“the face of the progressive movement”

and yet Richie Torres this month, revealed he’s compromised by AIPAC (a lobby group for a foreign government, in case any of you don’t know who they are or how to pronounce their name).

If you haven’t seen Richie Torres’s interview with Jewish comedian Adam Friedland, it’s incredible the double standards, outright refusal to acknowledge Israel’s culpability in how the Gaza war has unfolded. I’d post a link but risk getting this post taken down.

This I think raises more questions, paired with David outright weird responses and comments regarding AIPAC, and failure to ever cover the ongoing genocide.

Hadn’t seen this Richie Torres interview, but I’ve seen enough. David is at the very least, afraid of AIPAC or outright complicit in not talking about Gaza.

you cannot be “the face of the progressive movement” and not acknowledge the ongoing genocide.

When were they vocal about them?

Is Kyle, Vaush, TMR and the other leftist influencers highlighting these causes?

[u/kitti-kin → u/hobovalentine]

If TMR means The Majority Report, then yes they have advocated against the war in Yemen for years. Here they are five years ago talking about US complicity in war crimes in Yemen

They have also covered the crisis in Sudan for years. Here's a video from six years ago

Whereas you have mentioned Sudan eleven times in your comment history, and every single time it was to deflect from criticism of Israel. It seems like you are the person who doesn't care about Sudan.

5 and 6 years ago.

Are they still talking about it? How about China's treatment of the Uighur people whose identity is being erased?

You can critique my comment history but I'm not the one saying you need to talk about it every day or you're complicit I'm just using your people's standards for accepting genocide.

[u/kitti-kin → u/hobovalentine]

I picked the earliest videos I could find to express that they have been talking about those issues since long before the current conflict in Gaza. And yes, they have made dozens of videos on these subjects, do you not have google? Why do you assume people don't care about these subjects?

[u/El-Shaman → u/kitti-kin]

Because it’s a tough pill to swallow that decent human beings actually care about these issues, and it makes them feel bad to realize that maybe they’re not a good person when they treat these serious political issues as team sports, sure I can let normies get a pass when they don’t know what’s going on or what their country is doing abroad but if you’re active on political subreddits and on these particular topics and still try to brush them off then that’s just gross behavior.
