Presumably, making people understand that the US (and western Europe) represent the most evil shit imaginable in the past 5 centuries including essentially the genocide of the entire continent of America and the colonisation of the entirety of south america, Africa and most of Asia, and that at no point was it worth dying for.
Would it have been worth dying to fight against it? South Americans, Africans, Asians... do you believe they had right and reason to oppose US aggression? Up to and including warfare? Genuine question. I think there's an argument to be made there.
I ask because, well... this you?
What a classic. The true contrarian. Western societies have often commited great evil in the name of colonial expansion and tyranny over foreign nations - we agree!
But... also Ukraine should give up? And the west should let Russia have Ukraine - in fact should have let Russia take Ukraine years ago, because people shouldn't die fighting a war against a tyrant expanding their territory? They should just negotiate in the face of unchecked aggression by a hostile superpower?
How did negotiations go for the Native Americans?
Either oppose tyranny, colonialism, and genocide across the board, or don't. I'm not interested in this half-assed tankie bullshit that one group of political superpowers can be the root of all evil, while another group should be appeased and negotiated with for doing the same shit.
