    Throughout the debate, Jackson Hinkle keeps saying that every US leftist is secretly a Trotskyist. I don’t remember him calling people Trotskyist before. I’m not sure why he started doing this.

      What info do his fed handlers have that we don’t? Is there some kind of big hidden Trostkyite org in the US that is about to do something major, because since print media is largely dead they stopped making newspapers and had to direct that energy somewhere else instead?

      I mean its true. Internet communists are chiefly concerned with posting, the newspapers of our time, and minor ideological squabbles, and a large portion of Internet communists are unreasonably mad at AES.

        I don’t think that’s what Hinkle meant by Trotskyist. Hinkle is an internet communist. He has been known to have the most internet-brained takes, such as saying that Farm owners are the real proletariat.

        Hinkle is a Nationalist. He views Stalin as a symbol of Nationalism. Trotsky is the anti-Stalin. My guess is that Hinkle is calling the US leftists ‘trotskyist’ because they don’t support Nationalism.

        In my memory, Hinkle usually refers to the US left as the ‘compatible left’ for being tolerant towards the Democrat Party. Hinkle tries to be compatible with the Republican Party.

      Hasan said something in relation to Hinkle dink about Trotski recently. Hinkle is obsessed with Hasan, when he was being interviewed by Donnie O’Sullivan Hinkle was spam calling Donnies phone trying to get to Hasan. Sad stuff really.

      Lots of the more legitimate communist parties in the US have trotskyist roots, even PSL. This is because during the cold war, anything that was overtly Soviet-sympathetic got stamped out and thus you have survivorship bias.

      I watched like half of it so far. Alex Jones starts off by saying that he’s accused of no longer being an outsider to the establishment. Then Jackson Hinkle says that he believes Alex Jones is still an outsider to the establishment except that he is wrong about Venezuela. Jackson Hinkle glazes Alex Jones and tries to maintain a corrective tone. Alex Jones says that he supports the Trump Monroe Doctrine. Jackson Hinkle says that he supports the Monroe Doctrine for only North America. I think last ACP put out a statement that they support the US annexing Greenland. ACP wants the US to annex Canada and Greenland but I guess not mess with Venezuela.

      Half way through the debate Alex Jones cuts to an ad for methylene blue dyed beef tallow. I have to respect the grift innovation. It’s like something you would hear on GTA radio. I know there are chud conspiracy theories for both the blue dye and beef tallow. Combining 2 grifts is innovative. Then to my surprise, Alex Jones tells us that you shouldn’t eat the blue beef fat but instead rub it on your skin. Alex assures us not to worry, it won’t dye your skin.
