    Even tho we don’t care about it, the US holds no moral high ground on any country. The US certainly doesn’t care about it either when they support “socialist” forces in Syria, like the SDF, while also supporting headchoppers like HTS. Everything goes as long as it advances their interests.

      Oh yeah of course, the US is an imperialist, neocolonialist power that does a tremendous amount of harm in the world.

      I’m an anarchist, so you won’t find me singing the praises of any state power, for sure not the US. They do what all states do, consolidate centralized power and dominate as many people as they can.

      My point was that some folks act like anything that opposes the interests of the US is automatically good, and that’s not true, ISIS opposes the US, but they’re a pretty fucked up group of religious extremists, same with the Westboro Baptist Church hate group, who also oppose the US strongly, but are total scumbags.

        Regionally reactionary groups like Hamas can find themselves fighting for a globally progressive cause, just like regionally progressive groups like the SDF can find themselves strengthening globally reactionary causes.

        US imperialism is the main reactionary force in the world, so yes entities that legitimately end up opposing US interests, regardless of their internal politics, end up fighting for a progressive cause and deserve my critical support.

        On another note, ISIS is straight up an US pawn.
