    JT, the creator of ST, certainly has expressed various views that many find problematic, respecting Marxism-Leninism and related historic events.

    Nevertheless, the ST channel itself is curated to explain values and objectives that are largely noncontroversial in leftist circles, anti-capitalist and socialist. I feel JT deserves some acknowledgment for successfully explaining such ideas while separating some of his own more controversial leanings.

    The broad observation is that the political world is not divided between those who criticize NATO and also laud Putin, versus those with sympathies exactly the inverse. It is possible to criticize the practices and alignments of one’s own nation, without having distorted views about another.

    Views about the Russian invasion of Ukraine are too nuanced and complex that anyone’s may be reduced meaningfully to a few lines of text. It is helpful to avoid attempting clean demarcations between right versus wrong.

      Views about the Ruzzian invasion are not nuanced and complex. You either support a democratic nation that is under attack from a dictatorial fascist regime or you dont.

        No, I wouldn’t expect you to recognize nuance or complexity on any subject.

        Everyone who holds a different view from you, who emphasizes different objectives, concerns, or values, is by your description slimy and stupid.

        No one can make you engage nuance. All I can do is reiterate that the subject is broader than what may be captured in your curt generalizations.
