I understand what you’re getting at here and while I think there is a noble goal there, there is a myriad of issues with that particular hope.

Pushing most of those aside, do you think these Zionism-supporting American Christian Evangelicals are browsing [email protected] looking for world-view changing articles and information? Do you think even a single Zionism-supporting American Christian Evangelical will ever see that post?

Dude… what??

How about you explain what benefit it has to progressive politics to laud Tucker’s position against America arming Israel?

That is correct, but Tucker spends time, effort and money promoting proponents of similar goals in American media. My point is not “Tucker Carlson is just as bad as Hitler”, but that fascists and nationalists may spout ostensibly progressive ideals but they do not have progressive goals.

Furthermore, it’s dangerous to ignore that fact and promote the snippets of their ideology that align with progressive ideals because it normalizes and gives power to their platform, which may align with you in this one small instance, but is pitted against you when looked at as a whole.

Adolf Hitler supported social welfare, an ostensibly progressive idea, but only for people he deemed worthy.

This did not make him a progressive nor would those programs be appropriate to share in a community about progressive politics were they contemporary.

Tucker might oppose military aid to Israel, but his ideology isn’t anticolonialism, it’s nationalist. He isn’t opposed to colonialism, he’s lamenting resources being sent overseas when they could be used to promote nationalist goals in America. His ideology similarly shouldn’t be in any community for the promotion of progressive politcs.

If you bristle at the idea of referencing Adolf Hitler, you can find similar examples throughout the history of fascism. Even if a fascist seems to align with goals ostensibly for the benefit of the masses, their goals are perverse and this alignment is specifically meant to manipulate uncritically thinking people into supporting their twisted views.

Yeah that community hosts weird shit from time to time.

That poster in particular I think gets caught up in promoting some nasty stuff while trying to take a very hardline anti-imperialist stance. I think it’s a sort of “broken clocks” attitude, but that ends up promoting people like Tucker Carlson or posting straight up antisemitic shit (no, not anti-Zionist, yes, there’s a difference, I don’t wanna do this whole shtick rn, I mean content that is bigoted against Jews as a whole, not just anti-Israel).

It’s exhausting to see, because that’s exactly how these Nazi extremists justify themselves and normalize their attitudes within different communities and they’re falling for it.
