      Nah, there’s a clip of his dog tripping on something and yelping while his hand was in a weird spot and people love to dog pile on him.

      It doesn’t help that he has the worst PR instincts when crises happen.

      I’m not a fan, but think he’s a net positive. He clearly excuses abuses by China, but also does useful analysis of current events in a historical context with actual analysis usually. It’s not like his community is an echo chamber either, they’re constantly shitting on him and calling him out of things, but as a whole they stick around, listen and get more involved with progressive causes.
