After the tiniest hiatus, the bitch is finally back with a brand-new article about the all-American Trump-branded Fascism that has been ushered into the White House. Check it out at https://t.co/2egDM04SvQ ! π₯
@Veerappoosan@DrJerroldCoe If you're asking for my political affiliation, the closest would probably be Trotskyist. Hence, the sickle and hammer, as a symbol for the internationalist proletarian revolution.
While I think this is a very reductive description of the Cold War Red Scare, and feels somewhat dismissive of the grave injustices perpetrated in its name, calling Robert Evans of all people a fed is fucking ridiculous. Some of y'all need to log tf off.
pretty wild how cold war era anti-socialism focused on like Stalinism and the threat of apocalyptic nuclear war and now that the USSR is gone we've moved to "socialism is when you don't beat disabled 4-year-olds"
@Veerappoosan Because these are just people he worked with, was essentially forced to work with in fact, and not people he sought out willingly or whose opinions he has vocally defended. There is no evidence that his relationship with these people has ever gone beyond the purely professional.
@Veerappoosan I'm not saying it's a point in his favor but yes his employment did require him to work with feds and similar ppl, so drawing the conclusion that he himself must be a fed or is somehow compromised from that fact alone seems less than sound.
@DrJerroldCoe Oh no ppl participating in a system that threatens you with starvation if you refuse to participate AND a podcaster employed by a large podcasting network??? Unheard of, counterrevolutionary, and despicable!
@Veerappoosan The only thing that's new to me is him co-working an article with a self-avowed Nazi, which I agree would be damning. Google didn't yield anything useful, so if you've got a link that'd be great.
@Veerappoosan I don't think that bellingcat are feds either; having friends who work in intelligence is just guilt by association; covering war zones on the ground requires embedding in military units; he's not ever pushed Russiagate, he's been vocally critical of it in recent episodes (1/2)
The American nation is in the worst condition I can remember in my lifetime, and our prospects for the immediate future are even worse. I am surprised and embarrassed to be a part of the first American generation to leave the country in far worse shape than it was when we first came into it. Our highway system is crumbling, our police are dishonest, our children are poor, our vaunted Social Security, once the envy of the world, has been looted and neglected and destroyed by the same gang of ignorant, greed-crazed bastards who brought us Vietnam, Afghanistan, the disastrous Gaza Strip, and ignominious defeat all over the world.
The Stock Market will never come back, our Armies will never again be Number One, and our children will drink filthy water for the rest of our lives.
The Bush family must be very proud of themselves today, but I am not. Big Darkness, soon come. Take my word for it.
I truly look forward to the EU banning Meta and X over this petty, stupid, America-brainwormed decision. The sheer fucking hubris to believe your country's childish interpretation of free speech should apply in other jurisdictions borders on the clinically delusional.
