   I meant it when I said "when the revolution is for everyone, everyone will be for the revolution."

   My politics are not inconsistent, I simply keep getting lefter as I uncover and deconstruct my own reaction and colonization. You should try it, it's liberating to no longer have to defend fascists and garbage people because you're attached to your own bullshit ideas. Bullshit ideas you OBTAINED from self-serving reactionaries in the first place, might I add.

     I think there were lots of signs that this whole wing of the western "left" was garbage, but the really big tip off and the moment you *should* have caught the plot if you hadn't already, was when folks were marching in the streets to defund murderpigs and your fave influencer was going on about how the real problem was "identity politics" and how everyone talking about racism and queer rights were "neoliberalism and basically the CIA."

     And, as an aside, and it pains me to say this because Manufacturing Consent literally changed my life - the reason I know about almost all of these people? Is Noam fucking Chomsky. And I'm not saying he's a fascist, because even he eventually came around to saying "wait, this is fascism" and he's never told me "wokeism is the real problem" - but I am saying you can't trust his filters because ho-ly fuuuuck Noam...

     There really isn't much of a separation between Greenwald, Taibbi, Finkelstein, Burgis, Jimmy Dore (and the list keeps going) - they all have big opinions about why you're doing it wrong if anything you say makes white dudes uncomfortable. Wrapping that in psuedo-socialism and (not even) revolutionary verve doesn't really change that their message is "appease crackers or you're actually the enemy."

     I'm jussayin.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites Noam Chomsky's trajectory, which did a weird uncomfortable shift, is troubling. I mean the dude taught me so much but yeah, I guess he also unintentionally taught me why anarchists can't have "heroes".

     @salad_bar_breath In fairness, he eventually said, in a letter to a supported, that he wanted shit fuck all to do with Greenwald; I think there's been some improvement on where he was in 2018. But it doesn't change the fact that half of Rumble's all star cast is known in my circles because Noam told us they were important thinkers with good ideas to share.
