JRE is compelling because it feels like being 20 and sitting with your dumbass friends and getting high and saying poo poo in someone's basement and forgetting what you said like 20 minutes later and never thinking about stuff because you're playing Mario Kart now. JRE is horrific because it disseminates those dumbassed ideas to millions of people who just go :shuckyes:

No ones denying that they're on there, I'm denying that there's any semblance of parity. Is that really a controversial statement? He books and rebooks the alt-right guys more than any other political guests. He brought in Alex Jones in the middle of his downfall when no one else would touch him with a ten foot pole (and yeah I'm aware they're very old friends but that's not an excuse). He had no qualms about being included in Bari Weiss' "Intellectual Dark Web" cast of characters (at least before it was published and the rest of the internet realized his show was becoming an alt-right platform).
It sucks but the only real difference is theatricality of who he has on. You are right there is no parity but it is still more genuine exposure to leftist ideas than any MSM in America is gonna get you.

the only true leftist is the one who remains scrupulously pure, shunning political influence outside of the Approved Podcasts,, allowing the right to grow its ranks and consolidate its power unchallenged, inflicting misery on mushy centrists and disaffected non-voters alike, biding time until the catastrophic collapse of society that shall inevitably radicalize the angry mobs into ideal marxist revolutionaries and immanitize enlightened democratic socialism. anything less is loser succdem poo poo

Andy blocks people that point out video evidence contradictory to his footage and Owens is so far out that she's been dunked on by Rogan.

Ben's easily the most annoying.

I feel like Rogan is like two epiphanies shy of full-blown automated gay space communism, but then I remember that his whole schtick is that he's a gullible yes-man.

Which is a shame, since a lot of people listen to him and that would objectively make the world a better place.

I don't think we have enough evidence to say it was that one particular cop, but it was definitely a bad actor. That same guy was filmed earlier spraypainting "We want free stuff!" on some walls and was extremely beligerent with other protesters. If he wasn't a cop, then he was some fash trying to start poo poo.

There's precedent for cops infiltrating protests and sometimes inciting riots, going back decades. The first I remeber hearing about them was at the G7 protest back in 2001 but I'm sure it's been going on since way before that.

So even with what’s happening in Minneapolis I got curious about what happened with the FISA bill in the House (it was pulled), so I searched Twitter.
I found out that Qanon accounts are calling the events in Minneapolis a Soros false flag to distract from Trump revealing FISA abuse against Micheal Flynn.

an interesting post from the 'zzone about how the alt-right is changing tactics in light of minneapolis, although it goes slightly further back, with neo-nazis showing up at (and getting kick out of) anti-war demos earlier this year after the killing of qassem soleimani:

I think the other stuff in the post is worth mentioning too... important info for all to consider

quote:

So far in the alt media there is an overwhelming concentration on the flashy aspects of the Twin Cities uprising that started on Tuesday. It makes sense, the rocks being thrown, protesters being hit in the head with rubber bullets, boog boy fascists with AK-47s, and burning buildings are much more in line with our media culture than the long, slow, and grinding work of committed and dedicated communists on the ground doing thankless tasks. I hope to illuminate some of this background information for people so you can begin to apply these same tactics and bring this information into your communities to create solidarity actions like we've seen all across the us.

The story of the twin cities uprising began much earlier with the murder of Jamar Clark in 2015. Jamar Clark was a black man murdered by the police, most likely on the ground while handcuffed. Protests were organized by BLM and this was the birth of TCC4J, who has been truly at the heart of mobilizing this movement and doing the grunt work. Intermittent protests went on for months, with the end result being that no charges would be filed. This was the birth of a mass org, TCC4J (Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar). Since the birth of TCC4J, there have been dozens of black men killed by the twin cities police. Protests and community work have been done for each one including the celebration of birthdays for the killed each year, bringing in national speakers to the university to talk about racism and police repression, events on the days they were murdered, and organizing for the prosecution of the police for months. Attendance for these events has ranged from a dozen people to thousands, all the while the organizers on the ground have been tirelessly working to build the political education of people around why mass action against the police is necessary. One of the most powerful aspects of these events is the families of the killed is the involvement of family members in the movement to bring their stories and humanize the victims.

One of the most impactful of these was the work done to organize against the murder of Philando Castile. Castile was pulled over in a routine traffic stop, he notified the police officer that he was legally concealed carrying a firearm, and within 30 seconds the police officer started shooting up the car. A video from the passenger went viral as it clearly showed that this was a police crime. There were multiple protests, community meetings, and acts of civil disobedience planned against this event by TCC4J with thousands of protesters showing up. The officer in this case at least had charges filed against him, was found not guilty, but the city of St Anthony paid 3 million as part of a civil lawsuit.

Another major spark was the movement around freeing Myon Burrell, who was jailed for life by Amy Klobuchar so she could build a "tough-on-crime" image for re-election on lovely evidence.

quote:

It is known that the MPD illegally held Myon despite requests for his mother and legal representation. It is well known that Klobuchar chose to use an unreliable jailhouse informant to convict Myon, ignoring statements of two other suspects that Myon was not present.

After the Minnesota Supreme Court overturned Myon’s conviction based upon flawed, missing and false evidence, Klobuchar chose to try Myon again, because she was unwilling to lose a “victory” in her fight on crime. After Klobuchar became a senator, it was Mike Freeman who oversaw Myon’s second case, which found a conviction based upon Freeman knowingly using the same flawed evidence and a biased judge.

During what was supposed to be Amy's last public appearance of her campaign, TCC4J and other activists took over the stage and sound system and protested for hours, forcing Amy to cancel the event.

On the national scale, there is organizing being done with the National Alliance Against Racist and Police Repression, a rebirth of a movement from the 70s to free political prisoners and organize for community control of the police. Last year, there was a foundational conference with almost 1,000 attendees who have been working to build up similar organizations in their communities. There is a national day of protest called by NAARPR for this Saturday, so check to see if you have anything going on locally: https://naarpr.org/updates/cities-join-the-call-for-national-day-of-protest/

Even the riots going country-wide won’t give them the doomsday apocalypse scenario they have been craving. They will be told to stay home by police most of the time, life won’t get too disruptive besides Minneapolis and Tim Pool’s doomsday nacho packs will still sit in the back of the closet
