      a reflection of nonce island rather than of himself.

      More a reflection of what happens when basically every media outlet in a country is out to bury you. Still very close in the first election even with sabotage from his own party and full media hostility.

          Don't forget the head of the actual military coming on national telly to speak against you and say you're a threat to the nation. Something that's supposedly meant to not happen.

        Okay am going to say it, I’m losing sympathy for people who fall for propaganda. I get “we live in a society” made up of smarter than average apes or whatever, but the existence of people like us indicates that this shit ain’t fool proof, you CAN fucking see through it. And the propaganda is getting more and more blatant and people are falling for it harder. I’m at the point now that I’m like “I got over falling for this shit years ago and I ain’t no genius, wtf is these peoples excuse? If they keep falling for this shit I guess they can go lay in the fucking bed they made for themselves, enjoy getting fucked over on healthcare you dumbfucks.”

      He’s WAY better on imperialism than most Succs. I won’t say he’s perfect but he’s pretty consistently spoken against US and NATO saber rattling and even said positive to things about a few AES states.

      I think Jezza is a "true leftist" or gets honorary status or something. The man has so many good takes.

        Even if you think you're ideologically several degrees to his left, he's actually spent his whole life championing left causes. By default he's better than all of us.

          Also very true. Praxis is always more important than ideology.
