• No you don’t understand, it wasn’t 80 years of fascist power consolidation and continual capitalist cannibalization since the 70s, It is all Putin manipulating social media causing the material conditions in the Global North. One thing is for sure, no one wrote a book in the nineteenth century describing this exactly.

    Republicans do, but they blame them on the wrong foreigners. The foreigners causing most of the problems are Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami, and a few others.

      Republicans do

      Democrats frequently blame all of the USs problems on Russians.

      Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami

      All three are literally US citizens, and Ramaswamy was literally born in Ohio.

      I see that American liberals are white nationalists now.

        I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.

          After WW2 most of the worlds imperialism, death and destruction and theft has shifted. The main perpetrator went from being Europe to the US. With Europe remaining complicit of course.

      Elon Musk is a foreigner

      No, he’s an American citizen. Or are American liberals full ‘blood and soil’ now?

      The author Domenico Losurdo uses the term mutual demystification a lot, especially in Liberalism - a counter history. When two parties accuse each other of being hypocrites, it often ends up showing that they both are.

    It’s not necessarily foreigners, but rather billionaires that are the problem. They bought off and corrupted government officials long ago, and directed them to perform heinous acts to line their pockets further. The rich have got to be stopped in order for things to get better. I’d prefer to simply tax them out of existence, but there are other means available…

      The US was founded on slavery and genocide / conquest of hundreds of indigenous nations. It’s rotten to the core.

        Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England. This is a human problem, not a national one.

          George washington, franklin, jefferson, madison, all the founders were slave-owning colonizers who explicitly modelled their country after ancient Rome.

          It’s not a human problem, these were specifically evil people who did not share the same values as the people they murdered and enslaved.

          Most countries were not founded in this way.
