Yes, Early, I’m saying that Fox News is and has been far more dangerous to US politics than any You-Tuber, so yes I am seriously making that comparison. Fox News is not at all a mainstream news site; I think you must not be all that familiar with it if you imagine it to be on a par with, say, Sky News. Fox News is the vehicle through which the broad array of right-wing ideologues known as “America First-eras” — which includes white supremacy — gained political legitimacy and intellectual gloss.
The US population is roughly 350 million people, and Fox News is the most watched cable news network. Whereas this You-Tuber’s 50000 subscribers represents .0014% of the US population.
I truly do not know why you have such a flea in your ear about Posie Parker, one woman who none of us here on MN have elected to anything, to whom none of us have pledged any allegiance, who has no formal power unlike Fox News and no billions in her bank account unlike the billionaires funding transactivism, a woman with whom many on here have had disagreements, but — and this is the important part — who all of us recognize as being right now targeted for attack specifically in an attempt to set women against each other.
We’re not playing that kind of “gotcha” game, as it’s known in the US.
What we’re standing in is called: “solidarity.” Which is something different from “alliance.”
But back to Jennifer Pritzker: when will the trans movement denounce this horrid right-winger? Sometime before Pritzker’s gone through all those billions funding transactivism? Or will the movement wait until after all the money’s been doled out?
One thing decades of political organising teaches one to spot is opportunism.
