Weren’t the demonstrations against the Iraq war the largest in US history before the Trump era?

I hear a ton about US foreign policy, and how awful it is. But I don’t think it should be surprising that people are more immediately focused on issues that personally affect them.

If they take you alive you’re not doing enough adventurism.

Oh come on. If the police aren’t trying to kill you it’s not adventurism, it’s just vandalism or giving food to the homeless. Put the work in!

I had a pronounced phase in my political development where I only cared about domestic issues - I was always confused by the comrades engaging with me about the primacy of anti-imperialism. It seems obvious now, not sure what really pushed me over the edge. Probably just beginning to pay attention and learning the history of US foreign policy and how inexcusable it is.

Also, learning the class character of NATO helped.

Because most of the loudest US “leftists” are social democrats who want free healthcare and a living wage but uphold imperialism no questions asked.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.
