Liberals don't actually understand what grift means or why it's a bad thing, and just think 'they must somehow be making money off this, why else would they disagree with me?!?'

Lightning Knight posted:Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton are pretty bog standard commie shitposters who somehow landed positions of legitimacy through RT, their podcast, etc. I think Blumenthal gets more hate than Norton because his dad is some big shot in the Clinton orbit? Anyway neither of them seems particularly offensive or douchey, or at least no more than is the norm for extremely online posters who pivot into Journalism (tm).

Fast Luck posted:That's a little too dismissive, Blumenthal's book from 2013 "Goliath" about Israel got a lot of serious attention, and Ben Norton actually started at Salon and then got fired when they decided to be more right wing. Max in particular really does good reporting, Ben more often seems to swim in his wake and do twitter dunks but he's fairly good too. I didn’t know that, that’s fair.

Rising isn't a grift, it's intended to be a trojan horse deal where Krystal serves to legitimize Saagar's weird rear end strasserism, but she's got a million times more charisma than he does so it actually does the opposite.

I don't know or care about their ultimate political objectives, but saagar's politics seem to be so boring and traditional I can't imagine all that many young people would be on board. hell I line up with his views by accident because I don't do drugs or drink and am married and all that poo poo and I still think he's a boring dweeb

personally, i think its really cool how the media was hyping up the restoration of democracy in bolivia and now all of a sudden theyve gone so quiet you can hear the dust balls rolling around and no ones even talking about bolivia, or venezuela for that matter and all the brokebrain liberals who were telling me about morales' terrible rule and violation of the constitution just change the topic nervously when asked about military police shooting protesters also, if im not mistaken, isnt there an ongoing protest in chile as well, or there was one for months last year? where pinera just sent int he carabineros to gently caress up people in a manner reminiscent of pinochetistas? that has also suffered total media blackout i think lol

Jon Ossoff (the new Georgia Senate nominee and perpetual C-SPAM punchline) is an empty suit, but I am legit curious what his full position on Venezuela currently is. https://twitter.com/ossoff/status/1099752121061265408?s=20 https://twitter.com/ossoff/status/1105219259796463622?s=20 I don't expect him to double down if he's questioned on it again, but it'd be funny if ends up being better on Latin America than many of the revolutionary cosplayers running for office now.

Jon Ossof strikes me as one of those people who really isn’t a bad person by any means, but like anybody who goes into politics without knowing what it’s like, was immediately smothered by lovely corporate consultants.
