I stumbled upon a Politifact’s fact check of Sanders’ Cuba literacy comments, which the author noted as ‘Mostly True’. The reason it was ‘Mostly True’ instead of ‘True’ is ‘The teaching texts were full of ideological messaging.’

I fucking shit you not. Libs screech at the top of their lungs about Fox News propaganda, and can’t even recognize the very same ideology and propaganda in the media they consume/create.

This is another perfect example of priors warping data. ‘Rent control = bad’ is so ingrained into libs mindsets that they don’t even question it or the faulty data funded by developers. Developers dominate every city council, they are scourge. The world would immediately be way better if every developer was [redacted].

Intercept used to have much better politics. Vice was always a grift.

Sam Seder on MR today brought up Warren’s ideology (pro-capitalist) and Jamie’s ideology (communism) and talked about which is the correct way. He poo-pooed Warren without actually understanding anything about communism, markets, and capitalism, but it just goes to show you that even libs like Seder are deep down having regrets about voting Biden.

My lib fam are increasingly dummed out over Biden. A family friend former libertarian is openly talking about decommidifying certain industries.

These people are seeing the contradictions heighten and realizing that the problem isn’t Biden, but the system, but they can’t quite put it into words. I’m glad that people are seeing Biden as a just a cut out for the ills of capitalism. The more people radicalized the better.

God I hope it happens soon. Killing the idea of American exceptionalism once and for might move this country one step away from total psychosis. My lib family defend troops abroad with ‘But if we aren’t there, someone else will be there!’ as if it this country’s God given right to threaten force at all times.

What an absolute legend. It’s fun watching libs brains break every so slightly when you reveal the IMF for what it is - an arm of American colonialism.

What do they even get out of that shit? A quick laugh, and for what, to feel superior in some way you happen to live in a different part of the country when nothing bad happens?

Yes. Libs and conservatives are remarkably similar in ideology, the only difference is which groups deserve to suffer and which groups deserve empathy.

Personal grievances have replaced ideology. How many ‘Don’t like Bernie because he reminds me of my abusive dad’ posts did we see? This kind of thinking is trained into us to prevent any kind of class based ideology.

Local subreddits are cesspools of reactionary psychopaths. Nextdoor with tech fetishists.

Love it, but you know Wall Street is working with McKinsey right now to figure out a way to astroturf WSB and create this kind of situation for their benefit.
