liberals are again trotting out jimmy carter as if he was some saint-like president. in reality he and trump shared a penchant for aiding and abetting genocidal regimes. and as chomsky notes, if the nuremberg laws were applied both would have been hanged

here's a more detailed account of jimmy carter and his predecessor aiding and abetting genocide in east timor. he has never apologized for this. why would he? the mass slaughter of the timorese is as insignificant to him as stepping on ants

for more details of jimmy carter's war crimes see this piece

here's the full clip of chomsky outlining for each postwar american president why they would have been hanged if the nuremberg laws were applied

a liberal with a biden/harris banner just responded to that clip saying "every leader of every country ever does genocide", which shows you just how fucking deranged bluemaga types really are and how far they will go to defend their surrogate daddies and mommies in the dem party

the most popular opposition movement in russia, which regularly draws mass crowds and comes in second in national elections despite a system rigged against them, is the russian communist party. but the western professional media class prefers to jerk off over crypto-nazi navalny
navalny has about the same amount of support in russia as warren had in the democratic primary, and that's being extremely generous. he is a widely despised figure whose core base is in the newsrooms of the new york times and guardian. more details here:

btw the russian communist party candidate was actually set to win the election against drunk puppet yeltsin who had destroyed the country, but the CIA got involved and rigged it for him. see this thread for more details on that

andrew yang smearing BDS to help his pathetic mayoral campaign is of course unsurprising. he already revealed himself during the primary to be a pathetic hack spouting racist israeli propaganda

his foreign policy page read like something from a neo-con think tank. just full-on imperialist chauvinism of the basest kind
see this thread for more details on andrew yang being a neoliberal techbro hack who wants to destroy the last remnants of the welfare state while putting imperialism on steroids

ok I'm calling it: big is the best rapper to ever do it. there isn't a single song or verse by him that isn't good, and there are many that are perfect. for someone who only put out two albums that's an unrivalled accomplishment. here he is spitting at the age of 17
as I've said before, his ability to flow is unmatched. he doesn't need to do anything fancy and reach for esoteric words like some other rappers, who think they're good bc they read a dictionary. and his voice is like it was made to make the flow smoother

but his lyrics aren't uninformed. it's intelligent and witty, and he has a playfulness and humor that adds to the sheer fun you're having when you're listening to him, even as he says some dark shit, like when he plays two characters in "gimme the loot"

btw the reason cnn fired marc lamont hill is bc he dared to say that palestine should be free from the river to the sea, which whiny pissbabies like ben shapiro claimed was anti-semitic. if only marc were actually anti-semitic but pro-israel ben would have risen to his defense
also, if marc lamont hill should have been fired and disappeared from the public sphere for simply saying palestinians should be free, what should happen to ben for writing straight up nazi shit per his own logic?

ah, people who said "abolish ICE" and actually meant it instead of just sloganeering
it's hilarious that conservatives are now rage-whining about the antifa protests in portland and elsewhere taking aim at biden when for the past 4 years they have been insisting that biden is antifa's dear leader. such pathetic little weaselly creeps they are
also this is what happens when you're protesting as leftists. but when you're a nazi you can just storm the capitol and walk into nancy pelosi's office and onto the senate floor without anyone giving a shit

today is martin luther king day, a day for liberals and conservatives to desperately try to turn him into a harmless icon by erasing his revolutionary anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist politics from view. so here is a thread to commemorate that legacy

the last segment, reposted here, is why MLK (like malcolm x before him) had to be stopped at all cost: he was calling for the revolutionary overhaul of the capitalist economic system, and critiquing the limitation of the struggle to the cultural front

here MLK calls out the hypocrisy of the "lift yourself up by your own bootstraps" propaganda that conservatives and later on also neoliberals employed to destroy any remnants of the welfare state as soon as it could be used to benefit the black community
