That’s all? I mean, there are lots of things to criticize him for (his belief in the existence of Uyghur genocide, despite skepticism in Western media, and his opposition to BayArea415, the Grayzone, etc)
But God willing, this guy is more or less likely to be an ultra-leftist Maoist than a pro-settler ‘socialist’…
I didn’t say he’s a a full-on patsoc, I said I think he may still have some patsoc brainworms, which I think ended up coloring his coverage of Xinjiang. Also, it sounds like you consider all of patriotic socialism to be as far right as Maupin & Infrared, people I see as even further to the right still: as Nazbols/crypto-fascists/MAGA Communists. But now I’m splitting hairs that probably aren’t worth splitting.
Edit to add: My understanding of patriotic socialism is any imperial core socialist who hasn’t fully embraced anti-imperialism/anticolonialism.
My understanding of patriotic socialism is more or less centered around especially settler nationalism but also right wing nationalism in general used by socialists for vulgar means of gaining followers, especially in 1st world and Eastern Bloc
He does not have any rightist brain worms to qualify for that misnomer…
Besides, he strikes me as a believer in Revolutionary Defeatism, if ye ask me (eg. Falklands video)
Even with Australia, his supposed native country , a lot of criticism hailed at its founding as a settler colonial entity and its reactionary nature
To me, just call him an ultra leftist and that’s it…
Western chauvinistic a bit, maybe… but what brings ye to say this?
I don’t recall any specific thing I could point to; perhaps something in his both-sides-ish Uyghur genocide video.

Sorry, for me
