Seeing the US orchestrating over 80 coups, funneling money into them, training death squads, sanctioning, weaponizing the IMF, deploying troops, dropping bombs, injecting propaganda, and more; and then going "But wait China messes with other countries too!" IS the whataboutism

There is a clear first place worst imperialist. Second is very, very distant. Devoting this degree of energy to anything but first place and then defending first place when it comes up is imperialism apologetics.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
