Gee, I wonder if anyone around here has been consistently cautioning people about Ryan Grim & other compatible left figures.
[2026-06-11] @ZaidJilani@twitter.com: If he had said this while we worked together at The Intercept, HR would’ve pushed him into lava.
…which would have kept him a more efficient asset, more palatable. You see how this works? Westoids are more keen to brush off bigotry against foreigners, like his comments on Palestinian armed resistance perpetuating the October 7th rape hoax. Open racism like this can put people off.
He will stick around though as he gets promoted -> people assume promoted figures have organic popularity -> eventual replacement with younger, hipper, more social media-savvy models using the same networks
Grim showed me his whole ass three years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdxUph85NlA
It’s funny how BJG is too radical for the other glowing talk show people and gets into these kinds of things. Have you been following the current Kshama Sawant DSA drama? I happened across it by accident
No. Last I heard Sawant was a Trot who believes China is imperialist, so I don’t keep tabs on her.
To nutshell it, the DSA people following Sawant’s campaign around for some reason are being asked to take it down a notch so I guess even they are too radical for her. It feels like the entire US compatible left is this huge tangled mess with far fewer key figures than it seems at first glance.
The US “left” was a psy op from the get go, they never wanted radicalism. It was just a get rich quick scheme/power grab for a bunch of bourgeoise kids who felt like they’d been screwed over after 2008. The minute they made they made their millions the radicalism was dropped pretty quickly.

At some point we have gotta talk about the sucker problem around here!
Ryan Goyim.
