Who benefits from dismissing the experiences of collective identities? Or shame their efforts to mobilize?

btw it is interesting how Lasn eventually revealed himself to be an anti-semite. It's curious how fights against the oppression of groups almost always guarantee confrontation with anti-jew nutjobs. Lasn once wrote an article wondering why no one was pointing out how many Jews were in the federal reserve or how many Jews were neo-cons.

As for Assange and Snowden and Greenwald, it just goes to show if you adopt the right verbiage people won't care you're a fraud. Brand yourself a freedom fighter, and some people will just love you for it.
