Listening to Trash Future (great podcast) one of the hosts worked for a tv station in moscow, hearing him describe how the media and tech is used over there killed my ability to buy into the great russian threat narrative. The russian Intelligence apparatus can't even ban the telegram app.

I'd listen. it's probably the only way i could enjoy watch the West Wing. I watched 2 episodes of The Newsroom when it premiered and i was just quit because the premise was just so dumb.

An important "but" is that it also helped Trump and Alex Jones

CNN broadcasted Trump's empty podium. Trump dominated every media ecosystem across the spectrum.

It's important to realize that Trump, Infowars, and Breitbart are a natural extension of right wing ideology with all the financial support that entails. The left solely has it's power in the number of it's supporters.

AOC's statements don't make her good or bad. It's the fact that she ran a campaign with no corporate donations, the reason bad dems are bad is because they do. until this changes, anyone saying Alexandria is Cancelled is just an idiot who doesn't understand politics.

It's funny, as much as i can't stand to listen to it now I think NPR, Freakanomics in particular, is what planted the seed of anti-capitalism in me.
It's so weird they just give you all the tools for a socialist critique of capital but just back step at the end and pretends a free market with rational actors exists again.

Maybe they are hard to reach because of severe mental illness, ptsd and also being homeless?

basically: trying to think of new ways to look down on homeless people is bad, but, the MRA blog is probably less concerned with the rights and dignity of homeless people and more concerned with being mad at an academic study that includes the word "hegemonic"

True but a study is going to be cited for future law enforcement policy that will hurt a lot more people than a clickbait article. I don't think there's any point to both sidesing the the issue.

Hogan's whole brand is running maryland like a business. how do you advocate for policies that put more constraints on capital but then brag that your a capitalist? Wha- I don't... WHY? :cripes:

My dad said he heard about the book on the daily show but when i told him what it was about he was literally speechless, apparently they never even said what the plot was about during the interview. when I asked him to guess who the surprise villain was he said "it's not monica lewinsky, that would be stupid"

"you need to paint me in the worst light" and "I'm far from perfect" is kinda nauseating tbh and just the sort of things a domestic violence perpetrator would say.

granted, those tweets are from last year and there's no telling the context but if he takes that tack now he's prolly guilty.

It's true that abusers do try to minimize the extent of there ause with language like that, but it is still common in breakups to play up the worst qualities in your partner. Also it's rare for an abuser to tell their partner to leave or for them to end the relationship.

I'm not saying the accusation isn't true, but if it is it's probably not going to be the typical controlling abuser narrative.

Lindsay has shown sympathy for labor in some of her stuff, but I do get a few very occasional hints of succ in some of her videos.

What hints? I know parallels from reading into public personas and all, but from what I gather, Lindsay is pretty anti-succ, her live action beauty and the beast vid is pretty much a takedown on disney's fumbling attempts to appear woke. She's not an out and proud communist but I don't think she's just a lib either.

KM pointed out that accusations of sexual assault have historically been used by white women to tear down the black man and get him lynched, and from there somehow gets to "therefore, we should assume that any accusations made against black men are fake". along with some stuff about how the power relationship is supposedly massively stacked in favor of the white woman

I get where she's coming from, the media loves a story about a violent black man abusing white women. It's a trope that goes back to birth of a nation.

There was an episode of Citations Needed that basically broke down how Vox is fully funded by Bill Gates and it's basically a cheerleader to the gates foundation, including such articles as "Melinda Gates on why, despite everything, the world just keeps getting better". Vox is literally propaganda for global capital.

This is true. We have mistrust white people most of the time, especially when they say that they are there to help. Then again, I can’t speak for all black people, so personally, when I saw white leftists putting their bodies on the line to protect minorities, I felt inclined more inclined to check out their philosophy. That and I learned more about the Black Panthers, as well.

This video from Angie Speaks about Black Liberalism and Black Radicalism and why we don’t see the latter as much anymore is pretty good:

https://youtu.be/B2GXCs_XtYY

Co-Signing that video. I had a teacher in highschool that use to show us tapes of Cornell West, but I didn't fully get the scope and history of Black Radicalism till about a year ago.

He's lying. It's that simple. He is lying about this. He's a liar. Most politicians are.

Did you read the article? The point is to cast doubt on his stated position.

I think the problem is that the word racism incompasis so many diffrent things. Bigotry, systemic oppression, white supremacy, discrimination, slurs, profiling, stereotyping, tokenism, and cultural appropriation are all considered racism and every community interacts with these issues differently.

The fact that a cop shooting an unarmed black kid and calling weed marijuana could be both described as the same thing is kinda insane.
