Tulsi CFR 'Concern Trolling' Ramping Up
Posted by iantepoot@reddit | tulsi | View on Reddit | 3 comments
In the recent Tulsi videos, I'm noticing a new concern troll being put out there about her membership in the CFR. It's not a new one, but it seems suddenly a bunch of 'concerned' posters have decided to all focus on this with the 'was for Tulsi now I'm not' spiel. Fortunately, Tulsi has addressed this, so here's a few links:This is a YouTube link to a video I clipped out from the larger MCSC Convo Couch interview, because it cuts directly to the CFR question and Tulsi's response without commentary so is a good 'quick response' video (as a note, I'm not really interested in promo'ing my channel, I just needed this as a platform to publish the clip):
Here is a link to this same clip with some commentary from the Progressive Voice:

And here's the full MCSC/Convo Couch interview that covers a lot of great topics:

I know that this is an old thread, but in case anyone is still following, here is an interesting and I think important read, regarding Hindu nationalism, Modi, the RSS, etc.: https://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2019/12/red-white-and-saffron-why-american-anti-fascists-must-combat-hindu-nationalism/

.... I SURE as hell wish that Tulsi would make an explicit stand against Hindutva and its extremely toxic (Nazi) associations.

I officially gave up on Tulsi. I have a pretty good track record with my political analysis but she is a big stain on that since I never picked on her being a grifter, career opportunist or worse — someone who is weak enough to let whatever group pats her on the back or is mean to her change her beliefs (which means she never truly believed in anything).
The only thing I take comfort in is that she fooled people like Bernie and Kyle Kulinski too, so it wasn’t 100% me simply being a naive dummy.

I hear you. She fooled me too, at least partially. I had some reservations but thought there was a good chance that she was authentically progressive to at least some extent. Oh well. I supported Bernie, too. Life these days is a series of ever-increasing cynical-ization moments. It feels like they are ALL sold out or compromised.
