No. No, I just got something in my eye. I’m fine.

    The existence of queer people in the general population isn’t in question, though. How that statistic is relevant to Yemen’s human right’s record is what we’re confused about.

        Sure, and that’s a good thing for them to be doing. What does that have to do with their human right’s record?

            Do you have a timestamp to the relevant portion? Because the first ten minutes do not address how the problematic support for Graham Platner is at all connected to how Yemen’s commitment to a (noble) military coalition thus excuses their human rights record.

              Understanding Graham Platners background is essential to understanding the American Surpremacy which is the topic of the video.

              If you genuinely think Yemen has a worse track record than the US after watching the full video then I can’t help you. Around 25:00 there’s a great point wich requires the prior context.

                You’re dodging the question: Why does Yemen’s involvement in this coalition excuse it’s human right’s record?

                American supremacy is an important topic, yes, but it has nothing to do with Yemen’s internal human rights record, which is the topic being discussed.

                  They are risking their lives fighting a genocide that puts them straight at the top of human rights with nothing to gain from it while everyone else is complicit and nodding along.

                    So your position is that the good someone does excuses the evil they also do. An interesting position.
