I'm not concerned about my "look" I just want him to go away. Enough of the thread quotes and responds to him that putting him on ignore is worthless. I want him loving banned from the thread, he has done nothing but hinder discussion for this entire thread.

JC, you're going to pull some "calm centrist" bullshit here with "Well, I would think an echo chamber could stand some dissenting opinions!" and act all in a huff, but we all know who you are at this point. Go the gently caress away, you sealion. Go hire a poor to suck your cock with the 6 figure salary you must be pulling down.

Media personalities such as FOX News aren't as important to hold accountable as politicians themselves, but they influence people, as shown by FOX News influencing our current president. It's important to talk about when they're being disingenuous or reprehensible.

Eli Lake and Michael Weiss having continued success and prestige are, in a way, far better proof of the sickness of the 'establishment' than Trump's elections. They are like smaller-scale David Brookses, hopping from side to side to stitch together a meaner, more warlike status-quo.

That they get to pass as 'moderates' would be weird if their usefulness to a system that thrives on apathy wasn't so transparent.

Holy gently caress. I thought it was going to be some sort of satirical piece in the vein of Jonathan Swift, but instead he claims that antifa are Stalinist/fascists because, uh, the Spanish Civil War or something. :psyduck:

"To get a sense of the depravity of that political moment, read George Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia," a brilliant memoir of his time fighting in the Spanish civil war. Spoiler alert: The socialists and the fascists fighting for Spain were both authoritarians. Antifa today is the heir not to the Western allies who fought the Nazis, but rather the Soviets who bled them out on the eastern front. After the Third Reich fell, the red army turned the Eastern European states in its dominion into vassals. "Antifa" is a misnomer. It's more like "also-fa.""

This is amazing.

Naturally, his real complaint about fascism is that it's authoritarian and not that it's innately racist and devoted to creating a permanent underclass, that's too long looking in the mirror.

I guess it is possible to believe that 'antifa is bad, just like the fascists' if you just watch/read biased sources. But with 15 minutes looking into what is happening out there, being a 'both sides' rear end in a top hat is inexcusable.

:agreed:

also, here's an article about the disgusting usage of prison slave labor to fight fires (at $1/hr when prisoners are fighting fires)

quote:

‘Any fire you go on statewide, whether it be small or large, the inmate hand crews make up anywhere from 50 to 80 percent of the total fire personnel,’’ says Lt. Keith Radey, the commander who is in charge of a camp where women train.

...

‘‘I think one important question to ask is, if these people are safe to be out and about and carrying axes and chain saws, maybe they didn’t need to be in prison in the first place.’’

apparently inmate crews are only given weeks of training as opposed to their civilian counterparts that have 3 year apprenticeships. california also likes to tout this as rehabilitation, but california fire departments refuse to hire felons...

So I don't mean to turn this thread into a record of every single bad thing done by a member of the Democratic party or an archive of twitter randos, but in light of the stance he took with antifa I feel it's worth noting that Trevor Noah, in front of a primarily white South African audience, endorsed and celebrated extreme state violence against striking South African miners. He is up there just relishing thoughts of openly murdering labor at the bad end of a rifle, and if he were some nobody without a spotlight it would remain gross and evil but practically inconsequential. Instead he has a show on comedy central, bemoaning property damage and worshiping wealth in an attempt to retain control of the narrative away from the left.

So he's like your generic Democrat but with some additional overt evil mixed in jesus christ that laughter.

Ardennes
May 12, 2002
Granted, it wasn't even just violence, but he was endorsing using live ammo because "tear gas never ended a strike." He just keeps on going on as well, "police pointing guns at the strikers was all the warning they needed."

At the end of the day, a decision was made between TDS, Comedy Central, and its parent company to hire that guy and if anything it speaks more about that corporate culture than even Noah himself.

If anything that video seems like an unintentional warning.

I look forward to seeing people like Condiv spend the next 4 years posting about lovely black comedians and then vote for a neoliberal.

And why are you guys having a collective meltdown about Trevor Noah. He's not American and doesn't have the right to vote here. Start a petition to get him deported if you feel so strongly about it.

Accelerationism is dumb and bad and so are you.

If you're going to insist on treating voting as some kind of dumb grand moral statement instead of merely a strategic action that represents the literal bare minimum of civic engagement that says "I'm helping," choosing to use your statement to say "lol I'm going to intentionally vote for fascists to troll neoliberals, consequences for minorities and the poor be damned" means you're a tool.
