He's not a big name he currently writes for Geopolitical Economy Report, Ben Norton's current project
Probably more specifically the News mega crowd than the general HB population
Shrugs When was the last time the YPG discourse was in the western left media zeitgeist? I mean it's not like his involvement was swept under a rug he talks about it on pod, and there's like Rolling Stones articles about it and shit. That's just one of those things where western leftists only talk about it when it's rhetorically useful in the moment. Also I think TrueAnon/Brace has more purchase with Normies than Maoists.
News mega?
Every TA fan I've meet either online or irl was a massive "tankie" (for lack of a better descriptor). The subreddit for the pod is probably more militant than HB.
You know, the News Megathread
Yeah I'm not disputing he has fans among "tankies" or MLs, just that I don't think Maoists "claim" him per se.
I wasn't really trying to single out Maoists, more just meant the whole internet culture were a part of, the "non-anarchist leftists in the imperial core who are generally pro-AES states".
