Social Commentary Cry-bully propagandist Destiny disparaged the memory of Michael Brooks, a journalist & political commentator who passed away suddenly in 2020. Michael was a principled voice against apartheid & imperialism.

Hasan is a very respectable and principled person, he sets a great example for how to inform yourself and become a better political participant. I constantly learn from him and never would have heard as much discourse from the likes of great thinkers like Noam Chomsky if it wasn't for him.

When Hasan calls Hamas the good guys, Houthi rebels Luffy from one piece, I kinda beg to differ hey.

I'm only extremely critical of those two individuals, as I liked them for a bit, before I expanded my knowledge base and realised that they're just in it for themselves.

My vitriol was uncalled for, but I do think that this sub shouldn't have podcasters on it, and should stick to international news.

We are all from a diverse political spectrum, and posting individuals will only fracture the community. Keep the foundations strong, as we want what's best for everyone.

When Israel commits Genocide, the resistance/opposition to it is justified frankly. The US on the wrong side of history on this one.

Any puppet state cares not for the plight of the citizens, though I do agree with you that oppression does breed conflict of this ilk.

Saying that, I do not support any Iranian or US back state or group, only the civilians caught in the conflict.

I'll leave things there

Not liking autocracies makes me a lib... Nice leap in logic there.

Gentle reminder that Stalin committed genocide, so did Mao.... and their current state leaders today in Ukraine and with the Uyghurs.
