Thiago participated in 3 different Gaza Flotilla Missions. He was on board the Madleen Gaza Freedom Flotilla and the Family Global Sumud Flotilla. He acted as a main spokesperson while on these boats.
This is disappointing that he would be friendly with Jackson Hinkle. At the start of the podcast episode, Thiago says tells Hinkle “Thank you Jackson. It’s a pleasure to be on Legitimate Targets. Thank you for your work. You do very, very important work to build a new society.”
Well… I know it’s a shock for most US citizens but most of latin american communism and radical left is VERY, DEEPLY hostile towards the USA.
I don’t know if Thiago knew about the nazbol shit but I bet he accepted based on the “death to America” part of Hinkle’s whole persona.
Hinkle isn’t hostile towards the US though. One of his main things is that he wants the US to annex Canada. He spends most of his time talking about US patriotism and promoting US nationalism. He calls his party, American Communist Party, with emphasis on US nationalism. I don’t think that Hinkle ever says “Death to America”.
Perhaps that’s the point, I guess.
Mainstream media portrays brazilian Worker’s Party as not only Left and radical even when its not. Far from it. In its good days PT works like a reasonable right-wing european party. Hinkle’s party have no meaning for brazilian politics, no US party aside the Rep and Dem have.
I’m not defending Thiago here, I couldn’t care less, but I think it’s more about miscommunication than anything else. But if he’s a prick I wouldn’t be amazed or impressed at all.
