They can but they aren’t

For one, no, that’s not how burden of proof works: you were the one who made the claim first. I wish you Reddit losers would actually learn what these phrases mean rather than treating them like magical incantations for winning debates. Secondly, you’ve already been presented with ample proof that you just ignored.

“During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.” Blackshirts and Reds, Michael Parenti

Step back and realise that you’re trying to quibble about levels of evil between child rapists.

Shouldn’t have decided that supporting genocide was more important than the election. Also lol at trying to justify it by essentially complaining “But now it’s happening to actual humans, not just non-westerners!”

The founders were slave owners

Least insufferable redditer

Glad you’re still whining about losing an election over a year later because you supported genocide.

Lol. Now you’re just copy-pasting random phrases from the book of reddit debatebro cliches.

No. Not what I said.

It’s fun watching you define liberalism out of existence. You’ve already made it so the Democrats and their supporters aren’t liberal by your own definition

One post ago you were saying, and I quote “No liberal supports [Genocide]. Literally none.” Now you’re trying to pivot to “well I don’t personally support genocide (though I did vote for it”

Needs to remove the Jill2016 pin though, these kind of people all think she’s a kgb agent now

I always get so much second hand embarrassment from clueless liberals trying to condescendingly explain their poor understanding of politics to vastly more knowledgeable people. It’s like watching a primary school student lecturing their teacher that all cats are female and all dogs are male.

As if Trump supporters are the only ones this meme applies to. Western liberals are just as bad in that regard

I’m not surprised. This is someone who got so mad at me pointing out the Biden administration was complict in genocide that they started stalking me across the fediverse for months

Lol, you tried to claim no mls were there, and then when got got proven catagorically wrong you tried to pivot to “they aren’t all mls!”

Just making up claims Cowbee never made because you can’t actually argue against him

That’s “whataboutism.” Lol. No it isn’t, it’s not even fucking close. You think I’m going to read the rest of that when you’re already starting off with straight nonsense like this? Fuck I hate whoever trained shitlibs to just bleat “Whataboutism!” At any and all arguments, like a magic spell from Harry Potter (which is basically what you think it is)

Failing to overthrow the system

the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo That’s every country reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law. Reductions from what? The USSR was an increase in all of those things from Tsarist Russia.

“Fuck Apartheid South Africa and the ANC” Your position is just support for the oppressor.

I’m not finna make an hour long course for you bro Cringe

Jesus Christ. Anarchists not beating the stereotype.

If you’re curious about theory there’s tons of alternatives to books: podcasts, film Lol Robert Evans LOL

So, ultimately, you’re glad things are going to get worse for the Iranian people.

Nope, just makes it even more hilarious because you’re still here in the west Dumbest person alive

NUANCE!

Your ad hominem fallacy tactics are childish. Go back to reddit

wHaT?

You do

No you aren’t. We don’t have to pretend you’re being sincere

Noone mentioned you, narcissist.

Yes, go back to reddit

Then I’ll permit you to say No one gives a shit, imperialist dog.

At least the western fascist imperialists annex with capitalism instead of by governance. How exactly is that better?

A single dominant hegemon is extremely uncommon in world history

Not a puppet? Spare me. Faith based politics

No

“I know you are, but what am I!”

Ukraine will retake Crimea any day now!

“How can you effect me to criticize foreigners if I can’t be racist!”

“I broke the rules, and they removed my comment! This is an outrage!” Please point me to a “non-tyranical” com then

Literally “I know you are, but what am I!”

you’d be even amusing but, alas, Why do you losers always talk like you learned to talk solely from anime and Joss Whedon movies?

Damn, you really thought that was good enough to post?

“voluntary coalition of countries and individuals who promote freedom and justice and wish to build and maintain a world of international laws and norms” This propaganda was obviously always bullshit, but it was killed for good in the ruins of Gaza: anyone still spouting it is either knowingly lying or 12

Racist, homophobic, chauvinistic, and juvenile; it’s a shitlib bingo

Neither capitalist nor anti capitalist, but some secret third thing

which is a terrible idea of you care about the human cost Once you’re at the point of advocating for voting in genocidal right wingers, you’ve lost the ability to just dismiss things out of hand by invoking the “human cost”. Labour will make fighting capitalism that little bit easier. Citation needed mate. I’m pretty sure you just mean you’ll be more materially comfortable under Labour.
