    … you’re posting a podcast titled “CitationS Needed” that’s clearly trying to pass its self off as famous YouTuber Tom Scott’s “Citation Needed” (no plural) and it features Trump supporter, Glenn Greenwald (his fall from grace and later support of Trump is well documented, up there with Michael Moore, and Matt Tabili).

    It’s pretty sad that this is your idea of media literacy - name swapped podcasts and deadbeat Trump supporters.

    Who did I present as evidence again? A small news agency known as Reuters? …and your idea of media litteracy is - a podcast pretending to be a more famous podcast.

            I know right, the cowardly mods on .ml just nuked my comment because they can’t handle that perspective… I didn’t swear at you (and you know this), I didn’t aim to be insulting - it’s just indicative of the fragility of the marxist left today when it comes to discourse they can’t combat, compute, and have no reasonable response to.

            Users have to be protected because apparently they need to be kept in a state of false consciousness for a Marxist left to continue. Which as Marxists you should all be worried about (it hints at an issue with Marxist party politics). But you lot may well not understand what I’ve said.

            Good luck having your eyes protected for purely ideological reasons… And good Marxists should know - he wasn’t a huge fan of ideology or respecting it as causal or desirable.

            He was very practical, hence concrete historical materialism.
