You say the only difference is openly or not, but there is very clearly a huge degree of severity difference to this problem with anyone else vs Trump. And a notable one between Democrats and Republicans.

not really if you are outside of america, no

Being outside america doesn't suddenly make republicans better or democrats worse.

Yes all presidents burn bridges with allies and start wars with literally zero plan.

Literally all presidents damage the global economy recklessly

Literally all presidents threaten to invade an ally on the regular.

Yeah great point tankie.

Read your own comment.

Your problem is "zero plan", "reckless", etc. Just vindicated my point.

And being tankie is the logical position, liberalism has killed thousands of innocent people in imperialism. Liberalism is a genocidal illogical ideology.

Apparently you don't understand sarcasm. And no there's nothing logical about embracing an authoritarian government, quite the opposite.

authoritarian government

the govt that resists western imperialism is authoritarian according you, this is a meaningless word

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can pretend you don't know what the word tankie means and that ruthless dictators are fine, but no one is buying it

[–] Tolc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know that tankie is a meaningless word invented by western liberals so they can cope about their ideology and disregard its evils in name of authoritarianism.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's meaningful and descriptive. You stand for authoritarianism. The kinds of dictators that use tanks on their own people.

do you think liberal democracy is authoritarianism?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know how much value you there is in me playing along with you trying to trick me into some gotcha which won't work. Tell ya what, if you admit that China has an authoritarian government that murdered untold citizens at tienanman square and still denies it happened to this day, I'll humor you. No? Well then I guess we're done here.

[–] Tolc@lemmy.world 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You cant answer a simple question, you know your ideology is genocidal and hollow while claiming to be morally superior. You are stuck in tianmen square that happened 40 years ago and is entirely irrelevant event for most of the world.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -2 points 21 hours ago

Hmmm lol

You cant answer a simple question
