This doesn’t fit very well. The United States are plenty authoritarian, so the statement isn’t delusional, and also they are not unequivocally sucking chinas and russias dicks so most likely not a tankie, just a leftist who tries to engage in good faith discourse (without realizing that he’s in the wrong place for that)
You’re allowed to criticise the US government in the US.
Counterpoints: extralegal prisons and black sites, several flavors of secret police, excessive police brutality, a constant state of conflict to sustain an overgrown military industrial complex.
Please don’t get me wrong, the United States are in my European opinion still leagues above the dystopian shitholes that are China and Russia, but regardless plenty flawed themselves. As are we Europeans
Don’t forget the lack of public healthcare. Wealth over health–ridiculous.
Or he’s just doing a little bit of trolling. Implying the country you hate and the one you love aren’t that dissimilar is a hell of a troll.
