On a related note, it’s amusing how there’s a bit of a civil war they’re having over blaming Brandon for enabling Israel’s genocide, and blaming him for “funding” Hamas and not helping them enough. Going by the comments.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Isolationists happen to be on the right side for all the wrong reasons.
None of these people are isolationists. Their idea of America first is preemptively nuking the Middle East, Latin America, and China, then enslaving whoever survives to mine resources for them.
There absolutely are isolationists in the US. They have a long tradition that was far more pronounced before WWII. Rhetorically they dont support getting involved in any war because that only benefits liberal imperialists. But in practice the liberal imperialists just need to fabricate some incident and then they start foaming and demanding we turn some country into glass. A decade later they figure out they were lied to again and the cycle repeats itself.
Once again being reminded of the weirdos who argued that America shouldn't colonize the Philippines because it would make it easier for the Filipinos to move to America. Imagine being so right wing that you somehow come out as a staunch anti-imperialist.
Simple, be a petit-bourgeoisie nationalist who doesn't have a way to profit off of war.
I'm pretty sure that the guys I'm thinking of were mostly Californians who lived in the area around San Francisco and helped found Stanford, and who were concerned that the Filiponos would move there if formal colonization occured.
