Thoughts on GDF's new video? (youtube.com)

GDF argues that Zionist lobbying e.g. AIPAC is the main historical reason for US support of Israel, and not Israel's usefulness to the US as a military base.

He bases his argument on the influence of the Israel lobby forcing the Nixon, Johnson, and Clinton administrations to prioritize Zionism over American and US capitalist goals.

Hexbear is full of these types. A lot of left leaning spaces, lib, radlib or even the myriad flavours of ml/maoist/dengist/etc... are more forgiving of people that are closer to the heteronormative racial masculine ideal. And that is not idealist idenity BS.

Unexaminded reactionary biases did cause the failure of several socialist movements, such as the new left in 80s germany or the post ww1 american communist party.

While this is true and must always cause us to re-examine our own biases, to imply that these two creators even have the same viewers and their difference in blowback for bad opinions thus must be attributed to transphobia has a higher burden of proof than "cis energy"

Hexbear is full of these types.

Sorry, just to be clear, do you mean people with reactionary biases or people calling out reactionary biases?

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 7 months ago

With the biases. The other makes less sense in context of what I wrote.
