This sort of shit is why people call him an op.

He’ll do decent coverage sometimes, but when push comes to shove he’ll run interference for the state department and fascists.

    Didn’t he come out and call it a coup eventually though? Correct me if I’m wrong, i am not on Twitter....

    I don’t think we should be critical of skepticism when people are watching world events from the other side of the globe and having to sift through mountains of imperial propaganda constantly.

      I mean you can be willing to say there's a complexity there that you don't understand and therefor it's not worth commenting on in general. Fine, whatever. How tf though is it not clear that what happened to Morales was a textbook coup. Removed from any moral judgement on anyone involved that was very clearly a coup.

      Plus he feels comfortable enough to post and retweet protests movements all around the world constantly (thailand, belarus, hong kong, etc.).

        I mean, you’re right. So many western leftists confuse tactics for goals. They see people rebel and reflexively support it.
