You quite literally are saying that because you would personally benefit from the empire that has been committing genocide after genocide throughout its history and which has been the most prolific aggressor in the world for a while, you choose to be more aligned with it instead of with the rest of the world. You choose for your position to be an oppressor-nationalist one and anti-internationalist.
Going to quote the relevant line lest you decide to hide it later:
So the US is better off in that regard, I’d much rather live there and their government positions align more with my own and I’m anti-China and “anti-authoritarian” in that sense, but still a socialist
So are you implying that the relative freedom for queer folk in the US is a direct product of imperialist foreign policy
No, it’s a consequence of LGBT community fighting for its rights, and not a consequence of your empire voluntarily giving LGBT people their rights.
Also, it wasn’t too long ago when your empire was more hostile to LGBT people than the PRC is today, or other non-Imperial core states of the past. You seem to assume that it is impossible for relevant things to change.
In any case, you are a chauvinist. You will find another reason to support your empire’s genocides. If it’s not LGBT rights, it would somehow be women’s rights. If not that, it would be some vague ‘human rights’. If not those, it would be no less vague ‘freedom’ in general and ‘freedom of speech’ in specific. Those are all just excuses.
You literally support genocides of non-white people and killing and torture of LGBT people across the world on the basis that you, personally, get to benefit from your empire.
