I tried but couldnt parse this post. Idk whos side this guy is on and i dont know whos side he thinks im on. Very confusing lol.
"Assad falling is good, because Assad is a dictator. The left should be against dictators, yet many on Twitter proclaimed that supporting the dictator was Good Leftism, Actually.
Syrians and Ukrainians should be supported by the left. Just because Assad and Russia are enemies of the capitalist West doesn't mean that they should get a free pass from the left to oppress Syrians and Ukrainians.
Palestinians should be supported by Americans. Just because Israel is a nominal ally of the US doesn't mean that they should get a free pass from Americans to oppress Palestinians.
Reject tribalism. Embrace moral consistency."
Ahh i get it. But ive never heard a single person say assad was good for the left. Probably the tankies and the us left.
"yet many on Twitter proclaimed that supporting the dictator was Good Leftism"
Well this is news.
What's there to say. Twitter's a shithole.
Unfortunately, many people still use it to communicate and organize, some of whom do not belong in said shithole.
