Project Veritas has been caught in a lie or being obtusely misleading so many times that that there are multiplewikis and newsarticleswrittenaboutthem. Those are just a small handful of examples.
Your second article contradicts itself regarding what antifa even is, starting out with "The far-left group known as 'antifa'" then a little further down this
... Antifa is merely a brand for already existing communist and anarchist activists...
So which is it? Are they one group, or a bunch of groups using the same label?
Anyone that has even a smidgen of understanding of different political ideologies can tell you that communists, specifically those that sympathise with the USSR and other authoritarian regimes, are at constant odds with anarchists and would never work together in the same group.
As for the rest of the second article, it consists mostly of fear-mongering.
Here's some general advice which applies to any group, be it political, religious, or otherwise: Take a step back and think about how any potential enemies are being portrayed. Are they being portrayed in contradictory lights? They can't both be weaklings and a serious threat at the same time. If you're in a group that portrays an enemy in contradictory manners like that, you've been duped. This is a very common propaganda technique used in cults and authoritarian regimes alike.
anarcho -communism is an impossibility.(it's a 'catch all' one liner the media use)
Antifa are very well organized - and funded- organization.
...this leftist push has been in motion for decades, from marxist educators in uni's in the 60's and onward's - to faux capitalism (central banking), - we are where we here right now, is all. 'The final push', without sounding over dramatic.
'Collectivist ideology' is cancer. It's delusional.
(A failed, 100 year, experiment).
Clearly not. If you've read my posts and got away with the idea I have even an ounce of love for Joe Biden, read them again. Joe Biden is just as corrupt as any other mainstream politician; there's nothing new under the sun here.
The article is not from the NY Times but the NY post; both you and the writer of the article you've linked persist in that mix-up. Furthermore, the article is highly dubious in its claims, starting with how the e-mails came in the possession, ultimately, of the FBI. Also, don't you think it's strange that it was Joe Biden who kept insisting that the investigations into Burisma's corruption continued? How would that be conceived as him helping his son, who was being paid by Burisma? But hey, even if EVERYTHING in the article was true, it would only confirm what's already common knowledge; politicians, especially those in Washington DC, are corrupt to their bones.
Most of your ideas revolve around "more state"...
How so? You must have the mistaken idea, like most who don't know what socialism or communism are and keep pointing fingers at the Soviet Union and China, that "more state" is a) a logical consequence of the afore mentioned ideologies, and b) that "more state" is inherently a bad thing. Let's start by you defining what "more state" is, exactly.
The fact that a Joe Biden presidency is far preferable over 4 more years of Trump should be obvious to anyone with a working brain, a modicum of historical understanding and empathy. However, since I see in public discourse as well as in my personal environment (yes, there are Trump supporters even here in The Netherlands), a lot of support for Trump still, I feel a need to explain why voting for Trump is literally the dumbest thing you can do right now. The choice in November is a regular corrupt politician, or a fascist; I'll go with the regular corrupt politician. It's not a choice of what we want, but what we don't want. Not a choice who to support the coming 4 years, but who we'd rather fight against; I'd rather fight Biden.
I feel a need to explain why voting for Trump is literally the dumbest thing you can do right now.
I would disagree, and point out why voting for either candidate is the dumbest thing you can do in this election. Because you have already repeatedly admitted that Joe Biden is a corrupt establishment politician, and Trump is a fascist, therefore to vote for either would be to vote for the very establishment system you claim to oppose. A vote for the ‘lesser of two evils’ is still a vote for evil.
The choice in November is a regular corrupt politician, or a fascist; I'll go with the regular corrupt politician. It's not a choice of what we want, but what we don't want. Not a choice who to support the coming 4 years, but who we'd rather fight against; I'd rather fight Biden.
I’ll go with not supporting corruption, fascism or the perpetuation of the establishment two-party system enslaving us all through this divide and conquer politics. It is the establishment lie that to vote against the ‘lesser of two evils’ is both better than not voting at all, and indeed your ‘patriotic’ ‘duty’ as an American. This is playing their game. This is exactly what they want. This is why the corrupt establishment continues to rule on, b/c well-intentioned souls continue to support it in the name of fighting the perceived ‘greater evil’.
NO, this is not true, this is the fallacy, the illusion that perpetuates the establishment. It is the duty of a slave to choose a new slave-master. It is the duty of those who truly oppose the establishment to withdraw our support for it and find a way to bring the system down. Slaves didn’t get free by begging their slave masters for more freedom, they got free by running away from plantations and jumping on the Underground Railroad, or by popular uprising.
In reality, it is the system which is evil, and the leaders are but puppets (as you well know, unless I am misreading or misunderstanding a number of previous posts of yours). Therefore to think that support of any kind for either of these corrupt politicians is anything but support for the same corrupt system you claim to oppose is but a delusion.
As to who you choose to fight against, in my mind it matters not, because it is the system we are fighting, not the faces of the so-called ‘leaders’ of that system. But if this is how you see it, why not choose Trump, as he’s more evil in your mind, and should theoretically thus be easier to fight against. Wouldn’t the obviously more corrupt, insane, fascist ‘leader’ be easier to galvanize opposition against? Just some food for thought. I appreciate much of what you share in many posts, but on this issue obviously very strongly disagree :)
P.S. I think Trump is the Zionist choice and will win the election for that reason, having been pre-ordained to win. I also think all this focus on the election is a massive ploy to keep people divided and distracted in the face of the ongoing technocratic rollout...
Yes! Thanks so much for this response @jasonliberty! This is exactly how I feel about voting in any other circumstance, and I've said as much on several occasions: a vote for either candidate is, ultimately, an affirmation of the status quo that's been screwing us over forever. To not vote is the right thing to do, to not grant any platform to the corrupt and bribed political system. I take this position with the people in mind; I'm not an anarcho-capitalist by any means, but I also don't believe everything would go to proverbial hell if America or any other country would have to exist without government for a while...
Advocating for a Joe Biden, just this once, vote comes from the same place though; it's with the people in mind, the American people, but also the rest of the world. And also the system that we're fighting. That system naturally leads to fascism in my opinion, and that's becoming apparent all over the western world right now. With that in mind, I'm fully aware that a possible Biden presidency is only buying time, or, from a more pessimistic perspective, prolonging our collective pain...
So, I respect anyone's choice to withhold their vote, I always do. But I'm genuinely afraid that this idealistic stance will hurt us all this time around, especially seeing that the people who would normally vote Democrat are, rightly, the most disillusioned voters. And yes, I agree that Trump is by far the easier one to galvanize anger against, but choosing him for that reason would be unconscionable at this moment in time, and it's also a continuation on the path of polarization, the very path that brought American society on the brink of total disintegration. That's my opinion, judging from the outside of course. Choosing for Biden is not something I like to do, it's just the practical thing to do, the non-ideological utilitarian thing to do. I'm writing a very short post today with a video that explains this a lot better than I could; I hope you'll read / watch it.
Thanks again my friend; I can totally see where you're coming from and in principle agree with almost everything you say 😁 🙏🏼
