Fun fact: It's actually possible for two countries to both be authoritarian!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 weeks ago (61 children)

The US killed a million innocent people in Iraq just a few years ago, and is *currently * drone bombing several countries in ME and north africa, and is currently supporting the apartheid state of israel with billions of dollars in military aid.

The PRC has not been in a war since its skirmish with Vietnam in 1979.

The US has a network of > 800 military bases across the globe, and has been involved in regime change in nearly every country.

Which one is authoritarian?

You mean temporarily until Trump is gone so they can bomb brown people democratically

  1. No, I didn't
  2. Are you an ML? If so, why are MLs so antagonistic to non-ML lefties? American Democrats, I can understand, but why be so extremely dichotomous about who your allies are?

I don't know you, you could've been a US dem or som EU 'social democrat' or whatever calls themselves lefties.
I formulated the general sentiment of that group, overly represented on .world and crying about Trump's america.
I'm not antagonistic to lefties, only the pseudo-lefties.
If you're not one of then don't feel targeted.
You would be part of a small minority here tho.
