Scooter Braun's group that bought Big Machine Records has ties to Carlyle Group

[illyrias_pet]

JUST IN: Turns out, @scooterbraun's Ithaca Holdings, which recently bought Big Machine Records, has CARLYLE GROUP as a SHAREHOLDER.

Carlyle Group is notorious for funding genocide in Yemen, among several other atrocities to humanity.

Shame on you, Scooter! #WeStandWithTaylor https://t.co/0YkQObNmoL

Literally had a conversation with someone the other day who said "I don't really care about foreign policy or pay attention to it" after they spent months bashing Bernie and I was like ????????????? sis you work in politics! What are you doing! Foreign policy is what the president has the most control over and it's literally life or death! It's so frustrating trying to explain to people that when people critique neoliberalism, they generally are critiquing liberal/woke "faves" for bombing kids, supporting occupation, ignoring genocide in favor of control of oil fields, backing literal war criminals, etc.

It's not because ~Elizabeth Warren is a woman and Bernie stans hate women~ (for most, anyway), and reducing it to such identity catchphrase bullshit really does no one any favors. Obama ordered drone strikes that killed hundreds of innocent kids. Regardless of whether or not he's likable, we have to do better. Don't even get me started on the Pod Save America guys who, after making endless excuses for Obama's increase in deportations and the out of control behavior of ICE and CBP under Obama, are painting themselves as a voice for woke liberals that care about immigration.

Just because conservatives are more sociopathic doesn't mean we should tolerate any of that neo-con bullshit from liberals either.

Yes Warren x Sanders discussions are annoying to read because those liberals always resort to shallow idpol arguments (mostly because they aleeady have a bias). I literally could not care less if it's a woman or a man greenlighting yet another coup in my country lol I want the candidate that won't do that in the first place!!
Pod Save America guys are a joke even in domestic policy territory. These dudes were arguing against universal medicare the other day. Can't believe they were the "bright minds" of the Obama administration. Actually I can because as you said Obama escalated ICE in his admin + other many many faults like all shit stirring he did here in Latam and ppl didn't bother to look up, even with the major wikileaks docs about it lol SOS

It's comforting to see ppl like you who are genuinely concerned with non US-residents basic human rights tho. I guess overall ppl are warming up to a less imperialist approach too, it's just hard sometimes to remember that.
