It's NYT. If you can't defend Thompson as being worth keeping alive, may as well play the woke race card and say we only like him because he's an attractive white male.

Not a criminal until a guilty verdict...

It's also not a crime to eradicate a parasite.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I mean i agree ethically and morally. I was just commenting on NYT not understanding how laws work.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (8 children)

I mean it’s a “crime” technically but that doesn’t mean we can’t nullify it!

It couldn't be because we've been starved of seeing anything resembling actual justice could it?

Horrible people do horrible things and have been getting away with it since before I was born. No wonder people are reacting the way they are.

Being handsome doesn't hurt, but people like him for what he did. He could be a hunchback and there'd be supportive quasimodo memes I'm sure.

Any place that names trump person of the year is a rag. Although the NYT has been such for quite a while anyways. I refuse to even give them click through a anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Did they do that? Holy fuck.

NYT is as corpo as media can get. We must remember what side they are on. Journalism is dead.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

The NYT is at least partly responsible for the Iraq war 2. Fuck them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

NYT has always been pro-corporate.

Law/justice is also dead, especially as folks stop believing in any piece of state evidence.

Two seconds later it could be you or me who are picked up and demonized for random stuff.

Truthfully this is my image state power. They make shiat up 100% of the time. So it's not a question of is it true or not. It's a question of how they are lying. Like a puzzle to be solved or exposed for the entertainment, but even that eventually grows old. Oh a cop MSM or a politician corpo said it ... pfft!

Citizens don't believe anything out of the State or Media. Obviously not a healthy situation when everyone is considered an actor.

I was listening to the radio this morning and the dude was saying he'd rather have CEO shootings in the news than all the school shootings. It's not dead, it's just hard to find a pulse.

Here I was heavily paraphrasing.

What? You don’t like handsome men?

When I look at him I enter my prison wife era.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That’s the fxxking legacy :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not only do I not get it, but I had to look up “prison wife”: not an imprisoned married woman but a woman whose spouse is imprisoned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It's also the man a man fucks while in prison.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Hey NYT. Suck it.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

No matter what the topic, you can always count on the NYT for a shitty take. The NYT has a very distinctive flavor of editorial shittiness that's quite hard to define but instantly recognizable. They want us to catch their carefully curated blind spots.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Top recommended on my feed was NYT article headlined "largest immigration surge in US History" under Biden. That was their top number one story today. Suggested both that it was a key factor in Harris loss and that it has already ended because of Trump election

If it wasn't so tragic it would be amusing to see the bourgeois factions stumble over each other. The parties had their obvious policies and they made a certain twisted sense for a time.

Now that none of it has worked, they're both running out of policies and simply stealing the other's lines. You can see the visceral confusion in the demi-gods and priests of capital and in the faithful.

It's the same across the western world, as the 'left' parties are unanimously trying to out-compete the 'right' on immigration. The politicians and pundits are tripping over themselves and each other. They just don't know how to frame it.

Who now is the baddy and who the goody? If we all agree that immigration is bad, does that mean the baddies are now the goodies and are the goodies now the baddies because maybe being a racist isn't the best look.

Major policies have been swapped before. It's like light through a prism and the right colour is distilled and purified. The GOP takes up anti-abortion and we now see the result of that policy-swap once it becomes the platform piece. Fuck knows what horrors we're in for when all the 'left' parties steal and horde the anti-immigrant policy as the right abandons it in favour of 'more imported servants, please'.

I used to read it a lot because it had good arts and literary sections back when actual papers were a thing. Reading the Sunday Times with a cup of coffee on Sunday in my bathrobe was a pleasure. Now they just specialize in these garbage takes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Fr. Even the right wing broadsheets had good investigative journalism at one point. It's all gone now.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The greatest trick the Times ever pulled was convincing the world it had a left-leaning bias[1].

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

The pro-slavery New York Times?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Because the arts and literary sections and the magazine were actually quite decent so it gave that impression.

The classic scapegoats aren't there this time. Can't blame him being the wrong race, wrong economic class, wrong mentally, wrong physically, or wrong sexually. Now people are actually looking at the issue that caused the "crime" and that's not good to some people.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

Luigi is deff what the media has fed society as "CHAD"

Not even being ironic here tbh

Now the only explanation why Chad would do this is "he had bad back"

Alright... go on...

FDR was also part of the elite class and he had his own issues....

Pretty successful and well off kid, definitely not just someone desperate and broke they can tear apart, and he's articulating his position against these fuckers. It's really beautiful. A folk hero.

More of a weird looking criminal really, but ok.

Corporate media is going to protect their advertisers by shotgunning bullshit articles trying to change the narrative

Not Antiwork for me, but a great post.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I can't find a better community for this, sorry. I just want left leaning people to know what bullshit they're pulling.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You could post it to US News, or the Socialism/Communism communities.

It is part of the class war... I would assume we can get some class solidarity here.
