LIBERAL IDIOCY

David Pakman is a liberal who claims that Marxism-Leninism is a failure and has nothing in common with socialism, while utopian socialism, anarchism and “democratic socialism” are fantastic successes. As his evidence he says “Orwell said so”. However, Pakman is not a supporter of any kind of socialism, he merely advocates for those things to steer people away from Marxism.

PATRICE GREANVILLE—For some time now Mark Ruffalo has stood out as one of Hollywood’s most acerbic critics of Israel. The latest event, currently in an official “cease fire”,  an outrage clearly provoked by Israel’s policies originating in its Zionist vision for that region, made Ruffalo come out and declare that Israel was engaging in genocide. The response from the always hypersensitive Zionist lobby must have been swift and strong because within a couple of days Ruffalo resurfaced to offer a shameful apology. Obviously, as Jimmy Dore put it in his show a few days back (a rather long segment that has now curiously vanished from YouTube) Ruffalo was confronted with a clear ultimatum: apologise in no uncertain terms, eat your words, or else you’re finished in Hollywood. Ruffalo apparently thought career, wealth and fame were more important to him than principle. The upshot is this ugly episode now making the rounds, with a plethora of Zionists gloating over Ruffalo’s pathetic and clearly imposed cave-in.  Too bad that Ruffalo failed the test. But then again it was always too much to expect a Hollywood shitlib to rise to the challenge. Principles are tested when the game gets rough, when a real price is to be paid, not when it’s easy and there are no unpleasant repercussions. For the nth time we see again that liberals can’t be trusted.

ALAN MACLEOD—Maher rose from being an “edgy,” opinionated comedian to becoming one of the most influential and recognizable faces in our media. His political talk show, Real Time With Bill Maher, has been on HBO since 2003, spanning 17 seasons with over 500 episodes to date. Real Time continues to be one of the most popular shows on cable TV, drawing in more than 4 million viewers per episode, according to a new New York Times interview (9/30/19),

An Associated Press spokesperson confirmed to SFGATE that Wilder “was dismissed for violations of AP’s social media policy during her time at AP,” but did not address any other issue Wilder raised, stating that the AP generally does not comment on personnel matters. Wilder said that because her editor originally noted that “everyone had opinions in college,” she sees her firing as selective enforcement against those who have expressed criticisms of Israel. “This is clearly a case of selective enforcement,” she said. “I don’t buy their convenient cover story at all because they never told me what specifically I did wrong, and in the termination letter, they said the harassment campaign prompted the review, and in that review they found supposed violations of their policy.

GLENN GREENWALD—The advent of the internet has empowered the riff-raff, the peasants, the unlicensed and the uncredentialed — those who in the past were blissfully silent and invisible — to be heard, often with irreverence and even contempt for those who wield the greatest societal privileges, such as a star New York Times reporter. By recasting themselves as oppressed, abused and powerless rather than what they are (powerful oppressors who sometimes abuse their power), elite political and media luminaries seek to completely reverse the dynamic.
