His most public social media is nothing but endless dunks on Dems with completely dishonest out of context clips. Greenwald wrote a literal book attacking the right wing and look at him now. You ever think for a second after maybe the tenth grifter follows this EXACT path that maybe it's too easy to take the Left for a ride? It's the exact Greenwald trajectory and a sure sign Klippenstein doesn't actually give a shit. You wanna talk about his journalism, because he focused a LOT on bashing Dems for shit he doesn't cover for Republicans? We're just gonna have to agree to disagree on how much he attacks the right vs shitting on Dems, especially when you seem to be arguing about his "trajectory" not even what he's currently doing. I'm really bad at using social media and I haven't seen anything he's posted himself basically. My whole point is that it SHOULD be a controversial statement and it's a moral and policy failure that it isn't because most of our politicians support endless police wars. Military action against cartels is not good or justified, in reality or hypothetically. Klippenstein is popular because he's a journalist willing to say that when most would take a line closer to what you have. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

legendary_zell 10/09/25 2:40:04 PM #46 | LightSnake posted... You know what DOES stop him from being such a critic? I didn't know some of the stupid stuff he's said, but I just took a look at his substack. Damn near every article I can see on there is a direct attack on this administration for being fascist. In every Youtube/podcast appearance I've heard him on, he's attacked the right. I've never been a twitter user and maybe I'm not reading it right, but 99% of his posts under the post tab or hot posts are attacking Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Musk, or the Supreme Court. He is not the same as Gaetz or Greenwald. No, he's a journalist. He's a reporter. He has worked for major publications. Stop bullshitting me, you're better than this. You know what damages a reporter/journalist's reputation and credibility?I'm assuming you're talking about him dunking on Dems on Twitter, not what he says when he's writing as a journalist for one of these major publications. The reason we're talking about him at all right now is that he's figured out that you need to straddle the line between shitposter and serious journalist to actually get any buzz in this godawful media environment. Oh, you didn't? I'd need to know more about this but doesn't look good. I don't see how that makes criticism of a literal CIA agent Democrat who seems to be implying that it would be okay to go to war with cartels so long as there's a vote. That's not okay, vote or no vote, and it shouldn't be hard for the Democrats to say so. We don't need to go to war with the cartels in Mexico. People want no new wars. Say that. If you want to make the point about Congressional power, make that point, don't tie it to warmongering. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

legendary_zell 10/09/25 1:49:19 PM #42 | LightSnake posted... This is just not true. Actually, it's just a falsehood. Doing other stupid or bad things or being inconsistent doesn't stop him from being one of the bigger critics of the universal, largely bipartisan creeping security state. Dems are too old and he should be talking about Trump's blatant decline even more.
Because he's an internet commentator. In or out of context clips don't change the fact that the vast majority of these politicians do actively support or do nothing to oppose the security state.
I don't know anything about that. If that's true and it was truly apologia, then that's indefensible. Doesn't make his criticisms in 2025 any less valid. It just shows he's capable of being extremely wrong. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |

Because many Dems are trash on the issues he focuses on, especially things involving foreign policy and the security/surveillance state.

Topic | If Democrats ever get into power again, what needs to be done to end fascism? |
legendary_zell 09/18/25 9:23:52 AM #61 | Conservatives understand and have long term plans to destroy, weaken, and compromise institutions and organizations that challenge their power or that produce the type of people that oppose them. That's why they target schools, colleges, non-profits, government workers, unions, the media, etc. They want to actively create a populous that never thinks of anything other than being conservative and that is scared of and angry at even the suggestion of other ways of thinking. People who oppose that need to actively create a society geared towards maximizing solidarity through all the same institutions with the same intensity. And the pillars of the fascist mindset need to be taken down. Right wing dominance over media has to be addressed first and foremost. Education standards need to be high and universal and focused on critical thinking and the humanities. Those are the two most important things long term. Next is concentration of wealth and corporate power. In the short term, there needs to be immediate, severe consequences for everyone who enabled the actions currently taking place. Consequences so severe and that go from top to bottom so that no one will ever think fascism pays. We cannot repeat the mistakes of Reconstruction. We will need a Reconstruction after this. But it can't also be sticks, there needs to be carrots that convince ordinary people to reject fascism by meeting their material needs. Moving away from fascism needs to be a lot more attractive than staying trapped in it by upping the cost of staying and increasing the benefits of leaving. --- We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. |
