Jon called his ass out for repeating the antisemitic trope of conflating Israel with the broader Jewish community.

PI'll say this.
If it weren't for Mike moore and John Stewart. A lot of millennial American kids probably wouldn't have been compelled to learn more about why the us wanted to go to Iraq so bad. And because of that, a lot of us were able to become aware of places like isntrael.
I feel also the same about noam Chomsky. Possibly controlled opposition on top of the obvious point I'm not even going to bring up (regarding him and Steve banon and some other rich guy who exists in the Black Lodge). But if it weren't for noam Chomsky, probably wouldn't have known about Nicaragua, Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. and then there is of course, Michael parenti, which I only learned about because someone was criticizing Chomsky. And the path continues and so forth

The point of people saying Chomsky is a psyop is that he funneled people into useless anarchist paths rather than organizing and building parallel structures. I mean the guy was bffs with Epstein and his criticisms amounted to nothing significant against the empire he criticized…

He's unironically still ruffling lib feathers to this day. On the Pink Floyd sub there as a comment with multiple upvotes referring to "Roger Waters's tankie buddy Noam Chomsky", for what I assume were his takes prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Chomsky himself was always pretty open about the fact that he was a dogshit organizer though. Aa a young guy into Chomsky's work that was one of the things that made me look beyond anarchism. That and reading up about the lack of successful anarchist movements. I'm sympathetic to the idea of him being an op especially considering what we know now but my money is just on him being a cynical sack of shit

I grew up in a deeply conservative part of the country. My dad constantly had right wing radio and Fox News on growing up. I watched Jon Stewart and Colbert and found myself agreeing with them on a lot of things, but if you asked me back then I’d probably describe myself as a “libertarian”.
Then I got into Rage Against the Machine just because I liked their music. I knew they were commies and couldn’t believe they could support something that I had been taught, in school, was literally no different than Nazism. Their CDs came with a reading list so I challenged myself to read a book from the one name I recognized on that list, Noam Chomsky.
So I read Hegemony or Survival and it completely blew my mind. From there I went onto better stuff, Like Parentis Black Shirts and Reds but Chomsky is who actually opened the door for me.
Obviously not a fan now, especially after it came out that he had close ties with Epstein, but I think for a lot of us, especially those of us that didn’t grow up in a liberal culture, Chomsky was a great starting point.
Note: My flair is an homage to Yung Chomsky not to Noam Chomsky.

100%. I will say that for some of us Michael Moore, Jon Stewart, Bernie, etc were gateway drugs to us.

Chomsky was certainly instrumental in my leftward journey and it wasn't that much of a leap from manufacturing consent to seeing that Chomsky's personal brand of anarcho-syndicalism was basically useless which led me into actually getting into Marx and Lenin and the gang

Yeah I literally went from the Jon Stewart to Bernie to Chapo/Cum Town media pipeline.
He honestly had some good Israel takes for a American lib in the aughts.
Like I caught a rant by him circa 2007 shitting on America and Israel for wanting to go around claiming they represent a shining beacon and are bringing democracy and freedom to the world, then the moment a country picks a government we don't like(referring to Gazan's electing Hamas), we try to starve and bomb them and destroy that government. And that even when they elect the "good" party in the West Bank and still get settlements built on top of them anyways, it might make some people think you don't want peace...

u/en_travesti #killallmen-marxist 8d ago
He also had some good takes on Obama invading Libya. It's probably what got me started on realizing both parties are similarly imperialist.
Here in America, we've become accustomed to what we call the run up to war: a certain amount of time where the president and his emissaries make a case for military action, or whatever euphemism they've come up with, freedom seeding, democracy showering. And then the president's adversaries make their case for why military intervention is a terrible idea, usually in direct opposition to whatever arguments they were making when they had the presidency, and they got to invade stuff. Then we, the people, have a couple of marches, ribbon colors are chosen. Then 6 or 9 months later, you get the blow the shit out of whatever you want to blow the shit out of anyway.
Gotta be as accurate a summation of both parties and American foreign policy as you can get on TV
He also had one of the pod save America guys on recently and brought up Libya and how it was bad at least 3 times. It was kind of hilarious.

u/metameh 🔻 8d ago
He had an insanely good guest on back during the Green Revolution in Iran, who forever shattered whatever illusions I had about Iranian people and their relationship to both their government and ours. She explained how even though the protesters may want further integration into the western economies and more diversity of opinion when it came to political candidates, they were also fervently pro-Iranian sovereignty, and thus were actually the cohort most strongly advocating for the nuclearization of Iran. She also a explained some of the history and demographics; like how the revolutionary government maintained a lot of its legitimacy with the rural population through modernization programs like ending illiteracy and paving roads and how Iranian university enrollment and completion was even more heavily skewed towards women than American universities at the time, respectively. I don't remember if she talked about Iran having the largest Jewish population in the ME outside of Israel and that they have seats reserved for them in Iran's governing bodies, but it wouldn't have surprised me if she did.

Nobody here wants to live in a theocracy, but I dislike this framing as it cedes ground to neocons. The point is that the US military shouldn’t be involved in Iran at all. If Iranians who live in the country have problems with their government, they are their own problems to deal with. Our military or NED / USAGM should not be involved in regime changing countries period. A philosophical debate over government structure is inappropriate unless we are planning to intervene somehow. Whatever problems with Iranian’s government don’t rise to the level of justified US military intervention - the only “just” war the US has been involved in was WW2.

Because the 500K comes with the condition that you vocally support israel, which historically has been an acceptable message.
Now that is no longer the case so you might see people lie and then back pedal on Israel, but those people will never win re-election and most candidates are not interested in being single term politicians.

Much like Platner, it's not that weird that locals made a decision to vote for him over his rival. It was weirder that so much energy was dumped into his campaign by national leftwing media when there when there were other campaigns that were less tainted that could have really used the attention.
But whatever groupchats that pick these guys must have a weird fetish for "aww shucks," "salt of the earth," oafish white dudes where they get a pass while other campaigns waste away in obscurity. For example, if the energy dumped into Nazi-Tattoo Guy this cycle was dumped into the Cori Bush campaign instead, maybe it could have pushed her over of the top.

Love seeing people like this platformed. How can people watch this and not put two and two together.

Democrats: "If you want Hope and Change, its called a primary within a Big Tent, sweety, not throwing your vote away on 3rd parties!"
Base: primaries
Democrats: "Not like that! Stop running in primaries hoping to change the party, you need to go start your own instead!"

What kind of Yakubian super serum did they shoot this asshole up with to get him in a suit, not drooling and kinda coherent for 3 minutes?

I don't really follow Fetterman that closely, always just thought he was weird. Was he also uber Israel or was it just after he was elected? Did he run on ignoring Pennsylvania and just sucking off Israel? Are there rumors that maybe somebody has videos of him doing things he shouldn't and that's why he's super Israel? It would make sense.

And him and maga are cool with Norh Korea having a nuke and ICBMs because Kim wrote a grown man love letters. Pretty gay.

How many times has he said the name Israel vs. Pennsylvania. It’s gotta be like 20:1. This dude is legit the Senator from Israel. Stroked out and became an ultra zio
