Can't tell which looks more fascist Sandro Mamukelashvili or the shirt he's wearing. The American equivalent of this shirt would be something like, "God bless White America!" I wonder if his teammates know he's a neo-Nazi.
@matthewstoller@WadeTurnbull Aren't most of these media deeply infiltrated by the CIA and military industrial complex lackeys? I think you're missing the mark here. Media is part of political class, defense industry, and military. Why it's called a complex...
@igorsushko Wow this sounds like the dumbest FSB agent ever! Pat Buchanan knew this war was coming in 1999 as did Chomsky, Kissinger, William Burns, Stephen F. Cohen, etc. All of this knowledge was made public. So everyone knew it except the FSB? Misinformation for sure.
@extortionist912 @rachel_treisman Agreed, it's actually a terrible piece of propaganda infused journalism. All she needed to do was look at the references in this well researched piece: https://t.co/m5jrKTZw6T
@CWhitney207@alltejuupptaget@aaronjmate Coup: "A sudden appropriation of leadership or power; a takeover." A democratically elected president was overthrown upon threats to his life from a right wing group shooting protesters and cops in the street. Um...a coup.
@SarcasmStardust@Winfield_24 I think we need a more robust analysis. Ten years ago I taught a class of 40 college students and none of them knew what the Cold War was. Broadly speaking, such historical gaps are a big part of the problem. Ignorance isn't always a political ideology.
@RWCombsJr2 I'm pretty sure it's just educated people who know Putin isn't a fascist. He's a Russian nationalist in a country with a soft authoritarian/oligarchic democracy. Like most Russians, Putin is fundamentally opposed to fascism b/c of WWII.
I wonder how many movement organizers could give voice to the voiceless for the $15 million #KyrieIrving is willing to give up to not get vaccinated. Rich people are such stupid activists. Yet more evidence of the rot that is capitalism.
A final word in this thread. After getting in touch with the lead researcher Hana El Sahly, the author fixed the graphic which now shows N=3261 (placebo) and N=3631 (vax) for healthcare workers. I appreciate both authors responding and resolving the error.
Arguing with vaccine skeptics is hard when @NEJM and @martjm allow tables with obvious errors or inconsistencies into their publication. In Table 4 of this study, the number of participants is wrong, significantly, without explanation. Not a good look.
At the close of the blinded phase of the mRNA-1273 vaccine trial, the efficacy in preventing #COVID19 illness was 93.2% and against severe disease was 98.2%. #IDTwitter https://t.co/ZKUYqYl2mb
Looking at the supplemental material Table S5 B, the distribution of healthcare workers was evenly split. Thanks to @martjm for pointing me to this. Table 4 must just be an unfortunate typo. https://t.co/rxOpXVM8eX
