  • America might be flawed but it’s still overall a force for good in the world.

    Biden might suck but we should still vote for Democrats on the state or local levels and participate in the [nonexistent] primary to put pressure on Democrats because they are clearly better than Republicans and progressives would never lie to us (cough bernie cough fetterman cough AOC).

    Communism is impossible because it goes against human nature.

    China is capitalist.

    Organizing for revolution in the USA is hopeless.

    It’s impossible to scientifically understand human societies, even though humans are part of nature and nature can be scientifically understood.

    We can solve all our problems with technology alone. There’s no need to change anything else.

    Things will be better in the future even if I don’t actually do anything to make them better. (This one has been an issue for me. “The future” for a Marxist like myself isn’t terribly different from religious visions of paradise.)




  • I want a world where Biden represents the Right party I hate.

    The Democrats are a far-right party by international standards.

    But right now, he’s representing the only party that isn’t making a goal hurting people I love.

    I guess we’ll downgrade the mass murder charges to mass manslaughter since the Democrats don’t explicitly state that they want to commit genocide, even if their policies always result in genocide.

    There are dead people I care about that would be alive if Trump had lost to Hillary in 2016.

    100% probability Hilldawg would have killed as many or more people than Trump did. They just would have been overseas or in amerikkka’s internal colonies—out of sight, in other words, so liberals like yourself wouldn’t have to worry about them. “Fascism is okay as long as it doesn’t negatively impact me.” More people have also died of covid under Biden compared to Trump (specifically because of Biden’s anti-vaxx, anti-mask policies), while the proxy war Biden started in Ukraine has resulted in hundreds of thousands of needless deaths.

    My problem isn’t people saying Biden is bad. My problem is people saying he’s as bad as Trump. As a president, he is absolutely fucking not.

    Without doing research, name a specific policy passed by Biden or the Democrats since January 2021 which has improved your material life.





  • I can also recognize that their autocratic ruling party represses and censors their citizens, and I don’t think that is a good thing. I wish the best for China and truly hope that some day, all their citizens will be able to express themselves freely.

    The USA imprisons more people per capita than China. There are also limits to free speech in the USA, as evidenced by the bourgeois regime’s brutal crackdown on the George Floyd protests among countless other examples. Which society is more free exactly?


  • Americans generally being unaware of how far their country has fallen behind the rest of the world in virtually every respect (except sucking). Despite increasingly obvious problems that intensify every day, large numbers of Americans believe that American “democracy” is the end of history and as good as it gets. If you criticize their country, they will blame the other major political party (even if both major parties have indistinguishable far-right policy outcomes since they are both owned entirely by the bourgeoisie) or say that other countries also have problems, ignorant of the fact that those problems are either less severe or caused by the USA. Either that, or Americans will assume that you are a paid shill or insane, since no one on Earth could possibly have a legitimate reason to despise America. American ignorance is profound and purposeful even among highly educated Americans. Americans believe the shittiness and backwardness of their country, the half lives even the happiest and most successful among them live, to be humanity’s permanent and ideal state.



  • I just didn’t understand the way your question was worded because it was garbled. I don’t have any reason to host a data server and I don’t live in China, so you got me, I’ve never been personally impacted by Chinese government censorship and repression. Obviously that means it doesn’t exist, QED.

    “The Chinese government has never done anything that has negatively impacted me or anyone I know, I have never known a Chinese person I disliked, yet I passionately despise China. I am extremely different from Republicans who have never set foot inside an American city yet are terrified of doing so. It’s you tankies who are propagandized, not me!!!”
