Jacobin: Why the Twitter Files Are in Fact a Big DealOn the Left, there’s been a temptation to dismiss the revelations about Twitter’s internal censorship system that have emerged from the so-called Twitter Files project. But that would be a mistake: the news is important and the details are alarming.
So glad Kermit the Frog’s included in the monthly men’s magazine as a part of your damning “proof”, just in case anyone gets bored and wants to take a break from the US State Department slop you’re serving
yes, normally that would be dumb and stupid… but guess what’s dumber and stupider? It’s entertaining this widely debunked copium, which is very much encapsulated with this dumb ad.
The claim over whether Donald Trump is officially employed by Russia misses the structural and materialist analysis of imperialism and class interests. The global capitalist class, particularly those in positions of concentrated wealth and power, does not require formal employment to align their actions or interests.
Trump’s alignment with Putin’s authoritarian model and policies beneficial to Russia could easily stem from overlapping class interests, ideological affinity, or even strategic manipulation (eg., blackmail or kompromat). These dynamics are more indicative of how imperialist powers operate than any need for formal employment. To focus on whether Trump receives a paycheck from Moscow is to obfuscate the larger systemic issues: the shared objectives of reactionary elites to consolidate power and suppress working-class movements.
Framing such alliances as conspiracies diverts attention from the deeper critique of capitalism and imperialism.
It doesn’t surprise me that you would write someone off as a conspiracy theorist, so I don’t take much issues with your opinion on that.
There is most certainly foreign issues imposing their will on the US, some are successful some are not. this is no different than another country, it’s how Geo-politics works.
When Trump meets with putin, both sides will try to impose there policies on each other.
Then there is the darker side of this with foreign propaganda being injected into things like social media to influence the opinion of the general public.
It can definitely be both.
No, it can’t. And it’s not.
How so?
There isnt any reason why it can’t be both, and in my opinion it very much is.
No. Trump is not employed by the Russian government and the idea he is is a conspiracy theory on par with pizzagate or birtherism.
Got any proof of that?
Because if not, then you’re pushing your own conspiracy theory on par with pizzagate or birtherism.
Trump is a known Russian asset.
Want more? There’s more.
America shit the bed, sure, absolutely. No disagreement here. This does not mean that we didn’t shit the bed with assistance.

“This article cannot be true because it contains an ad on the page” 🙄
Yes that’s very sane and reasonable of you

Telling that you intend Davel’s post absolutely destroying yours.
This might literally be the single stupidest attempt at a “no, U!” that anyone has ever done.

Ok, then I’m going to write you off as the mad conspiracy theorist that you are, no different to a QAnoner or a birtherist.
And no, there are not “foreign issues that as imposing there will on the US.”, that’s wild projection.
