No one in the US is itching to move to Cuba lol. Plenty of Cubans want to move the US though

M-Ls live in their own over intellectualised delusional bubble. Where has it been shown to work anywhere to a comparable degree that liberalism has worked?

It’s not green/leftist, it’s red/blue old world leftist. The guy genuinely makes excuses for Mao and Russian imperialism etc. There’s a subtle difference between progressive criticism of western foreign policy (Majority Report types) based on human rights, and Hasan tankie types where it’s not actually a universal principle, it’s more that they’re just rooting for the other team.

https://archive.md/oZom2 Hasan is a campist, not a progressive. “The best word for Piker’s ideology may be “campism” — a strain of leftism that judges foreign movements and regimes more by their degree of hostility toward the West than by their adherence to progressive values.”

@Leo Gura I just don’t see him as a green guy. He’s a comically materialistic frat bro, who actually doesn’t care much about green identity politics if you watch him more deeply. I see him more as a red/blue/orange quasi tankie who’s pro anything that’s anti west (which can overlap with green, but a lot of people in the world are anti west without being green)

I don’t even think Hasan is progressive/green. He wears the aesthetic at times but seems like he just hates the west and supports anti west authoritarian regimes

@Leo Gura Purest distillation of cooked Aussie culture

You prefer 2 over 1? The world of 1 is so much more memorable

The Australian media here is going nuts over antisemitism and the failure of our Prime Minister to prevent the latest terror attack

Following all the Trump craziness and the online YouTube political sphere starts to take a toll on mental health. Probably need a break. It would be nice if politics got boring and sensible again

It’s funny how many of the former Republican never-Trumpers like The Bulwark, David Frum, Kinzinger etc are far more steadfast in their Trump resistance than these “both sides” liberals like Tapper have become.

@Leo Gura Can you be centre-left and yellow?

I’m Australian too! Yeah it’s fucked lol. Aussies supporting this are especially pathetic given how he’s treating us. Thankfully most of the electorate has no appetite for right wing populism.

@Leo Gura it’s been genuinely disturbing how many people are still supporting Trump. I didn’t think this much unconsciousness existed amongst us, including family members. The same people would 100% fall for the Nazis if placed in a different time. Different content but same underlying psychology

Berlin, 1945?

The right in America somehow has just been so good at controlling the narratives. Dems are always playing defence, the dynamic has to shift so I guess he’s playing a small part there. The right in Australia recently got fucking historically trounced at the election, partly due to our distaste of American style right wing culture wars. Quite fascinating how different the dynamic can be.

Wild debate. Destiny has been pretty ballsy on this, not capitulating. He reckons it’s a prisoners dilemma where MAGA are on the destruction path, and there’s no point Dems endlessly denouncing violence whilst the right is on a war path constantly upping the insane rhetoric

Good chance they won’t be caught. It was very slick, like Hitman Silent Assassin mode. Makes me think could be a groyper more so than a leftist

Wouldn’t surprise me if this was a far right groyper type that did this

Seems like she’s another “anti-establishment” hack whose sole mission is to bring down Democrats. The right are having a field day with this story

How are the Dems going to compete in the current media ecosystem with leftists constantly trying to bring them down like this. Whole thing seems like a bit of a nothing-burger.

Why has humanity moved up the spiral then over history? Surely there’s more to it

Whilst ignorant, I genuinely don’t think he had the horrific intentions of the current admin.

@Hardkill Trump ripping up USAID and the HIV prevention that Bush himself started alone will probably kill way more people than Iraq
