    Yeah he unironically should leave the country to a place that is not part of the “western” world and even then he should consider hiring a security detail as you said.

    I fear its only going to get worse from here…

      The problem with that is western Europe, Canada, Australia and the like are just as likely to be dangerous in this regard and if one thinks he’s in danger of intelligence action then moving to some third world/global south country with less developed security and police forces makes it even easier to do something like an assassination or assault without much premeditation or risk it goes wrong and your operation gets blown like you have to work around in much of the west.

      Basically the only safe places that comes to mind would be Russia, China, Iran, Cuba but moving to any of those would immediately allow them to paint him as a foreign agent and apply even harsher propaganda and deplatforming techniques as well as probably more dangerous things like arrest warrants, sanctions, being on no-fly-list type of things.

      I don’t think they want to do anything but silence him at this point.

      I can’t claim I’ve watched any amount of his content. I find his history on women’s rights problematic to say the least (incredibly liberal-brained) but he’s unambiguously doing good work in the anti-imperialist sphere and as with Russia our bedfellows may not always be people we find beacons of morality and uprightness.

        Well, I can’t say how much active danger he’s in… but theres a huge difference between individual actors (just some angry chuds), who can mostly be deterred by a security detail, and state actors. State actors are a much more significant threat, which I don’t need to explain.

        If the main threat is from chuds, moving to a country less involved in the culture war and investing in good security could already help quite a bit.

        If we’re talking about state actors… well, I guess he could claim political asylum in China or Russia if he wants to be as safe as possible.

        EDIT : OFC Moving to a non-western country is gonna paint him as a foreign agent …but lets be real the way things are going they might fuck with him even without him moving to China.

          Well the thing is with the zionists there is no dividing line between their intelligence and their casual thugs, they literally bring their “ex”-IDF and Mossad goons to college protests and use chemical weapons on people, they send them with soccer hooligans to Amsterdam to cause trouble and inflict more damage, etc. So in their case there is little distinction where some zionist freaks end and the reach of their state begins.
