      Man it sucks when the CIA tells me every existing socialist state is Literally Hitler and despite understanding how propaganda works I have to accept that at face value for reasons

        It's pretty funny tbh

        "so you agree that the war in Iraq was a mistake?"
        "Yes"
        "and you agree that the claims of "weapons of mass destruction" were complete propaganda"
        "Mmhm."
        "and you're aware that at the time, 75% of US citizens supported the war?"
        "Yeah, I've seen the 2003 polls"

        "And despite all that, you still accept US propaganda outlets face value that China is a genocidal terrorist state?"
        "Exactly. What's the issue here?"

            Acktszctchyually, that doesn't matter. They are just boosting their number in order to harvest even more organs from wigga-I mean Uyghurs. Just listen to this Radio Free Asia podcast

          I see people saying this and think, " here's someone who's never listened to his shows or read his writing".

            We do love to beat up fellow leftists with their occasional awful takes a little too much sometimes.

              Yeah and he has never called himself a leftist as far as I know, just an anarchist who loves guns and really wants a mountain side showdown with the ATF and/or FDA. Which I think he deserves. As a snack.

                  Ok nerd, he never called himself a socialist, talkie, succeed, demsucc, communist, posadist, ancom, or any other of our various sects except anarchist. He's also, to my knowledge, never called himself a leftist.
