However, I can’t help notice the rise of independent media is allowing people to have opinions that haven’t been able to hold before. The anti-genocidal anti-zionism we see is completely transmitted by non-corporate mainstream outlets. Would Mamdami have been possible if everyone only watched CNN and the New York Times and not Hasan Piker or Democracy Now? I don’t think so.
So maybe it depends on the venue, but until we can make openly leftist arguments on mainstream media, we’re going to be fighting uphill.
And it’s already started with anti-Israel sentiment; Al-Sayed was on some cable show openly calling Israeli’s actions genocide–absolutely unthikable a few months ago.
I guess.
