I don't think stream clips that are cut to show the opposite of the opinion he was expressing are helpful, he's done plenty of actual bad shit like sexual harassment and saying slurs that we can criticize him for.

Taking someone saying, "you can come up with a hypothetical situation where [bad thing] would result in more good than harm, but it's still bad because of x, y, and z reasons." And cutting it to them saying "[bad thing] would result in more good than harm" just gives people ground to defend him.

I call him out as a sex pest in other comments.

Also, CIA intervention has pretty much never made anything better. Afghanistan was actually doing pretty well before the CIA militarized them against the communists.
