As most of you know, I am from Palestine, and something I’ve been noticing recently is the coverage that a lot of brainless goofs are getting.

On the internet especially, but people shouldn’t pretend the internet is not part of our lives.

The main three people I am referring to here are Tucker Carlson, Prof Jiang, and John Kiriakou.

The least brainless here is the guy that worked for the CIA.

Who do you think is behind the coverage and visibility they are getting?

My parents have heard about those three and have seen videos.

    This shit actually makes me so mad because you have seen how many progressives shit on Iran and were calling for regime change at every chance they could get, don’t try to pretend it didn’t happen now.

      You are conflating liberals with “the left”. Just stop praising this dipshit for his cryptofascist shit. He is literally just triangulating like historic Nazis by coopting actual left positions for nefarious reasons. You do not have to hand it to him you’re just carrying water.

      He only criticizes Israel to deflect from US responsibility in this conflict.

        No, these zionist “progressives” are what is largely perceived as “the left” in greater public discourse. It doesn’t matter what we think in our little corner here – the liberals and zionists call themselves “the left”, and are perceived as “the left” by the overwhelming majority.

        If someone posted a video of mehdi hassan on here, I know you and most of the people in this community wouldn’t say anything about how he’s a piece of shit. What’s with the selective policing? They’re both pieces of shit, last time he was posted here I was the only person to call out how he’s a rabid imperialist promoting lies against Iran.

          Hypothetical

          I know you

          No you fucking don’t and I hate that fucking guy. You are just making strawmen at this point.

        You literally started attacking me because I said a ghoul was better on one position than a majority of “progressives” in the west. Instead of arguing against anything I said, you acted hostile from the jump, making false accusations of “critical support”.

          Nobody is attacking you. People take issue with you attempting to win the “Fell for It Again” award by getting sucked in by fascists who cynically parrot what look like left-wing positions.
