    holy fuck, I haven't followed the radlib youtubers like Sam Seder in years, so now liberal war hawks are part of their crew? WTF is wrong with the US "left"?

      WTF is wrong with the US “left”?

      It's deeply infiltrated by the State Department. But if you point this fact out, you are considered divisive.

          I haven't seen any proof of that.

          Nomiki Konst and Ana Kasparian take money from the State Department, and Michael Brooks was ignorant of this fact. That is the most likely read I have on their relationship.

              If he knew they took money from the State Department, and he did not disclose that to his viewers, that would be really inappropriate.

              blanket statement like that made by anyone aren't useful. movements need to identify enemies, allies and threats and deal with them as such. Moreover media figures are not "regular people", but entertainers with their own agendas, which explains why people like Nomiki Cops flip flops so easily from neoliberal to faux left and back again as a branding exersize.
