Maybe this deserves its own post but I'll just put it here, it is one of his replies in that thread
Still thinking about how the people of Ukraine are simultaneously teenagers being sent to die (by me) and filthy Nazis who deserve it anyway. So much mental gymnastics to avoid the most basic moral questions, like "who is invading who"
I mean, would it be better if the teenage soldiers commanded by the Nazis went on to continue to commit the same crimes?
There is literaly nothing inconsistent about the Ukrainian population being victims of the Nazis part of the Ukrainian population because as it turns out the Ukrainian nazis literally got into power through a coup, what the fuck is a maidan anyway right?
But anyway the most obvious and offending part of this shit post is imagine the date is April 1945 and you are suddenly worried and pearl clutching if the Nazi government, the SS and Hitler really deserve to be exterminated, I mean it is not like there was an SS Panzer division literally made of mostly teenagers anyway right?
History began in 2022 has a different meaning here.
History started in February 2022. Context is Russian propaganda.
Red Brownwald is a loser himself but the only cowards I see here are Breadtube celebs who mindlessly go along with the official narrative while eagerly joining in on the propaganda hysteria and regurgitating thought-terminating cliches they heard from CNN.
Anyway I’ll wait for the Hbomberguy video where he explains why being in the SS isn’t all that bad actually.
Uh oh an another breadtuber turns out to be a lib? But my parasocial personality cult said that he was a based commie who literally does nothing wrong and is le working hero despite being a millionaire.
Insulated libs who won't ever actually have to fight in the war and supporting the war, name a better combo. Hbomb has always been disappointingly milktoast in his leftism, basically just a treat reviewer with better politics.
Like, Greenwald sucks and is definitely making big asshole equivocations here when he should just be openly pro Russia by now but I suppose he's got the facade of professionalism to maintain, foolish as it may be
HAHAHAHAHA NATO leftists keep doing NATO leftist things. They should stick to dunking on easy targets like Ben Shapiro or JustPearlyThings. Makes them look morally superior while being able to hide their horrendous foreign policy takes.
I don’t care about either government or the troops. I feel bad for people who have to actively worry about getting shot or blown up by strangers for lines on a map or profit.
I think we should be careful how vociferously we come to the defense of Greenwald. He is at best an opportunist aligned with anti imperial aims coincidentally. TERF Island is full of bad takes and I don't think our breadtube boys here are taking the most nuanced position, definitely room for criticism.
But as an assessment of Greenwald I don't think he's far off the mark. I have deep misgivings about him and don't like that he ends up saying similar things to the left right now, I think it's a potentially destructive situation for us. He's a grifting hack.
I dunno, maybe I need to kill my heroes. Are Shaun and Hbomb NAFO-ing on the rest of their media? Alice from is pretty vocally pro-Ukraine too. I still listen though. I dunno, I think a lot of these folks separate NATO from Ukraine in their minds. Maybe that's naive of them but it's the vibe I get from Alice at least.
This is why it's not simply cultural and even economic policies we need to worry about, its about our foreign policy, especially to the Global South...
