        Tbh, BE is a giant reactionary who has spread a lot of anti-AES propaganda in his lifetime. Also a giant transphobe. Which makes Hasan look even more pathetic when BE has a more principled stance on electoral politics and antizionism than him.

              Calling BE reactionary might be some some of the biggest cope. The whole transphobia thing is culture war nonsense from Hasan fans he’s not even anti trans and frequently defends trans people.

                Naah. This is even the consensus among actual MLs in tankie communities. He has literally done anti-AES propaganda. He also made a video on how Maduro stole the Venezuelan elections and then never provided any evidence. He is also fairly very anti-china on various instances. He has also denied the Argentina’s long-running genocide of Black Argentinians.

                And transphobia of people like BE is not a made-up accusation. A lot of great scholars in their field suffer from it (e.g. Nirm Finkelstein, Paul Cockshott etc.). BE is not even in their League.

                    Holy hell it’s the 1 tweet for a year straight. This is like watching Hasan haters bringing up “America deserved 9/11 dude”

                    BE is very supportive of trans people if he wasn’t he wouldn’t keep defending them in his videos.

                  Maduro has turned out to be a massive hack most of the actual lefties have abandoned him. The abduction theater was obviously coordinated and now Venezuela is an American neocolony. There was so much cope of Delcy Rodriguez for a while but I guess most people gave up on that.

                  If you’re talking about him criticizing China and Russia for not blocking the UNSC resolution giving Palestine to Gaza, yeah he was right about that.

                  Norman is not an exceptionally great figure on Palestine. A Liberal Zionist for most of his life and still pretty soft on rhetoric, frequently calling october 7 “atrocities”. A Liberal Zionist at best if you compare him to the rhetoric of actual Palestinians which will just voice full throated support for the heroic Al Aqsa Flood operation. BadEmpada is much better than Norman. I’d wager their influence is about equal.

                  He has also denied the Argentina’s long-running genocide of Black Argentinians.

                  Which is a fake reactionary topic as he explained quite well in his video about it. I recommend watching it if you actually believe it.

                  If there’s anything BE is completely wrong about it’s that like most leftists he adamantly refuses to admit that the US is significantly controlled by Israel instead of the other way around.

                    There was so much cope of Delcy Rodriguez for a while but I guess most people gave up on that.

                    Unfortunately, no it’s not been given up on yet. Even over the last few days, there have been struggles about it on some of the other ML instances. Apparently hexbear even has a contingent that enforces a “Delcy is the Second Coming of Lenin” line and labels you an ultra for getting upset about what happened to Venezuela. It’s wild. I hate to say anything bad about those instances where libs can see, because hexbear and grad are mostly excellent despite all the dipshit lemmitor teeth-gnashing about them. But they do sometimes get infested with terrible party lines and fall into the trap of defending bad analysis, though that’s hardly exclusive to them, as your own comments here prove.

                    BadEmpada is much better than Norman. I’d wager their influence is about equal.

                    Lol, no. Finkelstein is a world renowned published academic who has been vocal about Palestine for decades. BEmpanada is a post-breadtube left-leaning drama youtuber. They are both problematic in a few ways and have some terrible, even reactionary takes in addition to their good work, but a drama youtuber doesn’t even come close to the kind of influence Finklestein has.

                    he explained quite well in his video about it

                    Comrade, first of all you really need to get over your parasocial attachment to that guy, he’s not worth defending; what Saymaz is trying to tell you about him is correct. Secondly, I would encourage you to learn more about how US hegemony works and reassess how material your analysis of the situation really is, especially when you start repeating fascist-created ZOG positions.

                    This is next level brain-rot. BE will never achieve a 100th of Finkelstein’s research on Israel’s zionist industry. Finkelstein at least doesn’t condemn Hamas like other liberals.

                    Why are you not mentioning ‘rigged election’ allegations.
