Absolutely fitting that Australia on this map is a neoliberal infested ideological hell.
It always weirds me out how blind people are to the status quo. People will see it as intolerable that critical support for AES is a thing or that some people hold fringe opinions like "the dprk is good", however will view people having positive opinions on the USA, Australia, the UK, or France as acceptable despite the horrific violence those countries export and direct internally.
It seems very inconsistent to me, how people apply criticism to leftists they disagree with.

It's so obvious when western leftists refuse to purge their indoctrinated assumptions and refuse to purge their inner liberal. It's really irritating sometimes

Someone had a quote about how white supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberalism, invisible to the naked eye but observable by all their other ideas orbiting around it. These people do not appreciate just how suffused their upbringing has been in the polite kind of racism

Good article, expresses the same frustration I have felt.
People also memory-hole their own complicity. Like the invasion of Iraq in 2003(4?) was immensely popular in coalition countries (e.g. usa https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2023/03/PP_2023.03.14_iraq-war_00-04.png)
Active dissent was rare. Yet there has been no reckoning, no addressing of the flawed ideology that lead people who consider themselves reasonable to support an illegal war that slaughtered around half a million people directly and has lead to many more deaths.
But someone says "death to America" or whatever? Better start catawalling over the "correct" way to discuss your grievances. Heaven forfend someone say something like "I hope Iran brings the western world to its knees". Then you're supporting authoritarians.

When agentant said “No borders,” he meant “silence them for inquring our KGB’s failed plot!”

Well the blahaj.zone instance blocked me because I suggested that they shouldn't celebrate "kys posts" and then stood up for myself when they insulted me and for what I said.
I'm not a tankie, but people on lemmy get upset when you can seriously challenge them
