From a CNN article about the school shooter

Gray’s parents’ relationship started out with promise. In July 2011, shortly after he was born, his parents bought a small farm in Barrow County, Georgia, outside of the college town of Athens. They planned to “create a non-profit, therapeutic riding school for local, under-privileged children,” his mother, Marcee Gray, who worked in industrial engineering, later wrote in a LinkedIn post. But those plans were derailed in part because her husband, Colin Gray, had at least three “major” back surgeries, she wrote. The couple, who had three children, later sold the farm in 2019, according to property records.

Bankrupted by medical debt with no support network. Turned to drugs and fascism. Horrible thinking that universal healthcare could have literally prevented this.

it could be embarrassing or lead to prosecutions of the alleged war criminals.

Oh no! We wouldn't want to prosecute Nazis now would we? That'd be embarrassing

Depends on your tolerance for liberalism. He has been advocating for Palestine for decades, calls the occupation apartheid, and recently called for supporters of Palestine to be "faithful unto death" in their support of Palestine and oppressed people. He was denied tenure at Harvard in 2021 "based on the Harvard administration's hostility to the Palestinian cause" and his criticism of Israel and call for BDS. He has supported BDS for years now, said it was good to burn American flags in protest of the genocide, and praised Aaron Bushnell's "moral message". He's not a Marxist but understands historical materialism well enough and has reasonable opinions on most things. I enjoyed his interview with Finkelstein which is more academic than his political rallies. His critique of Kendi and Douglass was great.

His entire political project is formed by both Gramsci and black American cultural history. He is rigidly for a bottom-up organization set out by Gramsci to build a working class coalition, but that has caused him to make odd alliances at times and to seem too accepting and shows up in places like Fox News or Newsmax. His language can also seem odd if you weren't raised in a black church. He has literally 40 years of speeches, books, and classes if you want to dive in a bit more into his project.

West won't ever win public office, and your vote for him does not matter ultimately. If you voted for Bernie enthusiastically, West is an improvement in every sense. If Bernie was too lib for you, PSL is probably the way to go.

The UK supreme court ruled it doesn't support the right to self determination within the borders of our own country so why should we be jumping up and down about Taiwan?

It's free and fun for me. I wanted to learn docker and various networking stuff. For normal end users, I don't think there's any benefit like you pointed out

The big deal is there’s no shame. They couldn’t sing about any other violent group, from the Ku Klux Klan to Al-Qa’ida, because their acts are rightly seen as grotesque and their cause entirely illegitimate and immoral. But there’s no shame in the IRA. Why?
