Has there ever been one of these interviews framed as β€œmaybe there’s something we’ve been missing about this person who is explicit about exactly where they stand?” where the answer isn’t β€œnope!”?

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Lots of this amount to β€œreinforce existing laws” that they are ignoring because no one is stopping them. Defund and Abolish needs to be the starting point, not this pre-compromised horseshit

When watch a video from 30 years ago and someone on the left seems like they could be talking about our current moment,that’s not wizardry or soothsaying. It’s evidence of a point of view which has been systematically marginalized, censored or silenced throughout a good deal of the postmodern period

DOJ files show Jeffrey Epstein discussed female Yale student with professor injured by the Unabomber "From my standpoint, he was one of the two (maybe three) smartest men I'd ever met," a Yale professor said of Epstein in an email to CT Insider.

this guy really seems to look back fondly on his Epstein experiences, which is certainly a choice

Trump, an insurrectionist, invoking the insurrection act is a bit like that Marilyn Manson song where he said "I rape the rapers" and it turned out he himself was a raper. And also similar because Trump is also a raper

one obama era hire, one trump 1st term hire, both served thru biden's run. fully trained for years. kind of a massive flaw in the argument that dems can restrain and retrain the gestapo and reform it.

seems like the country is run by a cabal of rich pedophiles and their backers/people who privilege class solidarity with these rich pedophiles over the safety of literally anyone. they'd be all too happy to throw us all into a giant furnace or cannon if it meant their way of life wasn't disturbed
