I can’t assume you understand my viewpoint because you selectively quote my words to change their meaning, put words in my mouth and dodge questions i ask (just like youre accusing me of here!).
I never said that all the establishment unfriendly media was getting banned. I said that there’s an active campaign to control media that includes a tiktok ban. I asked you what establishment unfriendly media isn’t getting banned in order to look at those examples, their reach, their position and alignment relative to the american political system and their level of consent or hand in glove cooperation with the american political system.
the point of that is to illustrate how there is cooperation between the american political system and media, how there is control exerted by the political system on that media and when those two are not present, that media is not allowed when it cannot be minimized or silenced.
compared to how the regime responded to the rail strike, it’s unimportant how it responded to other labor actions that didn’t threaten it.
the rail strike was an action that opposed and threatened the biden administration. the other labor actions you bring up were not an imminent danger to the regime. at best that could be interpreted in the words of the reverend doctor as a desire for the absence of conflict over the presence of justice.
a more realistic outlook might be that the biden administration cynically viewed a powerful labor action as something to be crushed when it’s in opposition to that administration as opposed to representative of a core value or even a necessary constituency.
what is the greater measure of a mans values, how he responds to something when given time and resources and under no imminent pressure or how he responds when threatened? what is the greater measure of an organization made up of many men?
how can you possibly get mad at me for implying you haven’t read a book as milquetoast as manufacturing consent when you take blinken at face value and agree with him that tiktok is too emotional to be treated like other “informative” sources when those “informative” sources express IDF actions in the passive voice?
i’ll end by combining our two great tastes, restating myself, selectively quoting myself, and asking some questions:
you brought up trump and made a metaphor to explain how voting for Biden is necessary (one that minimized a genocide!) so let’s talk about trump. Do you truly believe that he’s an existential threat to America? What do you think will happen if trump is declared the loser? Is there a red line Biden could cross that would make you abandon voting for him against trump and instead vote for the third party you actually believe in?
