Excellent post, OP. I’d like to point out the expertly ghoulish part of the description:
an independent agency of the United States government
How the fuck can OTF be described as fucking “independent?” It’s funded by the US government and explicitly says it’s mission is “vital to US national interests.” It should be laughable that very serious people are able to describe an explicit arm of the US propaganda network as “independent” without their brains exploding. Let’s see if Wikipedia has the same unbiased™ take on state media from, say, China:
CGTN (formerly known as CCTV-9 and CCTV News) is an international English-language cable TV news service based in Beijing, China. It is one of six channels provided by China Global Television Network, owned by the Chinese state media China Central Television (CCTV), under the control of the Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.[2][3]
:yea:
satire was so effective at bringing down terrible dictators like Mao and Stalin
bintch how where either of them “taken down by satire”? They both died as the leader of their country lmao.
Excellent post comrade :stalin-heart:
It’s an article literally saying that “leftists can push Biden to the left” while pointing to these accomplishments as proof:
[Biden’s administration] embraced massive government intervention to stave off the worst economic impacts, including handing millions of families monthly checks (by expanding the child tax credit), giving all kids in public schools free meals, boosting unemployment insurance and extending health coverage to millions.
All of those policies were temporary and have now expired. Truly the most progressive president since LBJ.
Lol real “the Democrats cannot fail, they can only be failed” energy here. If the dems were serous about appealing to left voters they could adopt leftist policies, but every election they instead put all their energy into browbeating the left for not voting for some centrist dipshit hard enough.
I appreciate your willingness to interact with this post in good faith, but this is a bit. The content usually surrounds some leftist concept (like ‘degrowth’ or in this case ‘replacing the hammer and sickle’) and apes leftists’ use of specific language - the phrase “liberal arts Bookchin PMC like the Adbusters radlibs at Occupy Wall Street” is the real tell here.
Forced me to understand insurance terms like “deductible” and “copay” despite never pursuing a career in insurance.
He didn’t even retire early, he apparently works 30 hours a week on his weekly newsletter and whatever the fuck “management coaching”. Imagine having a seven figure salary and still having to pretend that you’re being productive lmao.
