Here's a paper on Cultural Marxism by a member of the Frankfurt School:

The Intercept is such a sad site. Nobody reads them. The comments sections used to be lively, and now it's the same 5 people posting bad takes. They had the gall to beg for donations when they're funded by a billionaire and pay salaries well above market rate for journalists.

Nah, the HKPD has a long history of using the Triads to suppress dissent going back to the 1960s and before.

The Hong Kong Triads got used against the anti-communist protesters last year. They're just tools of the pigs, no matter who they are.

What part of this is hard to understand?

Still, it represents him pretty well.

This old canard, a favourite reference of censorship apologists, needs to be retired. It’s repeatedly and inappropriately used to justify speech limitations. The phrase is a misquotation of an analogy made in 1919 Supreme Court opinion that upheld the imprisonment of three people—a newspaper editor, a pamphlet publisher and a public speaker—who argued that military conscription was wrong. The court said that anti-war speech in wartime is like “falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic,” and it justified the ban with a dubious analogy to the longstanding principle that the First Amendment doesn’t protect speech that incites people to physical violence. But the Supreme Court abandoned the logic of that case more than 50 years ago. That this trope originated as a justification for what has long since been deemed unconstitutional censorship reveals how useless it is as a measure of the limitations of rights. And yet, the crowded theatre cliché endures, as if it were some venerable legal principle.

Justice Holmes' famous quote comes in the context of a series of early 1919 Supreme Court decisions in which he endorsed government censorship of wartime dissent — dissent that is now clearly protected by subsequent First Amendment authority. Socialist Party of America chair Charles Schenck was prosecuted and imprisoned under the Espionage Act.

After Holmes' opinion in the Schenck case, the law of the United States was this: you could be convicted and sentenced to prison under the Espionage Act if you criticized the war, or conscription, in a way that "obstructed" conscription, which might mean as little as convincing people to write and march and petition against it. This is the context of the "fire in a theater" quote that people so love to brandish to justify censorship.

Oh, and notice that the court’s objection was only to "falsely shouting fire!”: if there is, in fact, a fire in a crowded theatre, please let everyone know.

They're so far right even the far right hates them.

A nest of blood-drenched neo-cons who love nothing more than bombing a new country. Genocide apologists galore. A homebrewed site that would probably be easy to inject your own (hilarious) articles into, and then override it when they delete them.

TERFs who got banned from so many sites they had to start their own.

Careful posting on all of these, though - one step out of line and they ban you. And you'd better know the last 5 years of history of their movement because they'll tell you they had that argument back in 2017 and whatever side you thought was reasonable lost, and it's the banhammer for you, sweaty.

Just like Canada!

Used to be, before the Revolution. Castro brought it to a screeching halt, closed the casinos, freed the prostitutes and spread the wealth.

May 6 was three weeks ago.

The Blue Tribe one should be running around the cemetery kicking down all the flags because those are the graves of white supremacists.

It's a good sign. It's them being bitter and angry, and lashing out. They only do things like this when they're losing.

Wow, that's asking for an invasion. "Our critical lithium supplies are under threat and we will protect them to the point of military conflict."

They did that in the Middle East with oil and it was called the Carter Doctrine.

Just so you know, the "fire in a crowded theater" argument was used to sentence an anti-war socialist to a long prison term.

And the judge who made it later regretted doing it, bigtime.

Yeah, that is the founding statement of Voltaire style liberalism.

Leftists who are critical of the left are rare as hen's teeth. You know the saying: "no friends to the right, no enemies to the left". Thus any criticism of the left from the left feels like a breath of fresh air to the right. "It's not just us!" they cry in relief. Of course, that's the whole point of that maxim, to starve them of their air supply, to deny them the social proof that gives people strength. If people are saying something and nobody else is, they'll eventually lose heart and shut up. Any leftist who criticizes the left is incredibly harmful, like Glenn Greenwald, Jimmy Dore, etc.

I learned this from NORML.org.

After WWII, DuPont had nylon, but hemp was a superior fiber. They flexed their muscles, had hemp banned, and presto, a huge market for their new product.
