I haven't heard anything about this so I'm not sure about this claim unless anyone is able to link credible evidence
And remember that politics is a spectrum and has its own faction
Remember that we are all human amd we should be working together for a common cause to remove bigotry, intolerance and those who preach intolerance from the world and we should be working towards transitioning away from the exploitative system of capitalism
Sure. How many examples do you want? Just from Lemmy, or are articles from Left-wing magazines alright too? Twitter and Reddit are low-hanging fruit, so we can exclude them.
Twitter and Reddit are low handing fruit, but Lemmy isn't? Lol...
Anyways, yes, I'd be interested in some left-wing magazines that aren't just a tankie/"America bad, Russia good" outlet. Maybe 3 different sources if you have that many?
Other way around - the left-wing magazines (actual magazines, not Kbin communities) I'm talking about praising the Houthis very much are "America Bad Russia Good" types.
Can you just provide some sources so we have context as to what you are talking about?

Bonus non-puff pieces, providing an outside (if hostile) look at the ongoing process of the Houthi 'rehabilitation' in some circles:
