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
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.
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.

I’m not personally attached to the guy at all. People seem to be obsessed with smearing him though.

And this is what I mean. You say Israel has significant control over the USA and people go into “ZOG hurr antisemtism” mode because apparently Larry Ellison, Miriam Adelson and AIPAC are fictional characters from a comic book.
Because the Iran war is definitely working out incredibly well for the USA.
Maybe rather than doubling down on it, you should consider why it might be that fellow leftists always tell you you’re repeating fash tropes every time you bring up a certain topic? Don’t be the principal Skinner out of touch meme.
Edit regarding your edit: Thank you for the link, I had no idea about any of that. Though I can’t say I find it to be too surprising either. Very different situations obviously, but I can’t help but get some occupied Korea + Moonies cult ties vibes when reading that.

Btw if you want something fun I recently found out both Maduro and Delcy are part of some religion worshipping some indian dude as god https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/4/who-is-the-indian-guru-venezuelan-acting-president-delcy-rodriguez-follows
