No problem comrade, if it helps I also used to like some of Caleb Maupin's anti-imperialist takes, what turned me off him was a video he did platforming a TERF and claiming it was okay because they were both against "transgender ideology" and not individual transpeople. I didn't find out about the antisemitism until later.
