    BUT I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE US, I CONDEMN THAT TOO

    (never mind that they have literally never said anything more against the US’ actions than “huh, that was kinda messed up back then. Good thing we would never do anything like that now. US hegemony must be maintained so the evil don’t take over”)

      “I support that” or “I’m against that”

      Maybe I’m Calvinist in this way but I don’t believe that thinking a thing is bad or good or occasionally mentioning such constitutes support or resistance. Support and resistance require actions otherwise it’s just you re-assuring yourself that you are a good person.

        This would mean that us hexbear liberals and other liberals are in fact not supporting most of what we claim we support. Which is true. (of course public vocations of support are political acts, too, but there can be more to constitute support)
