I'm not sure anyone knows what a tankie is.
Apparently saying any country other than the US should take a turn at world leadership is a tankie opinion.
no but it is a tankie dogwhistle
you're from beehaw, not exactly a trustworthy place when it comes to being unbiased
I know you didn't ask for this rant, but that's ok, it's not meant to be directed at you. This is an open -carry ranting state, and this is rant is legal even though it's unregistered because it's from the Internet.
It is shitty to rule - setting aside corruption and greed, and imagining a world where leaders were just and smart and altruistic, etc - even then - ruling will lead to mistakes and failures and horrific results. That's.. unfortunately kind of natural.
But holding that leadership accountable - that's normal too. That's how you remind them what a fuck up is, and what horrific means. Our protests against their failures in leadership are there to right the ship. Our voices are a vital part of the plan.
(And, yeah, obviously things are weighted a little (a lot) unfairly due to greed and corruption - but that's not the point. The point is: when something is wrong, it's wrong. When leaders do wrong, you yell at them. That's how you tell them what wrong is.)
To say that we (the USA) can't be criticized because "omg leadership is hard" is making excuses - and if you stop telling them what wrong is, they're going to start to forget.
Shouldn't the US just die? I thought commies wanted to do something not act like moderates
Kind of is at this current moment given the other superpowers, but it's wrong to even think that the world should have leader like the US. No country has anywhere close to a majority of the people, so an actually multi-polar world, or even a world with no clear poles would be ideal. Taking a turn implies that we need someone else in the US's role, but the reality is that the role shouldn't exist.
