Brace Belden went to Syria to fight for rojava which ended up just being a trojan horse for US occupation of Syria. I used to enjoy True Anon, until east is a podcast pointed this out. Then it got tougher to listen to.
Yeah, I remember a trueanon patreon ep where he brought on a guest that wrote the article or whatever that convinced him to go. In the comment section someone pointed out that this made him an imperialist and especially one on a weak whim and he brushed it off and got defensive.
You can tell by my comment that I was literally a paid patreon subscriber, so it’s not like I was looking for reasons to dislike the pod or whatever. There are still eps I listen to, but def not a paid subscriber. I don’t look for reasons to dismiss anyone, but sometimes that’s where things end up.

Edit, apologies: let me add the context:

war is hell pt 2
I think it comes up towards the beginning of pt 2.
Does he still hold that that action was right? That war was complicated, it would have been reasonable to have been confused at the time.
