saw a powerful speech by a guy saying he's pro-blm, anti-war, called himself an anarchist libertarian & said we should unite against state power. he's w/ an org called NAMBLA that I don't know much about but if you're against uniting w/ him you're the reason the left is a failure

I had an interview w/ him and he insisted he's anti-imperialism, definitely against racism, pro-sex work, anti-corporations and wants to dismantle the state. but his org NAMBLA gets a bad rap in the media. I talked to him. he was a genuine, sincere, nice guy we have to ally with

before you ask: no, I didn't ask him if he supports age of consent laws. that's divisive. we share more in common with him than republicans and democrats! again, if you don't want to work with him you hate workers and are why the left is a failure! also he's like fred hampton

lmao that "boogaloo boy" dore interviewed called himself a libertarian, said he's against medicare for all bc it's government healthcare and also opposes taxes, public education and other public services. in other words he wants total corporate tyranny

forget the racism and crypto-nazi views: just purely on basic politics the guy is to the right of ted cruz and mitch mcconnell. why in the FUCK would you think "allying" with a fringe deranged corporate astroturf group like this would be beneficial to the left? it's bizarre

btw, the far right libertarian pseudo-logic of these creeps is that we live under a fascist state bc it has been taken over by corporations, and the only solution for that is to destroy the state and let corporations and the "free market" loose. again, total tyranny

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

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

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"
