There's so much wrong with this post it baffles me. 🧵
You're literally from Britain. You're just as western as me. It's the classic "white western leftist complains about white western leftists". Can you tell me how I was being a chauvinist westerner by pointing out that https://twitter.com/DaveKozlov/status/1390622053057896453
Hakim literally said he was a fan of the Ottoman Empire, deeply hates Kurds, supports Saddam, and denies the Anfal Genocide and Halabja Chemical Attack? What Hakim said was fascist and reactionary. The image is right there. Stop making excuses to defend your BreadTube idols.
I admit, I'm no expert on the Middle East for sure, but I've seen documentaries and learned about events there. I'm not perfect, but you certainly aren't either. Also you're pretending that you're the expert of the Middle East. You're pretending that you are
an anti-imperialist who sides with the Middle Eastern people, just because you identify as a Dengist, and side with Hakim. White Dengists are still white. I'm betting you don't know as much about the Middle East as you think you do. Just because you claim to be an
anti-imperialist, it never means you're the hero of the Global South fighting against Western hegemony. And there are loads of Middle Easterns out there who would hate Hakim's take as well. The Global South is NOT A HIVEMIND! Yet Dengists think they are the representatives of the
Global South. If anything, you think you know how the Middle East works, just because you identify as a Dengist. You probably barely did any research, even. It's just tiring to see white MLs complain about white leftists when they themselves are white.
Dengists have such a huge victim complex. Also, they'll support fascism as long as it is from the Global South, and opposes America. Hakim made fascist takes, and Dengists like you immediately went in to defend his horrible takes.
Hell, there was a few Dengists that claimed they would support the Axis even, because they were opposing America. Yeesh. Dengists are not leftists, they are neoliberals who love supporting fascists. They're very happy to support China as it gains more billionaires, and
commits a genocide against the Uyghurs. In short, you also don't know as much about the Middle East as you think, and the Global South is not a hivemind that bends to your will. I also want to post this image, it's perfect. This is just a rant at this point. End of thread.
Not really the end of thread, but I can't find the image. I'll post it when I find it.
