Many on the Latte Left facilitated this new era of fascist censorship. Remember when people didn’t care that folks who were accurately assessing the situation between Ukraine and Russia were targeted and silenced?
You lost me at “Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine.” You can just call it what it is… an invasion.
And if you think “the left” in the US is so powerful that it could have made any kind of dent in the narratives surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine I have to call bullshit.
When it comes to war, the two parties are always in agreement. There’s way too much Lockheed and friends money ensuring bombs are going to decimate foreign land for any other outcome. The two sides were in total agreement when deciding to start the Ukrainian coup in 2014. Pretty nuts how Russia gets blasted for their move, while the US overthrowing the government and installing a hand picked “president” is consistently glossed over, don’t you think?
When it comes to war, the two parties are always in agreement.
And that’s the left’s fault how?
They are one of the two sides, so they’re complicate in unnecessary war.
There is no “left” in formal, establishment politics - none. Formal establishment politics is fundamentally right-wing - therefore, blaming the actions of political establishments on any left is inane.
Well obviously in a first past the post system there are only two options, so we have to vote for the blue war-mongers, lest the red-warmongers win. This is the narrative that is pushed every single election by many “on the left.”
The Latte Left AKA virtually all of my professional-managerial class peers, including almost all of the ones who joined the DSA. It seems they’ll never get the several Russiagates out of their heads, despite all of them having been debunked. Fuck you, Rachel Maddow.
Bullshit. Y’all think censorship didn’t exist before?
“This wave of censorship”, but you’re right as in the big picture this is nothing new.
The loudest voices who criticize the imperial core were always silenced, all that has changed is Pax Americana has weakened too much to allow dissent from literally anyone.
