get that OUT of my face posted:

what we call a "journalist" today is more akin to someone who regularly and aggressively whores themselves out for political and professional access. i blame the post-watergate journalism boom. from the start, the people trying to be the next Woodward and Bernstein came from the Ivy League, and as newsrooms started dying out at the end of the '80s as a result of an oversaturated market, it only got worse

our situation today is roughly equivalent to the era of "yellow journalism" where stories and coverage were strictly determined by the owners of the outlet and journalists were mostly mercenaries who would write whatever for whomever for a paycheck. the twitter jornos who complain about leftists wanting to silence free speech have their stories killed for being too politically sensitive all the time, they just don't usually talk about it because of "professional ethics"

If you're protesting against any kind of extradition law with China, under any form or circumstance, because you want independence from "communist courts" then that effectively means independence from China. Hong Kong looks like it's following the same pattern as other protests like Maidan, where collaborators of one country's colonial interests just end up being replaced in favor of a different set of colonial interests. Except Ukraine was a nominally sovereign country to start with, and if Hong Kong takes a path towards independence it won't survive on its own as a city-state, even if only as a de facto one.

Obviously independence isn't a proclaimed demand of the protests, but it does look like that's where things are ultimately headed.

i appreciate the cop fighting and all but the hong kong protests seem to be engineered by the rich and powerful to protect themselves from extradition and foreign governments who want a piece of the city for themselves???????

the problem with these people isnt neccessarily that freaking out the working class isnt a good goal, its just they dont realize that the working class looks more like hellclowns and shirtless guys with prison tats than it does like middle class brooklynite professionals. when people looking like that come around you know someone is either going to try to get you into a cult, reposess your house, or take your kids

That’s not even true either. According to the Old Testament, Israel had to beg God to let them have a king because Philistine’s god let them have a king and if we’re the only ones who don’t have one the other tribes are going to make fun of us and He begrudgingly gives in like an overworked parent who’s tired of fighting and figures that if He takes them to McDonalds they’ll at least shut up for a few minutes.

its so hilariously transparent that the only reason seinfeld is so mad about "callout culture" (rich white guys getting held to the same standards as everyone else for once) is because he's terrified that one day society is going to collectively wake up and remember he hosed a high school girl at 38
