What a great way to word it!

Thank you for taking the time to explain your way of handling tha reality of being exposed to the internet!

This guy defended the Jan 6 riots on extremely flimsy ground (his thesis falls in line with the rest of conservatives: that it was a peaceful demonstration that got out of hand).

Seems that is what the status quo and legacy media was saying about other protests going on in the past and currently, just take a look at Black Lives Matter and Anti-Genocide protests.

Major difference is that social media has had a great impact against what the propaganda machine tries to push, but do not forget, these are also being censored by gov’t and the owner class to a certain degree.

Not only that, but he goes to bat for Trump pretty often, of all people.

He is going after specifics not only just because he is Trump… I would take another look at what he was explaining when talking about Trump.

Many of his points will be push back at the general propaganda and smears our politicians and legacy media is enforcing on us so as to try to sway the working class toward the status quo.

That is why there is an increase of people that do not believe anything that politicians or legacy media spews to the working class.

It’s par the course for the rest of the anti-establishment enlightened centrists (see Pin Tool and the likes). Not impressed.

Not too sure what you mean by this or the people you meantioned?

Enlighten centrists, not sure how he would fit that label…

Here are some videos about Glenn, seems to still be keeping his morals till this day as well.

Edit: improved wording, a bit

But Jan 6 was a violent insurrection into what is the most important day in our electoral process: the day when the peaceful transfer of power is meant to occur and anyone trying to draw parallels between that and BLM rioters is actively engaged in subverting our democracy. You can whine about media obfuscation all day long, but we all saw the video footage and we all knew what day of the year it was.

Yes, I also saw what legacy media release and what other independent media release.

Similar to all protests, the people breaking the law are to be punished and all that, but do not forget that they are usually really small percentage of these people that are violent, when comparing a few violent people to the full size of the protest.

Yeah, the anti-establishment schtick is getting old. Glenn is part of the fraternity of ultimate skeptics -when it’s convenient, of course. And frankly, the theatrics are getting old.

Not sure what you mean by this… it may just be our political bubbles that make it difficult to understand each other at a quick matter and just with a few replies and comments.

I do not support or am a part of the duopoly, so that will also differ a lot on how we view gov’t and the people that control our politicians, the owner class.

I am more of a revolutionary than a reformist, so that is a major difference we have.

In a simple to understand and basic outline, I see Jan. 06 event, IMO, as an unorganized riot similar to when a certain sports team losses and they go ham at what is near by, only a few are extremly violent while letting out frustration.

Few or little of the protestors were openly showing their 2A given rights, compared to how the Black Panther Parties would be in the presence of police and and other gov’t dogs that do their bidding.

The Black Panther Party is a greater group I would align with than the unorganized Jan. 06 riots that were gov’t backlash.

Sadly, the Black Panthers and many great activists that fight against the status quo are killed or under great surveillance by our fascist government and police state.

It seems to me that you are just following everything the propaganda machine is pushing out.

Do not forget to be crticial and to question legacy media talking points.

We need to keep remembering how legacy media pushed Oct. 07 talking points, only until independent journalists debunked it, then people started to question and become more criticial thinkers, which benefits humanity.

I would suggest to see what other independent jouarnalists had to say about Jan 06; aside from just reading, the status quo narrative pushed by our politicians, owner class.

Well, there is a reason the populist and many of us have lost trust on media, the distrust keeps increasing instead of decreasing as time goes on and legacy media keeps doing what they do best.

It would be awesome if you could make some time to watch this debate, increasing the speed or reading transcipts is an option as well or download and listen to go the go (I use an apk(app) that lets me do that for free), I prefer seeing the facial cues and emotion heard when people talk/debate/discuss:

Munk Debate - Mainstream Media ft. Douglas Murray, Matt Taibbi, Malcolm Gladwell, Michelle Goldberg [01:40:24 | Dec 08 22 | Truthspeak] youtu.be/nvaf7XOOFHc

On the PRO side of the debate were Douglas Murray (The Spectator) and Matt Taibbi (TK News on Substack). On the CON side of the debate were Malcolm ‘Malc’ Gladwell (The New Yorker, Revisionist History) and Michelle Goldberg (The New York Times).

At the beginning of the debate, 48% voted in favour of the resolution, while 52% voted against the resolution.

I thought it was a great debate, but they should have found better people for the CON side; to me, it is an endeavour that will result in failure, but compelling points can still be made, so as to make us question and critic our way of thinking and the way we view the world.

I am not the biggest fan of Douglas Murray, but he debated well with his points.

I now plan to make some time to rewatch it again, hahaha

Thank you for engaging in a discussion with me!

I am stubborn and hard heading on topics that interest me a lot, and I know I may hold the wrong views, but I know as time passes I may keep learning and talking with people so as to realign my views on certain topics!

Have an awesome day and wish you the best!

Oh, never a good time when you experience something new, that you don’t want to!

Have you gotten some apks/apps and turned on sms/notifications that can inform you of weather alerts around you?

I had to sign up manally so that I can get alerts from my local agencies that handle weather and other events that I may prefer to know about, hahaha

Profit>people

The free market only gives insurance to ‘the people’ in the danger prone communities only when profit margins are big enough for the companies liking.

Damned be, the people that grew up and live their…

Co-ops and other community-first based company would be a great replacement form the profit hungry and greedy companies.

Seems it was a push by the owner class, people at the top of the LP that may have pushed it.

RFK Jr.'s VP is also a billionaire so funding potential and influence is quite high on that end, not to mention the Kennedy name has a lot of connections.

All this people are part of the ‘swamp’ Trump claims to be against, but in reality that only try to tailor their talks to the working class, then once in office they continue the status quo for the most part.

I’m trying to give this new LP leadership a chance

Yes, I also prefer to make up my own mind about people instead of just hearing things about them second hand, so as to realign my views on said people.

Always good to make some time to watch major videos like this.

I already know RFK Jr. lied about being anti-war and being america first, seems he is Israel first, as well as other politicians trying to appeal to the working class.

Good luck on finding the party affiliation that fits your policy and views!

jimmydoreisalefty, 1 day ago

Oh, great that you decided already, hahaha

That was quick! Nice, none duopoly parties are much better, but they do tend to struggle to take off at the local level, grassroots takes a bit and hard work from community.

Go for it!

I would suggest to join your local council as a start, if you would like to…, and start networking with people so as to start the process required to get voters and supporters.

Sounds good, you do not want to just go off of party teams, we need to make sure to see what policies fit while what is just talk versus what will they really fight for; I’ve made that mistake before, hahaha

jimmydoreisalefty, 1 day ago

Yes, some of my friends were really into Ron Paul, they keep bringing him up not too long ago also, hahaha

I didn’t know why but compared to the status quo he is much better on things that the working class would benefit from.

Yes, both blue and red team try to appeal to a certain group but they just end up losing more support in the end, hahaha

Ah, that is a good choice so as to have competition where their is none! Always best to be as direct as possible since you are not to worried about the outcome, win-win solution it seems, hahaha

Careful you might win though, hahahaha

The researchers — made up of scientists and animal welfare advocates — revealed this new cat in a study published earlier this month in the journal Animal Genetics and gave its uncommon cat coloring the name salmiak, after a popular salty licorice in Finnish, to invoke the salt and pepper fur of this kitty.

Research was “First published: 09 May 2024”

Abstract

Cats with a distinctive white hair pattern of unknown molecular cause have been discovered in the Finnish domestic cat population. Based on the unique appearance of these cats, we have named this phenotype salmiak (“salty licorice”). The use of a commercially available panel test to genotype four salmiak-colored cats revealed the absence of all known variants associated with white-haired phenotypic loci: full White (W), Spotting (Ws) and the Birman white Gloves associated (wg) allele of the KIT proto-oncogene (KIT) gene. Whole-genome sequencing on two salmiak-colored cats was conducted to search for candidate causal variants in the KIT gene. Despite a lack of coding variants, visual inspection of the short read alignments revealed a large ~95 kb deletion located ~65 kb downstream of the KIT gene in the salmiak cats. Additional PCR genotyping of 180 domestic cats and three salmiak-colored cats confirmed the homozygous derived variant genotype fully concordant with the salmiak phenotype. We suggest the newly identified variant be designated as wsal for “w salmiak”.
