Sorry to vague post a little bit, but I hate "half denouncement." [Term by me].

What I mean is when people will rage so vehemently against something, but won't actually rage against the implications of said thing.

As much as I hate to bring the topic up, US veterans are a good example here. Here and other places like the deprogram subreddit will rage against veterans and take the BE position on things. This comment isn't to debate that position, I think it's an understandable one even if I have a few disagreements.

But in none of these discussions no one ever criticizes, for instance, the PSL that holds what I'll term the "old line." The PSL is very explicitly in the camp of what people criticize, and yet I very rarely see it brought up. Either in discussions on veterans or on the PSL. Not saying it has to be every time, just that it feels like a blind spot

This goes for other things too, but I just wanted to put this out here for rn while I was thinking about it

Edit: another example is Russia. Again, not here to actually debate a position, but both r/communismmemes and the deprogram subreddits took an inter imperialist war position on the conflict. However, when the DPRK has taken a much more pro-russian position, I feel like that criticism kinda got blind spotted by a lot of people
