The exchange:
How is it more complicated, Jill? The lady doth protest too much
???
What does "by implication" mean to Hasan?
So they're in agreement. Right?
Is Hasan trying to defend Biden and Netanyahu?
Because Jill Stein repeatedly agreed with Hasan on Putin being a war criminal. But Hasan keeps doubling back and trying to defend the American President and his Israeli ally from the accusation.
The problem is this: regarding Netanyahu she says "Well he is very clearly a war criminal." Regarding Putin she says "With Russia it's far more complicated" and "In so many words, yes." She's hedging out of calling Putin a war criminal directly so she can plausibly deny it. She will agree with general statements saying he could be a war criminal under those circumstances but she won't say it directly so she can go "Oh no, Hasan called him a war criminal, I didn't, I just agreed that if all of those things were true then he could be considered a war criminal!"
I think her point is moreso that we're actively funding and giving arms to Isreal to carry out these crimes, therefore we have more power to state things in that way from a geopolitical standpoint.
That's certainly the point she's making to avoid giving a direct answer.
Yeah, but it's a bit of a fair difference to point out I think still.
That difference doesn't mean she can't give a direct answer. She's using the English language nuances to hedge her answer and not commit to her affirmation.
But that doesn't immediately mean she's a Russian puppet either lmfao
Only ~~using~~ repeating Kremlin talking points does
Eh, have you actually heard her talk about her platform? I have, and she seems to believe in it, just seems like Lemmy has a hate boner for her lately 🤷♂️
I don't give a shit
Ok
