    Haven’t watched the video, but i saw the comments and decided to find out some more about FD signifier because i have seen him be recommended in leftist-ish spaces and i think even here on hexbear.

    Quickly found out about him being zionist coded (not directly supporting it, but always criticising the pro-palistine side and faux worry about antisemitism) and equating “goy” (someone non-jewish, used as a slur apparently) and gusano with the N-word

    I guess imma stay away from him lol

      he has this american liberal idpol attitude of everything a “white” person says needing to be doubly scrutinised and hmmed at, as if palestinians care more about the wording than the fact that they’re currently being genocided

      I find him useful in describing the US black experience, but I don’t look to him outside of that. He was a lib when his show started, and has moved a little leftward since.

      I’ve been watching his videos for a while and while I’m not going to vouch for him, I’ll say that he’s just the type of guy who says a lot of shit and it’s easy to take something said out of context

      IDF Signifier

      I didn’t even watch his debate with BE but saw some clips from it. Really funny how “principled leftists” immediately go to attacking someone’s looks when they’re losing an argument. Then when BE did the same thing he pulled the race card
