a person who has strong feelings about human rights and domestic US politics.
My take on any enemies of the US is uncritical support; the only impact the US will have on those people is further immiseration, thus to criticize them as an American living in America is to carry water for imperialism.
It’s why you see people get more worked up about Iranian oppression than Saudi oppression, despite Saudi Arabia being dependent on US military aid to oppress it’s people. The context of you, and American, hearing about gay rights in Palestine is to support further oppression of the Palestinian people.
North Korea good because US bad? Seems a bit reductive.
It’s not a fight between good and bad nations in my mind, it’s more about the struggle of people everywhere for liberation, justice, and equality. I’m pretty skeptical of most military actions since WW2 around the world. Such a destructive waste of human potential.
No, US’s opposition to North Korea is bad. It doesn’t make North Korea good, but I’m not going to criticize within the context of America, since the only use of that criticism is to support further sanctions or military actions against the people of North Korea.

Hey, thanks for being honest. I wish all of you guys would lead with that.
Have you seen literally every single military action the US has taken since WWII?
If you assume the US is on the wrong side, you’ll end up with the right answer every time. They supported the fucking Khmer Rouge until 1993.
