- mrtranscendence 5y agoSo I'm literally unable to criticize any government with legitimate power besides my own, otherwise I'm engaging in colonialism? Am I allowed to have opinions at all, or is this just about expressing them? Does that extend to every country or just the ones you care about?
- thescriptkiddie 5y agoIt's not about your personal opinion, it's about the endless stream of opinion pieces from journalists, politicians, and military contractors saying that the US needs to "intervene" in country X. Nobody ever asks what the people in country X want, or looks into the history of how country X got to be the way it is, or acknowledges the fact that "intervention" is a euphemism for bombing. The USA is not a force for good in the world, it a world-historically vast military empire and it only cares about the people on the fringes if they have some resource that can be exploited.
