Political education in the US is designed to churn out peoole who unironically say shit like that and simultaneously believe that they are radical and unique from everyone else saying the sane thing
When I was a very young adult, I believed that for a bit. The idea thay the truth lies between two extremes was reinforced for me regularly growing up. I “heard ‘both’ sides” because I falsely believed they both had a kernel of truth. I felt incredibly smug about being immune to the things others fell for

I know some canadian leftishists and their nationalism is very strange compared to their professed beliefs.m
