And before anybody puts this into the comments, because I know there will be some people who do, this is not a political statement. This is just a human one. I'm not here to take sides of one political party over the other. I am only here to acknowledge what's happening right in front of my fucking face.
I get that he's just trying to not get banned on YouTube and lose his audience, but my brother in christ, this is a political statement. Acknowledging the brutal repression of a state and speaking sympathetically of the people fighting against that system is a left-wing stance.
