@neeratanden Did Obama endorse Stevens? If not, isn't the AIPAC ad pure lie? Why don't you call it so?

@WalshFreedom Hey anti-Semite, don’t blame Jews for the Israeli genocide in Gaza! 🙏🏼

@AdityaRajKaul Modi’s lapdog, shut the f up!

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@mtaibbi This is maddeningly dumb, not to mention racist! You are really triggered by a few challenging questions to a sitting Congressman among a sea of pro-Israel anti-Palestinian questions in media for last 3 years? You literally have zero journalistic sense remaining at this point!

@mtaibbi @RoKhanna Disgusting racist and ignorant POS!

If Spanberger is ahead it shows centrism wins. If she’s behind it shows you have to be centrist to win.

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@neeratanden So you were clearly wrong but did not apologize; instead tried hard to find some random AI slop to justify your lies!

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@jbarro Yes, asking for evidence is dumb idea!

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@mtaibbi Who understands economics? You, corporate-owned Democrats or corporate-owned Republicans? Why not discuss the ideas, conduct a few experiments and then see? Liberty-loving morons like you want to shut down ideas ..

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@mtaibbi Yes, it’s all virtue signaling! No one can genuinely feel horror and disgust at what’s happening because you clearly don’t.. got it!

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@mtaibbi Dude, median worker hasn’t seen much growth in their wages in last 40+ years. Almost all the growth has gone to top few %. People have higher income than other countries but even higher expenses since almost everything is private. But you just have statements without data/facts!

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@mtaibbi Hey, it’s only one of worst genocides of 21st century funded by the US and the West - may be the biggest story of last few years! Why would a liberty-loving so-called journalist try to “parrot” anything about it? Esp since his beloved President/audience was not implicated..

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@mtaibbi Yeah, you are just a good old libertarian that believes in “small govt, private enterprise and individualism”! Who cares if the majority barely survive?

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@CoreyWriting Hey liar, is that why AIPAC spent tens of millions of dollars against them - some of the biggest spending in House elections? Either stupidity or blatant lying!

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@mtaibbi Btw after Soviet Union collapse, introduction of ultra-capitalism caused halving of the Russian economy and collapse of incomes. Basically what you saw was capitalism at its worst..

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

12 million people are estimated to have been killed by economic 'shock therapy' in Russia alone.

Russia suffered the worst peacetime economic collapse of a major industrialised nation in history.

The Russian economy nearly halved.

The fall in Russian output was much worse than that caused by the Nazi invasion in the 1940s.

Russian male life expectancy fell by 6.5 years, to 57.6 - back to its mid-1950s level.

The overall fall in life expectancy was on the scale of Vietnam during all-out war in the 1960s.

The suicide and homicide rates doubled.

Real incomes collapsed by 40%.

At the time of the Soviet collapse, one in fifty Russians lived in poverty. By the end of 1998, that surged to nearly one in every five.

Full employment gave way to mass unemployment.

As healthcare funding collapsed by a third and poverty surged, disease such as diphtheria, tuberculosis and syphilis rampaged.

Russia was taken over by oligarchs, gangsters implicated in serious crimes who stole the country's resources.

Murderous conflicts in the former Soviet territory included Chechnya, where potentially hundreds of thousands were killed.

Yeltsin's contempt for democracy was underlined by his bombing of the Russian legislature - and the undemocratic farce of the 1996 election.

Putin came to power after the Russian secret services almost certainly staged apartment bombings which killed hundreds.

The invasion of Ukraine has killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Need I go on? Yes, the collapse of the Soviet Union was one of the great catastrophes of our age.

An alternative would have kept the USSR together (Baltic states aside) on a democratic basis, without ruinous shock therapy.

Notably, a Soviet-wide referendum in March 1991 overwhelmingly voted to keep the Union together (although it was boycotted by six of the fifteen republics - in the Baltic and three small republics).

@mtaibbi Also this..

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

In the latest poll, 62% of Russians support an economic system "based on state planning and distribution."

Just 24% support an economic system "based on private property and market relations."

The Soviet system wasn't a runner.

But capitalism was a catastrophe for Russia.

[Amp @ppl_over_prft]

@mtaibbi Hey dumbass, is that why Russians are still nostalgic about Soviet days?
