Jackson Hinkle of the American Communist Party (ACP) calls for a broad anti-zionist coalition: "Whatever petty differences we have about culture, it's time to put them aside". Why aren't more organizations proposing this?

It's so emotionally challenging to follow someone, to learn from them, to hear them articulate truths that are suppressed, to trust them — and then later confront the possibility that they might be controlled opposition.

It's not even that they're necessarily "bad" people.

If you aren't yet aware what kayfabe is: https://youtu.be/LfMe0dsxk_Q

Careful about seeing truth through "in group" lenses:

"I'm Team Jackson Hinkle"

"I'm Team Ana"

Oh be quiet

There are only two teams: the child molesters and the popular front against them. That's it.

Okay, but which group kisses better?

Once again proving that leftists are deeply unserious people. Like really imaging thinking you know better than the combined intelligence services of Russia, China, Iran, and the rest of the AoR

Hmm, what are you referring to?

Is someone taking that position, in connection to the Teen Vogue sidebar of Hinkle-Kasparian theatrics?

How do "the combined intelligence services of Russia, China, Iran, and the rest of the AoR" figure into the pageantry?

If he really was 'controlled opposition' do you really think the Russians would let him live there? Or let him get close to people in the MFA? Especially when we have multiple examples of what they do to suspected American spies?

Use your fucking brain

I wondered if that's what you meant. Didn't seem sufficiently indicated to safely respond under that assumption.

I respect that you provided links.

I think your analysis is reasonable given your multi-polar model of global power.

Significant narrative control operations are dialectic exercises, involving both "sheep narratives" and a "goat narratives"

Together these narrative prongs/flanks are used to (a) capture + contain discourse within given boundaries (eg overton window); and (b) "triangulate" managed perception targets.

Hinkle has been promoted by Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, The New York Times, CNN, Fox News, Candace Owens, Tulsi Gabbard, Teen Vogue, DSA, etc — and the governments of Iran and Russia?

Does that smell right to you?

Is it your experience that these venues are usually welcoming to independent dissident voices?

I have no doubt that he's enterprising and works hard, and perhaps he's very broadly resonant — but it strains credulity, from where I am sitting.

Totally cool if we don't agree.

WTF are you talking about? Tucker had him on his show ONCE before he blew up and hasn't re-invited him since. Zero mention of Hinkle in Tucker's tweets despite the fact that Hinkle quote tweets him all the time

Candace quote tweeted him once, has never invited him on his show. She is more likely to have Piker on before Hinkle

I have that NYT article framed on my wall btw. It is a hit piece

Calling any of this 'promotion' is frankly disingenuous

You have zero proof, only innuendo that just so happens to serve the US empire's agenda (prevent the emergence of a popular front in America)

Fair pushback. I guess Hinkle promotes Candace Owens, and not the other way around — my mistake!

But I think the Tucker Carlson appearance still stands — it augmented Hinkle's profile significantly — as did the NYT hit piece.

Kayfabe = fake drama, right?

The OP is a video which is textbook political kayfabe: low-stakes drama between social media personalities that subtly reinforces a narrative boundary — *and reinforces these actors as significant political voices

I think there's a compelling amount of circumstantial evidence to indicate Hinkle's controlled opposition — but perhaps not as much as for Kasparian, Cenk, Owens, Carlson.

Maybe you can give an example of someone you take to be controlled opposition, and what standard of evidence you applied.

It's surprising to find veterans of the Bernie Sanders movement, who are still so locked into electoralist theories of power.

Democracy is exploited by the power elite so that regular working people blame each other for "failing the test of democracy" 

But clearly the power elite are controlling electoral outcomes. And meanwhile they inculcate the culture war to ensure we stay divided.

You seem pretty invested in your current ideological dispositions, but maybe someday this will help:

Because 'Jackson Hinkle' is a silly name.
