This NBA-Hong Kong-China mess is fascinating. The NBA is super woke when it comes to things like made up US transgender bathroom disputes, but bent the knee to China when Daryl Morey came out in support of democracy & upset communists. Shows you how hypocritical the league is.
It will also be fascinating if the “woke” NBA stars making tons of money from China will support Morey’s comments here and risk their overseas endorsement money and brands.
Remember, the NBA pulled its all star game from Charlotte over a transgender bathroom dispute, which was all manufactured outrage, and just bent the knee to China over actual human rights abuses. outkickthecoverage.com/nba-takes-fake…
Will outspoken NBA woke activists @SteveKerr, @KingJames & Greg Popovich stand up for Daryl Morey and his support of democracy in Hong Kong? They’re awfully outspoken about Trump. Surely they’ll condemn the NBA bending the knee to China over a GM’s support for democracy, right?
Think about this for a minute, Adam Silver banned the use of the word owner in the NBA because he said it was racially insensitive & then apologized to Chinese communists because one of his executives had the gall to say he supported democracy.

The El Paso shooter was a right wing nut job who supported Trump. The Dayton shooter was a left wing nut job who supported Bernie & Warren. While both sides are blaming each other, can’t reasonable people realize social media extremism is breaking many people in this country?
Mass shootings have skyrocketed in the country as social media has grown in popularity. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s because social media rewards extremism & convinces people that whatever opinion they have is 100% correct and the other side is 100% wrong.
Social media dehumanizes those you disagree with and allows good and evil tropes to triumph. Add in easy access to firearms and whatever side of the political aisle you’re on there’s plenty of fuel to start a fire.

This is time well spent by our elected officials. I, for one, will not rest until WNBA and NBA players are paid the exact same.
Also, the lack of understanding of basic economics by our elected officials is staggering. The only reason the WNBA exists is because the NBA subsidizes it.
Is this real life? From their letter demanding hearings for on unequal pay for women. Do these senators really not understand basic supply and demand? Or where sports salaries come from?

Fascinating detail of Mueller Report as I continue to read: many members of the media actually colluded with Russians to distribute DNC emails. The media is obsessed with idea of Russian collusion, but isn't self-aware enough to realize that THEY were the Russian secret weapon.
No one did more to advance Russian interests than the American media. Not the Democrats, not the Republicans, the media colluded with the Russians and did the dirty work for them. Then created further division by blaming politicians based on divisions they'd already created.
It's absolutely mind blowing once you realize this. The Russians infected the American media with the information they wanted to distribute and then waited for it to go viral. They played all of us. And it worked so well most still don't even realize how we got here. Incredible.

#HonKong Thread: Hong Kong protesters abandoned Facebook for other platforms - "Facebook is not a useful tool for the movement except for those celebrities and parties, on which they make announcements and deliver statements." euronews.com/2019/07/12/hon…
The 2014 Hong Kong generation was dependent on Facebook. Now, "most young people don't use Facebook anymore & turned to Snapchat or Instagram." At the core of the issue is Facebook's algorithm, which prioritizes posts triggering an intense debate in the comments.
"In 2014, Facebook amplified the disagreements between the various "school of thoughts". EconReporter wrote. "In 2014, the movement had no experience and leaders did not know how to handle it and promote democratic decisions within it," Han Mei said.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
