5·8 months agoSorry, if you call yourself a historian of Cuba, but you post reactionary, anti-communist takes, than I’d argue your title and credentials have a right to be called into question especially if you defend SOSCuba protesters and bash “tankies” and PSL.
In this case, unfortunately not. I forgot to mention that he also bashes “tankies” and PSL too if you look it up on twitter.
He also defended those protesters from July 2021 that led to that whole SOSCuba thing, so sorry if I don’t take him seriously.
That’s quite literally what he wrote on his twitter page lol
Despite studying Marxist Historiography, he could have fooled me with the questionable statements he’s made on social media in the past. This isn’t me just bashing him out of the blue. Why are you defending him?
34·8 months agoOcasio-Cortez did not directly call Israel’s military action a genocide during a “Meet the Press” interview in late January as she sidestepped a question about whether using the term was going overboard.
“Some of your colleagues have accused the president of supporting genocide, including Rashida Tlaib. Do you agree with that word, genocide, that the president’s been supporting a genocide, or does that go too far?” host Kristen Welker asked her during the interview.
Ocasio-Cortez replied that the young people throughout the country were “appalled at the violence and the indiscriminate loss of life.” She cited a recent United Nations’ International Court of Justice decision that stated Israel has a responsibility to prevent a genocide.
“They are still determining whether it’s a genocide. Do you think that term is responsible given it’s still under investigation?” Welker pressed.
“I believe that they are. They’re still determining it. But in the interim ruling, the fact that they said there’s a responsibility to prevent it, the fact that this word is even in play, the fact that this word is even in our discourse, I think, demonstrates the mass inhumanity that Gazans are facing,” the congresswoman replied.
4·9 months agoYeah, in at least one of his older videos he says this.
lol
Didn’t this guy claim he got kicked out of PSL for being anti-China?
11·9 months agolol He’s actually a semi-prominent YouTuber who self identifies as a communist and makes reaction content.
13·9 months agoThe only thing I could think to add would be a link to the Death Panel podcast since they’ve been good about covering COVID from the beginning.
Very telling that most of the people bashing OP in the other thread are new here and probably aren’t aware of c/covid and the culture this site has about taking COVID seriously.
Very telling that most of the people bashing OP are new here and probably aren’t aware of c/covid and the culture this site has about taking COVID seriously. OP’s one hundred percent justified, people bashing him are cowards.
In the same episode, they made this joke during Weekend Update:
Chicago this week became the largest city in America to call for a cease-fire in Gaza.
In return. Gaza called for a cease-fire in Chicago.
Brace told people it was a bit before the footage dropped. They dedicated two entire episodes to talking about Shen Yun, so there actually was context beforehand.
12·10 months agolol like that’s a hard bar to clear. There are FAR better country artists today that don’t have reactionary lyrics like Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson and Margo Price or even a mainstream act like Chris Stapleton. Anthony is crap and ignoring a huge aspect of it isn’t going to change anything.
If the lyrics were leftist instead of chud no one here would be saying it’s bad
lol
Yeah, if the lyrics weren’t reactionary they would be good. You can say that about every bad song though. Like what if bad….was good!

I love that the latest struggle session is about an anti-Marxist social democrat on a predominantly ML and anarchist site. Like I said before, all the dude does is write good articles sometimes. He’s not worth dying on a hill over. lol
The album’s lyrics, written by Yorke, are more abstract compared to his personal, emotional lyrics for The Bends. Critic Alex Ross said the lyrics “seemed a mixture of overheard conversations, techno-speak, and fragments of a harsh diary” with “images of riot police at political rallies, anguished lives in tidy suburbs, yuppies freaking out, sympathetic aliens gliding overhead.” Recurring themes include transport, technology, insanity, death, modern British life, globalisation and anti-capitalism. Yorke said: “On this album, the outside world became all there was … I’m just taking Polaroids of things around me moving too fast.” He told Q: “It was like there’s a secret camera in a room and it’s watching the character who walks in—a different character for each song. The camera’s not quite me. It’s neutral, emotionless. But not emotionless at all. In fact, the very opposite.” Yorke also drew inspiration from books, including Noam Chomsky’s political writing, Eric Hobsbawm’s The Age of Extremes, Will Hutton’s The State We’re In, Jonathan Coe’s What a Carve Up! and Philip K. Dick’s VALIS.
Don’t forget she was caught changing aspects of her life story like last year. lol
