America sucks. Israel sucks. Capitalism is collapsing. Kill all slave owners. Fuck the police. Fuck centrists. Fuck landlords. McDonalds tastes like piss. I think rich people should be in gulags. Crackers can’t cook. The Dems let Trump win. You probably can’t even read this because your education system is gutted.
This doesn’t trigger them nearly as much as saying “China does some things well.” Or any non US aligned state. Liberals are much more willing to concede that domestic policy is bad but never cross the foreign policy party line.
Look I’m not going to sit here and say the US doesn’t have a whole lot of problems, but I do hope the state department and NATO achieve all of their goals and continues to project power and untold misery across the globe because the Chinese or anyone outside of
would be even worse 
I think people instinctively understand that foreign policy is largely managed by unelected three-letter agency bureaucrats who couldn’t care less about who happens to be president in a given year. So foreign policy is outside of electoral politics and therefore outside of the concern of most Americans. Not to mention so much information is classified that the public can barely hold an informed opinion.
All of the above makes it easy to believe that somehow American foreign policy is immune to the clown show tendencies that pervade domestic electoral politics. We are also in the afterglow of Hoover’s FBI which was wildly successful in shaping the image of the government as a set of elite organizations run by the brightest people in the country.
I agree with all that, but I think it’s largely that the average American doesn’t care about things that don’t directly affect them.
As an American who cares about things which don’t directly affect me i must admit the cultural apathy is an intense beast to overcome. i, for one, appreciate the perpetual chastising that comes from this community
Same. Socialism without internationalism is still barbarism and Hexbear doesn’t usually forget it. I peruse /r/deprogram when things are getting spicy in the world and they have a bad impulse for American exceptionalism and chauvinism.
Comrade Xi will be justice to the so called “workers” of the Amerikkka Empire
