How does corporate sponsorship of Pride stop lgbt people from organizing against corporate abuses? He doesn’t say!

also Matt Stoller was the guy who spent most of the election season insisting Trump 2.0 would include a Lina Khan esque focus on antitrust reform

instead it has involved the near-total demolition of all federal regulatory autonomy, consumer protection, and corporate oversight

whoops

we are going to vote our way out of this because the current admin doesn't have the capacity to stop it

Also snowdens lying about the timeline, he talked to greenwald back in 2012

Juniper was trending on twitter winter of 2015, he searched the archive found a document, mudge flew down to review it, story got published.

This uh was not a good system done by competent journalists but there absolutely was extremely fucked up shit in the docs

Access only to a small section of the docs. the way most docs were reviewed were by greenwald escalating them to sme review on an individual basis but he doesn’t know how to computer and has no clue what even should be reviewed or not.

This is why the juniper backdoor took 2 1/2 years to report.

whether it was the code used or an early test build.

The conclusions drawn by the reporters, primarily greenwald, were usually wildly off base. No expert has ever actually seen the full cache of documents. The closest was scheier who has very limited and dated expertise and he had unrestricted

Like, there’s a reason that the pitch to American voters by the Trump campaign was “deporting all the Mexicans will make borgar cheaper or something idfk lol let’s just do it” and most voters went for that

It wasn’t because anyone actually reasoned it was sound economic policy

For both leaders and followers of fascism, actual hard economics is at best a distant second-place contestant as a motivator behind pride and bigotry because no one dumb enough to get duped into fascism actually pays attention to the numbers (yes this includes the dumbasses on /r/WallStreetBets)

The reason that Nazi, MAGA, and Euro-populist econ policy is so wildly incoherent is that its makers simply do not actually care about it and the only thing that really animates them is “kill the foreigner”, everything shorter being fully negotiable to favor either labor or capital in turn

Look how Noam Chomsky was weirdly defending Bashar Assad and claiming Syrians were faking the atrocities and genocide and he ended up in the Epstein files!
