this dude does everything he can to pretend he isnt a privileged australian living in another country but wants to say trans people are faking something lol

im not saying he’s all bad but he’s got some dumb ass takes. i wonder if he even believes some of this stuff or just wants to be edgy or whatever

why would somebody the most rights (a white male) fake being not only a woman, but specifically a trans woman, meaning they get even less rights than cis women?

    I remember his "advice" for hassan was that he needs to move from the us into a global south country to do what...? Lessen his "white guilt" by being an airbnb leech in mexico city or something.

    If Hasan feels a legitimate fear for his safety maybe it would be justifiable, feels like people kind of forgot Assange and Snowden, the US will not stop going after their enemies.

    But otoh being a permanent highly visible tourist anywhere else isn't exactly running away from the CIA either so I'm not sure that would even help.

    Off topic, but I recently learned that Hasan considers Assange to be a worthless fascist. yikes-1yikes-3

    Edit: Mea culpa

    The whole thing is so old now I'm guessing he definitely contracted TYT brainworms while it was happening and never managed to change. If you go back far enough being pro-Assange wasn't ever a consensus, I think it was only after his health etc got realy rough for him that his image changed.

    Honestly, I still don't have much of a take on assanage at this point. Not everyone has taken the time to learn the facts on that topic.

    He has caused more embarrassment and shame for the US empire than perhaps anyone else in the past two decades. For that he's suffered the most extreme and coordinated persecution and character assassination. He's never done anything wrong that I'm aware of. The sexual assault case against him turned out to be just as fabricated as the allegations made at our old Hexbear admin.

    It's as you described; he called Assange supporters people who hang out with weird fascists. I may have put some words in his mouth, but I still don't like the take.

    The person he was responding to just asked him to speak about Assange. If I ask someone out of the blue for their opinion about Marx and they tell me to shut up and go hang out with weirdos, I would interpret them as anti-Marxist.

    Assange deserves full support—more support than "he shouldn't be in prison" IMO.

    I have seen that guy's terrible antisemitic rant, actually. I don't endorse him. He was the only source for the video that I could find.

    Is he connected to the ACP, or does he just talk like them?

    Wait, really? I don't keep up on him but that seems an odd take
