They should but there are a lot of simpleminded idiots on the left whose entire argument is "America is bad so that must mean America's enemies are good" and call America all sorts whilst supporting fascist regimes because America bad. Not to say that the West/America hasn't done some bad stuff, but those lefties really don't have much difference to the far-right idiots. They'll happily support Putin or Xi Jinping as long as it hurts America, whilst looking the other way at how brutal these regimes are. And I consider myself on the progressive left but fuck the tankies on the left, Lol. |
I kind of agree and disagree, while it's true that mentality exist on the extreme left I think even them in regard to the situation in Ukraine can see that Russia is the obvious bad actor here and only marginally diverge from this opinion.
I think Nicaragua's situation comes down to other factors
- Their past history with US
- Their past history with Russia/soviet union
- Population average education level
- Population ease of access to international news
Also off topics but in regards to this: "They should but there are a lot of simpleminded idiots on the left".
IMO, there's 2 kind of people in any ideology group (of course it is spectrum not just one or another) there's those who:
- Believe in their position
- Understand their position
Extreme are always constituted of those mostly or only do believe as understanding require a level of critical thinking that will more than likely evolve the way you think. I think this can be explained to some degree by the Dunning - Kruger effect :
