Wu: I got into the progressive movement over a decade ago
Jesus christ. This pisses me off because this person has done nothing but shit all over everything and hasn't even been in this movement for very long. Like, I think I am only a little younger than Wu and I have been kicking around since 2004.
Like, I'm not trying to gatekeep here. It's just that this person smells like a grifter to me.
@2:27
Charges of the left being anti-semetic, man fuck off.
5:00 Konst talking about bots
5:30 Konst is mad about people calling her NATO
6:15 Wu jumps in and agrees that Konst was treated unfairly by people online.
Ugh. Kill me
7:40
okay finally De La Cruz gets a chance to talk and finally talks some sense about how the Democratic party is the one who silences leftists and progressives. Excellent stuff.
12:17 Wu basically accuses the anti-zionist stances as being a smokescreen, or a way to hide their anti-semitism
honestly I think I'm just going to skip the parts where Konst or Wu talk and just focus on De La Cruz
The moment she accused the actual left of 'antisemitism' and tried to erase the line that separates actual Jews from genocidal zionists was the exact moment I remembered why I hated that waterbearing grifter. She a sheepdog just like Bernie, it fundamentally fucking SICKENS me that these people call themselves 'progressive'.
That woman just wants to be a democrat. You can literally see-- the NANOSECOND it gets brought up that Israel is a settler-colonial abomination, EVERY TIME the genocide gets called out, Wu literally rolls her eyes, zero fucking discipline or even an ATTEMPT to act like she's not a settler; and I'm just sitting here like "you fucking cracker."
She's such a settler; she even starts waxing poetic at 50:00 about how good Amerika is and how "progressives have to exile this anti-Amerikan attitude". I can't fuckin finish this, I'm sickened by this... This... Settler-colonial fellatio. This is why I say "death to Amerika". This is why I say "death to the settler". We will get nowhere as long as we share real estate with parasites so incapable of historical self-reflection or self-awareness like this.
