👀👀👀

I haven't even gotten into any real arguments recently, it's pretty obviously from that post.

    He's talking about when he went overseas to Syria and Ukraine. When you travel to do conflict journalism, the US military is there. And that's probably why he has more of a gray view on the military than we do. A soldier never protected me. He's been in a firefight. While you can criticize his inability to be more objective about that, it's not indicative of him being a fed. Once again, this game of telephone stuff. People reading without context and then making assumptions. Just like how all his detractors here are convinced he's writing all this propaganda for Bellingcat about how US imperialism is cool and good when all he's written is shit on neo-nazis. But because they heard he made a jab about the USSR once in his podcast and he said something bad about tankies on twitter, he must be ascribed with a set of attributes by those scorned. Nuance doesn't exist when you insult a ML. And you're taking him praising his coworkers about the work on white supremacy. What am I gandering?

    He got in a shit fight with Ben Norton on twitter? So what?

    Literally explaining what that tweet you pointed out meant. You should take a gander with me.

        And all of this is a diversion from you having to defend your claims about all of those other podcasts being full of spooks. Do you have anything to say about any of that, or are you just going to keep honing in on this one tweet?

        You brought up the tweets. And as I just pointed out in another post, you don't understand what I was doing this whole time. You and a select few are absolutely obsessed with Robert's twitter because that's all you have to cling to. Because working for someone is brainwashing leftists. And taking an unpaid consultant job to teach law enforcement about neonazis on the internet is working with feds to shoot protesters. And saying Assad gassed someone isn't just a wrong thing people say all the time, but it's actively and knowingly or being a useful idiot for imperial propaganda. Literally all this is said on twitter. A fucking psyop of a website in itself.

        Read the full context next time before jumping in a thread.

            Didn't you just say

            The content of BTB, even if you were to listen uncharitably, is fine 99.999999% of the time. Yes, that’s true, and it’s also irrelevant.

            So is his podcast relevant or not. A minute ago it was bellingcat that's the op, not him or his podcast. Did you just look that up? Surely you didn't.

            Also why are you editing your first posts after these latest posts? What you trying to pull?
