i also refuse to not vote my conscience but i figured this time its not like doing this abstract process to pick if id prefer -100 points vs -200 points is gonna matter that much if i genuinely believe itll even be slightly better under kamala i might as well
Noam was always dog of american regime, just his leash was fairly long. But when in his decrepit age had one good take about Ukraine, he was immediately cancelled by the cointelpro bog.
Maybe so, but as far as I know he wasn’t sufficiently rich to need to go to Little St. James, nor did he have to say “none of your damn business” in a snippy way when asked about it.
I don’t understand those references.
Yeah, and the moment when it was revealed the anti-authoritarian left lifted a bit of their Ukraine damnatio memoriae to defend him lol. Makes you wonder.
Sometimes “anti-authoritarian” just means “DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOO” apparently.
Remember the “School is authoritarian” struggle session?
Which one?
The one that devolved into calling each other reactionary
I am an elementary school teacher oops
