Me: Conservatism is bad and always has been. They have been using the same tricks since time immemorial to consolidate power for the wealthy

Some guy managed to interpret my video on the arch-reactionary Cato the younger where he is presented as a fraud, hypocrite and an ancient Mitch McConnell as a reason why it’s ok to fire federal workers

Do you have any evidence of this? Clearly you don’t view Palestinians as humans but why project that on to others

Dude how do videos I make with iMovie and a $40 mic outperform CBS

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

oh CEO of framework says you should be ok with his entirely nonpolitical support of fascist software and he's just unbiased in sponsoring those who openly talk about how much they want you dead

act accordingly then

Framework supporting far-right racists?

recent remarks from @frame.work's CEO, nirav patel, are incredibly disappointing, and reflect a recurring theme that i'm seeing in tech: embracing, in both vocal and financial support, right-wing bigots and fascists with the excuse of "they make good tech"

Both jumping at the chance to appear on a panel so that they can sanewash Pompeo’s openly eliminationist views of the Palestinians and for what exactly? They have more than enough name recognition and money - why bother unless you too want all Palestinians dead?

Have really got to love ostensibly liberal politicians like Clinton and Blinken validating the far right takeover of CBS for no real reason (none of them will ever run for office again) other than sheer love of the game

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).
