Surely the Twitch g*mers will be upset that CNN interviewed a US-designated terrorist clueless

welp looks like this is the guy the US is prepping to install as comprador

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's astounding to me that they've been able to frame a terrorist who spent over a decade working for daesh and al-Qaeda as some kind of freedom fighter.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 week ago

its fairly easy when your audience is materially interested in believing it

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Al-Qaeda operatives going back to their roots.

Should be trusted about as much as former USAmerican fascist troops becoming "communists"

Not to be trusted. Does a podcast where he talks about how oppressed veterans are constantly

[–] FunkYankkkees@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have no idea who that image refers to

[–] ColonelKataffy@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

think it's the "eyes left" podcast guy. west point grad and had that under his cover. is a pic that gets reposted here often.

also thinking of all those revolutions that succeeded without the contributions of military veterans

Name one time volunteers in an imperialist army ever sided with us. Every time it’s been conscripts or members of non-imperialist armies

[–] FunkYankkkees@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The USAmerican military is much closer to the wehrmacht than the imperial Russian army
Every last USAmerican troop is complicit in war crimes across the globe
Plus the idea of the yankee left actually doing anything useful is laughable at best

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

yankee left actually doing anything useful

The american left of yesterday (40-50+ years of yesterday), maybe. There is no left in america now, not really.

He's moved beyond it but they required her to wear a headscarf to interview him?

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

Journalists do that preemptively a lot of the time I think.

[–] MaxOS@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

whomst among us didnt go through an al-qaeda phase in middle school

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

This is not a remotely unique take, but 15 years ago I remember arguing with libs in meetings about how if you didn't tie the language of identity politics to anything you were asking for reactionaries and capitalists to use it against you.

Flash forward to this week and I've personally seen at least half a dozen articles (mostly from the same ghouls as the start of the Syrian civil war and before with Iraq) framing former Al-Qaeda & ISIS forces as 'woke'.

Absolutely cursed escalation far beyond the usual powers of lathe-of-heaven

Can anybody give more context on this? I don't know enough about this without googling to know what's going on. I did Google his name, but I don't know much else. Enlighten one of the youths about this

[–] ColonelKataffy@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

us working with ISIS-types to push for ~~regime change~~ democracy in syria again

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

And they're so shameless/desperate that there's been a substantial media effort to portray them as 'woke' for western lib consumption.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 week ago

US-state media whitewashing ISIS offsprings

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

He got the zelensky fit on

its over for syria

[–] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

Everyone have that phase after collage where they go abroad, enslave women, burn cities and chop a few heads off, to find themselves. It's great experience and you can even pad your CV a little. Western NGOs love that shit.

Unfortunately, the same people who will buy al-Julani's story bought that one about the SS a long time ago and keep 'falling for it' like it's a loony toons plan and they really do want to catch the mouse/rabbit/road-runner.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Wile E Coyote vs Road Runner energy

[–] OrganisationLeader@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

If only the SS had redesigned their logo. They would've instantly stopped being fascist like Azov.

[–] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Why does he look so much like zelensky-pain
