Just, report @wasbappin for advocating genocide and violence.
His tweets are already coming down, it's time to take out the account itself.
Whatever the real story behind it, it's used to make it impossible to talk about how 1) Assad commits genocide, & 2) war isn't the answer.

I was blessedly unaware of the existence of the pro-Assad left until recently, and (rightfully) disgusted to find out about it.
I made that disgust known, and who pops into my mentions but this dude, agreeing with my critique and appearing (key word, appearing) normal.

That's what he does, you're like "uh wait, genocide is bad" and he finds you immediately and is like "why yes, here are some measured thoughts," and if you're new to the discourse you engage.
And now you've very publicly engaged and the guy basically declares you his new best friend and that's when someone DMs you to say "sooooo dude wants to intern American leftists, nuke Russia, and launch a U.S. land invasion of Syria."
Meanwhile, the Assadists are thrilled, because by just a few minutes' unknowing association with the dude, they have "evidence" you're just as wildly violent and imperialist as he is, and they use it to demolish your crediblity on the whole "uh, genocide is bad" thing.
Let's be clear.
Assad is not a leftist, he is a monster who gasses his own people and happily allows Russia to ravage his country as a way of waging proxy war against the US.
There should be zero space in the left for people cheering genocide. No quarter for that shit.

At the same time, the US is committing genocide right here right now and doesn't exactly have a stellar track record when it comes to Middle East intervention.
More broadly, rich white countries invading poor brown countries almost always leads to tragedy, not salvation.

The fact that the US left has *any* tolerance for a group of people stanning Assad is a huge problem that needs to be addressed militantly, but we can't do it when this asshole manages to butt in and make himself the headline of every discussion.
He derails needed conversation by demanding almost comedically far right-style solutions to the Assadists-within-the-left issue, like fucking leftist internment camps.
Every "don't stan a genocidal prick" conversation becomes "is [critic] bappin? They're bappin."

I don't really care who's behind the account, whether it's a controlled opposition thing or a sincere whackjob.
Either way, it ends up materially helping Assad by making critique of his support within the left a subject of ridicule.

His shit is violent and extreme, and it's also a violation of Twitter's terms of service.
He's now putting out suggested blacklists of leftists of all stripes (many of whom hate each other), I guess trying to pitch a purge.
It is no good.

He's also outed leftist critics and leaked their personal info to the Nazi-adjacent (and Nazi-inclusive) crowd on r/stupidpol, which is just straight up dangerous and needs to be named and addressed.
Whether deliberate or just whackadoo, this shit is dangerous and makes it absolutely impossible to have the needed conversation of "'leftists' who stan genocidal regimes need to gtfo, now." 
So, report
Report
Report
And don't forget to *also* report the account itself for advocating violence against a group of people.
And frankly, if they believe their own shit, dirtbag "leftists" should be pushing this same report campaign.
They've already made it clear they're fine doing report campaigns against people they don't like.
TrueAnon ran one against me, ffs.

For all the "but Aimee's freeze speech" whining they do, they also obviously have zero issue reporting when it comes down to it.
They spend all day every day saying time and time again that they think the guy is a problem, so this is a money-where-their-mouth-is moment.

We'll see what happens.
We'll see who truly sees this guy as a problem and can be bothered to do something about it, and who just likes using him as an excuse to avoid talking about why Assad is a POS and deserves zero support from the US left (or anyone).

Pay attention.
Because anyone who loves to whinge about "oh they're bappin" but can't be bothered to actually help get the dude offline and out of the conversation?
They don't get to pull that shit anymore.

They don't get to do zero to address the problem of his presence online and simultaneously act like he gives them a free pass to act like genocide is funny and like all Assad's leftist critics are down to nuke Russia.
That cute game ends today.

So, figure out whether you want to be part of the solution, or lose your "lol, they're bappin" card, closet Assad apologists.
The only correct take here is that both Assad and wasbappin need to be gone, yesterday.
The end.
