I don't know if this is directed at me personally, but I don't forgive streamers, let alone follow any of them. This tendency of always having to defend the indefensible is probably one of the most annoying things in our community. Sometimes you can just let people be upset or disappointed when a bad thing happens. It doesn't automatically mean that people will drop all support. The term "critical support" exists for a reason.

Also, using the excuse of them being poor to defend an anti-imperialist leader for strengthening ties with Israel is quite something when there are poor countries out there (like Yemen and Cuba, just to name a few) who chose to stand with the oppressed over so called "geopolitical pragmatism" when dealing with a genocidal apartheid state.

It depends entirely on the implementation, & whether they have the resilience to manage foreign capital. I disagree with the moral framing of trade ties in general, so there is no excuse involved. Yemen is whole other can of chicken, of course ideally we would all be Yemen, unilaterally close off the first world to force a reorganization of the imperialist structure into something compatible & not parasitic. Yemen is struggling & the non-aligned movement is practically dead. If you disagree that foreign investment controls can be used to redirect resources from hostile nations into positive results, we can wait and see. I wouldn't justify Brazil having military ties to Israel left over from Bolsonaro, different position, different ties, I only compare them because we could do so using headline-reaction moral outrage.

No, I'm not monitoring your media consumption habits, when a post gets a lot of interaction I tend to just ignore the comments & let people fight it out, it wasn't directed at you specifically
