    1.) No it’s not out of context

    2.) If he was joking, it still reflects his actual political positions (China is vying for hegemony to replace the US, sex trafficking can be cool and good and normal)

    3.) You people have spent years insisting that the country providing all the support to the resistance & its main geopolitical allies should be slathered with the most unhinged criticism which can be drawn from Western sources, while the content creators aggregating alternative media drivel to you must be entirely immune from all criticism of their beliefs or consequences from promoting crypto-Zionist Azov whitewashing rapists

    4.) You should already know this, and I’m going back to sleep

      The context does matter. Even from 42 seconds of it (which is still out of context, since it shows nothing of what lead to him saying that), it syncs up almost exactly with the guesswork analysis I wrote.

      What in the world even is this. I included criticism of Hasan in my post, pointing out that he’s probably falling for the “China is also imperialist” narrative. This paragraph is itself unhinged criticism of others, completely divorced from what I actually said.

        Wow the chauvinist statement he made aligned perfectly with the chauvinist excuses and narrative you imagined for him? Wow, shocking

          Why did you respond to me 3 different times to say variations on the same thing? All you show is that you’re the one who is obsessed with streamer personalities, while you write nonsense putting me in a box of caring about this way more than I ever have. My whole thing is just accurately assessing what people are, instead of doing shitty proclamations that trivialize what they are. It’s an important part of anti-imperialism and hey, look at that, it’s very relevant in this fucking thread of all things. A thread about Iran, who is far from a socialist utopia, but still deserves support for their anti-imperialist contributions in the region and for their basic efforts in self-determination and not being destroyed by the zionist colonizer. Perspective matters and so does context, and it will continue to no matter how much you browbeat.
