That conspiracy never made sense to me. Wouldn't Al-Qaida just put him in front of a camera and say "look how stupid the US are! They didn't even kill him. Fake news." Unless he was already dead ofc.

There are so many options here. Al Qaeda is a US operation. Bin Laden is an intelligence asset, they didn't kill him, they just picked him up.

Duh, the government turned him and now the Deep State using his diabolical plotting skills to plan false flag attacks like in El Paso.

Fascists love the "environment." It's just the environment as represented by ruralist idealism. If it's not fit for cultivation then it's just a wilderness that's waiting to be tamed.
The relationship between ecology and fascism is fascinating and not generally known. The culture of Wandervogel and a lot of proto-New Age stuff formed the background for the rise of Nazi ideology, and a lot of failed agronomists with kooky theories played a role in the early party and joined the SS.

This stuff is important because it played a large role in the Nazis' economic vision. When these agronomists' plans to make Germany economically self-sufficient failed, they hardened into the viewpoint that there was no future for Germany without conquering and colonizing Eastern Europe. That's when you get people like the Strassers coming up with harebrained schemes to turn Eastern Europe into a plantation economy with a racial caste system while the central government runs heavy industry.

The role of occultism in Nazism gets overemphasized all the time, but the influence of these charlatans continued to have a great impact even after they were purged or sidelined. It's particularly interesting stuff in light of Christman's explanation of the economic model of fascism.

yea back in the 90's the hot edgy right wing statement was that Hitler was 'the first environmentalist' because fascists always pay at least lip service to 'and our lands will be pure and free of the filth the outsiders bring' in the literal as well as metaphorical senses. Like already said a lot of this was wrapped in the rural exaltation where that was the ~pure life~ ideal and all.

too much of my brain is filled with poo poo to refute loose change point by point. i think the bush years had a more deleterious effect on my brain that our big boy ever could.

also on twitter a few weeks ago got into with a bunch of vets on twitter claiming there were WMDs and that some had personally dealt with them (they were poo poo mixed in with other munitions from the iran-iraq days). i guess these people are never cured of their brain worms.

You’re right they should have called him out for his bad opinions and taken him to task. You know, the literal exact opposite what they said their goal was in the Iowa AirBnB episode.

When some lovely magazine gives Marianne Williams a platform to spew her views about how vaccines kill or whatever, you can have a debate about platforming. When Chapo does and interview when they preface it weeks earlier (and likely after) with “this guy is loving nuts you should make memes about him” it’s not the time to serious post “are they BAD for letting him espouse his views?”.
