Fun fact, the CIA invented the word brainwashing during the Korean war to try to explain why American POWs captured by China felt sympathy towards China when they returned home.

Yall are not going to believe this. I looked up who Crack Amico is and he’s a right-wing white guy rapper. His shitty music is on youtube. The context of this tweet is that he thinks these 2 people are the same but in a good way. This tweet is replying to a guy named “9mmsmg”, who has "anti-marxist in the bio. 9mmsmg had reposted a video of the woman on the left which had been uploaded by an account called “Women being awful”. Twitter has gone to shit.

There’s a new Biden interview with some actually interesting moments.

The interviewer asks Biden about calling a person “an illegal” during his SOTU speech. Biden says that he now regrets using the word “illegal” and should have said undocumented person. Then Biden go on to say “we have to control the border”, but also that he’s different from Trump because Trump uses words like Vermin. Biden basically says that he’s doing Trump’s border policy but with Civility ™.

The interviewer asks Biden about the hot mic footage after the speech, where Biden says “I told Bibi, and don’t repeat this, ‘You and I are about to have a come to Jesus meeting’.” Biden says that Bibi has the right to protect Israel but that it’s now Biden’s view that Israel’s actions are hurting Israel by making them look bad. Then Biden says that he’s trying to get a ceasefire, 6-week ceasefire. The notable thing here is that the Democratic establishment is redefining what a ceasefire is. Ceasefire is meant to be an end of the war, not a 6-week pause.

The interviewer asks Biden about the “no red lines” policy on Israel. Biden says that he won’t stop supplying weapons to Israel under any circumstance. Then he says “We can’t have another 30,000 Palestinians dead”. Biden says that he told Israel “Don’t make the mistakes that America made with Bin Laden” Then he has a Freudian slip and says “But we shouldn’t have gone into Ukraine”. Biden winces. Then he says “I mean we shouldn’t have gone into Iraq or Afghanistan.”

The interviewers asks Biden about the port that Biden promised during the SOTU to build in Gaza for aid, saying that a port would take 60 days to build. The interviewer asks Biden what he will do to give aid to Gaza for the next 60 days. Biden talks about the air drops and acknowledges that several people were killed by the air drops falling on them.

The interviewer asks Biden about the Uncommitted primary voting campaign and says that many people have pledged to never vote for Biden because Biden actively armed a genocide. Biden says that the interviewer is lying and that people don’t believe that. Biden says that people are upset and asking him to do something, but Biden says that he believes most people don’t think that Israel is doing a genocide. Biden denies that Israel is doing genocide and he also denies that other people believe Israel is doing genocide.

I was looking at his reddit account yesterday and the posts of the reddit account match the information of the article. Maybe the intent of the article is to smear him. I don’t think that him being an anarchist or previously a radical christian devalues his action.

washingtonpost.com/…/israeli-embassy-airman-fire-…
archive.ph/flTlp

His username on twitch was lillyanarkitty when he streamed himself self-immolating. It was found that he had previously changed the name from “acebush1” using twitch moderator tools. I tried to use the tool and it said I had to buy a subscription. I’m posting the link anyway. If you have a subscription, you can see it. twitch-tools.lolarchiver.com/username_changelog?n…

The username acebush1 matches his real name. Aaron BUSHnell. AceBUSH1

On instagram, the account for acebush1 has 0 photos, 28 friends, and says “Aaron Bushnell” on the profile page. www.instagram.com/acebush1/

On soundcloud, an account called acebush1 uploaded a single audio track 10 years ago. It says like: Hi I’m aaron bushnell welcome to my podcast. soundcloud.com/acebush1

Based on all of that information. I believe that this was his reddit account. old.reddit.com/user/acebush1/

acebush1 posted in many anarchist subreddits, posted in airforce subreddits, etc.
2-3 years ago he posted about being a radical christian, which aligns with the headline of the article.
He posted about hating Marxist-Leninists a few times.
He has many posts in the airforce subreddit telling people that airforce members should be able to use their airforce healthcare for gender affirming care, ie gender transitioning. Some people on hexbear and twitter were suggesting that he might be interested in transitioning based on the username lillyanarkitty. I don’t know.
He has many posts on different fantasy series subreddits, such as LoTR. I’m mentioning this because the WAPO article also says that he loved LOTR.
He also had posts saying that he had read anarchist literature, so he probably didn’t become an anarchist from reading memes.

Is the washington post article trying to smear him? maybe. probably yes.

Was Aaron Bushnel an anarchist? based on his twitch username that he streamed himself being named “lillyanarkitty” and his alleged reddit account. I would say he was an anarchist.

Does this devalue his message at all? No. He is correct about Gaza.

edit / It looks like reddit has deleted all his posts or shadowbanned him or something. You can still see the posts on the profile but if you click “permalink” on any of his comments, it says deleted.

Michigan is the first state in 60 years to repeal right-to-work.

The song shows male insecurity in a funny way. Ken is a himbo. He’s insecure because he’s hot but dumb. He wants Barbie’s affection but he feels inadequate and Barbie is on her own journey.

The song is funny because he sings about being adequate and not really anything impressive. The tune of the song is an epic rock ballad, similar to the sounds of like “The boys are back in town”, “We are the champions”, “Eye of the tiger”, etc. The expectation we have is that the lyrics of the song will be boisterous with claims of greatness, but Ken just wants to be normal.

This contrast is funny, but also Ken’s desire to just be adequate instead of extraordinary evokes empathy from the audience.

♫ I’m just Ken and I’m enough and I’m great at doing stuff. ♫

The next sentence in the article says that he won’t let the bill pass because he thinks it doesn’t do enough for US border security. The bill gives $20 billion to spending on the US border and Mike Johnson says it should be more than that. Mike Johnson wants the bill to be even more evil.
