Why would the US government wants to persecute the most renowned fedposters on Lemmy?

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

We are Russian and Qatar funded, not CCP

[-] jorge@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hah! Weak Hexbear! We lemmygrads are funded by the DPRK.

Fuck them. The bourgeoisie have tried to kill communism for hundreds of years. They haven't succeeded and they never will. hammer-sickle

'Fun' fact: NYT red scare bs reporting two years ago about the same person resulted in the Indian Government using equivalent laws (and some worse ones) against a left-wing news org.

FAIR.org with a takedown of the original NYT article about Singham from two years ago

Rubio was mad about it:

So it should come as no surprise that the piece has led to a call for a federal investigation into those Singham-funded nonprofits. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) sent a letter to the Justice Department citing the Times article and arguing that the groups, including the antiwar organization Code Pink and the socialist think tank Tricontinental, “have been receiving direction from the CCP [Chinese Communist Party].” Rubio concluded, “The CCP is our greatest adversary, and we cannot allow it to abuse our open system to promote its malign influence any longer.”

Sigh:

If you think China is evil and Communists are the devil—as you might, if you read US corporate news media (FAIR.org, 5/15/20, 4/8/21)—this sounds like important reporting on a dangerous man. The trouble is, there’s nothing illegal about any of this. All the Times succeeds in proving in this article is that Singham puts considerable money, amassed by selling a software company, toward causes that promote positive views of China and are critical of hawkish anti-China foreign policy, which is his right as an US citizen. If you were to replace “China” in this tale with “Ukraine,” it’s hard to imagine the Times assigning a single reporter to the story, let alone putting it on the front page.

Hey, maybe a ghoulish Republican openly frothing about China hopefully results in the libs disentangling themselves from Sinophobic fearmongering? Big cope i know but

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Liberals will be wearing swastika armbands and sieg-heiling before they even think about dropping the China bullshit

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Of course a gusano is one of the people leading it

[-] SmithrunHills@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, even more reason to like Code Pink

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

i think they confronted (verbally sicko-wistful) trumpo in a restaurant a week ago, so now getting got for ruining his dinner

[-] SmithrunHills@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

We need a vanguard party for Code Pink and Palestine Action

[-] mayakovsky@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

He was so mad about that he ranted to the press pool one day about how "nasty" they were

[-] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago
[-] mayakovsky@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

As soon as Trump hinted at this I figured they'd go after Singham

[-] PurrLure@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Huh.... so they don't care about the DSA?

Hmmmmm thonk

[-] ufcwthrowaway@hexbear.net 0 points 2 weeks ago

They will, give it 5 minutes

Actually, DSA has recently been in crisis mode over fox news contacting them for comment over members joking about Kirk's death

[-] PurrLure@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

"F-fuck you! We're not based! WE'RE NOT BASED!"

Same congress person meeting with CIA on the same day.

Same congress person on Fox News discussing the documents filed.

[-] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

They really made the CIA building look /that/ comically evil, huh?

[-] underisk@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

when even the decor screams white supremacy.

[-] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly I think they might have them nailed if they investigate them for socialist beliefs too. Maybe even affiliated with liberatory actions.

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 0 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck. Just as the PSL started picking up steam.

[-] sourquincelog@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Highest vote they've ever gotten last presidential election, 168k. Not bad considering they weren't on the ballot in 11 states

[-] miz@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

not a coincidence

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 0 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry for missing this american lore bit, but who is Neville Singham?

[-] jack@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

former ~~Black Panther~~ member of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers in Detroit who got rich as fuck in tech and gave money to help start the People's Forum

[-] BigBoyKarlLiebknecht@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

I just wish he'd run ThoughtWorks as a co-op lol

His company was beyond influential on the industry for ideas on how to build software well at scale. Unsurprisingly, they stem from facilitating the decentralization of power and increasing the autonomy of teams to really understand the problems at hand - and solve them as they see fit.

Which, of course, doesn't work under capitalism, as executives are incentivized to consolidate power...ergo people stop writing software to solve real problems, "scientific management" creeps in, leaving layers of process theatre and software that is utter dog shit

Babe wake up, new red scare just dropped

[-] MizuTama@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

We get final warnings, red scares, and so many other throwbacks. This generation really has no originality

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

It started in 2014 with the Maidan coup, and escelated in 2015 with the endless RUSSIA RUSSUA RUSSIA crap.
