Campist leftist politics is uniquely vile towards exiled communities, from Syrians to Venezuelans. The moment these groups fail to perform “correctly” in unfolding political crises, their identity is stripped away & replaced with smears.
Such accusations are so predictable at this point.

victims of colonialism can be best at weaponizing victimhood. in fact colonizers are also very good at playing victims these days.
Future historians will wonder why the victims of colonialism sided so cheaply with a white coloniser who rules 1/3 of the Asian land mass from a city in Europe.
