    I think the titles and thumbnails are certainly clickbait to dupe ppl on the alt-right side. GDF himself is quite left and at least his recent videos are transparent about the sources he uses in the video.

      Maybe, but there’s this tendency with people who post pro Palestine stuff to be totally okay with genocides elsewhere. For example, people like Caleb Maupin and Hakim (who GDF has appeared alongside) are okay with bombing Arab people as long as it’s being done by a nominally non-imperialist autocrat

        I haven’t met any pro-palestine people who are pro-genocide, I don’t know what you’re referencing

            Yeah no clue about those two. I can say GDF does good work and isn’t pro genocide. The thumbnails and titles can be too edgy for me but the content in the video is well made.

        Caleb Maupin is a fascist. And what the hell has Hakim said that would ever support genociding other peoples?

          Anfal Genocide denial

          But I’m curious how one swings over from being more and more ML into just being a pure fascist

            Ok I honestly never heard Hakim speak on the Anfal Campaign/Massacre. But does anyone call that a genocide…? It was a brutal massacre of ethnic cleansing, that is indisputable. But I’ve never seen it called a genocide. In any case, what did Hakim say about it, that makes it “denial”?

            How is Caleb Maupin a ML at all? Not sure what you mean there. He was never “more and more ML”, he was always a fascist draped in red.
