Comment on China’s Xi Jinping likens ‘US hegemony’ to ‘fascist forces’ ahead of Vladimir Putin summit

You don’t think the US-directed NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the US invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, the training of death squads in the School of the Americas, the genocidal rampage of the US in Vietnam and Korea, the annual vote in the UN against resolutions condemning the glorification of Nazis, the staffing of NATO with Nazis officers, the collaboration with the Vatican to save Nazi officers and give them new identities and lives all over the US and Latin America, the development of neo-nazi sleeper cells (called stay-behind militias) throughout Europe, the protection of the rights of the KKK and of white people lynching black people, the systemic eugenics programs, the forced sterilizations of undesirables, the mass incarceration of their population, their use of slave labor to produce billions of dollars of goods for for-profit companies, and the collective punishment of civilians in a dozen countries over the past multiple decades…

You think all of that doesn’t reveal the USA as a fascist global hegemon but electing Trump does?

Not the person you replied to.

Why did you write that list? All they said was Trump is isolating America.

  It was such a short comment that they wrote. Do you have short term memory loss?
  
  Under the current administration, Xi isn’t wrong about fascist forces.
  
  Is this saying Trump is isolating America? No. It is saying that Xi isn’t wrong about fascist forces but specifically under this current administration, contrasting it with prior administrations.
  
  I’m not sure about the “hegemony” part, the way the US is isolating itself.
  
  Here’s where they said Trump is isolating America.
  
  A full 50% of their comment was NOT about isolating America.

    A. Yes it’s a short comment thats part of my point.
    
    B. Don’t be a dick.
    
    Is this saying Trump is isolating America? No. It is saying that Xi isn’t wrong about fascist forces but specifically under this current administration, contrasting it with prior administrations.
    
    Yeah being specific about current events. Do you not think Trump is blatantly courting fascists?
    
    You can say the other admistrations are fuckers and still think the current admin is worse.
    
    A full 50% of their comment was NOT about isolating America.
    
    So half was. That’s a good chunk of a comment to say. The Trump admin is acting more isolationist than the Biden admin.

    Cool. So anyway. The commenter said Xi is correct about the US being fascist under this administration but implied that it would be incorrect to say the US was fascist under prior administrations, so, I wrote my comment to provide the context to show that this implication was wrong. The US has been a fascist force for many decades. Some points of view grounded in historical analysis posit that the US has been fascist since inception because it was formed from a colonial society that was fascist.
    
    But yeah, Trump is more isolationist in some ways than a bunch of recent presidents. That’s also true
