But defend yourselves from what?

Brigading, trolling and logical fallacies.

the whole of mainstream American society is neoliberal

The mainstream politicians definitely are. But polling suggests an overwhelming majority of Americans support progressive ideas.

Then consider speaking of them less presumptuously

I’ll speak how I want thanks. I live in a free country.

In order: learn how federation works, oh no you poor thing, and Ben Shapiro wants his shtick back.

You don’t need to tell a communist that the people are to the left of the politicians, but apparently a communist needs to tell you that as far as engaging with individuals go, that means shit if they are too occupied with the same “gommunism no food” talking points the politicians to their right fed them.

As an aside, Denmark is still liberal, capital is the dominant power there as much as in the US.

I said “consider,” you have the right to be willfully ignorant and undercut your professed interests, those freedoms are some of the few that really are protected in the US. Regarding speech, it is only free if it doesn’t matter and otherwise you’re in jail or shot, and you need only look at Assange for evidence of that.

But please tell me how your country stands for freedom as it tirelessly works to oppress the bulk of the rest of the world, overthrowing whatever country it deems too much of a problem unless that country hardens itself remarkably against external threats. Huh, I wonder if there’s some throughline here?

Your argument is getting throughly scattered and devoid of meaning. You might as well say, “I’m trolling you.”, and save yourself the effort.

I said “consider,”

I did.

I don’t agree with the US cold war policy of toppling socialist countries and instating capitalist dictatorships. Thankfully modern US foreign policy is about supporting democracies. edit: spacing

Do you, like, investigate any of this? Are you not familiar with the attempts to topple Venezuela, the brief coup government in Bolivia that massacred protestors, or anything that isn’t a White House Press Release? Do you think the bombs dropped on Yemen were for democracy? Do you think the continued colonizing of Palestine is for that purpose?
