I don't agree with Ben Norton very often, but he is right here. People confuse disagreement over imperial strategies for principled opposition to empire. Obama used this confusion well in 08.
In this propaganda, warmonger Tucker Carlson says it clearly: "Russia is not America's main enemy... Our main enemy is China. The US ought to be in a relationship with Russia, aligned against China".
He claims China is a "profound threat" that is "murdering" thousands in the US.

I think it ought to be remarked here that the song they are singing is a Kurdish nationalist song. I think that the idea that in Kurdistan this uprising while sharing many things with the general rebellion across Iran, has a specific national character is undeniable.
Watch the awe-inspiring bravery of people of Sanandaj. Their city has been subjected to shelling by the regime since yesterday, but they went outside to dance, men and women.
Dancing is also forbidden in Iran.

Chapo Trap House's Felix Biederman criticizes Sacha Baron Cohen for criticizing social media platforms for allowing hate and conspiracy theories (reducing it to "crying about Facebook, he was one of those guys") and completely misses the point of the character of Borat.
