Wasn't he also accused of being behind the Lockerbie bombing?

"supporting and being complicit in genocide isn't sufficient to be Hitler. That Hitler requires a desire to be a dictator as well."
Such a chef's kiss of smug, willful ignorance. Like, this person knows Hitler is shorthand for 'terrible person', here, and not literal. So why suddenly be overly literal and pedantic about what characterizes a "Hitler"? Oh right, because Trump wants to be dictator! Meaning the entire point could have been expressed by typing "yes Biden genocide, but no because Trump"
The absolute adorable naivete of someone who thinks the US will only export fascism if the red guy wins
I was a big fan as a teenager (militant atheist debate pervert phase), and I have to say I think he was always like this. But I think "free thinker" "politically incorrect" assbags like him generally felt more welcome among the broader left/democratic party umbrella back then, and I think it rubbed off on the audience (or at least on me back then). Wasn't he always just kind of a Clinton-democrat? Neoliberal economics, yuppie suit, but also weed is totally cool, dude
But if we're being generous, his first (only?) big controversy was saying that the 9/11 hijackers were brave. Sure, I think he was just saying that shit to be a contrarian, but it was probably the most based thing he ever said.
I saw a thread on 
praising the Macklemore Gaza song, in which he explicitly says he won't vote for Biden. Someone wrote a comment like "yeah, I won't vote for Biden either. Genocide is a dealbreaker" or something like that, and the comment had like 50 downvotes and a bunch of nerds going "what, you prefer Trump who will do genocide but on steroids??". Honestly hilarious that they were seemingly fine with the song, but the moment a "normal" had the nerve to repeat the lyrics their lib attack dog mindset kicked in.
shitfuck I fucked it up
When you prompt the AI with "human being most deserving of atomic wedgie"
a notably right-wing fascist state masking as socialist just like the Nazis did
You're doing a bit, right? Please say you're doing a bit
being "a communist but still arrogant and inventing wildly."
I feel personally attacked!
No but seriously, as someone who followed a path which was roughly militant online atheist -> lib debate fetishist -> arrogant communist with nothing but cursory knowledge, I really sympathize with having to work to not fall back into past bad habits. I often find myself furiously typing long comments, then stopping and asking "do I even know this?" or "what am I trying to achieve here?" and then deleting it in shame.
And you have a lever that changes the trolleys color from red to blue. And you would dare not to pull it?!
In fact, it could easily be argued that it would be in your best interest to do everything in your power to stop the bus
Trots make me so confused. My local trot org (most successful left org where I'm from) have very good opinions on Gaza/genocide. They also hate China with a glowing passion. Really hard to make sense of people like that.
