This could apply to any number of countries and it's getting kinda tedious. It's like a bunch of American teenagers just learned that their history books aren't telling the whole story and literally cannot stop talking about it. You hit college level history, congratulations, good for you champ.
Good in others, as an Australian who traveled there the average American is great. I just think you’ve been intentionally fragmented and manipulated. So there are large groups of people who want their country to change but cannot seem to find common ground and band together to strengthen those ideas.
Then you have such powerfully rich and crazy groups that seem to be able to rule the narrative
There's a huge difference between "lol le dum fat burger chez merica" and commentary about the history of the country and the patterns, systems, and dark truths that made it what it is today. Is there any one element in this meme that you'd argue is false?
War we are pretty bad at it. Like the last time we actually tried we nuked Japan twice. We couldn't even take over Vietnam since Nixon had a hardon for mao and didn't want to make him angry. Or that time the un told us not to make an irradiated cobalt dmz in Korea so we ended up with whatever the fuck is going on now.
We are also pretty bad capitalists, unless chronyism is capitalism?
We are also pretty bad at genocides unless we are dragging up stuff from over 100 years ago?
That's...capitalism. In a profit-seeking society, there's no greater profit than taking control of the society's government. There's no such thing as "crony capitalism" if that is what you are referring to. It's all a part of the game. Any sufficiently powerful company will eventually attempt to manipulate the law and regulations for their own gain.
The Soviet Union is basically what it would look like if a single corporation managed to completely take over society and push out all competition. That's why some people argue that it was a type of society known as "state capitalist", instead of communist, since they never actually did away with money, class, or hierarchy.
Another good example would be "Buy-N-Large" from the movie "Wall-E", although from reading the backstory on them, it seems like a more benevolent entity than we would expect from such a monopoly. Faced with declining profits from a failing economy and environment due to their grip on it, they implemented a system of universal income so that they could continue to have customers. They slowly became the world government and effectively operated as one.
Authoritarianism leftists are tankies. To be fair they are pretty much the same as authoritarianism rightists. They both want to abolish liberalism before they duke it out over economic models.
