i don't like the tautology of why certain people are "allowed" to be speakers in the public eye. for example, you can say that zizek is allowed to be popular because he looks and talks like a homeless clown and can thus be easily dismissed and presents no threat to capitalism. on the other hand, you can say that glenn greenwald is "allowed" to because he is "the most sober white man" in a grey suit. well, which is it? and who would not be allowed to be a popular figure? a coked out, gibbering iconoclast who looks and dresses like a german insurance adjuster?

it was weird seeing greenwald on the main tv channel here (it's a private reactionary mouthpiece that functions like a cartoonish banana republic's lone channel in how it holds sway over what will be discussed - and it loves the us)

it was like different worlds colliding. Like if Chomsky had Lisa Ann and Shaq on his lap while Oprah interviewed him, then tpaine calls in playing youtubes over the phone

my favorite jingoist stdh was some guy comes up to a pacifist protesting the nascent war in afghanistan and the guy punches the protestor in the face repeatedly as hard as he can to demonstrate that sometimes you gotta use violence. that protestor was jesus christ

I have noticed spambots quoting Noam Chomsky in the comments sections of blog articles. I'm not sure what it means when the dick pill robots have more intelligent contributions to make than humanity

i try not to upvote your posts, even when they are hilarious, because i feel it sends you the wrong message, cleaving you from your wife and child, encouraging you to post among failtards and fucknuts instead of #winning at life

propaganda has always been about saturation and framing, not necessarily outright censorship

a ratio of one "anti-capitalist" for thirty to three hundred clips on false consciousness plus don't forget we have to break for commercials and tune in tonight for our documentary on how torturing people is a Bad Idea for Our Nation's Finest

edit: at least they pureed it

He changed his name to Brianna because he had a crush on a fellow journalist student named "Bryan."


He lived in the building behind mine and would blast Madonna constantly and would leave all of his windows and balcony completely open while he danced. I remember he had some sort of girlie looking dog that always had a "someone please rescue me from this freak" look on its face. We called the dog Precious because of its similarity to the dog in Silence of the Lambs and Flynt's similarity to Buffalo Bill.


Turns out, a year prior, he'd come in wanting the dm to run a comic strip that he was doing. When he was told they weren't interested, he flipped out. He called one of the workers a fat dyke, and when Dr. Husni came to her defense, he called him a "raghead" and a "sand n****r." They got a restraining order to keep him away from Farley, but when they moved to Bishop, it no longer applied, and he was actually able to weasel back in to working for the SMC.

i was reading a thing about college rape and it said that 44% of US college students meet the definition of binge drinkers. i would suggest that maybe college rape has less to do with the invisible force field known as patriarchy and more to do with people being drunk out of their minds all the time. of course you can't have a serious conversation about prohibition anymore because right-wing propaganda has completely convinced the left that prohibition failed.

maybe both definitions are bullshit

#676
oh for sure, it's more a "where there's smoke there's fire" thing, lots of people are clearly drinking to get drunk, which is immoral, and we should do something about it instead of letting the rape train continue.

i googled this and it was interesting because it looks like for days the "movement" was arguing crazily over whether they should focus on attacking this person to "advance" their "cause" or whether it was some sort of trap laid for them to ruin their reputation with the press, and of course the answer is that the people worrying over it have no hope of being seen by the press as anything but a gang of enraged stalkers, it's over for them and has been for months and it was always about feeling important and never about achieving anything, so there is no reason to have a debate about this, it's like a Louisiana KKK meeting about the proper language to use to endorse slavery on CNN when they finally land the Blitzer interview
