    why would AOC need critical support? she isn’t on our side and her vision of “democracy” “economic rights” and “civil liberties” are as meaningless as when Biden or Blinken talk about “human rights” or “democracy.” she called a white supremacist a white supremacist and that’s cool and all, but she upholds the system that enables people like him

      is this the bit where the meaning of critical support is thought to be ‘necessary/vital support’ (i.e. critical hit, critical operation) and not ‘support with regards to specific ventures with assumed criticism holistically’

      like, when I say ‘critical support to Russia in providing aid to Cuba in defiance of US sanctions’ I don’t mean ‘Russia needs vocal support for this action because it is necessary and vital’ I mean ‘Russia is doing something good with this specific thing, and while I am acknowledging that, I want to clear away any insinuation that I am also defending, agreeing with, or trafficking in apologia for, say, the reactionary treatment of the LGBTQ+ population within Russia.’

    I believe in a multiracial democracy, one of economic rights, civil liberties, and that affirms the working class and the rights of women and LGBTQ+ people.

    gulag. If Nick Fuentes is gassing you up (even ironically) then you have failed as a human being lmao. Radlibs will say anything to get vulnerable people to side with them because they use people like Fuentes to threaten them.

    I dream of the end of the US Empire and the destruction of the Global North. Fuentes and AOC are two sides of the same coin, they just want power and prestige.

    edit: I guess critical support works here but she’s an USian radlib so it’s more complicated.
