    If you’re so invested in your influencer that you will ignore endorsing actions that tools the lives of innocent children because the outcome was worth it in your eyes, you are not a progressive, or a socialist, or a communist, or an ally. There’s a certain strain of leftism that has emerged where America is always the worst so any action taken against it is acceptable, up to and including the death of a two year old. We’re going to have to be real careful about who’s getting into what power positions once MAGA is dealt with because we’ve got leftists who will preach solidarity now but would stab us in the back as so as the rebuilding begins.

        I wasn’t directing that at you, I should have responded with a “if one” instead of “if you” to make it more clear it was a critique of the culture of “my icon can do no wrong”, and then when they do “that’s not what they meant” than you the poster.

        That I’ve now met self-proclaimed leftists that are so “America bad” they’ve turned our fight against the Nazis into “blind imperialism” is… is something. Did we use what came after for imperialism, yeah. Would the world have been a better place if America hadn’t entered the war? Doubt it.
