    Well the guy in the tweet himself is making terrible false arguments for no other purpose than to divide the left, so it’s pretty fucking easy to believe that he would defend authoritarians.

      Your lack of knowledge (and likely willful ignorance) about US imperialism does not invalidate his argument.

      If anything you proved his point.

        I am well aware of us imperialism. I was referring to the idea that nobody else knows about it either which is patently false.

        I’m sorry you’re just buying into bullshit arguments because it makes you feel smart.

          I like how you confidently said that his arguments are false without providing any evidence. And now have moved on to ad-homineming me as well.

          Do not feel pressured to address the actual argument. Instead I recommend insulting my entire instance next. Try making a correlation to a threaded armored vehicle that is certain to win over the crowd.
