    “Hi, we’re anarchists, and we’re here today with the government to tell you why you should support the government.”

    Also Ro Khanna is one of the worst people in government. Crazy that all he had to do was call himself a ‘Bernie progressive’ and everyone accepted it with no receipts. Fuck Bernie too, of course.

      What’s necessarily wrong with Bernie? I realize he is more of a reformist and chooses to dumb down a lot of his talking points for the average person but other than that I don’t know much.

                I believe he also personally wrote about it in Against Empire. I know I read that story from his POV in one of his books.

                  You are right that he wrote about it, but it was in his book To Kill A Nation, and not Against Empire. Here is the direct quote from the book:

                  As the war dragged on and NATO officials saw press attention drifting toward the contrary story—namely that the bombing was killing civilians—“NATO stepped up its claims about Serb ‘killing fields,’” notes the Wall Street Journal.2 Widely varying but horrendous figures from official sources went largely unchallenged by the media. Support for the bombings remained firm among Clinton supporters in Congress (including the one professed “socialist,” Bernard Sanders [Ind.-Vt.]), and among self-described humanitarian groups such as Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, and Concern Worldwide, along with “peace” groups, and various NGOs—many of whom seem to have convinced themselves that NATO was defending Kosovo from a holocaust.

                  Just searched through my copy of both Against Empire and To Kill A Nation to make sure party-parenti

        To add to other posts, there are videos of Bernie speaking in the 70’s and 80’s, if you watch them you can immediately see that Bernie of today is a vague ghost of what he used to be. Young Bernie would beat contemporary Bernie’s ass

    They’re really trying to recapture the popularity of that AOC stream. Only problem is that nobody gives a shit about these three and it will struggle to get halfway to 100k

    The AOC stream had Hasan, Pokimane, Corpse Husband, and a few others that were at their peak during that time. I know people in my country who have heard of and are fans of Pokimane, Corpse Husband, and Hasan. I’ve never met anyone who’s heard of Destiny, Vaush, or Keffals outside of this site and other leftist spaces on the internet.

        Yes, they’re all objectively horrible people, and I’m pretty sure that even the vast majority of libs who hold the exact same political positions as them would agree if they were actually exposed to the antics these three shitheads get up to.

        The only way to make sense of this is that this Khanna guy has some massively online zoomer radlib dweeb on his team who went “Hey you should do a thing with these people, my fellow kids would love that” and he just rolled with it lmao.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
