Leftist Infighting

This is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" community where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Heated arguments are OK but pointless hostility is not (see instance rule 3).

Yikes, being pro-Ukraine and being anti-Zionist is just a liberal-minded combination (very bad). I never knew of a Ukrainian organization as horrible as the Zionists (I never even heard of the people you mentioned). If I do recall, he is a wealthy streamer that has a large fanbase, so it makes sense that he might be unwilling to alienate their viewers too much (supporting the Democratic Party in that way does so while also allowing him to claim "lesser evil" as a justification, though this does not work with principled communists).

Oh, and I forgot to mention he soft-supports the "Uyghur genocide" narrative. He doesn't go all the way and call it a genocide but he buys into the false claim that China tried to repress the Uyghurs and their culture. He also thinks China is too repressive on free speech, which is yet again emblematic of his liberalism. But he likes China's high speed rail, so people call him "pro-China".

I like steak, so I am pro-American... oh, I also drink dairy milk, so I am a white supremacist (obvious joke that is referring to a white-supremacist dog whistle).
