I hate this dichotomy of pro-us or pro-china.

It is possible (and highly encouraged) to use basic critical thinking and be critical of both when relevant.

You would probably classify me as pro-us, because I think tianman square was a horrible massacre and russian forces are commiting war crimes in ukraine. Doesnt mean I’m not critical of american imperialism. You can be critical to both. And in your whataboutism, I think a lot of ML, Hexbear accounts fail to be critical when appropriate of both.

The real question is if a person is truly critical of American imperialism or will still vote for politicians doing said imperialism.
