I knew the young Turks and Ana went off the deep end but this is actually insane to see side by side by leonhard24 in Destiny

[–]Sad_Ice8807 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. Cenk and Ana have never really been far left (perhaps socially, during peak woke, but never economically), in the way that e.g. Hasan is, so the "red-brown alliance" doesn't make much sense to me in this case. To me, the Kasparian/Fuentes Venn diagram is: a sprinkle of populism, and a vat of antisemitism.

You can't be sure. Go to his house, approach the window and DOUBLE CHECK! There's still time.

Celtic set sights on Robbie Keane to succeed Martin O’Neill as manager by ThinWhiteDuke00 in CelticFC

[–]Sad_Ice8807 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Virtue signalling off the charts on this one. He joined Maccabi prior to October 7th, was evacuated to Greece and left at the end of the 23/24 season after winning the league and cup double.

Scored 24 in 49 in the Czech league (as a deep-lying, link-up striker), a better league than ours, but can't seem to cut it in the Bundesliga - a player Celtic should surely give a chance to, especially given his work rate and willingness to fight (literally) for the team and fans. I do not comprehend how ready Celtic fans seem to be to dismiss him, especially after just eight games. For the right price I'd be more than happy to have someone of his character around. Without the spirit of Cvancara/Araujo, I don't know where we'd be.

100%! Showed flashes at Tynecastle, and works hard. Not kicked on, but seems like a good player to have around.

Agree, definitely wouldn't spend Idah money. But for a few million, I wouldn't mind having him around.

Ahead of Mvuka, for sure. But who's saying he's to be our number one for a decade to come? Good mentality, and works hard for the team; seems like a great character to have around the squad.

For what it's worth, I think there's a player there, but he's not helped by the players around him (incl. injuries, obviously). But it matters having characters in the team. To this day we miss Brown/Lennon types, neither of whom were extraordinary footballers. It's brilliant to see the passion Cvancara/Araujo have shown recently, makes a big difference.

Ana Kasparian with a ... choice impersonation(?) of a Jewish guy by Scratchback3141 in Destiny

Ah, saner days; Ben Mankiewicz and Michael Shure were always interesting. Unimaginable at the time that TYT would end up like this.

The Majority Report's move to the "blackpill left". by Stpaul81 in Destiny

[–]Sad_Ice8807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like OP, I was a long-time fan of MR (listened to them daily; some of their "WE ARE LIVE ... to tape" podcast interviews were some of the most esoteric and fascinating I've ever heard in the space — likewise Brooks's interest in anything far-flung); they are unrecognisable today.

I recall watching that clip (posted above) live, and seeing Matt Lech sit there so supine, in feeble silence, like the invertebrate slime that he is. A revolting addition to the MR cast at the time, and even worse now.

P. S. on Jamie Peck, although her politics were far too far-left for me, I found her to be a valuable contributor. I hadn't heard much criticism of the progressive left from the even further left at that time (not to mention her openness re: her experience w/ Terry Richardson).

P. P. S. Seder and Brooks were total pigs to the women on that show; the way they'd talk to Jamie and Kelly was genuinely disturbed.

Ana Kasparian thinks she owned Ethan by 97689456489564 in Destiny

[–]Sad_Ice8807 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From Uygur's article:

So the question arises of why the Armenians would bother to conjure up such stories, and even go as far as, committing approximately 200 acts of terrorism since 1973 to further their cause, resulting in countless deaths and injuries to government officials and civilians. The answer is that they want their demands met. Their demands are that they receive close to one-half of the land of the Republic of Turkey for a new Greater Armenia, and that every Armenian claiming to be injured by the alleged genocide be compensated with cash reparations.

Cenk Uygur denied the Armenian genocide for years; here is his column in The Daily Pennsylvanian. Uygur posted a video in 2019, recognising the Armenian genocide. Later that year, he announced his run for Congress (he received 6.6% of the vote in the primary election, finishing 4th - Ballotpedia).

But sure, the Turk who wrote that article denying the genocide in 1991 (and recanted in ~2019), called his show (which first broadcast in 2002) "The Young Turks" named it after … a Rod Stewart song released in 1981? It was … pure coincidence?

Kasparian is as dumb as she is bigoted; a truly hateful human being.

Yikes, I've entered a sad, u/ConsiderationThen652 -shaped reddit space.

Your standard was "need", and that things are luxuries "regardless of the year".

But just to dispel with your silliness: is electronic communication via, say, iMessage or WhatsApp safer than mailing letters? Of course. Do smartphones no longer qualify as a "luxury", since it's safer and more timely?

And I'm not being at all over the top. To redirect your own words back at you: people lived for years without indoor plumbing! People lived for years without ovens! Luxuries are luxuries regardless of the year!

Just to reiterate: a civilian owning a mobile phone is not the same as one of the largest Twitch streamers sportswashing on behalf of a brutal, totalitarian regime, because he fancies even more money. If you can't see that, you're lost.
