    Corporations: steal tens-of-billions from employees who’re just barely scraping by

    Me/you: shoplifts can of soda/bag of chips which should be priced at $2-3 according to inflation, rather than it’s listed price of $4-7

    Atlantic Magazine: [hand on hip wagging finger in face] “How dare you? There are rules that govern society, young man/lady, this is simply unacceptable.”

      Everyone from .ml, grad and hexbear must be so jealous that he got the coveted title of Extreme Communist before them.

      And then he is not even that extreme, so it’s watering down the title.

      I like how simply calling him a communist is not enough, they need to call him an “extreme” communist to make extra sure that people think twice before supporting him.

      In reality he’s more like a Mamdani Democrat that sometimes quotes Mao to make his democratic socialism appear more radical than it actually is, but obviously that is lost on all the 5-year-olds.

    I blocked everything from the Atlantic a year ago. Deeply unserious, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. They are clearly propaganda for the class that needs to be guillotined.

      I’ve been convinced the primary purpose of The Atlantic, for at least 15 years, has been to literally craft the mindscape by which rich liberals maintain their wholly undeserved sense of moral and intellectual superiority.

      You could just call it ‘Hoity Toity Tut-Tut Tutorials For Your Next Social Outing’.

        Let’s be honest, OP convinced himself of that stuff. The dog is so obviously well taken care of that it’s nuts when people claim otherwise. Have these people ever seen a dog before?

        Haha the “smear campaign”. This guy can do no wrong. It’s a cult. Explain the difference between Hassan fans and Maga? They’re the same. It’s the same.

      No you have that mixed up. He is the anti-zionist leftist in a MAGA body that gets smeared by elite libs and fash (also libs) for his ML political views. Really good propagandist imo

    i suspect that this guy doesn’t have the discipline nor the disposition needed to withstand these attacks upon him like others do (ie madeline pendelton) so i fully expect him to crash & burn and then checkout of the social spotlight and retreat w his millions into his hollywood mansion.

    i also sincerely hope that he proves me wrong.

      He’s been under siege for most of his career lol, he will do fine. And as people say, there is no such thing as bad publicity, mainstream media is just propelling his fame at this point with these hit pieces.
