***Official Political Discussion Thread***



Iran's former president has appeared at the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei despite having been reported killed at the start of the war.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was one of millions of mourners who poured into Tehran dressed in black on Monday to escort the slain supreme leader's coffin through the capital.

The former hardline president, who governed from 2005 to 2013, was declared dead by several Iranian state-affiliated media outletson the opening day of the war, when Israeli and US strikes killed Ayatollah Khamenei and much of the country's leadership.

My first username was simply because I liked the Young Scooter song at the time :lol:



My **** right here :hat. RIP street man. Loved how the beat never dropped. That whole tape and street lottery 2 had them summers on tilt 🔥. Decatur Dan. GSU :smokin


Yup, I don't get why people are getting mad at Ezra it's very obvious what he's doing.

If you are a highly engaged left of center person (lik 90% of his audience) Ezra completely exposed the contradictions in Rufo's worldview without have to "debate" him.

Nobody is saying “debate him”. I said I understand his approach. I don’t agree it’s effective at all.

I just don’t buy that he’s naive, has a blind spot, or what he’s doing is effective. It’s terrible take after terrible take……ceding ground to ridiculous right wing opinions And then a light pushback :lol.

There is really nothing to EXPOSE with Rufo. Hes been mask off since forever. None of this is effective. To me, it just another note I take down about Klein. Not mad at him, just more that I noticed.

There absolutely is something to expose, you might know who he is but there are many people who don't, the podcasts exists to inform a liberal left wing audiences about worldviews they wouldn't typically be exposed to.

Putting your head in the sand and pretending people like Rufo don't exist and thinking you can ignore them until they disappear is a totally failed strategy. and imo is as a big reason we got Trump.


I remember people laughing at Rufo when he said he was going to turn CRT into a big thing. and then look what happened.
can't just look down your nose at these people. it doesn't work.

Who is putting their head in the sand? Where did I suggest that?

😩😩😩

You know what. You got it man :lol. I remember telling you about Joe Rogan (not saying Klein is the same, not saying Klein is the same, not saying Klein is the same, not saying Klein is the same)…..

But it is EXHAUSTING at this point to keep painting these guys as naive or a blind spot.

To not understand the frustration with this kind of “journalist” is wild to me….but we differ.

Enjoy man.
 
Did you want me to seriously respond to this?

Or this was just something that came up on your timeline, you wanted to vent about it, so you decided to @me and lightly troll me as a outlet?

I see other people responded to you regarding it. So if it was just to vent, I assume are you good now.

Something I came across that I wanted to show you about Ethan Klein continually having terrible takes, and buying the rights framing all the time. We had a discussion recently about it, so it’s relevant to me. And yes, to troll you dawg :lol

I said my peace. We can move along.

Ok
 
I suggest people listen or read the full interview between Ezra Klein and Chris Rufo.

Couple things I noticed:

-Klein and Rufo agree on some premises disagree on others
-They don't have the same general worldview
-Klein challenges Rufo on many things without being combative. That his style, frustrating at times, but that is how he is.
-Rufo does make a lot of true accurate analysis, even if the left. You get a clear picture of how he was able to finesse the situation so well and become so successful. ( he is probably the most successful activist of the past decade)
-Klein is right about how priming identity backfired hard on the left politically.

The interview is nearly two hours. Like 60 pages of reading. I suggest anyone wanting to making a compete judgement of a piece, take the time. Don't just rely on your timeline.
 
Trump always makes everything about him…. Except when it's time to be held accountable
 


Could be something….. Could be nothing.

There are a decent amount of rumors his campaign is running out of money.

This could be interesting because we might see the party give him money if they think he has a shot AND what does that do to his profile as an outsider, because he’s running as an outsider.
