How many liberal/progressive blogs are now on the sh*t list :)

[newthinking]

Anybody keeping track of how many progressive/leftward blogs are now considered by many here as "propaganda outlets, "putinista's", or the "Far Leftists"?

The war in Ukraine seems to have brought out the hawk in folks and it is hard to recognize this place at the moment with all the trashing of traditional progressive writers and outlets?

1. I once saw Howard Zinn denounced on this very site

as a commie and a bad scholar.

That was several years back, after he ventured a mild and polite criticism of you-know-who.

3. The first step in any successful revolution is to destroy all the other revolutionaries

Remember - the things that divide us are greater than the things that unite us.

4. Some are here to manage our perceptions and expectations, and some to keep us blaming ourselves ....

.... for the failures and betrayels of those we're supposed to support. Give them a break; it's been a very difficult time for them lately.

6. I've only consistently seen RT, Foxnews, and counterpunch

Badmouthed with consistency. And b the way...saying Putin and RT and other Russian propaganda arms are lying sacks of shit doesn't make anyone a hawk.

7. Some consider any site that isn't whitehouse.gov to be the enemy

Because that is where some hard core fans get all their news from. Any other site is suspect.

8. It's really very simple.

If you're opposed to imperialism no matter which country does it, then you're anti-imperialist.

If you're opposed to imperialism when certain countries do it but will jump through hoops and use any tu quoque argument available to justify other countries' imperialist agendas, then you're a hypocrite.

I don't waste time on hypocrites.
