I think China is first or second for nearly every country.
Should we excuse the US by the same logic then?
What?
The US is also a major economy that trades with every country in a substantial way. So do you find its trade with Israel acceptable, as I thought you were implying about China?
What
What else do you want to know? I explained as clearly as I can.
I don’t think they were excusing China. You might be thinking of a .ml instance?
Maybe not, but I don’t see another interpretation. There’s China apologia everywhere on the threadiverse.

If one was moral or principled, certainly not. If one was a campist, fair is fair I suppose.
My personal view is campism is a stage 4 terminal tumor on leftist thought. So I’ll stick with no in both cases. I support BDS.
Agreed. I think that’s the point of the meme. Not justification, but pointing out how much of the criticism is unfortunately hollow.
The Soviet Union was also the first country to recognize Israel and helped arm the Nakba.
the failure of campist based leftist infighting is that no nation represents the best interests of the working class. the global north shouldn’t be thought in terms of the empires that compose it but instead in terms of a transnational oligarchy that uses national identity as a distraction from class war
That sounds accurate for the here and now for sure, the rich, investors, have no loyalty to any western country, not the ones that undergird and protect their wealth, ahem, and not the rest. Patriotism is for the sheep. As defined by them. True patriots are the left, at least in the US, defending the constitution.
That’s going straight into my vernacular!
Big countries do shitty stuff part 5 trillion
Let’s end countries.
