    i actually do fuck with anti-imperialism and i fuck with it heavy! i also am deeply sympathetic to the yemeni plight under the imperialist west.

    that DOESN’T mean i have to condone hasan restreaming and clapping and laughing along to houthis, the vast majority of whose civilian victims have been yemeni.

    no full-throated condemnation is required! i am happy with a continuous gradual distancing.

    i care about human rights and stemming pragmatically from this i care about electability. go back in my history and you’ll find that this is my first post about piker, and the reason for that has entirely to do with el-sayed being threatened.

    yeah i’ve watched that whole stream when it aired, my opinion was honestly bolstered.

    i even skipped ahead today to 4:27:50 where my above complaint is “addressed” and nothing was “debunked”; he just compared Saudi Arabia to ISIS which is absolutely a valid argument but does not excuse restreaming Houthi propaganda. neither American nor Israeli nor Saudi nor Houthi propaganda should be treated with such frivolity.

    plenty of leftists like me observe the output of harmful political and social figures. for example i keep regular tabs on andrew tate, bill mahr, candace owens, tim pool, ben shapiro, john fetterman, graham platner (formerly) and even/especially the president and the entirety of the AIPAC-funded congress.

    i don’t know what to say other than you’re blowing things way out of proportion.

    i can’t decide, but i can advocate, which is what i’m doing

    the guy who restream videos of houthi pirates landing a helicopter on a ship and taking the crew hostage while cheering them on like he’s watching football does not represent me as a leftist and i advocate for other leftists to consider why i would think that.

    with peace and love you literally admitted elsewhere in this thread you’re from turkey and have no leftists or leftist groups to point usa voters towards.

    we’re like two months out from the general election and, whatever your criticisms of el-sayed, his MAGA oponent is 100x as bad. your all caps beratings are both unseemly and far too late because right now we’re focusing on protecting our neighbors from the dictator putting us in concentration camps.

    girl it’s not his existence i have a problem with its the things he says

    and if it’s a leftist requirement to parrot the things he says I don’t want to be a leftist anymore and me and my leftist progressive homies fighting for basic human rights gotta pick a new name
