google abby martin for reasons unrelated to you saying that she's smoking hot

lol at thinking she's been deplatformed - she has about a million followers on x and insta combined and was a guest on rogan

and lol at thinking that someone who's claim to fame was being a 9/11 truther and chosen to be a puppet on RT should have even remotely any kind of the clout she has

This is such a narratively incoherent post

I vacuumed my house yesterday from the dog park.

If it's not a Matic, try again.

Never heard of it. This one is "generic chinese tuya robot vacuum/mop"

It's the first time my house has actually been clean since I refinished the floors.

was looking for a smokeshow who was a brilliant academic mind but sadly deplatformed

instead found a 6.5 conspiratard who had a following far greater than what she deserved - she's not even above average intelligent or anything, just putting out stupid ideas that attracts conspiratorial minded people

was expecting a deplatformed hannah fry by his description

brilliant academic mind

She is a journalist, rick. It's barely one level above influencer. No one said academic.

for the kind of journalism you're discussing, it is more academic in nature


AOCIA now attacking Trump from the right. Criticizing Trump's actions Venezuela because he "left the Maduro regime intact".





Kwame Ture might be my favorite dude


I just read that Amazon has just passed Walmart as the largest company in the world by revenue. $717B vs $681B

All I have seen her use it for recently is to benefit Palestinians. But I am not paying close attention.

she's promoting the documentary she just released "earth's greatest enemy". it's about how the USA military causes a shocking amount of pollution that is killing us all.

Sounded like, at 1:50 - 2:00, he said that the Jews, instead of petitioning Britain for the land, should instead have gone to Israel to "take" it?

Mike Tyson is a strange choice but ok.


BM, can you please help me understand why the German communists joined with with fascists to quell the social democrats in Germany?

The Communist Party sent a courier to the headquarters of the Nazi Party with a request for cooperation in the blasting of a Trade Union Conference. Hitlerites agreed, as they always did in such cases...

Within a month, the German Stalinists had organised a united front with the Nazis in the Berlin transport workers' strike! The tram workers took unofficial action over a proposed wage cut. To everyone's surprise, the Nazi Party supported the strike. They joined forces with the Communist Party attacking trams and ripping up tram lines. [...]
This spectacle repulsed ordinary socialists and trade unionists and caused a loss of sympathy for the strike.

Was it accelerationism?


i saw a tweet that said how the govt bought all those warehouses to turn them into ice prisons, they could have done that to house people


You mean to tell me they could be doing something better with that money than building concentration camps??????!?!?!?!


😆


Normally they would want to run that seventy billion dollars through support contracts so they can engage in corruption dealing out the contracts. As with incarceration.

Here they are just outright purchasing facilities. Curious.

it's even worse if you follow the money

the properties were purchased from Russian companies at a massive profit
