      False-nuance is a big problem for liberals, who frequently understate the brutality of the US Empire and overstate any misdoings of its adversaries. This helps justify the US Empire’s genocidal imperialism.

        You have to be careful of the memes you consume. The entire point of this meme lies in disputing the existence of nuance, relying on the latter half of the meme to hook people who know not to trust the statements of a fascist/imperialist regime and pit them against the strawman being depicted. It’s like an infection vector for radicalization.

            Just don’t let your belief cloud your judgement and blind you to real nuance that actually exists. Which this meme is intended to try and convince you to do.

              No, it isn’t, ir’s pointing out “false nuance” as I described, like both-sidesing the genocide of Palestine.

                It makes no such distinction within its own context. You’re relying on your own preconceptions, ones that the meme is trying to erode by excluding. Otherwise it would mention actual nuance instead of mocking the idea of nuance.

                  It’s mocking the false nuance many liberals bring. I say this because I know OP is a communist, and must have seen the massive amount of false nuance liberals point to.

      When you both sides the imperial hegemon slaughtering thousands and the resistance movement born from the slaughter you are doing imperialist propaganda.
