It’s always funny (in a gross way) when Zionists come out gatekeeping Zionistm from tacitly Zionist liberals. They just can’t contain the bloodthirst

Thoughts on Klippenstein leaving The Intercept to become a fearless truth teller on Substack? Taibbi and Lee Fang and The Intercept gang like Greenwald all strike me as narrative pinball machine bumper removed intelligence community patrons. But Klippenstein is visibly one of the least ghoulish. Did I miss him being a gigantic lib? I don’t really follow journalists obsessively but hopefully you do.

But this is about directly attacking Heidegger’s labrynthine bullshit, for what it’s worth. It’s not just about pointing out the man hid his Nazi past and others were complicit in this deception. It’s about refuting the actual bullshittery itself and explaining how it’s been picked up by numerous other schools of thought throughout the “anti-authoritarian” left and liberals.

Edit: Oh I thought this was a reply to the other article. Yeah reading about some of the stuff Adorno wrote was really shocking considering how people presented him to me as some quirky cultural critic.

Sure, but when leaving The Intercept he doesn’t really extensively call out their shady ties to CIA linked financiers, or their agreements to vet their leaks with the intelligence community and try to make sure those leaks never impact the safety of spies, which sounds like such a broad excuse, and even when Assange was idealistic enough to try that shit it wasn’t treated as a tit-for-tat exchange, The Guardian, NYT, et al ignored the gesture and still dragged him as a seditious criminal etc. It’s not like Klippenstein is mentioning they probably got that drone whistleblower locked up. He just gestures to them having sold out now? Weren’t they always sellouts to Omidyar and the rest of the intelligence community?

Adam Johnson also has terminal journalism brain so I guess that makes sense

I also read Taibbi + Lee Fang even if they’re really annoying and seem to be spinning disclosures a certain way to attach them to feuding online cliques and mute their impact, idk. Sensationalism is a weird kind of muting but it works really well in addition to blacking out important stuff from the media

all of these costs are absolutely dwarfed by the medical, legal, rent, and debt expenses americans pay, I don’t really get why discussion like this is happening in the context of average income figures?? in a country with such extreme inequality

Because he is individually responsible for genocide in Cambodia and Vietnam of course

Sure, I do the same thing of including people who are informative, or forums which I have seen specifically named by Israeli intelligence orgs for monitoring and infiltration (Sino Defence Forum etc.) if they’re helpful enough. Those intel orgs are on Mastodon so I can assume they are here in some capacity - they bill themselves as having enough resources and manpower to do pretty much anything NATO+ feds require stalking-wise from age 15-up developing profiles on people. I guess I was curious what quirks Klippenstein might have in the same way that - for instance - someone like John Kiriakou has an odd affection and history with RFK Jr. that just screams fed. Or Aaron Mate being weirdly confrontational about “conspiracy theories” on ex-Twitter. I swear Russia Today is riddled with US assets. Maybe I’ve lost the plot.

Nervously comparing China’s economic situation to Japan is not going to help convince them to commit economic suicide, Reuters.
