Their interests aren’t generally all that aligned, so that helps. It’s pretty obvious that the garbage coming out of the cable news networks is at a minimum deeply sympathetic to American corporate interests, if not straight up misinformation.

From a US perspective, I see these tactics being used far more extensively by wealthy individuals and corporate interests than I do Chinese interests. Unfortunately, our government and especially our politicians are often directly involved in spreading misinformation and suppressing the truth. We need strategies that function outside of government to close the gaps between reality and public perception.
He has a lot of good opinions, but not consistently good opinions. He reminds me a lot of how many viewed Russell Brand or maybe Joe Rogan years ago. When good opinions come from a shallow philosophical framework, always expect things to go sideways eventually.
It might be a schtick, but their public facade never entirely detached from their actual identity. Also, isn’t that what everyone does to some extent?

Well yeah, it ain’t happening since the US ain’t cutting off all support for Israel. That is known and countries have shaped their strategies around it. The US abandoning Israel would be a table flipping event.
Russia would be importing weapons tech from Israel. Israel can’t come close to matching Russia on production volume, and Israel’s needs are a sliver of what Russia uses in Ukraine.

She was certainly on the “acceptable” list. Then Biden turned around and called for increased police funding. They are clowns.
The same cell might be even better.
I’m almost certain that Harris was the establishment’s first choice in 2020, but the only time she generated any support at all was when she went after Biden for racist bussing policy. They couldn’t throw it to her, so they picked Biden and gave her the VP spot. I honestly doubt Biden has a whole lot of say in the matter. It was probably part of the deal when they had the rest of the establishment candidates abruptly drop out and endorse Biden. I don’t think the establishment has given up on Harris yet.
LOL, like Congress isn’t complicit. The Republicans are fully behind Israel starting WW3 to bring Jesus back, and Democrats are split, but will never impeach Biden over it.
I have no idea what to do about Biden, but an impeachment over this is a fantasy. The 2020 primary was our shot, and we blew it. The Biden presidency will be what it will be, but we can’t let Democratic voters forget their failure. Neoliberalism will end, or it will end us. It might already have done so, but time will tell.
For all the carnage that’s happened and all the carnage that’s about to happen, we need to (rhetorically) beat the neoliberals over the head for the 2020 primary. I don’t know if Bernie could have stopped any of this, but at least our hands would be clean. Fuck the notion that neoliberals are somehow “good enough”. They throw us a bone from time to time, but ultimately the only thing they are capable of generating in the long term is absolute disaster.
As bad as FISA is, it at least has the value of hindering Russian intelligence. Democrats took the poison of the neoliberal elites, and Republicans took the position of Russia and Putin. Neither party is fully aware that the rest of America even exists.

How did you get from a vote on a particular wording of a particular resolution to “not supporting Israel”? Where did I say that anyone said the revolution would “fix everything”?
When someone says that an abstention from a vote is “kissing Netanyaho’s ass”, it seems pretty apparent that the consider a lack of a yes vote as a moral failing.
Maybe it’s a reaction to the ignorant self righteous ignorant fury that’s been flooding every discussion on Palestine for months. That kind of mass delusion doesn’t respond to carefully parsed polite responses. In any case, I’ve gotten tired of pretending it’s not idiotic.
I got banned for spreading “disinformation” about how badly the war with Ukraine is going for Russia.
