@nightwing01 It’s not just a right wing op that centrists are falling for. Centrists, the NY Times and a cohort of dem strategists, are the central player in this smear campaign. Platner’s ex may be rw, but this story is only getting oxygen b/c dems are in on it.
@seanathon226@okhohlakeleyo There were a lot of bullshit new cycles during that campaign, but this was one of the most infuriating. Fake controversy spun up by staffers and journalists, who then milked it for a month.
@TheMightyHams@JoyceCarolOates “You can criticize Israel. We’re just gonna use a govt agency to put you on a list. And also we’re gonna access your bank acct.” fuck off.
@Mike_from_PA Except there was extemporaneous corroboration. Theres proof that she told other people, specifically her mother, at the time of the assault. That’s more proof than many other metoo accusations that NYT and the dems ran with.
@kenklippenstein I'm glad people are finally learning a lesson from Trump. Don't give an inch. Never back down, and never apologize. They're not acting in good faith, so there is no reason to even engage.
@KweenInYellow@stendhalist It’s mods and the admin. My acct got banned b/c I made a “lenders in the temple” joke in a thread about the West Bank land sales. Jesus flipping tables=encouraging violence. But you’re more than free to watch endless videos of Russians getting killed.
@seblanara@ggreenwald I mean, the ellison’s aren’t destroying corporate media though. They’re consolidating it. Pretty soon it will all be a singular Corporation Media.
@harshcritic1985@marklevinshow They know this, and that that means this is their last chance to take everything they’ve ever wanted in the region. They will not stop unless someone forces them to. They’ll annihilate the world before putting down their guns.
@TheMeefersons@barbarismcrit Lots of socialist have said and written about electoralism as PART of a strategy. You’re the one who seems to think it a mode of self-expression. Ultras stay useless. The rest of us are trying to build a working class movement, which sometimes, strategically involves voting.
@ProfDBernstein@thameskat If I were you, I’d stop associating “the Jews” with an organization that’s rabidly supporting the slaughter of countless innocents, including children and babies. But then again, I don’t think you really care about Jewish safety.
@catpotwine@hasanthehun Just the other day you called the dog rape story visceral Jew hatred and a lie. Now you’re bragging and fantasizing about it. The zionist mind knows no bottom to the depths of depravity.
@uncannyIongarms@Kroniebits Which is a product of “just let people enjoy things” Our culture has been reduced to “everything should make me feel good all the time.”
@neilworms@310toLigma@ettingermentum Especially in terms of organizational matters. Saying “It’s not my job to educate you” shuts down any legit ideological debate. “If you don’t agree w/ me you’re evil and I don’t have to explain why.”
@andersleehere@ettingermentum I don’t think it is that overstated. I saw multiple DSA chapters and organizing projects that were ripped apart by idpol infighting.
@billlwoo@MikeIsaac The first season is pretty good. Not prestige tv, but entertaining. Hardy character and performance carries though. Cutting him would’ve been a death knell.
@queersocialism@hecubian_devil There are absolutely people who show up to organizing spaces and see insane accusations of racism and bigotry leveled in unhinged ways, and those people don’t stick around. Why spend all your free time volunteering if someone is going to call you evil b/c of a recipe?
