Oh no, I agree with you. GN will reject all principles for cheaper gas and better material comforts. They are losing their material comforts anyway so they might accidentally hold the right position on basis of losing their material comforts.
Capitalism requires their material comforts reduce, regardless of them leaving other nations alone or not.
A lot of them actually see the invasion as the reason their material comforts are being reduced - they pay the cost of invasion and get none of the benefits.
The truth is that invasion is simply an independent variable, the bourgeoise will continue to suck up all wealth and resources, from Latin Americans, from USians, indiscriminately.
The kidnapping of Maduro inflamed this rhetoric, and now they claim China, Russia, and the USA set a deal for splitting Venezuela, like how the Allied Powers split the Ottoman Empire.
US: illegally kidnaps the president of a sovereign nation
Reactionaries: okay here is why this is China's fault
Yeah, not much to work with here. I wouldn't spend your time trying to play defense, because a reactionary rhetorical tactic is to always keep you on the defense.
Stick to verifiable facts. You can condemn verifiable imperialist actions. Condemn China when it take verifiable imperialist actions. Condemn the US when it takes verifiable imperialist actions. At the end of the day, China has done nothing, except in their imagination. US is like an infinite fountain of imperialist bullshit.
Westerners are willingly complicit in crimes because they instinctively and correctly understand that they benefit as a class (as a global bourgeois proletariat) from the exploitation enabled by their military and their propaganda — organs of coercion and consent.
TRUEEEEEE
At least for all of history up until now.
I don't yet personally know any liberals who support the illegal invasion of Venezuela, even some of the most turbo-lib places on reddit are anti-invasion, probably because they are realizing that they will continue to pay the costs while receiving none of the benefits.
US global petty bourgeois is slowly collapsing into the rest of the global proletariat. So, they are taking the right position, even if for the wrong reasons.
But I do know some neo-cons and reactionaries who changed their minds overnight: they're thrilled. I figure because they think they're gonma get cheap oil at no personal cost, and because libs and leftists are mad and that's the only thing that gets them off now.
Yes, although the fact that Renée Good was a white woman means there was a lot more outrage over her murder than over people of color.
This is why it's so important for privileged people to use their position of privilege to resist.
