    Hinkle makes anti Zionism unpalatable and directly leads to the arrest of people like Mahmoud. He got retweeted twice by the state of “Israel” which each time gave him a ton of publicity.

    By making his unhinged takes (he’s outright an antisemite, ACP is doing damage control every time he tweets something lol) he associates antizionism with people like him and with antisemitism so that people won’t call themselves anti zionist and if you do, you’ll look like a nutjob.

    Hinkle worked with Tulsi Gabbard when he was younger (so 5 years ago), Gabbard being head of the psyop division in the US military or something like that (edit: she’s literally Director of National Intelligence). The info is super easy to find if you Google her name plus military but I forget the exact job title. He interviewed her last year again for some reason and never mentioned this past relationship.

    Tucker Carlson’s father, Richard, was the director of Voice of America, close to Reagan, and US ambassador to the Seychelles. He was deeply embedded in US politics at the foreign affairs level, so Tucker is more of an untouchable. And tucker is far from doing any anti imperialism, moreso the appearance of doing anti imperialism

      I guess that makes sense. So do you think the ACP are in on this, or are they just useful idiots? You said they do damage control when he tweets something that reflects particularly poorly on them (i don’t follow any of these people so i didn’t know that), would they do that if they were in on the whole grift?
