InexplicableLunchFiend comments on H3 Podcast Crew Cuts Ties With Ethan Klein After Hila Klein Says He Has Been Having an Affair

No they didn't, they are being a reactionary. Hasan didn't "hang out with someone who visited Israel with their parents in 2009". He actively endorses Liberal Zionist politicians in the Democrat Party such as AOC, Platner and Mamdani. He had ongoing business relations and platforming of Israeli zionists for years and it only ended once the contradictions sharpened and the broader left started to give a shit about Palestine instead of ignoring it and telling everyone to "shut up".

You are just part of a long line of squishy leftists with their fingers in their ears, just like the DNC in this photo. This is what you are doing when you scream at people to shut up and be normal

To call Mamdani a Zionist is an insane take. Please see the above “be normal” message, thanks.

He just created an "anti-semitism task force" and is sending millions of dollars of city tax payer money to outright zionist propaganda organizations. He never replaced the zionist NYPD commissioner despite all previous mayors doing this (he's MORE ZIONIST than previous NYC mayors on this issue). He backed out of his performative threats to arrest Netanyahu. He sicks the NYPD on Palestine protesters and protects synagogues that are selling Palestinian land against international law. He rode into office on anti-zionism and has completely backpedaled on every single contest. He explicitly said that he supports the right of Israel to exist, which is Liberal Zionism by definiton.

Again, your condescending Liberalism is not helping you here just making you come across as more dismissive of genocide and more arrogant. This is how genocidal apologia enters the left, via the squishy soc-dems and defending them. Every time you defend them and dismiss this stuff it moves you closer to the Israelis, it makes you a zionist.

There are things he should be held to account for and we should be pushing for him to become a better politician. Being fucking annoying online and flat out calling him a Zionist is insane. A lot of ML adjacent communities say they “critically support” (imho, terrible) regimes because they have problems but overall push the goal forward of anti imperialism. Why the fuck isn’t the same grace shown to a person?

Continues to eat your own. Soon you’ll be by yourself and hungry.

These are Liberal Zionist policies. I'm criticizing him, to "hold him to account" and you are trying to get him out of it by deflecting without argument other than "be normal" Liberal condescension. If he should be held to account, get on the fucking correct side of the line and criticize him instead of defend him.

we should be pushing for him to become a better politician.

We can push the democrats left!!! You have to be an actual baby who did not experience 2016 to present to believe this lie for the umpteenth time. Same shit as Bernie, AOC, Fetternman, etc. Eternal circles that you will eternally justify and defend. Even if this were true though, you are doing the opposite of "pushing Mamdani left" by standing between the left and him and trying to defend him and deflect the left's critiques. You are literally pushing him right, alongside all the forces of capital dragging him right. You are the ratchet in the the ratchet effect, preventing any leftward movement.

Being fucking annoying online and flat out calling him a Zionist is insane

Oh did you get annoyed that a politician was correctly labeled by the policies he enacts? So sorry for you that you had to be annoyed by being reminded this guy took material actions with his power to kill Palestinians and cover up the illegal sale of their land. It's like actions don't matter to you at all, only images and posturing. You are a dog who only responds to tone.

Mamdani is not mine nor have I ever supported him. I do not support Democrats. I'm a communist, not a Liberal or "DeMoCrAtIC sOcIaLiSt". No politician who is part of the fascistic Democrat Party is on the side of the international proletariat. He will become more and more hated, centrist and powerless as time goes on, I will not tie my reputation to him.

The difference between critical support for anti-imperialist nations is that they are actually opposing the US empire, and therefore the zionist coalition. With money and guns and spies they are inflicting damage to the American empire. What is Mamdani doing to weaken the American empire? What has he done to harm the zionists? Social Fascists in the core are rainbow imperialists, they actually aid the empire by giving it ideological cover and pinkwashing it without changing any of the actual power dynamics and material conflict. The AOCs and Bernies and Mamdanis of the world make America stronger, more capable of warmongering and destruction.
