Dear @tmorello: I love you very much but I hope you realise how offensive it is to the victims of genocide when you amplify a professional propagandist for a fascist regime that the UN has charged with the "crime of extermination".
Don& #39;t you think its ironic to be using the mouthpiece for a regime that executed 13,000 unarmed protestors at just one prison over a period of 5 years to make some point about injustice? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-38885901">https://www.bbc.com/news/worl...
We are talking about a regime that practices torture on industrial scale. How insular does one& #39;s politics have to get to start seeing a mouthpiece for such a regime as an ally? https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/12/16/syria-stories-behind-photos-killed-detainees">https://www.hrw.org/news/2015...
This is 2020, and we are still treating Julian Assange—the man who secretatly corresponded with Roger Stone, Nigel Farage and Dana Rohrbacher (not to mention the GRU), ina campaign to help Donald Trump—as a victim of injustice? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/the-secret-correspondence-between-donald-trump-jr-and-wikileaks/545738/">https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...
Here& #39;s your leftwing hero, mouthing the same anti-immigrant "great replacement" tropes that motivated the Christchurch shooter.
I think its an unfortunate consequence of the insularity of American politics, that reactionaries win leftwing admirers for their ostensible anti-establishment posture, regardless of how supportive they are of the most murderous establishments abroad.
I was curious how @tmorello came to amplify an obscure youtuber known for his reactionary politics & apologia for Syria& #39;s fascist dictatorship. The man is best known for content like this, calling AOC "a fucking bitch". He literally rages for the machine. https://twitter.com/themattdimitri/status/1289646422791303168">https://twitter.com/themattdi...
