Former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent sharing Iranian state-linked outlet nonsense claiming, falsely, that the US was trying to kill the then-lost US pilot. Aged rather poorly, I think it's fair to say.

At the time of this post from DropSite (the Soros-funded pro-terror propaganda outlet) promoting a regime lie that we had abandoned our pilot and were trying to kill him, we were in the middle of a successful recovery operation. I hope this wakes people up to the fact that this is all an information war and certain people are actively an daily promoting lies from a terrorist regime and an alternative reality because it better fits the narrative they want people to believe.

Tu viens de résumer la théorie de la valeur-travail de Marx. Je vais t’expliquer pourquoi elle a été réfutée il y a 130 ans, sans méchanceté. L’idée que la valeur vient du travail a un problème fondamental. Si je passe 400 heures à construire une chaise moche que personne veut acheter, elle vaut pas plus qu’une chaise construite en 2 heures que tout le monde s’arrache. La valeur ne vient pas du temps passé. Elle vient de ce que quelqu’un est prêt à payer. C’est la révolution marginaliste de 1871 (Menger, Jevons, Walras), confirmée par Böhm-Bawerk en 1896 qui a formellement démoli la théorie valeur-travail. C’est pas un débat ouvert. C’est réglé depuis plus d’un siècle dans la littérature économique. Maintenant “le propriétaire extorque la plus-value”. Extorquer implique une contrainte. Or un contrat de travail est volontaire. Personne te force à signer. Tu peux partir demain. Tu peux monter ta propre boîte. Tu peux devenir freelance. Et surtout, le propriétaire ne “prend” rien. Il prend un risque. Il avance le capital. Il paie les salaires AVANT que le produit soit vendu. Si la boîte fait faillite, le salarié touche son chômage. Le propriétaire perd tout. Ses économies, son temps, parfois sa maison. La “plus-value” que tu décris, c’est la rémunération de ce risque. Sans quelqu’un pour avancer le capital et organiser la production, le travailleur produit rien du tout. Demande à n’importe quel freelance : le plus dur c’est pas de faire le travail, c’est de trouver le client et de structurer l’offre. Dernier point. Si le travail seul produisait la richesse, les pays avec le plus de travailleurs seraient les plus riches. L’Inde et le Bangladesh auraient un PIB par habitant supérieur à la Suisse. C’est évidemment pas le cas. Ce qui fait la différence c’est le capital, l’innovation, l’organisation, et les institutions. Je te dis ça sans animosité. La théorie valeur-travail est séduisante parce qu’elle est simple et qu’elle a un héros (le travailleur) et un méchant (le patron). Mais la réalité économique est plus nuancée que ça.

Jackson Hinkle is a self-described Marxist-Leninist and is a founder of the American Communist Party. Labeling him as right wing is insane.

@Osinttechnical I can’t wait to read the 5,000 Twitter military experts explaining how losing a Slim Jim is a sign the war is lost and the American empire is in decline

Iranian forces managed to capture an MRE teriyaki beef stick at the American forward base in Isfahan.

I love these goofy anti-education losers because they think you just rocked up with a chisel at 18 and someone said 'ok so do what you want, enjoy, cathedral there please'. The guilds and apprenticeships were hardcore. It was a degree, as we'd understand it, and highly specialised

America First bros when they heard the pilot was rescued

Shout out to the 24 y/o European males learning their people would do an equipment risk calculation vs their life if shit goes hot

@Arrogance_0024 "The US is weak because it doesn't leave its men to die in enemy territory based on a cost/benefit analysis" is an extremely French take.

On the morning of 9/11, I stopped in at a neighbor’s house around the corner in Brooklyn—he was (and still is) one of the greatest musicians in the world. He said he didn’t understand what all the fuss was about, since “they’re just buildings.” I left, scratching my head at how anyone could be so totally obtuse. This tweet reminded me of that story.

Busted.

This is a good point anyone who dislikes Hasan is paid for by Israel, because Hasan is the only person criticizing Israel and therefore if he is discredited there won't be any criticism of Israel

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

@kirilkrill @jessesingal he is on the right of every fucking republic in ukraine man not a single republican would’ve justified crimea annexation or called it russian territory. he is the nazi on this topic LOL

2/ And everyone knows that if someone coded center-left rather than socialist said shit 20% as offensive as Hasan had, there's be a massive backchannel effort to make it very costly to associate with him in any way. This is all very bad-faith.

So we went in, built a secret base to land our aircraft, IN IRAN, WSO evades 7k feet up a mountain, we send in PJ’s and other SOF to get him, waste some IRGC dudes, planes get stuck at base, we blow them, get ALL our guys out safe, and all the sand people get for a “trophy” are a set of American flag undies. That is the biggest fuck you in the history of the world. 🇺🇸
