its false consciousness. the letter is actually anti-Semitic. they should read Noam Chomsky or something about manufacturing consent.

Your former president warned you previously about the devastating Jewish control of capital

Evangelical Christians are just as or more so invested in the state of Israel as Jews are.

Palestine in response to pressures on your administration by a Jewish lobby backed by enormous financial capabilities.

Again, its not "Jewish" lobby.

Osama isn't a friend of leftists.

I mean Bin Laden's a start but somehow getting Parenti or Chomsky videos to go viral would be better. Baldwin too.

I feel about Bin Laden the same way I do about Ted Kaczinsky (sp?): might have some very good points but also really bad ones and neither strike me as particularly good people. America may have deserved 9/11 but for me that doesn’t translate to any support - even critical support - for Bin Laden.

It's not at all surprising why this is considered mind-blowing to many young people who had been spoonfed "we got bombed because of our freedumbs" their entire lives subliminally. The general knowledge of America's "shenanigans" all over the world pre-9/11, never mind the MidEast in particular, is still so far behind despite being leagues better than two decades ago.

That said, seeing a lot of people "hand it" to scum like OBL and Tucker Carlson, even here, has been driving me up the wall. The antisemitic, immaterial drivel reactionaries spew simply spreads false consciousness which distracts from the root of Israel's role as an enforcer of Western capitalist hegemony. It's our job as communists to dispel that and raise class consciousness.

Educational system has failed to properly indoctrinate Gen Z, who is performing original research

JJ McCullough's response video to the "worrying trend" was honestly just kinda painful to watch. He seems like such a crotchety old man who thinks he knows better than them durn whippersnappers.

Ghouls, sowing: Yes, yes... underfund the schools... vilify all teachers...

Ghouls, reaping: The education system has failed Gen Z...

It's false consciousness and some of the kids are going to start acting foolish cause of this (idk the age of gen Z and I'm not looking it up. I'm sure you're doing fine). But gen Z is inherenting a world on this collision course with doom since before they were born and are witnessing the suffering of the millennials who tried to wrestle with that reality earnestly. It's the easiest troll of my fucking life to take the "bad guy" from some conflict that these people take seriously and say that he was right. This is elementary for being annoying, an art which defined my adolescence. Getting a news site to take down his letter and getting an article written about you is what made 4chan fun before the Nazis came in. The left should facilitate Dagestani style wrestling and cook rice in a pot you have to flip upsidedown to get out so they get an education and don't move on to calling Hitler right.

I don't think the main takeaway for Gen Z on that letter was that homosexuality and jewish people are the source of the world's ills

It'd be pretty funny if Bin Laden destroyed the US a decade after his own death not through terrorism but because some American kids read a letter he wrote twenty years earlier.

A bunch of suburbanite gen Zs become cargo cult wahhabists. Instead of having Imams they learn about Islam from the moderators of meme discord groups.

This kinda seems like an op tbh

The letter is trending? I should give it a read. Welcome to the new spin boys, buckle up!

I scroll tiktok a lot and I have not seen any of these videos.. so I don't think the left-wing accounts are really posting Bin Laden.

It feels a bit...odd.

"Our education system has failed" says people who want to defend public education so they can homeschool their kids in "respecting the troops 101"
