At the very least, those of us outside the imperial core will never make the mistake of trusting the US on anything ever again, if there were any left that did

What do you guys think of this comment, btw? /c/conservative mods @PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com and @Lookin4GoodArgs@lemm.ee

You wouldn’t not respond, right? I’m just curious.

This comment is nearly perfect

Just needs a line break between each point

Edit:

Rule 3: No bad faith comments. For example, saying “America is a shithole” without further elaboration is bad faith. Saying “America has X problem because Y reason” is presumably in good faith.

Saying “America is bad because of its neo-imperialism which has characterized its foreign policy since at least WW2, either through its public statements and actions or through later declassified information such as its involvement in the 1973 Chilean coup or the 1965 Indonesian mass killings” is presumably in good faith.

Saying “America is bad because of its monopolar position in the world economy” is bad faith.

Saying “America is bad because, in spite of the world decolonizing in form, America has taken up the imperial mantle as a premier neo-colonial power, through weaponization of finance. It extracts surplus value from other countries through financial means such as predatory IMF loans, direct economic sanctions, and manipulation of the US Dollar” is presumably in good faith.

Saying “America is bad because it starts wars” is bad faith.

Saying “America is bad because its own capitalist decline requires constant expansion into “new” markets and does not have any purely domestic economy as such. Its domestic economy is a protected garden fertilized with the excess accrued from its foreign exploits. This nationalistic self-interest coupled with the self-interest of certain capitalist businessmen in power has caused the US to be the instigator or at least partial cause of the majority of world conflicts in the last century” is presumably in good faith.

Saying “America is bad because it opposes unions” is bad faith.

Saying “America is bad because it actively passes legislation and abuses state authority to break strikes and discipline labor, all while cutting taxes and regulations for the largest corporations, even under ostensibly pro-labor liberal administrations” is presumably in good faith.

They could do just that with proper bike lanes and regulations letting the streets not be congested

But yeah they probably don’t care
