Say what you will about Jimmy Dore and his catering to anti-vaxxer shit, but he is 100% right on Ukraine, and showing even U.S. military colonels know it to some degree is a good move.
Good video. Spread if you want to piss people off and shove controversial shit into lib faces...and if you're ready for all the ad hominem attacks and flame wars. LOL.
:yikes: i think dore is the same as blumenthal in that he accidentally'd his way into a few correct takes by pure contrarianism, and that is inseparable from the anti-vax problem. his epistemological process is broken
hmm haven't followed Blumenthal for a long time, but his takes on Israel and US Imperialism has been solid. I heard he went anti-vax, but that should just be a glitch?
don't have time to watch the vid, but yeah Zelensky and the whole NeoCon propped Euromaidan Ukraine government are being used by US/NATO to fight Russia. This whole Polish mig-29 fighter plane fiasco just shows neither US nor NATO countries want to get their hands dirty and confront Russia. Not my line, but the US is willing to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian, perfectly sums up how the US sees this conflict.
Nah, fuck this shit. Reactionaries and opportunists co-opting left-wing criticisms doesn't get those arguments to be considered more, in fact it's the exact opposite. Might as well post Tucker Carlson clips while you're at it.
Hmm. I've never been a huge fan of Dore—he's a fucking asshole and is otherwise problematic personally, and he's IMO probably more liberal than leftist (though I have heard him talk about workers controlling their workplaces once or twice...)—but aside from the fact that he's gone a little off into the wacko anti-vaxxer bad takes as I said, I wasn't aware he's really reactionary in terms of his politics. Like, this and his pushing (among other leftists and progressives) of "force the vote" was pretty damned good.
A lot of liberals claim he's reactionary because he attacks Democrats and thus is supposedly eMpOwEriNg FaSCisTs by discouraging people from VoTiNG BLuE nO MaTTeR WhO. I'm curious about the basis on which you call him reactionary, since I doubt it's that. Care to elaborate?
I consider him more of an opportunist than a reactionary, but he did have a boogaloo boy on his show because he's a third positionist weirdo like frankly all of those morons who were pushing "Force the Vote."
Which (other) proponents of "force the vote" do you consider to be third-positionists? Do you include Briahna Joy Gray in that? The working-class people in AOC's district who elected her on the promise that she'd do just that? Kshama Sawant and the whole Socialist Alternative party? Do you just find these folks to be morons by coincidence, or do you think there is something inherently moronic about exerting political power to force concessions and more committed stances from the Democratic establishment?
What did he slip in there about Tucker's program? This dude is such a fucking idiot.
