So calling out Oliver for not talking about capitalism is being media illiterate? lol

128

All this person did was post a basic criticism of Oliver and now everyone is undeservedly dunking on them for it.

I don't know why JT from Second Thought continues to associate himself with these people.

Ran across this video, I initially thought it was a quote from Mao or one of the Kim’s, but when she said that the opposite of capitalism wasn’t socialism or communism, that’s when the alarm bells started going off. Are bourgeois feminists STILL pushing the whole “socialism is for old white men” thing?

Wendy Carlos on this track

A favorite sound-painting track of ours, Stanley also liked it, so much so that of all our preliminary music, this is the only cue he ever used. That was for the film’s teaser/trailer, which came out exactly one year before we were summoned to London to commence work in earnest. The sounds are Rachel’s versatile vocals with percussive and brassy synthesizer lines, all quite melodramatic.

My 2 questions are:

Is the attached picture true?

And

What was the deal with what happened to the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee and the Night of the Murdered Poets?

I don’t understand how anyone can take a person like this seriously.

Ocasio-Cortez did not directly call Israel’s military action a genocide during a “Meet the Press” interview in late January as she sidestepped a question about whether using the term was going overboard.

“Some of your colleagues have accused the president of supporting genocide, including Rashida Tlaib. Do you agree with that word, genocide, that the president’s been supporting a genocide, or does that go too far?” host Kristen Welker asked her during the interview.

Ocasio-Cortez replied that the young people throughout the country were “appalled at the violence and the indiscriminate loss of life.” She cited a recent United Nations’ International Court of Justice decision that stated Israel has a responsibility to prevent a genocide.

“They are still determining whether it’s a genocide. Do you think that term is responsible given it’s still under investigation?” Welker pressed.

“I believe that they are. They’re still determining it. But in the interim ruling, the fact that they said there’s a responsibility to prevent it, the fact that this word is even in play, the fact that this word is even in our discourse, I think, demonstrates the mass inhumanity that Gazans are facing,” the congresswoman replied.

Brace told people it was a bit before the footage dropped. They dedicated two entire episodes to talking about Shen Yun, so there actually was context beforehand.

I love that the latest struggle session is about an anti-Marxist social democrat on a predominantly ML and anarchist site. Like I said before, all the dude does is write good articles sometimes. He's not worth dying on a hill over. lol

[-] Walk_On@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago

Yes, a man who hates Marx and Marxism is the most "vindicated" man alive. Dude writes articles that are sometimes good, that's it. lol

No surprise, dude's a huge fan of Truman.

Wait, why did he take down so many of his old videos?

YouTube took them down mysteriously. Hakim has been trying to get them back, but it seems since he remade one of his older videos, it must not be going well.

Critical support for TC69. It sounds like she made some mistakes while going through a rough patch. While I think alienating members of c/neurodiverse was a bad move, it seems like some people in this thread have an ax to grind and are using the opportunity bash her. I think she did a lot of good for the site and things would be very different if she didn't step in.

He made a video called "The First World 'Left' Will Never Matter Again - The Hard Truth You Need to Hear", which is NOT a very good video. He told people in first world countries to move abroad instead of staying and trying to change material conditions.

Also in the comments of the video, he downplayed what is happening with Cop City as “sitting in a forest in Atlanta” and said “No one outside the us should waste any energy on thinking about them. They sure don’t think about us.” when someone asked for international solidarity regarding it.

Dude won't even join an org.
