I was thinking more of how Assad has been previously known as the 'Lion of ~~Syria~~ Damascus'.

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lion of Damascus, not Syria

Thanks for the correction!

I feel like Assad is a good benchmark. If this site allowed critical support for Assad, it must allow critical support for Luigi. It's not like Assad wasn't problematic in a million different ways

I don't think people understand the why of "critical support" here.

When people say "critical support of Assad", they are not saying "I want to live under the Assad regime" or "I agree with Assad's politics".

They are saying there is no alternative to Assad that is capable of resisting American imperialism to the same degree AND has good politics.

Exactly, the yardstick of critical support is not "some arbitrary measure of how much ideological inconsistency and discomfort I'm willing to stomach," it is utility. Necessity makes strange bedfellows and all that.

No one said you can't have critical support. The mod statement was just reminding you that criticism is the first half of "critical" support.

Did they pick the most unflattering picture of the politician on purpose? LOL

It reminds me of this picture that I picked from some DPRK news publication:
