30 upvotes: Doves win political power, surrender, then say “see, interventionism can never work!”

Genuinely flat-earth levels of delusion to think this is how the US operates. A take so ignorant it stops being annoying and starts being funny.

baby's first geopolitical narrative

I guess it's inevitable people will resort to the fifth column excuse whenever an imperial power loses a few wars in a row.

Name more iconic duo than fascists and stab-in-the-back myth.

Oh, you're just not considering all the recourse extraction and juicy private contracts. It's not a matter of 'doves' giving up. The market-metabolism of empire necessitates moving on to fresh targets. The social organism we call the United States depends on maximizing entropy abroad. Let fly the depleted-uranium bullets in Europe!

i gave them something with a tad more explanatory capacity, lets see if they have more of a response then downvoting...

They’re right. We must kick Joe “Tree Hugger” Biden out the office. He’s too weak to win wars. Get back Hillary.

Give a liberal a liberal from another state to compete against and watch them turn into Lord Gerald Nigelhouse, Baron of Headington and Her Majesty's Royal Advisor on the Empire.

And if the others do not see themselves as liberals? Good. You now have a civilization vs barbarism argument on your hands, using morality to justify war.

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 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

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.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
