Because even as the Earth burns and the Fascists march directly due to the capitalist's class conquest, domination, and occupation, even many Americans who believe themselves to be politically leftwing think they can dunk on socialists and communists for their "silly" ideologies based in social cooperation and mutual social benefit where... Gasp... You can't grind yourself to death under the toxic aspiration of attaining immoral levels of wealth to live larger than is reasonable within the finite shared habitat known as Earth.

They of course conveniently forget all the military actions the US has taken over the last century to destabilize nations that wanted to become such societies in order to keep their resource markets open to our capitalist's exploitation.

Oh, and get ready for the hottest summer of your life... So far! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Anyone who praises Xi Jingping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and <insertAuthoritarianMurdererHere> as hard as I routinely see on lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad is an awful person and deserves derision, contempt, and distrust. They can call themselves a "leftist", "socialist", "communist", or a whatever-ist. Fundamentally, they're edgelord bootlickers and temporarily inconvenienced dictators-in-waiting.

"wHaTaBoUt USA, iSrAeL, nAtO, etc.?"

You can hate "The West", their people, their foreign policy, and their economics.

Doesn't mean you should suck dictators' dicks because they're "not The West".

Why the homophobic comment though

I'm sorry, if you really WANT to suck a dictators dick go ahead I guess...
