Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The reason for the cancellation, he said, is that my critiques of Biden, especially for the genocide in Gaza, jeopardizes his nonprofit status.

In communist China...

He’s an anticommunist LIB who I’ve never heard call for socialism, but he’s still somehow outside the Overton window.

Hedges is pretty much the only reason I know TRNN exists.

Hedges is a Christian Socialist, his idea of a Socialist revolution is for a whole lot of martyrs to die lol, very Idealist. I remember he did a panel on Lenin, during a LeftForum panel, with others including Richard Wolff, the majority of Panelist were positive about Lenin and the Russian Revolution, but Hedges was absolutely on Lenin and the Russian Revolution.

Hedges can be a clown, I first came aware of him during the Occupy movement, he wrote a very lib article about "violence/antifa" destroying the occupy movement. The funniest part of the article was that he equated swearing at cops a form of violence lol.

What kind of Christian Socialist? The liberal ones? these are known to definitely be idealistic pacifists. (sorry im from brazil i lack a lot of knowledge about american politics)

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

Umm actually this is corporate censorship and not state censorship so we still rate the US as having one hundred and one freedom eagles. 🦅

Freeziest peach in the world baby big-cool

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

Man fuck every freeze-peach warrior bullshit artist. The US is literally making laws to stop citizens from speaking out against the state and libs pretend their party isnt fascist too

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago

Will Biden go after the evangelical mega churches and scamming tent revivals who call him Satan incarnate and finally tax them?

No?

Ah well. Nonetheless

I used to watch The Real News regularly. It was ran by Paul Jay, a Leftist and Anti-Zionist, he even did a whole interview series with Finkelstein about his life and struggles, it's good watch and pretty funny concerning Finkelstein's Maoist period. Criticisms of US-Israel and the Dems was a regular on TheRealNews. They even had a former long time Black Panther Party inmate as a producer when he was released:

Paul Jay left and started theAnalysis-News:

https://www.youtube.com/@theAnalysisnews/videos

His newest videos are about US Imperialism and the Gaza Genocide.

I have't followed theREalNews for a longtime since Paul left, didn't know they are now run by a Lib...

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah Paul Jay got pushed out of TRNN a couple years ago by Democrats in the organization that couldn't stand seeing their party get critiqued

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

I didn't know about this show. Any link to his interview with kucinich?

[–] davel@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

That video is a year old. Maybe it was a very recent one that got pulled?

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Shit didn't even realize that.
