Me seven months ago:

If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.

You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.

If Harris is the harm reduction candidate, who for?

Leaving aside which of the two genocidal fascist choices was worse, because i think that's just splitting hairs at this point...I for one appreciate Caitlin Johnstone's writing. I don't see it as whining at all. Yes she keeps repeating herself but that's because what she is saying about the brutality and inhumanity of US empire is something that needs to be repeated over and over ad nauseam until it sinks in with everyone who can be a potential ally in the fight against this genocidal empire, against this enemy of humanity.

She’s not wrong and usually I find her writing insightful, I just think “actually you and the group you view as your mortal enemies are the same” is a less than optimal rhetorical strategy for convincing anyone who isn’t already in the know and just comes across as incredibly smug and annoying to ‘normal’ folks. I was being overly flippant though I’m sure.
