Let’s be honest, no government is trusted and truthful. Some are obviously worse than others, but to trust any of them blindly is stupid.

[murdering thousands of people] guys do you realize your leaders are as bad as mine? can you be serious? i’m trying to elect White Obama 3

What?

Theyre pointing out that youre false equivalencing

Oh is there a government that hasn’t killed its citizens? Do tell us of this utopia

Yep every government is exactly the same, Nazi Germany and Algeria are exactly the same, America and Iran are exactly the same, you are so fucking intelligent and will definitely accomplish things in the world.

So that’s a reason to trust some governments but not others? Very very on topic and on brand. Oh that’s right, just YOUR selection of governments would never lie nope. Only the Americans ever lie lol

You trust fire to keep you warm when you’re camping, even after all the people it’s burned to death? Trust is not a binary, and talking about “trusting” a government like I would trust a friend is classic liberal political illiteracy. Plants, animals, natural phenomena, laws of physics: I trust everything to act according to it’s nature, and in the case of thinking beings and organizations I trust them to act in their interests. If I know what their interest is, I can trust my predictions. Where those interests overlap, there is a basis for cooperation. This is why leftists are able to critically support groups like Hamas while liberals remain hamstrung by racist suspicion: leftists understand that these groups can be trusted to act against our common enemy, because of a shared interest in survival and self-determination. Liberals demand impossible perfection from resistance while tolerating outright fascism from their own side, but delude themselves into thinking they are “equally critical” of all sides. Nobody believes you when you do this. Oh that’s right, just YOUR selection of governments would never lie nope. Only the Americans ever lie lol Yet more projection from the people who conveniently believe every atrocious lie their government tells about the designated enemy of the week when it’s important, only to turn around when it’s too late to matter and say “well of course I never believed that.” Opposing every aggression except the current one, pretending to be impartial while acting predictably as “reluctant” cheerleaders of empire in the Churchillian delusional that “our government is the worst, except for everybody else’s”. It would be so much less disgusting if you would simply be honest with yourselves about being partisams of western empire like the rest of the right wingers, but instead you cling to this threadbare pretenses of being above political struggle when anyone with eyes in their fucking head can see exactly what side you’re on. People might be less sick of you if you didn’t insist on endlessly projecting your bashful western supremacist mindset onto people with actual morals and knowledge. Go read a single book and evolve out of the larval fascist stage your political development has been arrested at. Free Palestine.
