goddamn, that trevor noah set about marikana was some fucked up shit...
i'm listening to it in the background and it's shockingly fascist. "teargas doesn't work anymore. what strike was ever ended with teargas?" what a sick, pig-serving fuck.
Every penny this scumfuck ever made should go directly to the Lonmin miners and their families and anything short of that is a gross injustice.
Here's a documentary on the strike and the massacre that Trevor Noah dismissed in that revolting, copaganda "comedy" set.
Dude is gonna talk about #copaganda tonight, presumably. This fucking guy.
Police in South Africa shot four more people today. Could ask ole Trev if he still feels the way he did about the Marikana Massacre today using this as an entry point...

Well. He wasn't asked about his own culpability (on anything that aired.) Not that we expected it.

#ACAB Daily Digest (August 3, 2022)🧵:

Brianna Grier, a 28-year-old mother of two with schizophrenia, was killed by police in Sparta, GA in July when police *claim* to have accidentally left the cruiser she was being transported in completely open and she "fell" out. Briana Grier smiling broadl...

The discourse isn't an indictment of "the left," it's an indictment of liberal bloggers, writers and other aspiring take-havers who have built entire personas, readerships and professional networks over decades around their little fiefdoms of very public, radlib posturing.
It will continue because this is a micro-blogging site where people can and do build entire livelihoods, these professionals are deeply networked and, besides their penchant to defend each other and their shared liberal project, it's good for their own brands to keep it going.
If they really wanted this to go away, they'd stop gabbing about it and let it die as all things here eventually do. But no serious leftist thinks working for murder merchants for damn near 20 years while deceiving people for your other very lucrative, online hustle is right.

From 2012: "South African police have been accused of planting weapons near the bodies of workers killed during strikes at the Marikana platinum mine.

Photographs taken by police suggested large knives had been placed near the bodies after they had been shot"

This, too, is copaganda

People need to stop taking fascists at their word. That should be a mantra these days.

Cryptocolonizers don't see "the Block Chain" as a solution to a real problem, they use *the claim that it is* to obscure their efforts to register/commodify land in Fiji and other places.
"90% of Fiji’s land is held in indigenous communal trust, a legacy of sabotaging the British land commission of the 19th century... [This isn't] a problem that needs solving; it’s what [kept] those lands outside of extractive property relations." the-crypto-syllabus.com/blockchain-imp…
The whole El Salvador Bitcoin project threw the kitchen sink of these bullshit cover stories at what was (and still is), at its heart, just another rightwing utopian fantasy of carving out an autonomous zone for the rich in Latin America.

Out of curiosity - what year do you think it is? lol.
I'm joking. Relax. But as a fellow 40+ person, I make this kind of mistake frequently, so I feel I'm entitled to joke. The CIA has been propping up fascists for 70+ years (including when it was the OSS.)
1980 was twenty years ago and you can't tell me fucking otherwise, ok?
