-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Lmao he literally liked Elon must/Anti DEI/anti woke slop. How far backwards do you need to bend over to keep this guy on a pedestal?
Have I been unclear? I would keep him on a pedestal if he were completely brainwormed and firmly right wing. We'll find out in media appearances or court questioning. And even if he is, I will keep him on a pedestal.
The action is still good and useful and beneficial to us. No matter who does it, they're harming the ruling class, harming the US state, causing fear among the bourgeoisie and propelling class consciousness forwards.
fuck off?
You'll support Iran but you won't support someone that targeted and killed a member of the ruling class because they have some brainworms?
If it spawns a range of further similar events it's well worth it.
There is not a limit provided the right targets are hit.
Everyone on this site critically supporting Iran, Assad, Russia, etc etc is supporting far worse than a right winger who targets the ruling class for exactly the right reasons that are beneficial to the working class.
You're looking for reasons to drop him instead of focusing on the important aspects of class war - Does this benefit our side in the class war? If the answer is yes, then support should be given. Just as is done with anti-imperialist war.
Thought you were one of the others. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.
In anti-imperialism we ask ourselves the central question: Does this benefit imperialism or does this benefit anti-imperialism in the world?
If the answer is imperialism, we oppose it, and vice versa for the other, even in cases where they may be religious fundamentalists that do incredibly bad awful things like current Iran.
In class war our attitude should be the same: Does this benefit the working class or does this benefit the bourgeoisie?
If the answer is the working class we should support it, regardless of the issues with the person carrying it out.
A lot of people aren't taking "class war" seriously enough.
You make me uncomfortable
All of this is your head canon
I think it's gross to so publicly cope away this person's blatantly problematic beliefs making others uncomfortable so you can land a percieved win for socialism and then when someone plainly says "you make me uncomfortable" in a direct response to you soapboxing, you act like you've been viscously attacked.
And I'm the unserious one 🙃
Stop talking to me.
You'll support Iran but you won't support someone that targeted and killed a member of the ruling class because they have some brainworms?

Why is your situation different to the situation of Iranian women or queer people?
You are targeted yes. I understand and agree with that (me too btw). So are they by the Iranian government. And yet you support Iran who murder and oppress millions under an anti-imperialist position but won't support someone that says the word woke despite their actions being actively good for the cause and side we're on and that supporting them might lead to more of the same?
These principles are not consistent.
I'm not american.
"You may as well ask me to fight for the soul of this soulless nation next to a fucking klansman" yeah, that's what a lot of Iranians say also say when I talk to them too. In fact, I've seen this statement from an Iranian verbatim before.
I'm personally not gonna defend this guy's shifty opinions I just genuinely don't believe it was him.
Why can't we all just laugh at his now infamous bit instead of weirdo takes. Tbh though the more stuff I see the more I'm starting to think patsy.
