If Trump wins it'll stop when he finally clamps down on Internet access. So like a week or two after the elections.

i am the bird posted:Ajamu Baraka. He's a human rights activist and policy dude whose agenda is mostly anti-imperialism. But, for the fun stuff, he thinks Malaysian 17 was a false flag and that the brutality of Al-Assad is western narrative People like that aren't anti-imperialist, they're anti-American imperialism. They're totally willing to support imperialism as long as it's an anti-American power. I loving hate it, it undermines the whole movement.

The Matenwa fundraising was just a normal fundraiser, the 5 figures to permaban someone was to Japanese tsunami relief. Also, the goon funding to Matenwa was enough for them to get their publishing branch off the ground which won them something like a 6+ figure grant and a major international education award. EDIT: Popular Thug Drink posted:actually the body armor fundraiser came first but that had admin support and organization, not just a bunch of idiots throwing money at a random thing Matenwa was mod/admin supported and organized too, but you're right that the body armor came first. There was also that whole Hurricane Katrina/PayPal debacle. A Fancy 400 lbs fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Aug 5, 2016 |

Considering the dude defended the hell out of domestic surveillance online when a Republican was in office and then 180d to it being evil and needing to be leaked once a Democrat came into office, it's not exactly a stretch to accuse him of using his position to play politics. Also, RT is straight up the Russian equivalent of Fars or KCNA. EDIT: BAWRLIN posted:I am in southern Missouri and have been goddamn buried in Jill Stein ads. Wow, living in Missouri and having to see Jill Stein ads, that's a double whammy of terrible.

What good intentions? As I've pointed out before, he was perfectly comfortable defending the Bush administration doing the same poo poo and spewing your standard right wing bullshit and when the party in charge switched to a slightly more left wing one, suddenly he cared. It's incredibly clear that he was a dumbass who was trying to damage the Democrats with the leaks and underestimated the consequences. So he ended up doing the right thing (mostly) for the wrong reasons.

I have a good feeling that Duckworth will beat Kirk in IL, but it might not be that much of a help because Kirk is pretty consistently the only R willing to cross the aisle on things like gun control, healthcare and appointments. One of the most difficult things about retaking the House will be seats where there are no D challengers. In my district our current R rep, the shitacular Adam Kinzinger, is running completely unopposed. If the Dems don't grow some balls and run someone next election and I'm still living here, I've considered just running myself as an independent just so people have someone else to vote for.

Which still wouldn't be true because it predates Obama's presidency as just the Islamic State in Iraq, which was created in 2006 by the merger of the core group Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad(founded in 1999) and some other al-Qaeda affiliates in Iraq.

3 of my grandparents died of complications from smoking. The fourth one didn't smoke. The reason such a huge proportion of smokers die from smoking related causes is because it's addictive and it's loving terrible for you, not some government conspiracy to fudge the numbers.

I've been listening to that Obama playlist. The few songs I haven't heard before like Me Gustas Tu are pretty good, in addition to all the great classics I already knew, but man, that lovely Edward Sharpe song really breaks up an otherwise good playlist. I managed to forget about it, thanks for ruining that Obama.

OddObserver posted:I feel I should point out that this doesn't actually connect Manafort to Russia. It's quite a bit more likely that the money was basically stolen from the Ukrainian people rather than paid for by Kremlin. Read the article, he is actually connected to deals with Putin's inner circle of oligarchs by it. quote:Among the hundreds of murky transactions these companies engaged in was an $18 million deal to sell Ukrainian cable television assets to a partnership put together by Mr. Manafort and a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, a close ally of President Vladimir V. Putin.

The money was already legally Iran's due to the international tribunal on the fallout of US-Iran relations caused by the overthrow of the Shah, correct? I don't think you can really count giving Iran money that is already theirs from a legal and moral sense a "ransom" even if we did use the timing of the payout as leverage to get the prisoners released. If anything, Iran releasing the prisoners was ransom for the money.

Like, maybe he finally does have something serious and damaging, but the DNC leak basically turned up nothing at all substantial and Assange still acted like it was the perfect smoking gun. There are still plenty of vocal Bernie or Busters who think it was the perfect smoking gun too, making GBS threads up the comment sections of any left wing page. I'm pretty sure Assange could literally fart on camera and get people calling it the evidence that will take $hillary down.

Josef bugman posted:I always thought that a lot of the weirder bits of the whole caste system (and the enforcing of it) may have come about during the East India Company/ the Raj time period? I'm not sure if the enforcing of it increased during that time period, but colorism in Indian society and the caste system long predates the Raj period. IIRC(it's not my area of specialty) it likely started with Iranian migrations into India. Since they brought the Vedic religion with them, they were typically the members of the higher castes and therefore lighter skin was associated with higher caste. Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.
