Recently found an anti-tankie instance you might like more:
Don’t ask my why but I watched an interview he did with wao mao on YouTube and that’s what he claims. Half the time he seems like he’s doing a bit, but he does claim the Taliban actually liked his videos, treated him well (i.e. he lived in similar conditions to what a Taliban soldier would get, was fed will, etc) and that he was only held for six months because of a strict policy from someone higher up the chain of command. The soldiers he interacted with, he claims, were apologetic. He also claims the last 2 months of captivity were due to the UK side of the equation fucking up paperwork or something, so he could have been free much earlier.
Also talks about his mom abusing/psychologically torturing him, which might help explain (not excuse) his brain worms.
So I can remember being peripherally aware of the fartlow saga, like I remember that she was a hardcore ‘lock necklace’ Zionist and might have said something transphobic, but anyone care to catch me up on/remind me how it all started? It’s all lore I was to busy for at the time
The expression (don’t know the origin) is “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.” Basically pointing out the historical tendency of liberals to prefer a fascist-managed capitalism if their interests are threatened or it becomes clear the liberal order won’t last (and could be replaced from the left).
I saw a profile once where this woman had put that she wanted someone “mostly progressive” or something like that, which I thought was a weird way to phrase that until I scrolled down and saw an “I have my shit together and so should you” section of her profile that mentioned she had rental properties she’d “built up” or something. Must suck wanting to meet a guy that doesn’t dehumanize you but is also okay with you sucking the juices out of people too poor to buy their own home.
