It's crazy - we all actually tend to agree on most things. We all sort of agree that the US government has committed atrocities, that wealth redistribution is what we should be striving for, that billionaires suck, that universal healthcare is good, all that good shit.

But they are stuck on the idea that their favorite governments can do no wrong.

“I agree that the U.S. is evil and has been the objective bad guy in every war it’s ever been in (and the US has almost never not been at war) but I believe the U.S. wholeheartedly in matters of foreign policy”

Of course they can do wrong. We acknowledge legitimate criticisms, but we’re going to refute slander against socialist governments.

I trust international investigation and evidence uncovered by reputable journalists.

If a country refuses to allow international investigators to do their job, that is a significant red flag.

Are you talking about when the I.C.C. was sanctioned by the U.S. for investigation of Afghanistan war crimes?
