I feel like the antifa thing is happening again where the broader left likes to project far greater control and involvement than actually exist. A lot of BLM is really just local communities trying to raise policing standards to what you see in the most of the west while using BLM as a shorthand. They did explain in detail over hundreds of town halls, interviews and speeches what they were doing.

It's true they are not broadly any kind of marxist, but that has to do with marxist being at a stage where random people were essentially being asked to build the entire organization on faith. Of course the communities would just use liberal organizations and tactics instead.

Another one is to point out if a business owner can't keep up with inflation they are essentially asking everyone who works for them to take a pay cut with every year of experience.

Honestly what she is describing sounds like an actual problem. If you think her videos suck or whatever then that's fair, but she's describing people making shit up about her, contacting anyone who employs her to try and get her fired, trying to isolate her and also fire anyone who associates with her. Like this is some psycho cult shit.

It will never not be incredibly weird to me how much of hollywood's history people manage to memory hole despite spending so much of their lives consuming its output. Like the entire reason you have Alien is "woke" people reforming 1950s sci fi. Prior to that nobody like Sigourney Weaver was getting cast to play jack shit ie 2001 or any of the other clarke and asimov adaptations.

I'd just point out the fact that any kind of humanitarian argument falls apart when you look at the record of the US backed Afghan government. If you are already okay with Afghanistan being run by corrupt pedophiles, drug runners, war criminals and extremist then what exactly is the argument here?

You see to fight terrorism we need to leave small cells of armed men in the country to carry out various clandestine attacks in order to let people know they should fear and respect us.

They are similar at least on the level of willful blindness going on. All that really needed to be said with AOC is that this person was aiming to be a career politician since high school, actually managed to get there almost immediately after college and on top of that secured the DSA endorsement as a stranger with no organizing history.

because if he was about 10 years younger he'd be the Giuliani of covid.

Getting into art made me side eye the people who say shit like that a lot more. It made me realize humans really don't have that many eye, nose, lip, etc shapes and how much overlap there actually is between the supposedly distinct groups.
