This person isn’t engaging in good faith - they present as though they have engaged with a wide range of sources, but they extremely clearly have not (if the blatant whattaboutism didn’t tip you off already). They don’t source the controversial claims, either.

My positions are real… Cultural genocide is bad, and we should stop it from happening if we can
Is the thing in France happening? Probably not, but if it was I’d want it to stop
That’s the benefit of having real beliefs. When they start dancing around and mudding the waters, you can ignore all that and assert your beliefs proudly
Unfortunately, it also works if you believe in bad things, but luckily tankies (can’t believe they’re self admitted, that’s so rare) have to pretend they believe in good things
