I'm not reading much into this, it is just funny how the modern MSNBC brain is literally the same as modern Fox News brain, but Fox News viewers are just a bit too old and lazy to try and shoot Biden/Harris.

I don't really care enough to follow but is consensus that he's a NAFO lib at this point?

[–] erik@hexbear.net 53 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Basically. He's your typical swing voter. Went for Trump in 2016. Was keenly watching the 2024 primaries from the Republican side (Vivek and Hayley booster), but once Trump had it stitched up, seemed to support Biden. If you go back to the 2020 Democratic primary he actually supported Bernie when it was down to Bernie and Joe. Just all over the map.

I think the total lack of political education and class consciousness leaves people vulnerable to radicalization in a weird way. The American people need Marxism.

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

The American people will never get Marxism

The deepstate has really fallen off tbh.

I had a British friend (of all people) that was really into MSNBC in 2015 and even then it was toxic af. I still can't imagine anyone outside of DC libs watching it.

this is literally just some bluecheck groyper saying shit, is there any actual evidence that this is true?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

New York Post, today, called him a "left-wing nut." who-did-this

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You can watch the videos yourself, this guy tried to heavily involve himself in the Ukraine conflict and recruit soldiers for the foreign legion. CNN is even reporting on it.

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Yes, he's on screen in the video briefly near the end. He doesn't have a speaking role in the azov film. It seems like he attended whatever demonstration was filmed in that video and they used his face in the "sombre faces" montage.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Ok but what if this makes maga chuds call Azov nazis which then leads them down the rabbithole and they end up calling Ukraine a neo nazi state and openly support the denazification special operation by russia?

I think it would be very funny

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I am unironically hoping this makes MAGA chuds hate NATO involvement in Ukraine more.

And I hope it makes Trump even more willing to close up shop there. Inshallah.

Isn't this the second time he basically got fucked over because of Ukraine? First was his call to Zelley and now he's being assassinated over Ukraine shit. I don't know, I think Trump will definitely deescalate with Putin and sell out Zelley which is cool with me.

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

American conservatives already support Putin because he's epic trad non woke man saving white civilization. They hate Ukraine because it's cozy with Biden and got Trump impeached. Liberals swear that the Russians are pysoping American conservatives, which is true because it's a rival superpower, but I can't imagine they're trying very hard when they'll fall for anything that's vaguely anti liberal.

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The other trump shooter was in a random video as well lol

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Not just any old video, a BlackRock commercial I think lmao.

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah couldn't remember if it was them or not. Kinda weird, might just be people that'd go for this sort of adventure may be predisposed into being around weird military groups

[–] anarchotoothbrushist@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

weird military groups

BlackRock is an investment company, you are probably thinking of Blackwater (now 'Academi')

[–] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Oh yep I constantly get those two confused

MSNBC: "Trump shooter appeared in propaganda video of Russia-adjacent violent extremist group"

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

"whaat? Ukraine is adjacent to russia! Why are you booing me??"

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

It's so cool not being either a Maga chud or a nato dipshit so that both attempts are equally hilarious and we can just laugh about it instead of spending 10 hours a day lying about them for political convenience.
