All the time I hear about "the CIA will coup this", "America supported that", "These people opposed US Imperialism". A topic could have absolutely nothing to do with america and involve a place on the exact opposite part of the earth and Americans will find a way to make it about America. For example, people talk about Russian politics and Putin yet seem to support Putin wholeheartedly because his Russia "opposes american imperialism". This framing of the conversation seemingly ignoring how Russian people feel about his reign, how the EU has been having to drag america into the latest sanctions against Russia, and how for the last 4 years America had an ostensibly Pro-Russian president. I swear American Leftists don't care at all about Capitalism or Communism and just want to oppose the United States. Most of the world and people don't care about American influence, let alone to such an obsessive degree.

    Thats so weird, outside of the small blairite war on terror troops that British person is probably multiple generations removed from even having a government doing major war crimes. Is there some sort of blood debt on them? Just seems so divorced from reality for me

      Well you don't live in Wales, where we are still recovering from the bullshit they pulled in an effort to pacify the population. People died just for the right to speak our own fucking language and the architects of Welsh oppression are celebrated by the English as heroes.
