He's part of the Turning Point ______ grifting gravy train, it's probably one of the buzzwords he's contractually obligated to use. Seriously, their president has this bizarre way of formatting his tweets:
https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1270044990639501325
and when he hires people from other right-wing booster networks,a lot of them suddenly shift to that formatting as well, I think they have an internal stylebook or something.

quote:

Following a few questions and misconceptions on the man himself, I thought I'd reiterate a few of them to balance things out a bit.

The grand old man of Conservative politics, Winston Churchill has been revered for telling Britain to buck up and keep going under the bombing raids of the Luftwaffe. But outside this reasonably useful propaganda work, there's a less widely-known part of dear old Winston's personal history which is often glossed over.

The colston statue was built and commissioned by his slavish, bootlicking, followers nearly 200 years after his death because his image was completely shattered by the abolition act in 1833. That statue was built nearly 60 years later in uh, 1895, when the anchor society tried to basically whitewash colstons history by erecting a statue stating how great he was, because he set up a bunch of charities which essentially did nothing but lobby for slavery, lmao.

It's not a historical statue of note, it's a PR stunt by his goons and racists to try and cover up his slavery links. It's like the confederate statues put up 200 years after the confederecy.

There's a pretty massive difference between posting his tweets in a thread full of left-wingers on a dead internet forum to call him a prick, and letting him go on the telly or the radio or whatever to offer his terrible opinions on things he has no possible expertise in (as far as I can tell, solely on the basis that he was the only guy under 50 that leave.eu could find to spout brexit poo poo who could remember not to use ethnic slurs)

I don't think anyone here is likely to be won over by the poundland charlie shapiros spicy takes about antifa supersoldiers

Darren Grimes' success is a real sore spot for me. The left has...Owen Jones I guess? And Owen seems like a fairly Correct guy, but one who had to put in an arseload of work writing books and writing for the Guardian back when it was just poo poo and not full on self-parody. Grimes got dark-monied to his position and exists and a profound example of the power structures in this country.

He's not aristocracy, he hasn't gained his position through loving a dead pig in a death cult at Cambridge, he was simply the face that some powerful people wanted in the media, so he is. Our fourth estate is so utterly broken that this kid is given an uncritical seat on news programs all the time.

I tend to agree for Weetman and other complete nobodies (although I am definitely guilty of it), but I'm pretty sure Grimes is still being booked on the BBC semi-regularly so he's not just some random moron on twitter (just a moron, on twitter). Like Brendan O'Neill or someone.

Owen Jones is probably the single most leftist voice in the mainstream media, which is utterly terrifying.

Even the likes of Ash Sarkar or Aaron bastani are only really invited on in occasional guest slots, and more radical leftist voices like AAV are just relegated to facebook shares and stuff.

The loving state of the media in this country.
