I scrolled down decently far, and I'm not sure I'm contributing much, but whatever. I should mention that I consider myself a centrist.
My feelings on it are basically: what does support mean here? I see people complain that we support China and Russia, and I'm not sure how people here meaningfully support them. This is a kind of liberalism in the confusion of being a good opinion haver is a form of praxis and I think it's the result of a too online leftism.
I think what really matters is not some ideological bent over who is "supported", which I guess is posted about online, but what are we doing to advance a political project that advocates for world free from oppression. We could haggle over being in the US with our lawns on Indian burial grounds, and what our place in this world is and I'm amenable to that.
My comrades are the people I know that are advancing that project, I don't care if they think it's epic and yolo that trump had hamberders at the white house or if they think he should be publicly executed, or somewhere in between.
Death to centerism but that that is an excellent point about posting. Like, way better than what some leftists in good standing are able to manage.
