Is this… is this a false flag? A literal false flag operation? It looks like a Palestine supporter has paid to fly this as an antisemitic slogan. That must be intentional?

At the same time, it can’t be? It’s a propagandistic warning, right? I can’t help but think every antisemite in the area is going start rolling up at Harvard as if someone’s organised an antisemitic march or something.

Somebody disbelieved me the other day when I said Zionism is antisemitic. Where do you even start explaining when it’s this much in your face and they can’t see it?

There’s going to be a wave of reactionaries after that Navalny money.

Pick me, CIA, pick me.

Like The Hangover but instead of the start of a big night out, every Friday evening could be the start of a week with a surprise decade hidden inside of it.

Social media is not real life. Most of its users are the people we usually try to ignore.

In properly weighted opinion polls, where we only ask the people who we usually ask for opinions, the results show that we were right all along.

It’s all premised on the idea that liberal thoughts are the only valid ones and multiple anti-liberals must be doing something fishy because what other reason could there be?

No ML denies that China is ‘authoritarian’. They argue that all states are.

Almost everything Marxists say is poorly understood by their detractors and framed in a negative light in one way or another.

what as far as I can tell is the rest of the academic world that doesn’t agree with you?

This makes it seem as though you haven’t read the literature and arguments of either side. If that’s the case you shouldn’t be coming to any conclusions at all, especially to dismiss one side outright for being unorthodox. By definition, the counter narrative is going to sound unorthodox in light of the orthodox claims. The correct approach is to read the source and judge it on its own merit and in light of other known facts.

If it wasn’t collapsing, it wouldn’t be in the red.

People think Ukraine has a Nazi problem because western media was shouting about it from the rooftops for a decade before the invasion. Then they only whispered it if they mentioned it at all but they kept on posting pictures of Ukrainian soldiers with Nazi insignia plastered on their faces or their equipment. Or photos of politicians with a portrait of Bandera on the wall above their desk. The gullible liberal journalists didn’t even know what they had to censor out at the start of the war.

Unlike libs, the ‘hard’ left didn’t start looking at Ukraine on the date of the invasion and they didn’t wipe their memories clean of the historical context. A conspiracy involving Russian propagandists isn’t needed to explain this.

Neither are Russian propagandists needed to explain that racist westerners are going to be racist against immigrants and refugees, wherever they’re from.
