      Critical support to the Ultra that’s wasting millions of Imperial funds by having an FBI, a Homeland Security, a CIA and an NSA agent spying on them reading Bordiga in an armchair.

        Maybe it’s time to not focus on Little Luigi and his motives but start making it about wasting millions of Imperial funds by having the FBI, Homeland Security, CIA and NSA and every cop in the country look for someone who only killed ONE guy.
        Can we have a justification for why only a rich victim deserves all these resources?

    How dare you, I have done plenty of praxis.

    As the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Wyoming (Posadist), I led the charge in breaking away from the revisionist Communist Party of Wyoming (Maoist Third Worldist) and calling Hasan Piker (or someone that resembles Hasan Piker) a lib on the street.

        I also still don’t believe this Luigi guy is not just a patsy. So much shit is inconsistent, or just plain weird about this whole thing, and I would not at all put it past the NYPD to just act on a tip on someone that vaguely looks like one of the two, also inconsistent supposed pictures of the alleged shooter, and plant a gun and a hastily drawn up manifesto just so they can pretend they didn’t get bamboozled and give anyone else ideas.

          He already refuted the police’s claims of what he had on him when arrested, claiming they must have planted the money and denying that he had a faraday bag. I could see it being him, but it definitely seems a bit convenient. It’ll be interesting to see the trial if they let it be public

            I am not speculating as to motives or the guy’s politics, but way too much shit doesn’t add up. All I am saying is the NYPD are corrupt as fuck and I wouldn’t put it past them to try to put this matter to rest by railroading some random guy.

              My gut tells me that this is copium because those eyebrows are very distinctive and I think Chris Moltisanti was out of town at the time

              still you could be right

            I feel like ‘conspiracy’ is a strong word to be using here — police will very often collar anyone they can for a high profile murder, because the overriding priority is to catch someone asap. We don’t know tha’s what happened here, but we don’t know that these particular cops eat donuts either

          Sure, go nuts on conspiracy theories and wild infantile speculation based on nothing but your wild imagination.
          It serves no purpose since we don’t know the facts (yet). But anyway you can remove this comment for pointing that out as you usually do.
          They made you a mod after all. (for some reason?!!)

      JT going from making amusing apolitical science videos to tanking his own ad revenue and Curiositystream bux by pivoting to anti-capitalist content is the antithesis for general sellouty-ness of American leftists but yeah there is a trend.

        Yeah I definitely respect the genuine believers like JT but even the people that are partly doing it for the money I don’t really blame them. And even some people like Hasan (who I genuinely respect and recognize has done a lot of good and far more good than I’ll ever do) have some really dumb takes (specifically about his wealthy lifestyle and how he justifies it, but failing to recognize there is a valid criticism and its environmental and not monetary because the environment can’t support a lot of first world lifestyles). We are all capitalist subjects and pretty coerced into most of what we do so I don’t actually have too much shade for the lefty media ecosystem. At least what they’re putting out is good. Sellouts that go pure right wing are just trash obviously.

        A bit rambling but I do find the streamer podcast etc phenomenon interesting. Like it’s so much a parasocial thing.

      twitch stream/YouTube channel/podcast

      I honestly think these things are the modern equivalent of the newspaper. In many cases reaching many more people. The issue however is pace of content production doesn’t match print whatsoever. Several of these should have drastically expanded their operations using extra income that they don’t personally need in order to produce content at the kind of rate it deserves. But instead of expanding the operation many are just pocketing it like every independent streamer is.

      which person seems more likely,

      an american with a jumbled set of contradictory beliefs

      or, an american with a principled understanding of a political theory (but not that principled, cus this is still adventurism)
