    we can just look at how things were historically

    Correct, we can look at the dictators America put in place via coup, then kept in power with military aid over the last century.

    The only difference is that you’re starting to notice it, but you will go back to brunch like all the other libs if Gavin Newsome wins in 2028, and continues 98% of Trumps policies, the same way Biden did, the same way Obama did for Bush.

    Democracy has certainly meant a lot more than just that to the countless people who got out of nondemocratic regimes

    When westerners talk about democracy, they’re not talking about Cuba, Vietnam, Venezuala, Bolivia, China, countries whose governments are overwhelmingly popular because they enact the will of their people, they’re talking about countries whose rulers do what US capital wants.

      I agree the shit during cold war was bad and it was good that we had moved past that. Unfortunately it looks like that and worse is now again on the table for USA. What I was really talking about was even further back than that though. The real period of no international norms whatsoever, pre-WW1.

      But yeah, I can see you’re one of those tankies who only wants to desperately see one thing so probably not worth continuing.
