Leftism: when MLs live in your head rent free.

(Also, i'm not linking neither their twitter account nor their reddit user because despite how dumb they are, it would be pretty pointless to do so).

      They collected 4 screencaps, all of much longer conversations cut off and without context.

      1 where he just says he's a fan of Ottoman empire history but its phrased in a way that without context you can bad faith claim he supports the Ottoman empire.

      1 where he is asked about the "Anfal genocide", where he replies that he considers it an obvious atrocity but that the label of genocide is specifically politically applied to justify the invasion of Iraq, something he literally had said to his face by American soldiers.

      1 where he is asked about the "Uighur genocide", where he just replies that framing it as a genocide is already politically biased since it assumes a genocide is 100% going on, he then goes on to say he has seen no evidence to suggest a genocide or cleansing going on and that he would prefer something like the deradicalizaton program to help Iraq, rather than either bombing the terrorist groups or just letting them roam free.

      And then finally 1 out of context youtube conversation where he explains in a recent video that he was arguing with a western leftist who told him that the Kurds were the only hope for the whole region and Hakim said that not all Kurds are epic Rojava feminists and in the rural areas they have the most reactionary practices still going on, with FGM in Iraq being essentially confined to rural Kurds. Also saying that western leftists see one picture of a female Kurdish fighter with an AK and instantly get a boner and think this is the future of all the Middle East.

      Then also without a screenshot they claim Hakim supported Saddamn when literally all he said was that he prefers a functional state that does atrocities but still maintains a functioning society, to a bombed to pieces dysfunctional state that doesnt maintain society and allows atrocities from terrorist groups who roam near freely.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHKTYiQyyYA&feature=emb_title Heres the full video where he goes through all this but the gist of it is in my comment.
