    That depends, is the trolley sitting over massive oil reserves?

    If so, yes, the ground underneath that train looks like it needs some freedumb so we can pillage the resources exclusively to benefit Western Oligarchs “benefit the region with mutually beneficial free trade agreements.” 🔥🚃😵😵😵🔥 🔫🇺🇸🤑💰

    Fun little math fact: trolleys are commutative, so if you explode a second trolley, you’ve double-protected American interests.

      There are 2 serial killers. Serial killer A kills people. Serial Killer B rapes, then kills, then eats people.

      Serial Killer B existing doesn’t make Serial Killer A good by comparison. They are both worthy of scorn to slightly different degrees.

      Just because your mother plops you out in a place doesnt obligate you to blindly worship that place from cradle to grave.

      The Chinese, US, and Russian governments are bad for some of the same and for some different reasons. There are many developed nations that, unlike them, prioritize the well-being of their people and the future of their society over the economic interests their respective elites, so there’s no excuse for any nation not to.

        Yes, I’m not arguing that the US is good, I’m saying I prefer it to having the authoritarians take over.

          The US is the most authoritarian government in the world. How many countries have the Americans invaded in your lifetime?

              I do. For example America invaded Iraq, Afganistan and bombed Syria, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan and more countries. This is just in the last 20 years.

              Is there anything more authoritarian than invading a country and killing the people who live there?

              The question is whether you know what authoritarian is.

      Do you not have an issue with the way America uses drone strikes or do you see a secret panel that I don’t see that excused other atrocities?

        I just think drone strikes with sword bombs are cool as fuck, and I’m tired of pretending that they’re not
