Let’s fucking go!!!
its false consciousness. the letter is actually anti-Semitic. they should read Noam Chomsky or something about manufacturing consent.
Your former president warned you previously about the devastating Jewish control of capital
Evangelical Christians are just as or more so invested in the state of Israel as Jews are.
Palestine in response to pressures on your administration by a Jewish lobby backed by enormous financial capabilities.
Again, its not “Jewish” lobby.
Osama isn’t a friend of leftists.
Obligatory plug for Inventing Reality, from which much of Manufacturing Consent was cribbed (or at least it predated MC by 2 years)
And yes, you do not have to hand it to Al-Qaeda. They are reactionaries. They point out things that liberals conveniently ignore sometimes, especially when they are engaged in anti-colonial struggle, but it’s still in service of their right wing views.
If a chud says the sky is blue it does not mean that the sky is purple, but it does not mean he is right about anything else either.
I mean it does point out a lot of very real problems with the US but then it turns around and says ‘and this is because the Jews control the banks and secretly rule America’
From my understanding, most people reading the letter aren’t agreeing with everything it says, just realizing terrorism doesn’t spawn out of nowhere and the US has committed horrific atrocities
We contain multitudes
Can you guys like at least use your magic to replace fr*nch fries with latkes? They’re a superior culinary experience
I may be in board with this, if ketchup is still an acceptable condiment for usage on the latkes after we phase out the French fries.
ketchup isn’t even that good. most other dipping sauces are superior
People are fucking concerned if you don’t want ketchup. Get fries to go and it’s “salt, pepper, ketchup?” “No thanks.” 2 seconds later in the tone of my mom hearing that I’m hiking to the Yukon without a jacket, “how about some ketchup packets?”
I’ll live
(really just said “no thanks” again, don’t want to be rude to a worker but jeez)
You enjoy potato pancakes and their cousins with sour cream or apple sauce. Your mention of ketchup makes me want to commit sectarianism.
Ketchup on fried potatoes is praxis and anyone who claims otherwise is a gusano
ketchup is revisionist. It contains sugar
“Hunger is hunger, but the hunger gratified by cooked meat eaten with a knife and fork and also ketchup is a different hunger from that which bolts down raw meat with the aid of hand, nail and tooth, or some weird ass bullshit like applesauce”
Karl Marx (emphasis mine)
me I use sour cream and apple sauce because I BREAK THE RULES and PUSH BOUNDARIES
sour cream and apple sauce on french fries
is this poutine?
also it’s conclusions that the American civilian population are evil and deserve to die are just as fucked up as when Americans say that about Russia
Look I’m not saying we’re all evil and deserve to die, but if any of us had a shred of moral courage we’d lay down our lives against the empire.
I mean Bin Laden’s a start but somehow getting Parenti or Chomsky videos to go viral would be better. Baldwin too.
Fuck Chomsky, he’s a sub-opportunist defender of the status quo he limply criticizes. Get fucking Kwame Ture on there.
I don’t have a particularly high opinion on Chomsky but he’s mostly had great no-holds-barred takes on Israel-Palestine which are straight and to the point, which is why clips of them have gone viral. But yes, we need to “sneak in” some actual revolutionary voices.
I saw this today and I think it is pure gold.
if the bar is at bin laden then chomsky is an improvement
True, but he’s a great gateway for baby leftists. Manufacturing Consent was very important to a lot of young leftists during the Bush administration.
The Baldwin/Buckley debate is hilarious because Buckley tries to pop off little WASP quips and Baldwin just ain’t having it.
Do you have a link for that? I’ve never heard of either of them but that sounds entertaining
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I feel about Bin Laden the same way I do about Ted Kaczinsky (sp?): might have some very good points but also really bad ones and neither strike me as particularly good people. America may have deserved 9/11 but for me that doesn’t translate to any support - even critical support - for Bin Laden.
Educational system has failed to properly indoctrinate Gen Z, who is performing original research
It’s not at all surprising why this is considered mind-blowing to many young people who had been spoonfed “we got bombed because of our freedumbs” their entire lives subliminally. The general knowledge of America’s “shenanigans” all over the world pre-9/11, never mind the MidEast in particular, is still so far behind despite being leagues better than two decades ago.
That said, seeing a lot of people “hand it” to scum like OBL and Tucker Carlson, even here, has been driving me up the wall. The antisemitic, immaterial drivel reactionaries spew simply spreads false consciousness which distracts from the root of Israel’s role as an enforcer of Western capitalist hegemony. It’s our job as communists to dispel that and raise class consciousness.
JJ McCullough’s response video to the “worrying trend” was honestly just kinda painful to watch. He seems like such a crotchety old man who thinks he knows better than them durn whippersnappers.
JJ McCucklough is a stupid Canuck fuck who runs his soy mouth on issues beyond his depth with all the arrogance that a centrist liberal worldview can explain and solve everything.
You mean this guy isn’t even American and simping this hard for Biden? Fucking loser.
Exactly, liberals all around the world live together in the realm of la la land.
He’s Canadian. Most of our politics are American politics.
I mean, yeah, which is why I don’t watch him much anymore, but could we please not use “soy” as some sort of weird pejorative?
My apologies I didnt mean to imply animosity towards you for supposedly being a fan, I just can’t stand the fucker, should’ve been clearer.
What other shorthand is useful to describe bloodless liberal ghouls in a pejorative way?
Well, that’s not what I took issue with, really, you can clown on me all you like on the grounds that I still watch Jejunum McCullough despite not being able to stand his politics. It’s just that the term “soy” in that pejorative sense is tied up in all sorts of anti-Asian racist history and transmisogyny and whatnot, so I find anyone who uses that term a bit suspect. I’ve only ever seen it used by right-wing bozos before so it was very unexpected to see here.
Soy in right wing context is way more derived from anti-not traditionally masculine man, anti-woman, anti-vegetarian sentiment than it is about being anti asian. I don’t really know how transmisogyny is different from misogyny in this context.
Really need to shut Canada down until we can figure out what the hell is going on
Replace him with Bruce McCullough. Indont really know his politics but he’s my favorite ofnthe Kids in the Hall.
Yeah he’s pretty cringe ngl:
Minecraft
Biden could have Netanyahu fly to Washington and grovel at his feet if he wanted to. It’s not “impressive” that Biden got his dog to do a trick for treats
So, um, 1/140 in aid to the people being bombed of the aid he wanted for those bombing them? Can Obama give him his peace prize? Someone call Francis about beginning the process of canonization
Ok, fuck this guy
Wait, you mean this guy, a person who wrote for a magazine created by William F. Buckley jr, had a bad take? Impossible.

Ghouls, sowing: Yes, yes… underfund the schools… vilify all teachers…
Ghouls, reaping: The education system has failed Gen Z…
It’s false consciousness and some of the kids are going to start acting foolish cause of this (idk the age of gen Z and I’m not looking it up. I’m sure you’re doing fine). But gen Z is inherenting a world on this collision course with doom since before they were born and are witnessing the suffering of the millennials who tried to wrestle with that reality earnestly. It’s the easiest troll of my fucking life to take the “bad guy” from some conflict that these people take seriously and say that he was right. This is elementary for being annoying, an art which defined my adolescence. Getting a news site to take down his letter and getting an article written about you is what made 4chan fun before the Nazis came in. The left should facilitate Dagestani style wrestling and cook rice in a pot you have to flip upsidedown to get out so they get an education and don’t move on to calling Hitler right.
I don’t think the main takeaway for Gen Z on that letter was that homosexuality and jewish people are the source of the world’s ills
This kinda seems like an op tbh
It’d be pretty funny if Bin Laden destroyed the US a decade after his own death not through terrorism but because some American kids read a letter he wrote twenty years earlier.
A bunch of suburbanite gen Zs become cargo cult wahhabists. Instead of having Imams they learn about Islam from the moderators of meme discord groups.
I scroll tiktok a lot and I have not seen any of these videos… so I don’t think the left-wing accounts are really posting Bin Laden.
It feels a bit…odd.
Probably more Zuckerberg attempting to get Tik Tok banned.
I can’t say for sure, but it’s very suspicious.
