  1. Unignored you for a second to see what you had to say. My mistake. You cyring about propaganda is wild and funny. I don't like RT. And w/o digging into those particular thought pieces I don't even know that they are russia propaganda. Or just since they're not pro-US RT felt like they should carry them. Also note I said I find myself agreeing w/her current writing and the opinion pieces I posted weren't from RT. Also, nothing in those thoughts are "Russian propgadanda" you tool. Side thought--it is interesting how much russia propaganda is cared about here while Israeli propaganda is loved. Ditto multinational corpaganda. Back to ignore you go. You are never worth it, you disengenous war mongering state department stooge. Edit: Oh looky, she addresses you already: "I myself am accused of being a peddler of Russian propaganda many times per day, and have been for years. This despite my hardly ever consuming Russian media, never receiving a penny from Russia, and never having worked for the Russian government or any other government at any time. Russian media have at times chosen of their own initiative to amplify my work since I have a standing invitation for anyone to do so, but I’m literally just an Australian woman writing her opinions online with her American husband. I only qualify as “Russian propaganda” because I disagree with US foreign policy." Which is who you (and a lot of blue) are anyway these days. Fuck, I must be a Russian bot myself. Need to go collect some funds. Oh
  2. This is more or less what appears to have been happening, and it actually started several years ago. During the 2016 Trump campaign a bunch of neoconservative warmongers switched from defending George W Bush as a saint and decrying Obama as an Ayatollah lover, and began pivoting to endorse Hillary Clinton instead. After Trump won, this coalition between Democrats and Bush-era neocons grew even stronger with the creation of new Democratic think tank projects led by Iraq-raping neocons like Bill Kristol. So now we’re seeing two warmongering oligarchic parties shoving the Overton window of acceptable opinion as far in the direction of imperialism, militarism and tyranny as possible under the leadership of some of the very worst people alive. By doing this they ensure that these matters are never on the ballot, and that elections are always about issues the powerful are completely indifferent toward like abortion and trans rights instead. Progressives who want healthcare and a ceasefire in Gaza are being dismissed and ignored while alliances are being made with the world’s most blood-soaked imperialists. Things have been shoved so far to the right that this election is now a showdown between the Trump Party against the Cheney Party, and no matter who wins, the empire wins. A lot of fuss will probably be made about election-rigging after the results are announced in November, with the loser declaring that the results are the result of Russian interference or Deep State vote tampering depending on who that loser happens to be. But remember this: the worst election rigging is happening right out in the open, to ensure that oligarchs and empire managers are happy with either outcome. I wouldn't call it Cheney's party like she does. But there's a reason all these warhawk neocons are comfortable endorsing her (like many did Clinton).
  3. Catilyn could or could not be the dreaded left wing 'grifter' so many worry about. But lately I find myself agreeing with her writings. Her and Chris Hedges of course. You Don't Get To Vote On Any Of Your Government's Most Consequential Actions https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/you-dont-get-to-vote-on-any-of-your
  4. ^^^^ I'm sure Biden will be just as upset as he was over the American hostage who died.
  5. Sure. I was kind of rude there. Sorry. But no sorries for Cheney. Edit: and I still think the most virulent maga don't care about neocons whatsoever.
  6. We maybe disagree on a war criminal's support being the flex it is being made out to be. Edit: Sorry. That's not fair of me. I get what you're saying. But Maga and necons don't get along anyway, and only us oldsters remember him apparently.
  7. If I ever get the opportunity to point at Dick Cheney it will be with two middle fingers while yelling obscenities.
  8. Oh lol. A man who did his best to destory multiple countries, including ours. Suddenly he has a concious and cares? OK.
  9. DIck Cheney is the monstrous war criminal of our times who in any just society would have had his head chopped off by now. If Kissinger had been capable of blushing Cheney would have made it happen. But it is humorous seeing all the old neoncons tossing their fits at the logical result of their policies coming back to bite their control in the form of the orange baboon. Lincoln Project another example.
  10. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/green-party-will-not-appear-on-nevada-presidential-ballot-state-supreme-court-rules Ah yes, but that's the party that is "saving Democracy." lolz.
  11. Like me, apparently The Guardian only recently learned who Tim Pool is. Kind of lulzy.
  12. Not all the time, and not this time, but sometimes I think "he might have a point here and maybe isn't just trolling." But then you use the 'leftist' label and I tend to toss all those thoughts out the window . I promise you, 99.9% of the posters on this board are absolutely not leftists. Trust me, I'm a leftist.
  13. I had no idea who this douchnozzle was until he fucked with skateboarders.* I'm glad you posted this clip because up till now I wondered what does Russia get out of some asshole with a horrible speaking cadence whining about the woke leftists? I also wondered how is it so easy to say nothing for hours but fill it with hateful nonsensical invective and get rich? Guess now I know. Man, I'd say some shit for a few million myself if I'm being honest. So many suckers. *this takedown by GiftedHater is a fun way (guitly pleasure) to spend some time here and there (its an hour long, so didn't watch all at once) and how I learned about Mr. Pool. Still can't believe TP has anything beyond a few hundred followers. So annoying regardless of what he's speed mumbling about. GiftedHater is heavy on saracasm if you're not familiar with him.
  14. Only tangentially related but there sure quite a few Palestinian hostages as well these days. And they're being tortured and there's no real talk of why or of release. yes
  15. The thing is, it isn't as easy imo as just Netanyahu is evil. You can find all kinds of evil quotes and ideas through out government positions in Israel. google searches, reddit, e.t.c. And the big Israeli protest recently was for the right to rape Palestinian prisoners. The settlers raiding homes have been doing this for decades now. It isn't netanyahu personally sniping children. Or sniping protestors in the past. Sure there is absolutely some dissent about the actions of the Israeli government within Israel right now. Most noticably many of the families of hostages who quite undertand that the actions being taken really have nothing to do with freeing hostages. But something about being a colonizing ethnostate goes beyond just one party or leader within that place.
  16. "The school’s updated code of student conduct, announced earlier this month, classifies criticism of Zionism as a violation of the university’s antidiscrimination policies."
  17. US voters don't care about comparisons to peer nations. And spoiled is sure an interesting way to put things. I do think there is a spoiled class but maybe not the one you're discussing. I'm also not sure I'm far apart from you though. The issue is indeed late stage capitalism. No good answers there unfortunately that I can see. And again not specific to Biden (nor countered by any candidate) so I should shut up.
  18. Thanks for the kindness Sorry, I haven't been let go as of yet. but the rumor mill is heavy and i have seen a lot get hit. all the companies i listed (and the one I work for) are pretty mature. ima is correct in that the tech industry isn't everybody, but my point was that people who are feeling pain are not idiots to feel that pain. and the broader point is GDP growth and stock market values and low wage job creation isn't 'the economy' for the working class. outside of political forums people don't care about how the economy is doing for the wealthy. before i get lambasted again, let me say i'm not blaming Biden for any of it. Just wouldn't use 'economy is great' as a talking point imo. would go more towards the "i feel your pain" message if it were me.
  19. Not in the tech industry. Ask me how I know. https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/topstories/tech-layoffs-continue-big-tech-companies-like-apple-microsoft-fired-hundreds-of-employees-in-august-2024/ar-AA1pHeAW
  20. "working tirelessly for a ceasfire." sure.
