating and calling for the same to happen here, inclading a lot of politicians.
Why are we even talking about the libs? Libs are objectively rightwing regardless of the country.
Because there’s a ton of libs that actually tend to lean more to the left in latin america that opposes and condems the USian invade while also saying shit like agreeing Maduro is a dictator.
As much as I also don’t see them as leftists, there is a clear difference between these libs and the ones that full on agree with the invasion.
A lib is a lib. A defender of the capitalist status quo. A leftist who claims to be ‘anti-capitalist’ but regurgitate the same imperialist propaganda from the largest capitalist government is a problem on the left.
That’s an oversimplification. Here in Brazil for example there are strands of workerism that have a lot of the same criticsms we have, fight in a lot of the same fights, but don’t take into account class and don’t want to overcome capitalism. They are still libs and as wrong as they are, they are considered left here and are much more left than the current government.
The ones who consider social democrats and liberals ‘center left’ need to redo their political education.
I don’t like it either but we can’t simply ignore it all and antagonize those that are willing to be by our side in one way or another, it just isn’t that simple
I tried and this is what I received.
?This happens every time the imperialist war machine does anything. Western leftists fall back into line and start kissing boot now that they’ve had their fun playing at being a leftist, while western leftists continue to oppose this shit and try to point out to everyone else how the US and west do this sort of thing all the time, and this isn’t new or shocking.
Oh come on this is not true
The leftists in Latin America the ones who keep saying Maduro evil ,and the ones who says Faked elections ,dictator ,you don’t understand cause you don’t live here
