"From the river to the sea" was an ISRAELI SLOGAN, by the Likud party since 1977, the party currently in power, that was then re-appropriated by Palestinians. Like many slurs have been throughout history. It's a palestinian r

Expecting journalists to have evidentiary integrity is now a conspiracy? I didn't say it was false, or that it was true. I'm saying that uncritically reprinting dramatized, political statements from government agents without evide

It's not hiring north koreans that's the issue. It's that doing so is worthy of writing hysterial articles full of unsubstantiated propaganda.

"A lifetime of propaganda" about how NK is some nightmare land? The evidentiary standard on reporting goes basically to zero if it's about NK. Outlandish claims are to be taken at face value and not interrogated, because of a

You're doing the racist rhetoric. There's no one in north korea that isn't "an agent of the state"? Give me a break. You sound ridiculous.

It's really not hard to understand, just look at how US approval ratings of Ukraine have dropped dramatically in the last 3 months. Shifting designations led by powerful people.

You've shifted the goalposts dramatically from economic cooperation, but my point is that your "allies" and your "enemies" are genuinely not your allies or your enemies in any real sense, nor are they for the vast m

Honestly it's odd and out-of-touch to be motivated by being "competitive with China". Who cares? If you are a normal US resident, you care about improving the lives of you and your community, not competing against some far-aw

You conveniently left out the context and are looking at these issues in a vacuum, which is an ahistorical false equivalence and not based in reality. The black power movements are born out of minority resistance to a society which used to

Capitalists in a capitalist country controlling the country? Color me shocked

This person's writings reeks of someone who has a huge ego and takes themselves way too seriously. Could do with some more humility

In a capitalist organization, by definition the capitalists take the productive output from the workers, and sell it, pocketing the difference, and deciding dictatorially how to distribute the revenue. So yes, by definition they are griftin

I think it's a stretch to say "PRC-controlled". I think the government has influence in working with ByteDance's board, not unlike in the US. This is the propaganda that has infected the American psyche. To think every s

Meanwhile, domestic spending on corrupting elections is like comparing an ocean to a raindrop. Mike Bloomberg spent $300 million on ads/influencing elections in 2020.

It is the salient point. A domestic adversary has control over a major influence vector on US public opinion. In the form of Instagram/Twitter/Facebook/etc.

The invasion of Lebanon and Syria by Israel shows that it's not about the hostages. There are no hostages in Lebanon or Syria. It's about acquiring more land.

I don't think this person is reliable or really cares about gov't intervention wrt free speech, to the extent that it is just a trojan horse issue for this person to sell their "COVID vaccines will kill you" articles. It

I also remember getting this bug/issue a couple months ago, and being really confused and frustrated by it. Thanks for publishing.

This guy is obviously just a troll. However it's important to note the unsaid political point. That society has gone "too far" in being tolerant. Bad-faith actors like this will try to weaponize attitudes of good-faith people

Yeah, and often it comes from a place of skepticism, not from a place of trying to understand. And also from a place of laziness, where the skeptic expects the marginalized person to explain why the behavior or speech is harmful, and explai

Exactly. For example Thomas Jefferson fathered 6 children with a slave of his. The millions of men who believed their wives had no right to vote, that it wasn't their place. The parents who shame their kids for their sexuality or gende

Nonsense. Sanctions kill. It's like withholding food from a person who is already hungry.
