@Gravantus Certainly not how I’d handle the situation but cows can mess you up and you have to know how to move around them and have your head on a swivel.
our yiddish homework for today is to translate this 1906 letter to the Forverts advice column from a heartbroken mom asking how to convince her son to spend less time at socialist meetings and more time planning his wedding lmao
@mildred_florsh I don’t like this guy but generally agree with the sentiment. There is a reason “fast” is a tenant in Black August. I don’t have the exactly quote but George Jackson said “ultimately the guerrilla must want less”.
@categuerrical I just listened to the episode. Again you can say what you want about what he did in Syria or the YPG generally. Also aboht him making a comfy living talking about politics. But i don’t think what he presented can be described as “Yankee mercenary work”
@categuerrical He’s certainly a grifter. But you’re implying that his show is parroting state department talking points or is directly an asset. I don’t think either of these are the case.
@basedshid Miles Davis, John Coltrane, MF DOOM, Madlib, D’Angelo, Prince, Parliament/Funkadelic, Herbie Handcock, Ahmad Jamal, Charles Mingus, OutKast. Off the top of my head. Maybe I’m too lenient with tens but i think you can make an easy argument for all these.
