    I’ll just leave this here.

    Pretty much every geopolitical action we take is for our oligarch’s profit. Sabotaging regimes that wouldn’t be friendly to exploitation, installing regimes friendly to resource extraction for a song, defending good business partners doing genocide and human rights violations, etc.

    Don’t mistake a broken clock like helping Ukraine with benevolence. We never have been benevolent.

    We didn’t even enter WW2 as some benevolent heroes, our pacific fleet was decimated, the war came to us so we went to war to fight back. The US practiced eugenics prior to and even post WW2 though involuntary sterilization of those seen as undesirables. Had the Axis not thankfully committed the greatest strategic blunder of the 20th century, we wouldn’t have for a lot longer, if at all.

      What part of ‘reject campism’ did you not understand

        I’m not refuting the point, I’m adding to it.

        Russia, the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and China are all the worst of actors. Moral consistancy means being on none of their sides.
