Ugh these people suck so bad. On average, western leftists are worse than useless. Some bullet points are kinda interesting, even if annoying.

I thought it was tankies that didn't have any room for nuance, but now we're in a black and white world where whatever the state department says about Xi Jinping is true? Okiedokie. Fantastic nuance. I'm gonna assume any critique of the hasbara propaganda information about hamas is likewise badevil?

This is a good point.

I bet the venn diagram of anti-cuba and pro-israel people is practically a circle.

Yeah it's one of my main issues with people that love to talk of nuance. It's the same people that go "they even" gasp hushed whisper "support hamas struggle against the IOF"

I don't get it.

People fighting a genocide will always get my support regardless of any of their other positions because genocide supercedes all other priorities.

All they do when they behave this way is make it clear that they think there are situations in which genocide is a good thing that they support. That genocide isn't always the naturally worst thing.

maybe-later-honey the world isn't so black and white you can't just say genocide bad
maybe-later-kiddo Don't you know it's more nuanced than that? We have to support genocide, otherwise an election in another country will go a different way than I want it to.
