    ISIS are still reactionary ghouls though, just a lot less powerful. Adapting "No Vietnamese ever called me a [REDACTED]" generally works better if the designated state enemy are left-wing governments of relatively small nations (e.g. Cuba or Venezuela, not so much PRC necessarily).

      They are fucking animals that's for sure, I thought this worked better because this is an obvious absurd exageration. But really no TerroristTM ever denied me healthcare

      I'd say "the CCP never charged me $100k for cancer treatment" still works.

      Isis has done more to fight US imperialism than any American leftist

                    Yeah, 6 years ago. How does that prove your point? American propaganda changes on a dime, they've been softer on ISIS recently because the new boogeymen are Assad, Xi and Putin, all of who ISIS is working against. FFS, American media use China's harsh policies against Islamic extremism as an example of how authoritarian they are.

          My understanding was they were Saudi-funded. Which very well could be them laundering CIA money.

            Yes, totally. Like your puppet regime funding a group that is opposed to you? Do they really think people is that stupid. Yes, people is that stupid.

        On the same note as RNAi, ISIS looks a lot more like the Khmer Rouge (except not even the pretense of socialist anti-imperialism) than they do the Viet Cong.

        By that logic you can also just go and excuse the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese too, since they were fighing US imperialism

                I'm calling them bad because they rape, kill, loot and destroy in the name of some disgusting, perverted insult to "Islam". I'm calling them bad because they commit ethnic cleansing against religious minorities and commit terrorist attacks, in which, need I remind you, aim to kill innocent people en masse.

                Now that I think of it, weren't we butting heads a while ago about you calling Iran a good and anti-imperialist state? What happened to that?

                  Iran is anti American. I will take their side over the Great Satan’s.
