Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

There is not a limit provided the right targets are hit.
Everyone on this site critically supporting Iran, Assad, Russia, etc etc is supporting far worse than a right winger who targets the ruling class for exactly the right reasons that are beneficial to the working class.
You're looking for reasons to drop him instead of focusing on the important aspects of class war - Does this benefit our side in the class war? If the answer is yes, then support should be given. Just as is done with anti-imperialist war.
Thought you were one of the others. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.
In anti-imperialism we ask ourselves the central question: Does this benefit imperialism or does this benefit anti-imperialism in the world?
If the answer is imperialism, we oppose it, and vice versa for the other, even in cases where they may be religious fundamentalists that do incredibly bad awful things like current Iran.
In class war our attitude should be the same: Does this benefit the working class or does this benefit the bourgeoisie?
If the answer is the working class we should support it, regardless of the issues with the person carrying it out.
A lot of people aren't taking "class war" seriously enough.
