I was the last one to incite a debate about Hasan on this site, and this was the comment that reframed my thinking positively.

To me there is a great shift in liberal discourse. It is very acceptable to be pro Palestine. It is still not acceptable to be anti NATO. To me it is very important to deconstruct the MIC and NATO in the way that it’s been done with Israel in the past years.

Right we both agree on that, I just find it rhetorically expensive, but it depends who I am talking to and stuff. Ive had it go okay with some people, but it's been tough with others when I don't think it needed to be.

I find it tricky to navigate with personal conversations, and if I had a real audience (of tens of thousands) it would be even more difficult.
