A person so willing to talk that shit also likely doesn’t understand capitalism or the forces they will go up against, or they are actually farther to the right / cynically self-interested than they let on. These things are not actually unrelated. Imperialism is actually a dinner table issue, but a lack of consciousness means it goes undiscussed and instead folks try and fail to understand why everything is so expensive (or not) and why they have to go into work on their day off and why their new neighbors are refugees.

The supposed dichotomy of domestic and “overseas” is a myth in the imperial core that relies on chauvinism for it’s mask.
