Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate are pretty shitty people in their own right

Idk if they're getting funded, but Gray Zone definitely sucks. Their coverage is consistently atrocious, and they publish unmitigated apologia for some of the worst regimes on the planet (specifically Assad). I've made this point repeatedly, but Max Blumenthal - the Gray Zone's founder - actually resigned from Al Akhbar after they began propagating the sort of Assad apologia he's since made a career out of. He later published a piece addressing the merits of humanitarian intervention in Syria in a far more nuanced capacity than anything that's ever appeared on Gray Zone. It seems pretty evident that he's a grifter who's found a very particular niche to profit off of.

Considering most anime is low effort schlock that contains episodic plots that get nowhere (and even linear narratives tend to progress at the speed of molasses), if somebody tells me they "like anime" without elaborating, I think less of them then if they told me they "like music."

It's not difficult to hold two ideas simultaneously:

X is important (because people decided to make it that way)

X shouldn't be important (and wouldn't be, if people hadn't made it that way)

I was going to post this, after finally watching it and realizing it was an incredible video.

If this is the kind of post that gets downvoted around here, the community is cooked. Lurking Reddit is the better alternative, at least that place tends to let the cream rise to the top occasionally

Have you actually seen anybody change their minds, or are you just perceiving more pro Israel people?

"'Do you want to have progress or do you want to be correct?"'

Well, now I know why this got the downvotes. Great video, btw.
