i think at this point the CIA must have mastered the art of canceling leftists and we have to be careful
It always trips me out because part of the reason leftists today hate the leftists of the 60s is because they "sold out." The CIA spent years getting shit published in magazines about how these leftist activists were selling out and making money. That was part of cointelpro. And of course social media is just a continuation of that. We never learned that lesson. I'm not saying the CIA has anything to do with this, just that social media is its own cointelpro operation. You don't need agents doing this shit anymore, we do it to ourselves.
It's about growth. I'd argue that most folks either wind up embracing being libs or get more involved with what they can IRL. Too much cognitive dissonance otherwise.
Hard to listen to a bernie stump speech (social imperialist that he is) much less hang out here and not get motivated to find the shit on the ground around you where you can make an impact.
If you think these people are grifters then there's nothing I can say. It's a loaded question and you've already answered it for yourself. There's nothing useful because they are grifters. Not sure what you think you're getting away with there.
That doesn't change what I said. If you axiomatically define people as grifters then there's no point in anyone justifying them to you. You've already dismissed them.
I'm not crying about anything. You asked a loaded question. There's nothing to discuss. And you asked me rather than the people who are actually saying they stan the Bruenigs and like them, which is weird too.

So what if leftist get cancelled or cointelprod? What do these grifters do that is even useful anyway?
Preach. My least favorite part of this place is the obsession with milquetoast left media grifters. But that's part of pipelining.
At least you know someone like Zig Zag ain't getting rich/living the PMC dream running Warrior Up.
I agree, for many leftists, their politics consists of reacting to and absorbing ideas from these grifters and all the drama around them.

Maybe I'm being too charitable who knows.

I consider all social democrats grifters

and why are you crying about this?
Crying about what?
I said he's a grifter then you started crying about my statement for some reason? You can talk in a direct fashion you know?
