    I guess it's conventionally formatted, in that it's in paragraph format, but it sure spends a huge amount of time listing all the mean things people have said about the author's friend that aren't really relevant, and if it gets to actual receipt-posting it's so far down the narrative that anybody who isn't already fully on board with NJR is not likely to make it that far. Regardless, nobody here is Mao or Stalin, none of us are leading parties with influence or power in our western hellholes. Beyond that, is NJR read by anybody not on the left? Is he bringing people into the left? Does anybody take him seriously, even before the "unionization" flap? Does a left movement need run-of-the-mill western chauvinists speaking for it?

    This is a site for shitposting, and even if it were a site for organizing then NJR's influence and utility would be in doubt.

    They also declined to be interviewed for the article and never piped up to dispute the key "not actually fired" part despite continuing to tweet about the situation years after the fact.

    No kidding, the people who are mad at NJR didn't want to be interviewed by NJR's personal friend writing a defense of NJR? Damn, that's wild huh

      So you didn't even read it. No investigation, no right to speak.

        Like I said, it's a poorly written, way too long screed. Hope the NJR fan club readings of the thing go well though!

          It's OK to not read something, it's ridiculous to not read something then write several paragraph or longer comments adamantly insisting you're right about it. Do some self-crit.

            Love to read something written by somebody's friend in defense of that friend and immediately assume it's 100% correct and factual and get mad at people who exercise a little bit more discretion

              Shut the fuck up. You didn't read it, you don't get to talk about its content. I've spoonfed you some of it (and some signs it's credible) but you ignored that, too, so just shut the fuck up.
