I THINK its the same color as both the dogshit color scheme as "Kamala Harris For The People" as well as the gold circle frame KHivers use in their profile pics.

Yes, its THAT dumb.

It is said that, just before the Sino-Soviet split, Nikita Khrushchev had a tense meeting with Zhou Enlai at which he told the latter that he now understood the problem. “I am the son of coal miners,” he said. “You are the descendant of feudal mandarins. We have nothing in common.” “Perhaps we do,” murmured his Chinese antagonist. “What?” blustered Khrushchev. “We are,” responded Zhou, “both traitors to our class.”

listen, if a lobbyist wants to comment on the news without having to disclose the companies paying them to do it, thats freedom of speech.

if you point out the companies that pay them to lie, why that's violence and doxxing and threats.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is being puffed up by the media and dems in power. she has little to no power except what they give her, by constantly discussing her nonsense. Dem's refuse to take any of several measures which would actually curtail her career.

This is very necessary as Biden's picks and policies have been lackluster, to actively terrible.

that's the thing though Evans isn't just some niche figure amongst the super online, he is very popular amongst ostensible leftists and as such would be a very effective propaganda delivery vehicle to erode anti-imperialist thought

and if you don't think the feds have a long and storied interest in attempting to subvert the left in the US, however weak and sad and not actually a threat to US hegemony it may be, well

Evans has a lot of batshit takes and suffers the same brainworms as every left anarchist but his body of work seems like 90% devoted to correctly painting America and the west as evil incarnate and 10% devoted to "syrian intervention is good and takies are as big a threat as the right", so I don't know, if he's an asset he's a terrible investment.

I mean it's not like American leftists need the deep state to influence them to support imperialism, they do that themselves

yes definitely, and that jacket is probably overpriced (you shouldn't need to spend that much unless you are literally in the Arctic, or have some specialty need like mountaineering)

you should buy something that is high quality, and that you plan to use for a long time. Obviously there's nothing wrong with getting a style/design that you really like, as long as you buy it for yourself, not to project on others.

don't buy something that has a giant brand name or logo prominently displayed on it

same perspective I have on furniture :p
