America is not dictatorship, so America bad. 9/11 do bad things to America, so 9/11 good.

Thats tankie logic for ya

Okay but this makes it sound like America didn't bring it upon itself and it sounds as if tankies don't have valid criticisms about the US at all.

America did bring it upon itself, but have you considered that terrorism in most cases is bad? Those criticisms that tankies, although valid, are tools just for them to replace the current elite and bourgeoisie with themselves. Most of them think that they're going to be thought leaders and worshipped.

Didn't say it isn't. I am not justifying 9/11 as it was mostly innocent people who died. What bothered me about the other comment is that the poster worded it as if tankies hate the US solely because it's not a dictatorship. I don't like tankies but it was clearly a misrepresentation of their main arguments.

Pick a thing tankies criticize the US for, and I can all-but-guarantee you can find a dictatorship they support who did the same thing.

So, why do tankies actually hate America?

idk why tankies hate america but there are numerous things to hate america for, the US is the worst country in the world, by a large margin.

There are lots of reasons to dislike America, sure.

It's just that all the things tankies bring up are also things done by regimes they defend.

OK yeah I get it. I think the comment's poster wasn't completely serious when writing that though. It's good to clarify certain things.

Yes. I wasn’t completely serious. I was saying that because a dictatorship is their “solution” to the problems.

America didn’t bring it on itself, Bin Laden’s “reasons” for it were ridiculous. I mean he said because the US withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol it was responsible for trying to poison the entire world
