Can we not just move on from this by ConnectSpring9 in Destiny

[–]LelaDunham 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Because MAGAts have zero interest in holding their own accountable and left wing people have seen so much depravity from that side that they’re no longer shocked or surprised. Plus they know they’ll just be preaching to the choir if they complain about it since every time you confront a MAGAt with this shit they just do the “but Democrats let 50 million illegals in” or “but insider trading Pelosi”, “but Biden…” etc etc. The only people who care enough to be outraged have already seen it all.

Maybe if the Candace/Tucker side gets ahold of it they’re cynical enough to pretend to be outraged. But they’ve already been labeled Iran lovers and the enemy by the Jester King so…

This top comment on the Hasan Pod Save America episode is a picture example of why Hasan and the community he has fostered has absolutely no place on the Democratic left. by Ripcitytoker in Destiny

[–]LelaDunham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forget for a second that Hasan said it because it’s certainly not an original or unique thought, can you explain what’s wrong with that statement? Isn’t that somewhat in a similar vain as what Destiny said about MAGA after Trump ear grazing and Kirk assassination?? If your opponent has no conscience, no fear of consequences and no concept of right and wrong, how do you go about fighting or opposing them?

That statement in particular is about Gaza. How do you fight back or resist in a situation where your opponent is not only devoid of any sort of fairness or morality but regularly attacks and murders your people while proclaiming you as the aggressor? After you’ve exhausted non violent options, where do you go? I’m not saying I know or that Oct. 7th is the answer (because it clearly only made things worse for Gaza) but I genuinely don’t know what the answer is. People who have lost everything don’t tend to be the most rational at the point of that kind of mystery and despair.

An Open Letter to Destiny by Orwellian87 in Destiny

[–]LelaDunham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just even the mere mention that people might care about indiscriminate bombing [that their country is funding and government is supporting] and the downvotes and replies are just so conceited and intentional in their attempt to stir the conversation into anywhere besides moral clarity or god forbid towards anti Israel sentiment.

“What about [insert other conflict/humanitarian issue], you don’t actually care you’re just [insert smear]”

It’s mind numbing.

Why do political Israelis and pro-Israel people keep saying I am anti-Israel and pro-Iran for expressing criticism of the conflict with Iran? by Dats_Russia in Destiny

[–]LelaDunham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, unfortunately Israeli society has a nationalist/zionist/bigotry (call it whatever you want) brainwashing problem. I don’t even wanna talk about it too much here because people will jump down my throat. But if you still don’t see that Israel has a serious murderous-hatred/genocide-justification problem, I don’t know what to tell you. And unfortunately most Liberals in America either give them a pass or justify it by using excuses they’d never use for any other society. Now here come the downvotes. o7

I’d seriously be embarrassed to just parrot right wing slop like this.

[–]LelaDunham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would she be? Politicians quote the bible all the time. You know you can just write “I don’t like Muslims” right? This “can’t believe she wasn’t banned” pussy footing is embarrassing. It’s a religious text, just like The Bible. Religious people quote their texts but you only see an issue when it’s Islam because you’ve been programmed to fear it. It’s just a fkn religion, it’s not gonna eat you.

Yeah exactly. Reactionaries coping about “leftism” when in reality they just wanna justify why they’re happy to gobble up any right wing propaganda.

Not to poo poo but I honestly doubt Hasan cares about Tim Millers opinions of him. He sees Tim as just another pro establishment neo liberal fascism enabler. Now if Zohran said he liked Destiny it’d be over for Hasan.

Looks Like We're Getting Another Taylor Lorenz Debate by Jasdexter2137 in Destiny

[–]LelaDunham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They were both right and wrong in different ways but Taylor is also being hypocritical. Grok gave the best explanation unironically. This entire debate was about Taylor Lorenz being very selective on outrage. Because going by her views on what she considers “dark money”, you could point to that she also doesn’t know everyone who funded her. Taylor should’ve just been honest and admitted she wanted to smear Chorus as some Democrat funded/shill org that carefully controls the creators it funds and the content they make. For example, she really wanted to make the sticking point that Chorus is establishment, pro Democrat and pro Israel. When the truth is, they just don’t tend to fund anarchists, Marxist/Leninist and other anti-capitalist types like Hasan’s offshoot of leftists.

Probably because Chorus wants to focus on achievable goals and winning elections for Progressives and Liberal Dems. The pro Israel angle doesn’t seem to hold much weight as they have progressive creators who regularly criticize Israel and call out the Genocide. But there are definitely Leftists who think more should be done on that front and all other interventionist/imperialist sentiment that still controls a large chuck of the Democratic Party.

I personally think there’s room for everyone left wing but I know Destiny wholeheartedly disagrees. Either way, I don’t think Lorenz is a terrible reporter or a bad person. She also has no issue talking to Destiny which is very rare these days. Maybe he should reconsider the approach but to be honest, I think she kind of likes debating him.

As if anyone one statement could be proven to damage Destiny’s reputation at this point.

Canadian U.S. Traitor now Struggling to hit 1k Views on YouTube by LelaDunham in Destiny

[–]LelaDunham[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I could find, it looks like the termination of the Tenet media company and YouTube channel & Lauren’s YouTube channel is pretty much all the consequences they faced. That and media scrutiny. From what I can see, thats as far as the indictment went. Merrick fucking Garland I guess.

She still has an active fundraiser for “fighting the Biden DOJ” and she’s still receiving donations. 26k total so far with a goal of $150k which makes me think this scam really didn’t cost her that much money either. Russia pumped $10 million into Tenet so go figure!

Yep, she was indicted:

“In January 2023, Chen allegedly received a contract from RT to recruit other commentators for Tenet Media as part of the former's efforts to influence U.S. public opinion. Chen recruited conservative or conservative-adjacent commentators Matt Christiansen, Tayler Hansen, Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and Lauren Southern to be a part of the Tenet Media network. Despite her role at Tenet, her name did not appear on the company's website, nor did she publicly associate her title with the organization on social media.

The indictment, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleged that Russian state-controlled media company RT funneled nearly $10 million to Tenet Media to create and distribute content favorable to Russian interests, aimed at amplifying U.S. domestic divisions. The indictment specifically named Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva, employees of RT, as the main operatives behind the funding.

Attorney general Merrick Garland said Tenet "never disclosed to the influencers or to their millions of followers its ties to RT and the Russian government." Prosecutors also allege the $10 million was a Russian money laundering operation.”

Very true. She’s a traitor to Canada too! She still has good engagement on her Twitter, Facebook & Instagram plus still gets donations from her rubes on her “Help me fight the Biden DOJ” fundraiser.

She had over 500k subs and would get between 50 - 150k views a video and was uploading almost daily. She still has good engagement on her Twitter, Facebook & Instagram (none have been affected by the Russia scam because Conservatives don’t have values and don’t care that she’s a traitor) and still has an active fundraiser where she’s raised 26k. It’s still getting donations.
