  • The national kind, yeah. Common knowledge. See above statement about how awful he was.

    I am aware you’re specifically referring to rush’s specifically anti-socialist dint. But by suggesting he was a fan of socialism, you’re committing to the same fallacy as he tended to, where he would equate socialists (from USSR so obviously they are mega socialist, and fans of the purges, read authortarians) with actual socialist ideology.

    The grand irony of rush is that his solution to authoritarianism was authoritarianism.











  • You say all that and manage to miss that R doesnt just not have progressive goals, it has regressive goals. This is you right now: “hey everyone, Democats are as bad (or.maybe worse cause we dont know everything they are lying about) as the republicans. You shouldn’t participate in national politics.” Literally everyone knows Harris and waltz are liars. You’re not bringing anything helpful to the table here, and it just makes you sound… Well… Stupid. Sometimes the “w” is just “fine let’s at least try to get abortion rights in the constitution” ormaybe “yay the people that PUBLISHED their plan to destroy the constitution and prop up project 2025 didn’t get voted in!”


  • Can you share context? Chompsky is pretty focused on US politics, and genocide elsewhere may be a “not my bad, man. I talk about US politics, and am not gonna spend time on a situations where the US isn’t involved” which would be a reasonable reason to avoid the topic, or were they “f those guys, the power behind it is anti american.”

    The only info I can find is that he cagey about callkn something “genocide” in case its not the actual definition. Check his takes on the Uyghurs, he seems to want to be able to fully establish what’s occurring before labelling it genocide.
