It will achieve huge gains for the insiders. If you know when the announcements happen, you can long and short the market accordingly. They're using the US/world economy like a crypto pump and dump scheme

Yes. That's the point. He's flexing his economic muscles and showing how dominant his regime is

If you're not cognisent of that and truly see yourself as an objective storyteller, I see that as dangerous and why I responded to the initial skeet.

I think it's dangerous to only see Fox News as propaganda. Every piece of news isn't a neutral recount of a series of events. You, as the journalist, behave as a filter that people see reality through, and you will have your own biases and things you are forced to leave out to craft a story.

Please explain how you are not a propagandist? What makes someone an "admitted propagandist" from just a journalist?

It's not insane. It was a very calculated pump and dump of the US economy that just made a lot of insiders a helluva lot of money

Democrats saying "it's unconstitutional" for the 7th time in 2 days like it's gonna do something

How does punching numbers into a speadsheet help society in any way?

Absolutely brilliant!

Anyway. Rant over. Ever single social issue was changed by radicals putting everything on the line to fight for their rights. Stonewall, Cable Street, the suffragette movement, the BPP, the civil rights movement. This is how social change happens and it's never popular with moderates as it happens.

The other thing is, the study just seems to conclude that leftists hold leftist perspectives. Wow! Really? I thought that all these anarchists were just doing it for the cool punk aesthetic and were actually all just raging racists and homophobes who wanted landlords to have more power?

The way that the questions have been framed is biased asf as well. Using language that the majority of the public don't understand, like white privilage, is obviously going to yield less agreement that if it was asked in a more accessible way (e.g. Are white people considered the default in society)

The most egregious comment on this study (not in the article) is the comment that "progressive activists" won't work with transphobes. Of course we fucking won't. Why would I ally myself with people who want to kill my friends?

They look so pretty!

We are not helpless, we outnumber them a million to one!

The only thing that will end this is the end of the current system. The only thing that will end the current system is the organised masses. This won't be done online. Get out there, start talking to people, and build community.
