    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?"

        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.
