Wild. The video itself is getting memory holed. I found a version published by the guardian that has the section of video with a glitch cut out.
I found this one that still has the glitchy frames. Its around 1:05, “Charlie was a patriot…”

Here’s a video of Trump today reddit.com/…/trumps_face_appeared_noticeably_droo…
Here’s a video of him yesterday. x.com/disclosetv/status/…/mediaViewer?currentTwee…
In the second video, there’s even a weird glitch at about 18 seconds, where he says “Charlie was a patriot” and if you look over his head there’s like a shift or something that is noticeable.
I noticed this yesterday, I think its at least edited, but seeing him today…he does not look quite as feisty as usual. Its not worth spending time on, proving that a video was faked is not exactly the most pressing issue of our time. But I think there’s merit to the claim

Being a Marxist means dealing with actual material conditions, and recentering the human subject, thoughts and experiences, within a material analysis. The materialism that came before, and persists to this day is a kind of analysis that divides everything into categories, hides systematic relations, and hides the human spirit from scientific progress. Marx identified these problems in Theses of Feuerbach in 1844, and spent the rest of his life developing solutions, which went on to found whole social scientific disciplines, and inspire revolutionary change.
Marxism is a revolutionary worldview which centers the human experience as objective. If you think you’re a free thinker, but hasn’t studied Marx in an intentional and practical way, then you’re not. You are defaulting ideological methods that affirm the ruling ideology.
The reason I’m a Marxist is because I want to help get people from that default stage to the next stage, which is Marxism. After that, then maybe we can surpass Marx, and in some ways many Marxists have. But its very difficult to achieve without Marx. In fact someone with less education would probably be more suited to move bast dualist rationalism than virtually any academic. But within Marxism ideas don’t matter until they are put into practice in order to prove themselves in the real world, not just old books. The philosophers have only interpreted the world, the point is to change it

If you’re on the right you think he’s a Marxist commie, and don’t like commies.
If you’re a commie you don’t think he’s a commie, you think he’s full of shit and uses left wing intellectual language to hide that he’s an apologist for liberal social democracy.
If you’re an anarchist probably think he’s an avatar for a certain kind of former Soviet bloc intellectualist elitism, and he actively discourages direct action (I’ve never spoken to an anarchist about him, I might have to ask one.)
Gender critics and feminists don’t like him because he’s more than a little chauvinistic, and a vocal critic of Judith Butler.
If you’re apolitical you think he’s annoying and incomprehensible.
I think he appeals to a certain sort of budding or wannabe left intellectual. Someone who doesn’t completely understand his work as a decades-long project, probably because they are still discovering it, and the political consequences of that project. Like he says things that are interesting and sort of novel because he’s a Hegelian and Hegelian analysis can be full of all kinds of cool insights. When you assemble his arguments together as a body of work though it has a much different character than some of his more interesting points taken in isolation, which takes on a different character when put together so that one can see the arc of his work. But as a moderate Hegelian he neither fits with the right Fukuyamist Hegelians or the left Marxist Hegelians, and he is critical of both groups.
I think he understands intellectualism as a social force, and likes to bother different stripes of intellectuals. He’s controversial enough to stay relevant, and good at working the media. I think he is very intentional with all this stuff.
But he broke Jordan Peterson when they debated, and got him out of the spotlight for like a year or two and that was pretty funny

Its such a trope in movies and TV shows though. I call it the Khan trope. The narrative makes a huge deal about how unfathomably intelligent a villain is, and then when the villain is finally revealed they’re like comically evil with the most superficial and pathetic philosophy. I think its just hard for dumb TV writers (no offense) to write intelligent villains.
To me a much better villain is someone who cares a great deal about something real, and is actually very intelligent and determined, but is just deeply confused about something. People like Tulsi Gabbard or Amy Coney Barret are good examples, they were raised in these weird cults and now they have no understanding of anything outside their narrow view, and have been conditioned to reject anything that contradicts their social beliefs. A lot of people think they are doing good, the people whom they love tell them all the time how proud they are, etc. But because of their intelligence and determination they just are all twisted up in knots inside a house of mirrors that they were forced into before they had the chance to question any of it.
And yeah these people may not be super intelligent, just opportunistic and smart/determined enough and groomed to take power. But it resembles actual intelligence more than “only the strong deserve to survive heh heh heh twirls moustache villainously” that we usually get from this slop.

Abusers try to stigmatize sympathy and empathy, because as long as it is a stigma then people won’t talk to each other about their own abuse, then the abuser gets away with it. But no matter how strong and powerful an abuser is, even a fairly small number of dedicated, close-knit victims and their supporters can make the abusers lives extremely difficult, if not tip over their power completely.

Mormons are so funny, I legit feel bad for all the people who have been traumatized by these weirdos, but like these children are called “elders.”
They have all these weird rules where premarital sex is totally not permissible, but they be fucking, and then be like “its not sex with a condom on” or of course soaking. Like straight faced “I’m saving myself for marriage,” and I’m like “we’ve had sex 6 times this week, Genevieve.”
I was at a party in college and this Mormon dude who always did these awkward, overly complicated jive handshakes that felt really violating, was sitting outside upset and depressed holding a half-empty beer. He was like “its all over I’ve sacrificed everything I believe in, for what? So I can drink a beer at a party??” It was one beer he wasn’t even finished with it. Its like relax dude, I’m like 19 and spiraling into alcoholism I think you’ll be okay this one time.
Ive heard so many horror stories, but I’ve only had good and very funny experiences with Mormons. And none of this even gets into the magic underwear or like you get your own planet in the afterlife.
Idk how people believe in this stuff sober

Right, but at this point pedophilia does exist as an actual phenomenon, which the right uses to build a culture of fear and suspicion in which they can frame all their arguments credibly.
Like people are actually worried about child abuse, for many good and bad reasons. So without addressing the fear and the underlying desire for just governance then no amount of political humanism will get through. People are, irrationally, more afraid of pedophiles than they are willing to criticize the cultural implications of the meanings of words.
That’s not your fault, you aren’t creating or reproducing this phenomenon and I largely agree with you. I just think its time to start coming up with better criticisms than trying to poke logical holes. The right is fighting a war and we are having an intellectual debate. I’m a firm advocate for scientific intellectualism, while exploring even philosophical implications of your plans and actions. I think this is logically strong, but practically weak argument.

The sales people almost always end up doing well in companies. And then when they get high up in the company they only value others ability to make sales and work for bonuses. As time goes on a company’s e-suite gets more and more saturated with charismatic dummies who will do anything for a buck, leaving less room for good administrators and engineers.
