Remember folks: China is communist in the same way that North Korea is democratic and the Nazis were socialist.
It's just a smokescreen.

"NOOOOOOO you have to pick one of the two teams or you're a RADICAL CENTRIST!!!!"
Not really the point, but that's a funny little oxymoron; to be a radical anything you'd need to be actually committed to something so much that you want to do actual ground work to further a cause.
Radical centrism:

^needs ^more ^jpeg, ^I ^know
It is a real thing but the term radical is used a bit different
The radical in the term refers to a willingness on the part of most radical centrists to call for fundamental reform of institutions.[1] The centrism refers to a belief that genuine solutions require realism and pragmatism, not just idealism and emotion
So not radical as in extremist action but radical change

lemmygrad, and lemmy.ml 😭
Learnt this the hard way, my first account was on lemmy.ml
Lemmy.ml is a default instance, so many newbies start there and find out how the admins operate there. So that's a funny thing with lemmy
I chose it as my first instance since I wanted a leftist one. Oh boy did I earn an experience
This is just like how I can praise so many things about China, push back against anti-China US propaganda, and still not pretend it isn’t an authoritarian regime where Xi made himself essentially life time president now.
Speaking of that, are there any left leaning subs that aren’t delusional?

Really though, the level of imperialism apologizing I've seen has been pretty humorous on this platform. Like people will say with a straight face that we need to support our client state Israel to secure our regional interests. It's the same song and dance from the concert of Europe giving guns to the corrupt African client kings so they can murder the other guy's corrupt African client kings. All for the noble civilizing influence of the state. But this time it'll turn out different. Just like it was different every other fucking time an empire ideologically justified it's imperialism. Because this one time is exceptional, unlike all the other instances of exceptionalism. Furthermore, I consider Carthage to need to be destroyed

Is this being federated from some platform other than Lemmy? Because I have literally never seen someone support that position here.
No no, you don't understand. America bad, therefore anything against America is automatically good. It doesn't matter who it is or what they do.
As a Venezuelan who's against Yankee imperialism and our current oppressive """""Socialist""""" government, I approve this message.
I think people should separate
A) ideal world they want
B) what has to be done now to survive because everyone is an asshole
The US is the biggest source of imperialism in the world. We don't have to always follow that up with "butwhatabout" to distract from that, which is what the US media machine does by running stories all the time to manufacture consent for its own imperialism.
How is this a shitpost? there's no shit!
