    The “…this doesn’t justify the Russian invasion…” crap is pathetic. Of course it does, it’s literally what was used to justify it?! It’s such a shit framing.

      I get frustrated generally when people who should know better revert to christian-brain and make a faction’s moral correctness or incorrectness the be-all end-all of a conversation. Like dude, JT, you’re a communist, you know that all states unavoidably traffic in morally bad actions because of what they are, that material concerns of security and survival overrule conversations about good or bad, right or wrong. You know this, stop being naive. Or if you’re playing to your liberal viewers, stop coddling their naivete, they need to learn what anti-imperial struggle looks like.

        Seems like this is the strategy.

          He’s the opening to the lefty pipeline. He has said this is his strategy and talks more openly about his beliefs on the Deprogram podcast.
