Amazing how quickly they gave up on finger wagging over Israel not allowing in aid supplies

    The strategic blunders from the Democrats on all levels is incredible. They’re throwing the progressive anti-war libs to the left, they’re giving well-meaning libs an experiential crash course in how Hasbara propaganda works.

    The way they have been peeling people off of liberalism recently is just remarkable.

      The way they have been peeling people off of liberalism recently is just remarkable.

      The problem is that our “Trump will end democracy if we don’t vote against him!” #Resistance media is rapidly transforming into a “Trump is actually cool and good, and we’re excited to see what he does next” court full of supplicants. The MSNBC Liberals aren’t getting a crash course in how Hasbara works, they’re getting an earful of propaganda that they’ll inevitably believe.

      Liberals are being peeled off, but they’re not turning left. They’re going to be diverted into “We need to be more fascist if we want to win elections” Bush Era conservatism. The leftists, meanwhile, are going to keep getting the OWS/BLM/anti-Genocide treatment. We’re already seeing that with the naked hostility aimed at Sarah McBride. Nevermind the treatment of Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman.

        I was thinking more like the well-meaning libs who oppose war or want to see military aid to Israel being stopped.

        Being called a Hamas-sympathiser is going to be a slap in the face and I think it’s going to make them realise how often Hasbara trolls resort to claiming everything is Hamas. It would be hard to go back to believing the narratives coming out of Israel after a wake-up call like that.

        Liberals siding with Fascists, a love story as old as time somewhere in the interwar period.

      i think it’s a bubble effect of the democrats who have lost touch with americans.

      3 out of the 5 software developer leftists that first introduced me to marxist/leninist theory switched to either becoming a hard core capitalist or keep their mouths shut because of the disgustingly high salaries they get from their software engineering jobs.

        Cowards, all. The opportunity to be a class traitor to the worst of all classes is the only reason to even have a software job.

          the worst part for me is that i really like them as people; i aspired to emulate one once in a few ways.

        I don’t think they were in touch to begin with. The plain fact is that 2015-2021 everyone who wasn’t in MAGA was cosplaying.
