Hey, that's my meme! 😃

When you're a communist and people find out that you use money

paying for twatter

They got a solid point there to dunk on them

blue check was given for free and with no choice to a lot of accounts including this one btw

Ah, it's the issue with the Greens and Western leftists.

I order a nature conservation related magazine that just ran an editorial in the last issue listing all the problems of capitalism without mentioning capitalism even once. Wanted to burn the damn paper.

Not naming the problem is exactly the issue. And it's literally all leftism is now in countries like mine. Our leftest (lib) party proudly calls this "the modern left" and it's essentially just being a bourge with social justice related characteristics and imperalism.

that John Oliver image has been floating around for a few years at least, why get mad about it now?

So calling out Oliver for not talking about capitalism is being media illiterate? lol

Wrapping the juicy bacon of milquetoast criticism of niche domestic issues around the bitter pill of uncritical State Department foreign policy propaganda so that the canine masses will eat it up

With John Oliver.

He's got better politics than I'd expect of a host of a broadcast TV show on a major network, but he's not really anyone I care that much about either. I don't really watch TV, and (more importantly) these personalities have expiration dates. At one point I liked Colbert but he became quaint in the face of Chapo; eventually Chapo themselves became quaint as a broader swath of podcasts did the things they did better. Eventually they too will become quaint as my interests move elsewhere and i crave increasingly outwardly belligerent media.

I would fully agree with them if they didn't have the blue check

It’s like raiiiiain on your wedding day

God I love it when people are critical of a critic's criticism.

Also no Quinton, it's because John Oliver is pretty clearly a mouthpiece for 'left-wing criticism' without any actual leftwing theory, which leads him to, in general, not understand the root of the problem, and fall for really really obvious American foreign policy lies.

But also fuck blue checks.

"You claim to be a communist and yet you buy things" is tired, but when the thing in question is Twitter, perhaps still has some gas.

I've never seen a both sides-er take my side

Darn tankies!

Dude makes 6 day long videos about That's So Raven and shit like that. Deeply into being unserious.

Nobody hates leftists more then other leftists. More then even conservatives!
