Okay I’m with you on the western left sucking, but am I the only one who thought the whole Graham Plantner thing was made a bigger deal than it was? Every leftist I know, myself included, had never heard of the guy until AFTER the Nazi tattoo thing came out.
I just think that for western leftists, a candidate that killed brown people for the empire should automatically be excluded from any possible endorsement, no matter how remorseful they may be.
The Nazi tattoo and Zionazi brother were for me just hilarious cases of the American leftist figures being further exposed for their clown like decision to support Platner. Both of these literally don’t even matter compared to the fact that he served the genocidal Americans empire.
The entire mainstream western left (the Bernie-wing of soc dems) all rallied behind and defended Platner. Hasan and all the breadtubers rallied behind him. Chapo downplayed criticism. Bernie himself stood up for Platner and downplayed nazism on his behalf.
The fact that nobody knew who he was until the Nazi thing came out, but many decided to double-down to protect him anyway really goes to show how much the westoids actually care about “punching a nazi” and “anti-fascism”.
There was absolutely shitshows and huge arguments over this, don’t try to retro-actively erase history that we just lived through. SO many people were downplaying it, saying that he didn’t know what it was, making arguments that being a Blackwater Merc wasn’t a dealbreaker, etc.

I’m just saying from where I was sitting it seemed like the guy appeared and disappeared after like a week.
disappeared? He’s still running and still has the backing of all the soft-left.
