Thanks for this little fact, which pisses me off even more.
Corn, Cooper and anybody else is free to join a website like this new one, but their decision shows an incredible lack of political insight, even for liberals. Arguing with the opposition at a neutral website is perhaps understandable, but their participation in a new venture created by the owner of Little Green Fascist only aids the opposition.
Several months ago we had a discussion here about the ethics of crossing picket lines. Most leftists and anarchists have deep-seated beliefs that picket lines should never be crossed. Why haven't we developed a similar ethic when it comes to aiding and supporting our opposition? Why should Corn and Cooper get away with joining this new website, which is run by assholes who have dedictaed their lives to eliminating those of us on this list. Some of you may think that this is all just a bunch of innocent debate over politics, but the people running this project have had some affect in prejudicing the population against US. If my friends are being put in jail because of a political climate created by American neo-fascists like Johnson, then I have every right to scream about people like Corn and Cooper playing with the enemy.
If I subscribed to The Nation I would cancel it right now, but I cancelled that rag ten years ago because of its drift toward the right.
