AntennaPod is alright
I wonder how much DailyWire pays to get this kind of promotion, trustfund fucks

So you admit the entire comment is just making shit up. At least we agree that far, but it makes me wonder why you would bother writing it. When I say Hillary would have invaded Iran, it's not hyperbole, it was a literal campaign promise from her directly.
And then started a war on Yemen
But then we’re immediately back to business as usual with insane production volumes of oil and gas (only thing America is #1 at in the world these days)
Not true, America is also #1 in prisoners per capita
In my experience in America, mostly light radlib/socdem.
It's not enough for you that they actively oppose Israeli genocide; rather, they have to also support Hamas in their struggle against Israel?
Centrism is support of the status quo. Nominally opposing Israel and Hamas is opposing change to the current trajectory and nothing better. Hamas represents the most viable current expression of the political will of Palestinians, hence its broad support by them, so any reasonable anti-imperialist will support them until such a time comes as they are no longer the most viable or they no longer have a war that it is productive for them to fight (i.e. once Palestine is freed from river to sea).
That's reasonable to most except those that sanction political violence as if it ever works the way we think it does.
Look, I hate the American Revolutionary War as much as the next guy, but I don't think this is an accurate characterization
Oh, sorry, you were probably thinking of something more like the Haitian Revolution. I wonder what the differences is 
and given weapons to russia
Let's not kid ourselves, his foreign policy is not that good
I was thinking about this and it occurred to me that, besides "buzzword", a term that people use that seems to specifically line up with what you've talked about is "scare word", a term that is annoying to research for obvious reasons, but we can find an attestation of its use to describe political rhetoric here and there.
A few more:

Hope this helps. I also saw "scare term" and "devil word" referenced in a pop-linguistics article.
Yeah, though the DPRK is notoriously poor in terms of natural resources. It could also be the PRC flatly throwing the DPRK under the bus for realpolitik reasons (which is still like half true in the more optimistic reading).
I like Pod About List and I think I'm like the only one who ever mentions it. It's an extremely dumb podcast by surprisingly clever people who are all socialists, though not all that well-educated on international stuff. I remember listening to it because they kept appearing with funny roles on the admittedly-better Episode 1 podcast, plus they did a radio-play type thing called "Frog Quest" that I loved, and I didn't understand why anyone would listen to their normal episodes until one of the shock humor bits really hit me when I wasn't expecting it and then I started to like it.
So basically go listen to Episode One
Yeah, "Man on his deathbed wishing he spent time with his family rather than just work more" is a very common trope in popular media (though not "overused," because that would mean it is being used too much)
