I know it's beating a dead horse but Pedo_Troll is performative and Iran is just another example
It goes without saying that if PT wanted to do right for the causes he allegedly champions he would want to be educated and well read on the subjects but he throws around 5000 people dead when no credible source was saying that figure. In fact it was 500 when he was saying it. Today the toll goes up to 2000 from credible sources and the first place he pulls from is Bari Weiss' CBS news because it is speculating 12,000 and he wants to use it to defend his favorite ethnostate.
The big problem with trying to call out leftists who are anti-zoinist who aren't going as hard on Iran is the simple fact that WE DO NOT MATERIALLY SUPPORT IRAN. There is no way to pressure the US government to do MORE than they already are without telling the US government to go to war and no real leftist would do that. PT troll just wants to merge the goals of an ethnostate with his twisted definition of being a "leftist".
It is annoying he is teaching a sizable group (albeit a smaller and smaller one as the days go on) that being uninformed and loud is the way to be a "leftist" online. He does exactly what he claims his opponents do which is spread misinformation to sycophants so they will go online and harass people like Taylor Lorenz daily who is actually doing real work that helps leftist causes in America.
I genuinely think while PT is fairly dumb and misinformed he is also intentionally malicious in his actions and knows exactly what he is doing. A moderate right-winger who just really doesn't aesthetically like being associated with bigotry but has no problem performing it daily. He knows he is dumb and vile but he is counting on his followers being more stupid and more vile than him so he can hide behind their wall of harassment and the "Fuck Hasan" content creators are fine with being on PT's island hiding behind that harassment wall until he spends all his money and online clout.
The cracks have been showing when his own fans call out how little he really cares about ICE raids in America. Eventually he will burn through those fans and end up alienating everyone one performative stance at a time.
