They’re not, but genocide is also a very American act gestures at manifest destiny. My point isn’t that entities hostile to America are good guys by default, but that so-called American values are and have always been a farce and that supporting or opposing something depending on its "American-ness’ is illogical.
Because those are what Americans think they believe in, not what they actually believe in when push comes to shove. You overthrow an American-aligned tyrant and you’re suddenly a terrorist, the wrong people wield guns and they’re suddenly taken away (see: Black Panthers) and I’d certainly like someone to tell the prison-industrial complex about the liberty stuff. Americans like to call these “American values,” but if you care at all about these values and take even a cursory look through America’s history and at its modern states, the only logical conclusion is to hate America’s guts. Therefore, being un-American or anti-American says nothing about one’s disposition towards tyranny or liberty.

How are the American-ness values of liberty, arms, and the right to overthrow tyrants “insane” or “illogical”?

Then let’s hope to end hypocrisy as well, because the publication in the source wants to oppress by disarmament.
I’ll let you know as soon as we actually overthrow our tyrants and establish liberty.
