I didn't know that Ali campaigned for Reagan. It seems strange now but if you think about the political conditions of those times, it almost makes sense. In the early 80s American ruling class seemingly allied with Muslims against communists in Afghanistan. Bin Ladin was once a 'freedom fighter' if you remember. This background I think proves that Ali's decision can be easily justified on political grounds and no medical speculations are necessary . This issue is even clearer in the case Minaj, why is supposed to be 'mentally ill' for making a political choice? Medicalizing political decisions should be avoided as much as possible. There is another categorization I take issue with: with the call for 'nuance' specifically. Obama and Ali are paired of against Minaj but that classification is simply wrong. Ali was an ally of Malcolm X who changed course like many other radicals in the conservative Eighties. Obama instead was a snake since the beginning. A case in point is his supposed standing up to Netanyahu which earned him the sympathy of Palestinians. His personal reaction to the Zionist in chief is really immaterial because Obama supported the Zionist invading forces all through his presidency and gifted them the most generous war support until Trump. Mamdani is a similar figure, son of a Columbia professor and a famous filmmaker. He won't disappoint anyone who have their eyes open, he will try to complete the mission given to him by his masters as an infiltrator and deceiver.
Presumably Minaj is re-posturing for the post-Trump era (perhaps MTG?) as Agent Orange dies a death of a thousand cuts delivered by the irrepressible rumors about a 13-year-old piranha.
So sad to see how the mighty fall and fall and fall
