    It is not OK when the United States of America commits imperialist expansion and genocide.

    Therefore, it is OK when other countries commit imperialist expansion and genocide.

    This is sarcasm.

    I have to specify because there are actually dipshits dumb enough to unironically believe this utter fucking bullshit around here.

      I agree 100% with this comment

      I can’t believe people here support the genocide and imperialism Ukraine is doing to the people in the Donbass just because it isn’t America

      Thanks for finally saying it, everything that every country ever does is Imperialism! Context? Who cares! The main thing is that since everyone is doing imperialism, everyone is bad. But “we” are doing it less badly than them, which makes them worse, so lets talk about “them” more than ourselves, I think thats fair!

      This is sarcasm.

        i am literally criticizing whataboutism.

        every time someone says “russia shouldn’t be doing that” the response is “bUh wUdDaBoUt UsA”

          The point is, if you are against imperialism, then:

          1. You should know what imperialism actually is.
          1. You should be against imperialism all the time, consistently.

          Libs neither understand what imperialism is, nor do they condemn it when the West does it.
