Comments by "L.W. Paradis" (@l.w.paradis2108) on ""Left Populists" Attack AOC as Trump Considers Martial Law" video.

  1. Pelosi just appointed Kathleen Rice to chair a committee that AOC wanted to chair, and Rice not only started out in politics as a Republican, but also withheld her vote for Pelosi last time. What does all that tell you? Maybe playing hardball in the health care fight during a pandemic is the right way to go? (BTW, appointing Rice over AOC was a low blow, however you want to cut it. What a snake.)

  2. The rest of the real world has health care.

  4. Real reason for Jimmy being hate bombed: nothing to do with AOC, etc. Jimmy pointed out the CARES Act was the BIGGEST UPWARD TRANSFER OF WEALTH in human history. It's always about "follow the money."

  5. The "Jimmy bought a house" meme isn't working anymore. Late to the party.

  6.  @fubartotale3389  There is even more money in "Trump is a Putin puppet" and "Trump will declare MARTIAL LAW . . . !!!!" but you endorse that delirium anyway. Maybe Dore really is angry. Plenty of his videos are not rants, but provide solid information you don't see everywhere. His wife helps with research. The "martial law" meme, on the other hand, is sheer falsification, and irresponsible. "Biden, because TRUMP" "Nancy, because martial law" (???) What comes next? War with [fill in the blank], because [Russia] [China] [WMDs] ["gassing his own people"] ["humanitarian intervention"] ["think of the children"] (pick one or more, quick).

  7.  @fubartotale3389  Un huh. Plus slogans and cliches, instead of thinking. And this YouTuber has monetized moving his lips in an exaggerated fashion. Marvelous. (BTW, how are Trump's unhinged tweets and delirious musings relevant to M4A? Or to keeping Pelosi as Speaker?) You're all spoiled. Other people in this world work for their money.

  9.  @fubartotale3389  I apologize for saying "you," especially because it was meant in a more generic sense and it did not come across that way at all. What I had in mind were the people one or two generations behind you, making fortunes as social media "influencers," and in other advertising-related and "infotainment" (i.e., propaganda) fields. The Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, etc., fortunes are essentially that. Even Dore (55 years old) was a bricklayer. People like you, who were born right after WWII and the Great Depression, had entirely different lives, and I know that. Anyway, I do apologize.

  10.  @brye6690  You begrudge a former bricklayer who had a medical bankruptcy for buying his first nice house at age 55? Why? Because he is working class?

  11.  @jamesmarhen  Pelosi's district is one of the richest in the world, so of course she has a lock on it. She managed to lose seats, a LOT of seats, during an election when the other ticket was headed by Trump. She just appointed Kathleen Rice to chair a committee that AOC wanted to chair, and Rice not only started out in politics as a Republican, but also withheld her vote for Pelosi last time. What does all that tell you? Maybe playing hardball in the health care fight during a pandemic is the right way to go?

  12. Anyone who campaigned on the platform of M4A should withhold their vote now that Pelosi managed to lose seats. It's called politics.

  15. What is this new word, "cancer??" Over 5300 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every week, and that's just one form of cancer. I'm seeing this word everywhere now, especially on business websites. You'd think people would be more enlightened during a pandemic.

  18. When they were accused of anti-Semitism they did not fight back. Aaron Mate covered this well. As if any politician in UK could end the NHS. As if Medicare should have age discrimination.

  19.  @stigrynning  Mine have been taken down, while ad hominem and swearing are allowed to remain. Youtube personalities do not like replies that are more intelligent than their videos. Also, if you post a lot, they don't think, well, some people write fast, believe in the cause, etc. They think you must be a paid actor. I mean, they would never stand for something on principle, for free. (I'm done doing that as well. Not worth it. I have my healthcare.)

  20.  Jay M  So the pandemic is a hoax according to you?

  21.  Jay M  Easy. You act like health care is not absolutely essential, absolutely right now.

  22.  @stigrynning  I'm new to this. I only joined during the initial shutdown this year. I just know they are missing. I don't see a clear pattern, except with my own. I think posts with links may be more likely to be removed, because they are harder to monitor for TOS. That is the only possible pattern I've been able to see that seems to apply to everyone. Posts that are supportive of a nice post even get taken down. Strange times.

  23.  @stigrynning  When I had Yelp reviews taken down, I wrote and asked why. They told me that algorithms pick up posts that sound too polished, like an ad agency wrote them. That would explain good posts being removed and posts full of weird errors being allowed to stay. I've had posts disappear but never a warning about them, which I would expect if they fell under one of the Report categories for banned speech.

  24.  @stigrynning  You know what happened to me? A bunch of my comments disappeared, including very uncontroversial stuff like compliments and "fun facts" about where my family is from, really mild. Then out of nowhere, someone I never saw before or since writes a comment addressed to me: "a lot of your posts are being taken down, huh?" Never got an email warning or anything of the sort. Funny, huh?

  25. Yeah. Thinking we are going to have martial law is pretty cultish.

  26. By telling us don't push for healthcare in a pandemic because Trump will declare martial law?

  27. https://youtu.be/bPiHHQAkbmk Gray Zone did a good show on this strategy. https://youtu.be/yBfEWdh_0Ec Katie Halper also had a really good discussion pro and con on her program, with three intelligent people expressing reservations about the strategy, Briahna Joy Gray presenting the #ForceTheVote argument, and Katie agreeing with her, but being a good moderator. No one mentioned martial law. Not clear the relevance? LOL Wait. Does a person have to say "martial law?" Is it a litmus test/loyalty oath/magic word/sole way to "prove" you don't support the Orange Caligula? Advise please.

  28. Cornel West, Justin Jackson, Briahna, Krystal, Katie Halper, Max Blumenthal, Aaron, Ben Norton, Susan Sarandon, etc., I've left lots out. I guess all of them are impure. Or stupid. Or duped by a crypto-right wing comedian broadcasting out of his garage. How could that happen? Oh. Maybe the pandemic is real, and so are the millions losing health care in the pandemic. Could be.

  29.  @tbone007  Sure. Watch the Katie Halper segment. It was informative and fair. I can't think of another video that gave both sides a fair hearing, no vitriol. These are not the best of times.

  30.  Tragically Comedic  They're fighting to maintain the dollar as the global reserve currency, which provides us with our standard of living. Or do you think that happened only because we are making wonderful things that the world needs? Um, not exactly.

  32.  aboctok  We just heard this guy say with a straight face that Trump will declare martial law. After that, not much sounds crazy.
