I just found a whole new genre of Youtube vids: Americans experiencing Akala for the first time. :slight_smile:

In today’s Twitter drama, the white Clintonite liberals are stomping on Queer and Black people because they’re upset that Bernie is one of many speakers at a feminist conference.

Some context in this thread:

Something of a racial split on the McGowan-solidarity Twitter boycott, too.

Does Fox realize that this organization that created this report is the political wing of a Islamic-Marxist organization?

Because this is all sorts of fucking hilarious if they don’t…

I’m reminded of the assorted stories about right wing Americans traveling to Kurdistan to fight ISIS, only to flee in horror when they discovered that the Kurds were left wing feminists…

Indeed!

I’m taking this over to the other place, because it’s just too amazing a find. I hope you don’t mind, @emo_pinata!

There’s a vague story buzzing around Twitter about allegations of abusive misogynistic shittyness by one of the Redneck Revolt leaders. Unsure yet if it’s genuine or fascist slander, no idea how the rest of RR will respond if it’s legit.

The stories are coming from apparently leftist accounts, but they’re suspiciously new accounts that I’m unfamiliar with. And the fascists are already promoting the story themselves.

I think Fox is reporting what the US government told them with some detail, which makes it even funnier really. Trump’s administration is using the Marxist organization to generate an extremely vague report on Iran’s nuclear proliferation and using Fox News as their exclusive mouthpiece.

“Of course, it’s a great thing that groups like Our Revolution, which sprung out of Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign, are bringing money, volunteers, and national attention to candidates like Woodfin. But the top-down narrative misses a lot about what is happening on the ground around the country. For starters, it misses the movements that shifted politics to the point where someone like Sanders could run for president and win state after state in the first place. More important, it misses the specifics—the ideas, the tactics, the challenges to existing political hegemonies—that have made these campaigns successful. And telling the story wrong lessens the chances that these unlikely wins can be replicated elsewhere.”

Some of this thread will probably irritate some folks, but it’s a good demonstration of why the Black left is ferociously pissed at the middle-class White liberals, particularly those of the Clinonite persuasion.
