I really worry that those who are relatively new (or just not completely seeped in) conversations a/b conflict, human rights, & imperialism in MENA/SWANA, esp. Gens Z/A who rely on social media for news, don't know these people's history. Like no, Aaron Mate is absolutely not a trustworthy journo.

I had really thought that, even though it should have happened much earlier, when Max Blumenthal went antivax, we were at least done with him being cited credulously by anyone but the very fringe but that’s obviously not the case
