Pretty good way of putting it, comrade! I'll definitely try to explain it along those lines next time I chat with my more liberal leaning progressives.
Yeah this is how I frame it always. There is nothing I can do to affect a change in Russian policy from the US as a broke ass communist. All I can do is organize and speak out against/try to undermine our own imperial forces. Same with when people talk about Chinese data harvesting, I give not one fuck what china has of my internet data why would they give a fuck about me? I do care about my data being in the hands of corporate black box algorithms and US federal agencies.
