          The US is also a major economy that trades with every country in a substantial way. So do you find its trade with Israel acceptable, as I thought you were implying about China?

                I would like you to know that I downvoted you because this comment is a bullshit way to have a discussion. I don’t disagree with your argument persay, but you come off as a dickhead that thinks you’re hot shit peanuts. So get fucked.

                  Cool story. I have no idea why you are reacting this way. If you wanted to give me feedback so I behave better this is useless.

                  Commenter literally posted the same non-reply twice. I was trying to be as polite as possible but what else can I even say?

        If one was moral or principled, certainly not. If one was a campist, fair is fair I suppose.

          My personal view is campism is a stage 4 terminal tumor on leftist thought. So I’ll stick with no in both cases. I support BDS.

            Agreed. I think that’s the point of the meme. Not justification, but pointing out how much of the criticism is unfortunately hollow.

    the failure of campist based leftist infighting is that no nation represents the best interests of the working class. the global north shouldn’t be thought in terms of the empires that compose it but instead in terms of a transnational oligarchy that uses national identity as a distraction from class war

      That sounds accurate for the here and now for sure, the rich, investors, have no loyalty to any western country, not the ones that undergird and protect their wealth, ahem, and not the rest. Patriotism is for the sheep. As defined by them. True patriots are the left, at least in the US, defending the constitution.
