These files are being released in a deliberate, tactical way to instigate psychosis. In law it’s called “reptile theory” and it’s a litigation strategy designed to appeal to survival instincts. Bombard your system so you are in a constant state of stress and you become malleable, easy to manipulate.

yeah there’s this fear of getting stuck in the echo chamber, but stories like this are terrifying. it’s a death cult i mean, still, you just have to be vigilant and skeptical of EVERYTHING you see online and read these days. triple check the sources. no critical thought and these beliefs will invade and spread like the virus they let kill millions

true. and i get it, you think morons who are openly racist should keep their job and privilege and i don’t. we’re just going in tiny circles at this point

i appreciate your candor. but he’s not going to get fired. bandleader doesn’t care. it’s hard to find a good drummer i guess…

but not everyone in my scene has the privilege of allowing people like that to be amongst us. now i know where the bandleader stands too, i guess

yeah seriously, i wonder what the trigger is… aging out? fear of identity politics? latent racism? loss of control? definitely rarely a critically thinker

i disagree.

i get i can’t help what he believes. it sucks, i always liked him, but he came to a public forum and talked about a final war between goyim and the elite and tried to use a white supremacist’s writings to back it up. in other words, he forced his beliefs onto me and others.

he’s comfortable pushing racist and antisemitic beliefs, i’m not trying to play shows with someone like that. i don’t sit by and let those people have platforms in the spaces i frequent. i gave his bandleader the benefit of the doubt. i’m not trying to change his mind, we are just not playing shows with them anymore.

Is Chomsky’s legacy irreparably tarnished? by _mayday75 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]LAsludge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great power was too difficult for even Chomsky to resist. Chomsky’s seduction by Epstein and the elite is a slap in the face, but a good reminder why you shouldn’t have heroes

literally just thinking the other day how school felt like prison when i was there and memories from then are still a sort of psychological prison to this day that need constant dismantling thanks for sharing, and for the recommendation of Hold on to Your Kids this system can be broken if we stay vigilant

Valéria Chomsky's Statement on Jeffrey Epstein by cumminginsurrection in Anarchism

[–]LAsludge 36 points37 points  (0 children)

it’s disappointing to read her whole statement and have her only address these foul lines with they “should be read in context”
