  • On one hand yeah, but on the other hand, little was done besides making a nyc bookstore and some propaganda, and if you think these orgs are completely seperate from the PSL and don’t share members/staff you are just misinformed.

    I still can’t comprehend why not just do press releases for the donations as if a big paper wouldn’t eventually find out socialist groups are getting millions from some 100 millionaire guy (regardless of his background) who is also funding dongsheng news sitting in an office in Shanghai with communist office decorations, it just adds to the narrative that something suspicious was going on because they didn’t come out ahead of it

    And ultimately making a hexbear comment is just my opinion, I’m not hurting any of these groups in any way by posting my takes on the hexagonal bear lemmy, like “which side are you on” give me a break lmao





  • On one hand the red scare stuff is kind of scary, but on the other hand the fact that they came out with this “new cold war” line just as major orgs were exposed to a wider audience to taking millions of one billionaire’s money is a very convient spin, when your group is the one that got millions from this guy and never publicly acknowledged it until the NYT called you out. And now it’s public that your group magically has way more money than the DSA despire having orders of magnitude less members and then do almost nothing with the money except put out some newsletters and youtube videos.

    I have seen zero accountability taken for not being transparent about having a billionaire patron (I know he thinks of himself as a socialist) or sitting on these giant piles of cash they got and doing almost nothing with it. And I have to assume that is because it’s very embaressing and inconvenient to them to have the funding exposed like this.

    Obviously AIPAC etc. will never get the same scruitiny, but I’m not overly concerned with the hypocrisy angle, like what doesn’t amerikkka do that’s not a hypocracy, there’s no way this wouldn’t have made it main stream eventually and I don’t get why these orgs weren’t more transparent to their members, I would imagine the DSA has never gotten a donation of a million or over before, you would think that would be significant enough to warrant being open about it














  • The articles saying the Noname track Balloon had the lyric

    It’s all a hoax, quite simple, a joke like Zelenskyy He met with the rabbis, and the pope incidentally

    when it is clearly

    It’s all a hoax, quite simple, a joke like Zelenskyy The imams, the rabbis, and the pope incidentally

    are gross

    https://genius.com/Noname-balloons-lyrics

    and Noname is clearly making a point but I think the track just takes away from the rest of the album and is getting her review bombed, it’s in imo poor taste and definitely could have been done without doing a cheeky Jay Electronica Rothschild reference, like the lyric is about Jay sawing the Roth family in half, which eludes to him having an affair with someone with the last name Rothschild and breaking up their marriage, but like oh what if there was a double entendre there, oh what if there wasn’t, am I antisemetic or are you the woke mob who already thinks I’m antisemetic because im in the Nation of Islam and included a lyric about a biblical passage that antisemites invoke in a past track and your opinion of me won’t change regardless so why shouldn’t I say this thing where it can be ambigious etc.

    Interested in seeing how flannel-yellow covers this track and the response to it

    I also learned reading about this that Jay Electronica jokingly referred to himself as Jaydolf Spitler in a track which is for sure something
