      Trump literally attempted to leave NATO at the end of his last term and frequently talks about it this term. If this is how Trump fights against China then I supremely hope he sails away and starts fighting for the Chinese, soon.

        Again your logic was anyone fighting authoritarians = good and fighting poverty.

        Trump uses the excuse of fighting China to fuck up the economy with tariffs that not only does nothing to hurt China but only screws over the American economy. But since it’s fighting China it’s therefore good by your logic.

        None of that is at all relevant to why you claim NATO is fighting povert. Or why that logic can then be used to imply trump good

          You seem confused about how my question relates to the meme? It’s a litmus test for whether or not a person is the sort of Tankie who supports China sending Uyghurs to work camps until they die, who supports Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, who supports Pig Butchering Scams and Psyops which get people like Trump elected. If you wonder if a person actually opposes capitalism or actually just opposes western democracies, you can ask them their opinion on NATO and they will clear up any confusion.

            And what does that have to do with your logic saying trump is good?

            Also a weird purity test for someone that wants a big tent party.

              lmfao, I even already clarified Trump is sidingnot with me but WITH YOU on this issue.

              Not a purity test, a polarity test to separate us from enemies of mankind and themselves. Tankies are in the GOP base.

                No you ignored it and deflected by saying trump wants to leave NATO which is unrelated to the logic of him being good because anti China.

                Who do you think are the enemies?
