Or are you under the impression that we secretly conquered their country and forced them to erect a statue of our most beloved president, bill clinton
Along with the eu, nato, and un, yea that's basically what happened to yugoslavia.
Did depleted uranium just happen to fall on key targets for no reason?

How about the banking system forced on Japan after ww2, or the wmds in Iraq? Or the terrorists in Afghanistan?
Or the communists in Vietnam?
There seems to be a boogeyman around every corner. Better send some democracy to fix it.

That's actually a contradiction in terms. Like having a Homophobic LGBT society, or Jewish Nazi.
What about people like me? I'm a lesbian in a mans body.
Does that mean I have to be liberal?
Either way if it makes the founder of BLM look even more like
a hypocrite I'm a go.

Capitalism is not a sham, it works as intended. And you damn well know how it works.
Capitalism works just fine, what the Chinese have is not capitalism.

China is actually more capitalist than the US right now because of the low level of regulation and the high dependency on market forces.
Trump used tariffs and trade restrictions to alter the market.

Critical Race Theory is simply a divisive crock of #.
It most definitely IS NOT Marxist.
The very first reply in this thread pretty much explains things.

'The left' has been hijacked by middle-class intelligentsia elites who have no understanding of traditional 'leftist' goals and objectives and who care very little for improving standards for ordinary, everyday people regardless of race or creed.

You may be right.
You clearly are more informed of how things are in the US than I.
Traditional Marxist-Leninism and 'leftist' ideology in general have been thoroughly demonised in America.
People have a paranoid fear of anything and everything 'leftist' and see 'Red's under the bed' everywhere.
The details of the how's and why's are probably a discussion for another time.
The thing is; the whole 'woke' agenda has been dreamed up and driven by a very small minority of self-entitled middle-class 'intellectuals' secluded from 'real life' in their academic ivory towers who have developed some sort of guilt-ridden angst for their privileged background.
They arrogantly believe they are far more intelligent than the rest of us and that they know what is 'right' and just.
They have hijacked 'the left' and are using it to force their policies on us all.
But the thing is; why are the people who have the money, the real power and control letting them get away with it?
What do they get out of it?
