NGL I am fuming right now. Candace Owens gave Norm Finkelstein a platform in November 2023 when she was still at the Daily Wire, when no other mainstream outlet would touch him. Tucker Carlson took his camera into a Qatari hospital for Gaza’s war victims. Where no other mainstream media outlet would have dreamed to go. MTG was retweeting Gaza Notifications from her *main* account as a sitting member of Congress. When so-called pro-Pal Democrats were posting bullshit platitudes from their secondary accounts like the cowards they are. None of these people have ever asked for recognition or rewards for this advocacy. They simply did it because it was the right thing to do. And unlike Democrat activists whose profiles are mostly boosted by this advocacy, all of the people on the Right have faced mountains of criticism from the left, right and center for their advocacy. So how fking dare Finkelstein, or ANYONE ELSE, accuse them of “sinister plots” now. How dare he. This is disgusting.

@timburchett Hey.. can you address why you think antisemitism is a growing issue? Seems like there’s a very important distinction to be made between antisemitism and anti Zionism.

@putxiwhipped6 @Villgecrazylady Idk what works anymore. I know ppl in power lie and apparently do bad things to children. My comment was just pointing out what drives him is his loyalty to the cause. It’s his motivator rather than making friends.. no judgment either way. It’s a respectable quality, devotion.

@Timcast The fact that ppl will believe this before they believe the government let big pharma poison the world populations by coercion is just astounding… but a fact it is.

@paulg Hitler was also left, just a different type of left. Hardcore socialist.

Something I told 14 yo: There's a kind of politician who tells people "Your life is bad because <outgroup> stole what's rightfully yours. Vote for me and I'll get it back for you." They do it on both the left (Lenin) and right (Hitler), and they're invariably bad news.

@AlaskaBird__ @rittmeister_11 If you understand 4D chess, you know he never changed positions on starting no new wars, releasing the Epstein files, deporting illegal immigrants working on farms, cutting wasteful spending, and spying on Americans. But some of us aren’t that good at understanding 4D chess.

I just feel like “The Golden Age of America” would have included an affordable housing market and lower gas prices. 🤷‍♂️

@manymiaows @Villgecrazylady Ehhh nuance and character limits don’t make for great bedfellows. The great downside of social media is the death of fireside conversations.

@sp2020sts @Villgecrazylady Maybe so, but laying the blame on socialism, broad as it is, is a mistake and it’s the same argument that he’s using for TC and CO. “Don’t trust them, they’re right wingers.” I expected a better analysis from him, frankly.

@manymiaows @Villgecrazylady I think we view politics as far less existential than he does. For him policy change is the next step toward revolution. I have observed through most of his interviews that he seems to be a true believer in revolutionary change.

@sp2020sts @Villgecrazylady I don’t know why he did it. He has a long, complicated, history on this topic, though I think he should have been more tactful about his concerns. He went on CO’s show knowing about her politics, and pre-interviewed with TC, so I doubt it’s simply about political positions.

@SikhFeminist Orrrrrr… we could read his books and understand the way he thinks so that the next giant trend that pushes his ideals to the forefront won’t take us by surprise and we know how to respond. 🤷🏻‍♀️ even bad song writers have one hit wonders.

@manymiaows @Villgecrazylady I think he did it bc his driving motivator is his political belief system. He believes that their core values are skewed by self identifying as“right wing.” Useful platform does not equal friends. He doesn’t trust they want to “learn.” His background justifies his skepticism.

@sp2020sts @Villgecrazylady He’s a Trotskyite. A genuine Marxist-Leninist understands the importance of alliances with people like MTG, Tucker, Candace, etc. They are against the establishment. Their posture in politics is positive.

@AnaKasparian @Villgecrazylady He is a good little c old school communist. He does not trust anyone on the right, and probably bc of his unique background is loyal to the cause over the individual. It’s not surprising if you’ve read his books. Kinda gross but to be expected. His cause is his number one goal.

@Villgecrazylady No reason to be mad. He’s always been a socialist. He did what socialists do. He has a cause he thinks higher than loyalty to strangers. 🤷🏻‍♀️ a broken clock is right twice a day.

@Villgecrazylady I was initially very angry when i watched it, but he’s a true believer. We should’ve seen that coming 😂
