The circle is complete. Hinkle gains exposure, people who were not gonna believe Assad was innocent anyway will just shake their head and reinforce their anti communist beliefs meanwhile impressionable kids are going to look him up like they did Tate instead of actually getting into Marxism.

Everyone wants to gravitate around hinkle (haz, despite making hinkle, now laps up at his bowl!) because he has the audience and he keeps getting more popular every time one of those convenient articles comes out. There’s nothing unexplainable about it.

All according to the CIAs plan.
