He's British so that tracks, shame when Joe from Lions Lead by Donkeys also has dumb politics, but he's an outright anarchist, so that's to be expected.

HELL SERPENT
Lipstick Apathy
https://washingtonbabylon.com/which-side-are-you-on-the-answer-is-clear-for-todays-useful-idiots-for-the-right/

quote:

What’s Left? a podcast hosted by prolific Twitter troll, paralegal and amphetamine connoisseur Aimee Laba, better known as Aimee Terese. She is perhaps the most enthusiastic disseminator of the PMC canard and other crypto-Claremont propaganda.

She’s also a head case. When she’s not reflexively defending Neo-Nazis engaged in anti-PC demonstrations in her native Australia (she deleted that tweet) she’s dunking on the libs, accusing everyone of being a secret Democrat and refashioning conservative talking points with ultraleft gibberish. She also uncritically platforms conservative think tank figures like Manhattan Institute fellow Oren Cass, who, friend to the working man that he is, wants to cut overtime rates and bar public sector unions from supporting and donating to political campaigns. Despite her professed advocacy on behalf of the real working class against the wily PMC, Laba, occasionally gives the game away:

Personnel wise, you need loyal footsoldiers to make populist campaign work, but you also need hungry/class traitors in upper echelons of movement [sic]. The difference between Sanders & Corbyn in 16/17 vs 19/20 is their upper echelons now too well entrenched professionally [sic]. On the ground the working class people doing the grunt work/canvassing etc they’re loyal in both cases. But if the pmc layer will be fine professionally regardless of electoral outcome, they’re worse than useless (unless you have a legit vanguard of hardcore class traitors).

This quote betrays her genuine contempt for the working class. In her imagination, she’s in charge and the hoi polloi are the boots on the ground doing the “grunt work.” It’s all very understandable when you stop to consider that Laba grew up in Sydney’s posh North Shore. She attended Loreto Kirribilli, one of Sydney’s most exclusive and expensive private schools, where students are inculcated with a “born to rule” mentality. She’s also the daughter of a wealthy Lebanese émigré, which makes her contempt for working people quite a bit easier to understand.

https://washingtonbabylon.com/aimee...d-girl-and-boy/

quote:

Several days ago we exposed a corner of the internet inhabited by odious trolls, sketchy “independent” journalists and dilettante, third-positionist hipster douchebags all with dodgy connections to conservative think tanks. Now that the story has had some time to settle, they’re up in arms and asking to speak to the manager.

In true “Karen” fashion Aimee Laba went over my head to speak directly with Ken Silverstein in a hysterical exchange that almost made me pity her. Then I remembered that she’s a racist.

Out of courtesy to Laba and to extend the olive branch, we will not publish that unhinged exchange. But we have a few more things to say about her. First, I suspected she would play the victim and turn her background into some “immigrant success story”. Perhaps her father did come over with nothing. It’s possible. I’m sure it was just like that scene in The Godfather Part 2 where the haggard, yet determined immigrants longingly gaze at the Statue of Liberty for the first time. (Only this time it’s the Sydney Opera House.)

For the record, there are people from wealthy backgrounds with progressive views who don’t abandon them or become toxic right-wing trolls, but whether or not she is stinking rich or well-to-do petit bourgeois is immaterial. She is not what she represents herself to be. The private school she attended is in the same suburb where the Australian prime minister resides.

I can only guess that it takes some serious cash to live there, yet that won’t stop her from cosplaying as a soot-covered, overall bedecked proletarian. She’s a proven liar so anything she says must be taken with a metric ton of salt.

There are a lot of other signifiers of wealth I could have mentioned in Monday’s piece and there’s a lot more that we can mention in the future, but I just want to make it clear that we don’t really care about Aimee. She’s small-time and a has-been. We’re more interested in how propaganda works and we’re much more interested in going after the big fish like Glenn Greenwald. Just for fun, though, here’s a clip from a post-election seven-hour stream she did. Yes, seven-hours, where among other things she talks about how her brother lost a couple thousand dollars betting on a Trump victory per her instructions. Where I come from most people don’t have a couple grand to flush down the toilet like that. So, I’m sticking to my original hunch that they’re a bunch of loaded Lebanese wiping their asses with dollar bills.

oh for sure - the reason why I only cherry-picked those sections is because the author goes off on just about everyone else in online that they seem to have a beef with, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Christman, whatever, but Aimee Terese deserves no mercy even when the slander comes from unscrupulous sources

Funny stuff that on the topic of platforming, the washington babylon decided to have Paula Schmitt on to attack GG. Her main argument is that the intercept revelations had no embarassing information about Lula and the left, and as such must have been selectively leaked because odds are that there would have been something there that would be bad for Lula. So apparently because the people out to get lula and selectively leaking to hurt him didn't keep some bad news for Lula hidden, the reports must be biased.

Most recently, this Paula Schmitt has been on a tear defending the Bolsonaro's government decision to push choloriquine to treat covid rather than buying vaccines.

Bad: Mild bemoaning of "tumblr refugees" despite the fact that tumblr is being filled again and is way more chill, Cracked did do the "The American LGBT community is too unfair to Israel" poo poo years before media commodified such language.

Good: Interviewer getting Felix to spin that around and admit that those crowds are way, way less likely to buy their propaganda and that they're a bit more wise to stuff like this than he gives credit for.
