Nah, think I'm going to boil down hundreds of years of history in to 280 characters, that's the best way to get my point across in the tiktok age.

Hamas are terrorists, they killed civilians on 7th October

I am more pissed at people who don't know difference between Hamas and Palestine. "Hamas is bad, lets fight palestine. And Syria too. Go for Uzbekistan while at it. I heard Albania is a muslim country too. Indonesia..."

Russia is a right wing plutocracy and isn't using the aesthetics of socialism, so is this about China and not Russia/Ukraine?

It kinda doesn't matter what you call China, mixed economies outperform market economies.

Sure why engage with the actual reasons that leftists express for (varying levels of critical) support for any given country when you can ignore all that and dunk on this vague and convenient strawman.

I’d still rather have a state that pretends to be socialist than one that upholds capitalism - an ideology that seeks to place everything and everyone under the domination of a few elites.

Whataboutism is awesome for the empire. Incidents that happened 40-90 years ago can be equivocated with current empire abuses, and rulers protecting their nations from Empire's "democracy" manipulations meant to destroy those nations can be demonized as less perfect than the utopia of western democracy illusions.

Liberalist freedom or constructive anarchy is only a possibility if US empire is not intent on destroying you.
