In this interview, she expresses her frustrations with the seemingly unstoppable advance of idiotic cancel culture, a triumph for malicious propaganda and mass imbecility. In that, she speaks for everyone who has not been intimidated nor brainwashed by the new “woke” brand of demented global imperialism.

RAINER SHEA—Stalin’s social fascism theory posited that social democrats represent the moderate wing of fascism. In the wake of the violent social democrat-facilitated campaign that resulted in the murder of communist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg in 1919, Stalin wrote this in his 1924 work Concerning the International Situation:

Hedges illustrates the classical limits of left liberalism and social democracy: left anti-communism. Too bad that Jimmy Dore s still innocent about these things. For all the cogent and eloquent analysis about the state of US society, Hedges can never refrain from taking potshots at “authoritarians” (i.e., Stalin, the Soviet Union, the Serbs in the Yugoslav civil war). Read our special pieces on left anticommunism, a form of Fifth columnist posture, and why it matters to realise what role these people play in the class struggle.

GLENN GREENWALD—Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), long a vocal advocate of requiring congressional approval for the deployment by the president of military forces to war zones, argued on Friday that Biden’s troop movements to Eastern Europe constitute war decisions that constitutionally necessitate Congressional approval. “President Biden’s unilateral deployment of our Armed Forces to the European theater, where we now know they are in imminent hostilities, triggers the War Powers Act, necessitating that the President report to Congress within 48 hours,” he said. Sen. Lee added: “The Constitution requires that Congress must vote to authorize any use of our Armed Forces in conflict.”
For this simple and basic invocation of Constitutional principles, Lee was widely vilified as a traitor and Russian agent. “Are you running for Senator of Moscow? Because that’s where you belong,” one Democratic Congressional candidate, the self-declared socialist and leftist Joey Palimeno (D-GA), rhetorically asked. Now-perennial independent candidate Evan McMullin, formerly a CIA operative in Syria, dubbed Lee“Moscow Mike” for having raised this constitutional point, claiming he did so not out of conviction but “to distract from the fact that he traveled to Russia and brazenly appeased Vladimir Putin for his own political gain.”

GLENN GREENWALD—Constitutional illiteracy to the side, the “hate speech” framework for justifying censorship is now insufficient because liberals are eager to silence a much broader range of voices than those they can credibly accuse of being hateful. That is why the newest, and now most popular, censorship framework is to claim that their targets are guilty of spreading “misinformation” or “disinformation.” These terms, by design, have no clear or concise meaning. Like the term “terrorism,” it is their elasticity that makes them so useful.
