      • Be American

      • Largest and most advanced empire the world has ever seen, with bases spread all across the globe

      • A trillion a year spent exclusively on “national security”

      • Never less than three different wars going on at any given time

      • Crisis of PTSD, drug abuse, and homelessness from all the veterans coming back home and washing out every year

      • Next election may decide whether we invade our southern neighbor, just for shits and giggles

      • Read a guy who posts cringe shit online

      “Ugh, I hate all these tankies”.

              The United States is the largest operator of military bases abroad

              Fascinating

                    And they did it first. Just cause the United states does it better doesnt mean Britain doesnt do it.

          Because Tankies are annoying, dishonest, and generally unwelcome.

              You’re on ML and you don’t know what a tankie is?

              Okay, so I recommend you get a different instance (.world if you don’t have an opinion) because you’re in an unhealthy and culty echo chamber.

              Tankies are people who pretend to be leftists while supporting authoritarian regimes. They care most about what’s worst for the United States, and will advocate for it regardless of how many people get hurt. They argue against voting and lionize Russia, China, etc. Weird, bad, and creepy folk.

            At least here, you don’t get deleted/banned for disagreeing with the hive. Check the mod logs and look at all the cowards banning people For being liberal in .ml and the like…

        • Be Russian
        • Pretends to be the most advanced empire the world has ever seen, with bases spread all across the globe

        • Crisis of being under armed when invading, uses literal criminals because not enough people support the war
        • Has interfered with every single election from any opposing countries, of which there are many
        • Leader is a dictator that did away with fair elections when they came to power
        • Literal definition of imperialist, while calling others imperialist (pure projection)
        • Is capitalist as fuck with billionaires
        • Still has dumb people shilling for them

        Every cogent political point must be phrased like a greentext I agree.
