I guarantee you every good reporter at WaPo is desperately seeking an exit plan—increasingly difficult in this time of mass news death. They’d be better served by your support of small, independent news organizations, giving them solid places to land once they’re fired or laid off from the Post.
“It can’t make that much difference to you” is one of those lines that plays over and over for me
I believe this is also, deep down, why they hate AOC
“Polarization is good. That’s when you have clarity.” 🧨
What the hell is Carrie Mathison doing in this fever dream?
Perhaps you should donate it to the Harper’s Weekly Review, where it can bask in the glory it deserves.

Friedman’s gonna Friedman, I guess
Oh, for fuck’s sake. The guy said Israel killed Charlie Kirk and JFK, that Israel was behind 9/11, and that October 7 was a false flag.
That’s not “anti-Israel.” It’s *extremely thinly veiled* “Jews run the world” shit, and if you can’t see that, you’re either a troll or deeply, deeply gullible.
From Yahoo! News story: In late January, however, Platner sat for a lengthy online interview with Nate Cornacchia, a retired Green Beret who has also promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories. Near the end of their hour-long conversation, Platner, a fellow military veteran, called himself "a longtime fan" of Cornacchia's YouTube channel, "Valhalla VFT," and said it was "an absolute pleasure being" on the show. Cornacchia, whose show claims nearly 500,000 YouTube subscribers, has in recent months helped stoke a burgeoning far-right conspiracy theory alleging that Israel was involved in the assassination of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
No, actually, it didn’t prove your point.
First of all, he didn’t “like” the post; he quote-tweeted it. If you’re going to accuse me of intellectual dishonesty over semantics, I’ll return the favor.
Second, you’re telling me referring to this guy as a “neo-Nazi sympathizer” is a stretch?
Go fuck yourself. I’m not a moron, you pretentious asshole.
2) intentionally overlooking/obfuscating examples of #1) by throwing out “ppl are prob accusing him of ‘antisemitism’ because he isn’t beholden to AIPAC” is a strawman that relies on an antisemitism trope.
But you do you, buddy.
Well, I think that’s a pretty disingenuous characterization of my above critiques:
1) “naively” wearing Nazi(esque) symbols & palling around w/neo-Nazi sympathizers over multiple decades is troubling evidence of neo-Nazi apologia, at the very least;
OK, man 🤷🏻♀️
This is so fucking sad, & deeply unsettling. I’m sorry to report it also reveals you to be a rube who fell for the very propaganda you decry.
Israel convinced the world that Jew=Zionist, so if you oppose genocide, you’re somehow against “the Jews.” Unforgivable betrayal, on top of everything else.
No, AIPAC is horrendous. But suggesting that Jews will call you antisemitic if you don’t take AIPAC money plays into the old dual loyalty trope. That what the “meta-“ is for.
Hahaha, good joke, man, meta-antisemitism is so funny.
Not gonna answer the first one since that’s what this whole thread is about.
But to the second, I don’t know, maybe because most people (Americans in particular) are a jumble of tremendously incoherent ideological inputs?
I’d think not electing a neo-Nazi would be a pretty high priority in any kind of functioning democracy, but that’s just (((me))), who’s to say, really?
Just a happy accident
* Science, being an applied practice/interpretive framework, is not an immutable natural state. Curious, isn’t it, that men, who created the parameters by which scientific achievement is measured, also deem themselves superior at it?🤔
I can think of more delicious refutations to his self-debunking “women are biologically bad at science”* inanity, but I suppose this will do.
Can’t believe Grover’s not at the top of your list!
Wow!!!
how this would play out for me:
but what if it's still just turned over from the day before???
bed?
What do you want to bet she was vehemently anti-bike too?
And that they won’t be standing in the bathroom doorway in 30 seconds yelling at you for lemonade
Sorry to burst your bubble, but…not necessarily 🥴
This is the most millennial-coded thread in all of existence.
