TIL about Alejandro Jodorowsky. Thank you.

Caitlin Johnstone's avatar

Oh you are so very welcome!

Jodorowsky was a horrible film-maker, unless you like nonsense dressed up in a Western

At last, someone debunked Frank Zappa's assertion that politics is the entertainment department of the military-industrial complex!

Oh this was satire. Funny.

He may have passed a test but, the guy is a poster-child for 'Dementia.'

OK, so which Kremlin operative put you up to this. As an American l'm tired of jealous foreigners criticizing our country -- the greatest country on the face of the earth! I only wish l could vote for Biden again!

Voting for Joe five times this past November third was not enough?

After wasting 15 minutes of my life reading this tripe, I can only come to one conclusion: you don’t write well enough to pull off either irony or humor. All you are capable of is throwing bricks at people you don’t like. No policy. No ideology. Just personal attacks. Let me clue you in on something: character-wise, there are damn few differences between a liberal and a conservative. There is, however, a big difference between someone arguing an intellectual position and someone who throws handfuls of shit at people she doesn’t like. Grow up.

I don't know Chaz, I thought it was pretty funny!

But you're right, Caitlin's role is to he a brick-thrower. Sometimes that is what you need. :-)

Lighten up, Francis.

“Lighten up, Francis”? Wow. What a witty rejoinder. You must have been the best debater in your kindergarten class.

Well, you did start it by encouraging the author to "grow up" and complaining about wasting 15 minutes. I mean, you didn't have to keep going, you could've stopped at any time. And 15 minutes is a gross exaggeration unless you stopped to watch the movie linked at the beginning.

Let's face it, you display some of the same "throwing bricks" behavior that you condemned; no constructive criticism, just frustration sprinkled with condescension.

As to policy and idealogy, well the author isn't a professional politician so policy is not her job; it is theirs. Regarding idealogy, I find Caitlin to be very consistent in her views.

Biden who belongs to the old Obama criminal team deserves as much scorn that we can dish out. why don't you grow up?

"This is outrageous, this text has no ideology". Hahaha. It was perfect, 10/10, as usual. Not that I think I'm talking to an actual individual now, Chaz is a figment of the imagination of a poorly paid, unusually slow reader either working at a comment field pest farm (I don't remember the technical term for them) in the US or in Israel. Probably Israel, those centers in the US probably shut down because they don't need them anymore because the activist industrial complex on Youtube is doing their job for them. "I'll call this account Chaz, it'll mess with people heads reading the things I write thinking I'm one of the most radical anti-establishment protesters among them. Damnit, I'm clever. If I keep this up for long enough, people are gonna realize what a great guy Biden is and how bad they should feel about themselves for their... (disgusted look in his face while thinking this) personal.... attacks... against him". Hahaha. I admit I could be wrong about this, Chaz could also be a 75 year old Biden-supporter who used the internet today for the first time in his life.

15 minutes Chaz? English as a third language? Cognition in sympathy with Joe's grey flat purview?

Be careful the rest of the day. April 1st has gotten me many times too, so I do understand.

It's April Fool's fool

Happy 4/1 Caitlin. And no I didn't look, it spoils the illusion 😜

"...frightening amounts of pharmaceuticals...." Isn't that outside Big Pharma's Overton window? Twitter should immediatedly ban all Jill Biden posts!

anti-republocrat's avatar

The test results prove only that Biden has always been a dufus old gasbag.

Glad our fearless leader proved us all wrong.

Couldn't stand the old Caitlin, hopefully the new Caitlin will be much more likable... Jeez. It's the day of we fools, a light touch is welcome...
