cenk is, as always, not so much lost in the sauce as fucking drowning in it

"Defund the police is not good optics" mfer

It's wild how if you take like 1-3 steps away from the namesake podcast of the sub that eventually spawned this Lemmy, you get people like Leigh Philips and Lee Fang who say this shit. It's not just that people want access. They resent the enthusiasm of the palestinian resistance which they would like to view as dead weight.

Often people who recommend this stuff to me say "well they just want to "hide their power level"." Bc they want to access NGOs, publishers, magazines, newspapers etc. that would be closed off if they expressed a correct stance. Or even security clearance shit, you seek out interviews with the Daniel Ellsbergs and the Hershes and ppl the same way they seek out a patronage relationship with the part of the intel community that wants to pull out of Ukraine because it's been further destabilizing the US position globally by exposing our limitations & wasting a lot of resources and have some overlap geopolitically.

The ones like Blumenthal, Fang, Taibbi, etc. that are looking for favor from reactionaries just come across like dead eyed fucking weirdos

Cenky yogurt strikes again

I believe that Israel is writing the names of people that they don't like. They probably wrote Cenk's name because he supports Palestine. He went on the Piers Morgan show to defend Palestine 2 times. Israel wrote his name because they hate him. The names are written as a threat.

Yeah this is a good point to make because Ukraine was doing the opposite. They were writing the names of their supporters on shells while live streaming on telegram.

Andrew Tate came out in support of Palestine because he converted to Islam

Wait, what? When did this happen?

Mostly right but spending a not insignificant time libbing out saying things like "we have to retire 'from the river to the sea' because people think it's calling for murder now"

No. Andrew Tate converted to Islam because he thinks that Islam requires women to be more submissive to him. Andrew Tate came out in support of Palestine because he is Muslim. He's showing solidarity for other Muslims. He went on the Piers Morgan show multiple times to defend Palestine. Not everyone who supports Palestine is progressive. Broken clocks and whatever. Israeli wrote Andrew Tate on the bomb as a threat to Andrew Tate.

I think the hearts are confusing people, but this is meant to be a threat to people that Israel doesn't like.

He is one of the people doing it because he is an actual antisemite though.
