@bunkercat36 They need to travel more. They'd learn that in many countries, liberals are one of the most western chauvinist segments of the population who look down upon their own people and blindly worship the US. That's why globally many left wing people viscerally hate liberals.
@funeral_planet@sinceretheory That is true. At the end of the day, most religious institutions or "liberal" "human rights" organizations are funded by the same corporate interests. They function as a soft power tool and the ideology is often just a mask.
@PamphletsY Xiangyu is right in that there are these differences, but at the end of the day Taiwan and Israel function as US proxies. So just like Mao said, the comparison does make sense.
@Shao_Khan001 I never heard a leader of a communist party say they hate the family. Where does this online subculture of "communists" who hate the family come from? My grandparents preferred the communist era and were religious too.
@michael_david41 That is why they have co-opted pro-palestine activism. Most of these liberal "pro-Palestine" groups are just part of the NGO-industrial complex. They smear all enemies of the empire, calling them "authoritarian", etc. At end of the day, they prefer the empire to anyone else.
@michael_david41 They should ask themselves. If US supports Israel solely because of Israeli money, why does most of EU, Taiwan, Japan, India support Israel? Israel has a total GDP of Poland. Are the bribing the whole world? Or is being pro-Israel just derivative of being pro US empire...?
@21stcentury_ML Because "authoritarian" is a buzzword the US uses for anyone they don't like. It unites both liberals and neocons. Aside from their fake culture wars, they agree on 99% of issues geopolitically.
@FerrazzanoJay As Roman empire was bitter enemies of Germanic tribes (ancestors of today's Dutch, Germans, Scandinavians, Brits etc), it's bizarre to view all of Europe as one civilization.
@nxt888 What I don't get is how some "pro-Palestine" people think xyz is amazing for saying "free Palestine" while fully ok that their candidate/activist never calls out brutal sanctions against Iran, DPRK, Cuba. As if children malnourished in DPRK due to sanctions were less human...
@_Zaraquin Both Democrats and Republicans are just two flavors of the same establishment. Corporate interests who fund both parties don't care who wins an election, as there is always a continuity of agenda.
@ImBreckWorsham Most communists globally hate liberals like Democrats though... I spoke with many Chinese pro-communist person as someone who hates liberals. We always agreed.
@RothLindberg Because it's about virtue signaling for these people. If they truly even supported Ukraine or Palestine, they'd read what UA media and Israeli media say about each other. They obviously don't care enough if they are not curious about how Israeli and UA media views the other..
