All the people who defended Matt Gaetz, or did devil's advocate for his "positives" are looking really bad right now.
A bunch of people decided to either defend Matt Gaetz, or point out so-called "positives" of his views. Was it worth it?

Correction: Cenk is on stage with a White Supremacist.
BUT I'm just beating up on poor "leftists" who keep getting blamed for everything. I am so so wrong for calling out their white supremacy, right? RIGHT??!!!

You can definitely disagree with the content and there are some questionable decisions as reported here but the rage baiting was insane.

The Not So Hidden Israeli Politics of 'The Last of Us Part II'
'The Last of Us Part II' presents what at first seems like an evenhanded point of view, but perpetuates the very cycles of violence it's supposedly so troubled by.

I just don’t really see leftist people hitting the streets and door knocking when I’m working with campaign’s. And I only really see leftists protest, make hardline demands, and fail to negotiate. I also only see liberals bringing progress through government. Curious what action you’re referring to

So Black ppl are not working class? Black ppl were subjected to the same misinformation that white working class was subjected to. Yet, Black ppl voted for the candidate who joined a picket line for autoworkers and provided the tie-breaking vote to save the teamster's pensions. It's white supremacy.

I’m hardly the 1st person to say this, but Luke’s gloss on the lost sheep parable (there’s more rejoicing over the repentant sinner than the 99 who didn’t stray) has probably done more harm to the world than anything in the NT other than the Great Commission.

You're not wrong, but I do think it's a bit two-faced to constantly tell corporations like Disney that representation isn't enough, then turn around and shit on them for abandoning it. Does it matter or not? It makes it seem like your ONLY ideology is being anti-corporation.

Musk has been retweeting Nazis and repeating Nazi talking points for years. Why would the 6567th example of him doing this be a big deal when it's come after 6566 prior examples?
I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”
The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

4/4 What "leftists" have never understood: Regression is never a wise tactic in order to achieve a larger goal because more often than not the regression becomes longer term and the larger goal is never met. Black ppl have always understood this. Hence, the reason we are often at odds w/"leftists"

1/? What "leftists" are going to learn through all of this "burn it all down" foolishness that they have engaged in for the last 9 years is once you lose rights, they are very hard to get back. We are going on 3 years without Roe. There is no quick fix to get it back.

Accusations of being a fed are thrown around so much they're meaningless at this point. Recommend people read more non-white Socialists? Fed. Ask for more masking and/or wheelchair accessibility at DSA events? Fed. Criticize one tiny subset of the Left from the Left? Fed.

He didn't say anything new. This is the same argument which niche cancer focused companies faced in terms of profitability.

That's actually their job, and should remain their job because their aim is never profit

They want to imagine themselves as heroes of ethics and self-awareness without doing the hard work.
So they construct fantasies in which genocide is as simple as a man in uniform saying “torture that person!” and all heroism takes is not being stupid or scared enough to do that.

I do find it very funny that Singal got mass blocked by every trans person here and left. Like if anything were further proof he was only here to harass trans people, being denied access to them as a target meant he lost interest in the platform despite it breaking its own TOS to have him.

The talking point that “it’s so strange for the white working class to vote against its economic interests and care so much about trans politics” is odd to me when tons of cis coastal liberals vote to raise their taxes and actively protect trans people

A group of predominantly white men has been dealing with growing discomfort at the idea that their voices shouldn't be centered by default in resistance to Trump and bam! Effort to center marginalized voices is a distraction because the only problem is the ECONOMY, stupid.
