War Room Lounge v146: Federal Goon used "Bludgeon"! But it's not that effective...

Probably right.

I'm in a pretty bad headspace today, so things seem worse than they are.

No, you're right that Trump is absolutely trying to make it out as a warzone.... when it's actually like 100 protesters out of a city of 8,000,000. That 99% of city residents will never see.

Also, I hate the "Chiraq" term. Not because I have any care for the city's reputation but because it's terribly racist and flippant about the millions of people America has killed.

Ever think about joining the YPG?

Have for years. There was a group called the Lions of Rojava that helped Westerners with all the paperwork and getting over there. Essentially you tweeted and did interviews from the front lines to raise awareness for the struggle.

A little after Kobane they went dark. I'm sure you remember the Swedish dudes who were fighting over there they were a part of the LoR.

Except he just agreed with me.

You know exactly what I agreed with lol.

It’s completely disheartening, but also if it finally starts getting the conservative talk radio followers to actually do something I’ll take it

My boss today went on a rant about how Dr. Fauci created Covid 15 years ago and sold it to the Chinese and I kinda snapped a little and actually talked back (my employment hangs on the edge of a knife with the low volume of jobs) about how you fall for everything if it’s something you want to be true you’ll believe anything someone says on the radio or YouTube.

jesus christ, you having to work with that cunt mirrors fauci listening to donnies inane ramblings at press conferences, how did that fuckwit get to be your boss?

The marches have thousands of people. After the first or maybe second round of tear gas, there's typically a few hundred left and it's that group that stays until the wee hours of the morning. Among that couple hundred, there is a handful of hardcore "end the government" type anarchist street people that are trying to set shit on fire. I've watched two or three guys kicking plywood get the whole block gassed. They tried to light a fucking tree on fire the other night and that really pissed me off.

Please forgive my lack of empathy for him.

Ole boy says you lack empathy.... lol.... Hypocrite is thy name

His post

We've seen your posts. You lack a lot more than just empathy.

A previous post from him

But if you don't become a career felon, get the cops called on you for counterfeit bills, aren't high on meth and fentanyl and don't resist arrest you YOU WILL NOT BE KILLED BY COPS.

Barry Dillon was sacked for cheerleading violence against the police but I constantly see posts cheerleading violence against protesters.

Watching an old Chomsky documentary from around 1988 and there is this part where a young David Frum shows up to a lecture back when he was doing journalism. He mischaracterises Chomsky's positions as a means of strawmaning him during a discussion of the media's role in ignoring atrocities of gov and friends while playing up the atrocities of our enemies as a means of manufacturing a consent from the public. Chomsky's position was in essence we as a society should take responsibility for our gov's actions in relation to the decisions and consequences in the international realm. He mischaracterises Chomsky's equality of principles as an "equality of corpses" and states we should equally care about all lives accuses him of hypocritically not caring about the lives of kurds while promoting caring about Palestinian lives, which Chomsky disputes. Chomsky emphasises to Frum: "... you need to focus on the consequences of your actions, what can YOU affect" rather than the actions of other govs.

I had to stop and pause because the whole thing creeped me out knowing Frum's eventual role in speechwriting for Bush during the Iraq War and his propaganda for interventionism that we would later employ.

I do wonder what percentage of the war room thinks they would win a debate versus Chomsky. It's probably some absurd amount, with likely the least probable of posters being the ones who emphatically think they'd destroy him.

I just got snapchat recently. There is some wild women on it. I just got a instagram. Do you use it often?

Sorry to interject, but social media is a cancer. I wish everyone would realize it because it sucks when you want to have a conversation with people and too many people seem virtually inaccessible through other means.

As far as pundits go, historically has there been a more smug motherfucker deserving of a backhanded slap than William F Buckley? Every clip he shows up in I just get the urge to strangle

He doesn't age well. All the debates I've seen, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, have shown his views to be out of touch and history has shown to be complete flops.
