I can agree with the text while being against the authoritarians pictured.

I just hope people don't think that everyone complaining about US imperialism is somehow fine with Russian or Chinese actions of the same hue.

The US as least has a flawed democracy.

I'd upvote the meme if it wasn't also controversial to criticize all war criminals, including both those at the top and the bottom.

Edit: For a source, see people in this thread rushing to argue and feel called out when someone criticizes "all forms of imperialism", including the Western ones.

I was in discussion (if you can even call it that) with someone and when he spoke about "Occupied Korea" i knew there was no point what so ever to continue.

There's no laddar long enough in the world to climb out of that hole.
