And here's an example of why I call you the worst poster that we were all better off without.

Saying that people who oppose war are supporters of a "brutal imperialist campaign" is most definitely a strawman argument, and it's also a logical fallacy. People can most definitely oppose war without ulterior motives. Just because people oppose war doesn't mean that war won't happen, and it doesn't mean they want people to be slaughtered in any regard. How's it up on that high horse?

Ignore BRTD's posturing, but the idea is that by "not taking sides" in a conflict between imperialism and a victim of imperialism, you are effectively siding with the oppressor.

Supporting "no one" means supporting the brutal imperialist campaign of the United States.

I would have supported the Filipinos.

Yet supporting "no one" in the Ukraine vs. Russia conflict is the only sane and rational choice? Roll Eyes

I would argue that irredentism is distinct from colonialism.
