Celebrating Dorner is pretty wack especially considering how hard he appealed and you know, killing the daughter of his lawyer and her fiance (not cops). The cops he did kill was during shootouts and not part of some targeted, vigilante-esque move. He's also still, you know, a cop? And oooo wow he filed some paperwork after watching someone get kicked in the face what a hero
0 tears shed for the officers he killed and burning down the cottage he was in was messed up but ACAB means ALL COPS
It's... interesting to me whenever 'leftists' discuss things, typically media, and essentially say "X is good as long as you overlook Y" and that Y thing is not something I'm willing to just overlook
Piece of advice as someone who got it last year, you haven't recovered yet, be sure to keep rigorously caring for yourself and resting for like, months
Hey what's a good umbrella word that we could all use to describe our social, communal driven views? I was thinking we either pick a sense of direction or maybe a motorized military vehicle to self label with, what do y'all think?
Not at all, it becomes class reductionism if you think it will fix most/all situations for racism, bigotry etc, or if you think direct approaches to combating racism etc "don't matter" in the short term
I'm gonna keep brining it up every freaking time but that study that everyone throes around when the say this is from Columbia University and included an immediate increase to the minimum wage as part of their projection and then days later the min wage increase gets shot down but everyone kept pointing to the study as if it still holds up. Now it gets repeated as fact, and the study is basically forgotten about. Media manipulation is such a fuck but it's also almost... impressive(?) to see
If you got them all in a room it would be a good size crowd, obviously, but the stream only 15k views? Yeah in the world of the online "left" he gets decent numbers but no one knows who he is, his ideas don't shape anyone in a meaningful way or like, affect policy or possible revolution.
I still think it’s incredibly worrying that there’s a voice on the “left” that’s growing ever popular that seems to find Western Imperialism funny
Why. Honestly why? 5 minutes of CNN pretending to be the voice of the "progressive left" does more damage than this guy can ever do in his lifetime. Laugh at him if you're going to watch him, he's a horsefly hanging out in the company of lions
like, where does she say that the DNC is now “completely transformed into a working class party"
No where! Like you said, it's not even an honest quote, but when you think about how beneficial it is to have people reading about how progressive Democrats are, the WSWS article makes a lot more sense, and I'm totally expecting further articles from other outlets carving up the interview and basically writing fan fiction
Y'all can't recognize media manipulation if it walked it to you and bit you on the ass lol. Maybe try reading the actual interview and critiquing that instead of an article someone wrote about the interview lol.
Yeah, she's supportive of the Dems in the actual interview, no surprise there, but the quote in the start of the tweet isn't even hers. This probably goes out to like, the five people who read the wsws article, but incomplete quotes should set of your Sus Alarm, at least.
So many bad takes in this thread lmfao. This isn't even an "AOC good" argument it's just a "be accurate in your critiques" post
