I read an old article recently about how "young radicalized men" were sympathizing with the Taliban after the US evacuation of Afghanistan. She literally thought a bunch of dudes were ideologically aligning with the Taliban. The writer clearly could not grasp that many many people had a little laugh when Western imperialism got its nose bloodied just a little bit. And if she couldn't understand that, how could she ever understand much of the world doesn't care for American neo-Liberalism/ Conservatism?
It's hilarious and sad how things have shifted. These same people would have actually sympathized with Vietnamese communists back in the day. Meanwhile, I'm against both those wars because I don't like interventionism, not because I like communists or the Taliban.
But, yeah, apparently you hate America if you want them out of the Middle East now? Or if you don't want war in Ukraine? I wish the left would go back to pretending to be anti-war.
hate America if you want them out of the Middle East now?
Yes. This is not implied, it is directly stated. If you do not support the export of "American" ideas to the rest of the world, you are un-American. Of course, what is meant by American ideals is a very specific worldview put forth by various progressive politicians an NGOs. The same approach is used while discussing threats to "democracy." In both cases they are referring to the policies of the progressive regime.
