It’s actually impressive to me how the West and its satellites are able to so impressively compartmentalize their propagandistic narratives in the service of war and imperialism, even digging up shit like this when “hindsight” is supposed to be a thing. It’s not like this ended in any case. They will support Chechen freedom fighters against RuZZian orcs one day while also emphasizing Israel as a bulwark against radical Islamic hordes the next.

      Their family history was most likely heavily sanitized after 1989. Everyone up to three generations back are supposedly genetic patriots who fought against ebil Soviet menace. Of course nobody like to mention about his uncle who was MBP soldier fighting against fascist forest bandits after WW2, but he’s been sanitized too, just as his two other uncles being officers of Polish People’s Army, or his parents who were allegedly chummy with socialist security service and mysteriously got rich in 1989.

      Just typical story of 3RP professional politician.

    They are literally calling him based for using the N word, and they say that the Saur Revolution was Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Every day the line between neolibs and fascists becomes blurier.

        Neoliberals and fascists fundamentally have the same political beliefs but have a disagreement over their application. The neoliberals believing in a softer hand so as not to provoke a left reaction, the fascists however have no such qualms about provoking a reaction and instead want to pursue their goals with full and complete force. Fascists are more likely to destroy themselves rapidly by going too far whereas neoliberals at least understand something about how tightening the contradictions too much will hurt them.

      Speaking of, my first exposure to Hasan is when he got that TYT show, and debated Cenk about capitalism, and then it immediately got canned, because he said 'America deserved 9/11’.

      They trotted him out to apologize and basically publicly humiliate him in the process.

      But now that Hasan has gotten so big, on his own, I think you can tell Cenk is super fucking insecure about it, and it’s so fucking funny
