@lemmy.worldYou've got it the wrong way around. I'm talking about people that call themselves "anti-war" or "anti-imperialism" but hold positions opposed to that, specifically. The kinds of neoliberals you're talking about don't generally claim those positions to begin with, so I'm not talking about them. They aren't even offering lip service on being anti-imperialism, they're just pro-western interests and occasionally that lucks them into a somewhat correct position. There's more than one way to be a shitlib, you know.
In case it's unclear, I'm not calling you a shitlib, I'm saying that the people you're criticizing act like shitlibs (and frankly most of the time they are just shitlibs). General support of wars of defense is an anti-imperialist position
I love when "anti-war" people just end up justifying and defending someone else's war, or when "anti-imperialists" just end up justifying someone else's imperialism. Real anti-imperialists (me) think that fighting against imperialism is good, and that only offering lip service to anti-imperialism while also decrying any attempt to put it into action is shitlib behavior, actually
