RE: #GrahamPlatner. It's even worse than we thought!!

Paria sans portefeuilleMike's way kinder than I would be (lol).
Getta load of this. So going from writing "Free Kashmir" and "Free Palestine" and protesting the war drive on Iraq in HS to writing this shit is part of his "personal growth"?:
"On the one hand, it was horrific asymmetric imperial violence, in which I was directly - and *voluntarily* - participating (because I *enlisted*).
"On the *other hand* I was *proud* of how good I was at it !
"tHiS iS wHaT i sTrugGLe WiTh..." 🤦
If it looks like a ______, contradicts himself like a _______, and wears a very specific undenible nazi totenkopf (for 15 fucking years) like a_____... Well?
notice how brazen the buck-passing is here. The "establishment" didn't make him fight in those US wars of choice. Those wars were already underway when he *enlisted,* knowing full well he'd be sent there, before re-enlisting and re-enlisting. Talk about playing ppl for chumps.
I wasn't at all suprised to see this bilge was bylined Branko Marcetic.
That would be the same Branko Marcetic who justified Dem funding for the Iron Dome by cluelessly claiming that Iron Dome was "irrelevant" to Gaza. 🙄
And NB how the prolowashing of Platner's upper middle class background continues.
Soon as I saw the headline I figured it was either him or Ben Burgis. #misère

Cimer for the info. I had no idea Marcetic said what he said abt the Iron Dome and I didn't know abt Totenkopf Platner's class background
I get the hatred for #SadSackCollins who voted to allow a wannabe rapist on the SCOTUS & she lies about being a 'moderate' 🙄, but replacing Sad Sack with #TotenkopfSussDude just makes things worse.
It's best to get rid of Sad Sack, then get rid of whomever this feckless idiot Dem is. In a word, strategy.
As I tell a lot of my fellow anarchists 
, we don't live in an anarchist utopia. We have to deal with electoral politics, money, tech etc.in a word, we have to deal with what's in front of us: #KnowYourEnemy on the #FarRight, #Vote, learn about politics in one's own country and abroad, etc.
Being too cool for school won't help anarchists, progressives, leftists or anyone else (do they listen? Meh! Some agree some don't)
If there are any anarchists in #Maine, vote! Get rid of Sad Sack then get rid of a Dem who at least doesn't have a suspected #farright past.
Why?
Because if this Proud Boy-looking, totenkopf toting dude gets in, it's a signal to other far right that they can do the same.
remember the prolowashing of Fetterman? That turned out really well huh? /s

Fucking hell! I read half of this (I'll read the other half later) and I'm like: What...the...FUCK!
great take-no-prisoners piece that goes right after all the prolowashing of Platner:
I don't want to sound like I'm mean to these Democrats. I'm just fucking frustrated!!!
It's not about Platner 'turning over a new leaf' to become a better person,, Bernie and Chris
It's about the fact that (I'll just say it at this point!) #GrahamPlatner's LYING about being progressive at all.
It's about infiltrating the Dems to get elected. That's been part of the far right playbook for years.
This bastard claims to be a history buff (that checks out as far as knowing damn well that's a nazi totenkopf) , contradicted himself more than once, telling on himself abt his enlistments (plural) in the military, and according to Katherine Belew's book 'Bring The War Home' the U.S. military has (historically and still to this day) a far right problem
Platner's porkies are not fooling anybody (except some Dems who don't bother to do their homework
He really did tell on himself before "oppo research" became the talking point. HE was the one sharing the HS yearbook stuff about being a young revolutionary.
Lamest low yet is Ryan "White Lives Matter" Grim (who celebrated the end of federal DEI), trying to compare him to Allende by arguing that Allende came from money too. Yeah, but Allende wasn't prolowashed as a kid from the wrong side of the tracks, I guess because we didn't have trust fund leftists doing podcasts then.
Hang on ... I know this is off the topic of discussion, but are you referring to journalist Ryan Grim (Please tell me he's not this stupid)
I am indeed.
My personal rule of thumb is that *anybody* who's a part of one of those "and now from the left...and now from the right" shows is immediately sketch. Those things have been an infotainment circus grift since their advent on '80s TV.
I've hated those types of shows like poison since the 80s. There's nothing subversive about tying your media presence & your "cause" to your complicity (in the Fr sense of the term) with a total réac that you do a show with.
Of course, there's a lot of that. Those ppl are to be celebrated as class traitors ! 🙂
more examples: Kollontaï, Gore Vidal, Tony Benn.
I mean, there's tons of examples like that.
Absolutely
(I dk what the fuck is wrong with Tony Benn's son Hilary though! The Tory twat!!)
Yeah that is sad.
Allende didn't prolowash and neither did Charles Parnell, or João Goulart (who, btw, came from a centuries old land owning family and gave up his own lands to poor family farmers)
