Tankie Attack!

That escalated 🙃

Two of the most blatant and harmful Kremlin propagandists on the “left” side of the horseshoe took shots at me over the last couple of days on Twitter. Both Matt Taibbi and Jimmy Dore thought they could own this particular lib. I’m not going to pretend I didn’t enjoy it. Here’s some background on “tankies.”

How the Kremlin is Converting American Leftists into Fascist Digital Soldiers

The “Twitter Files” is just Musk’s psyop to distract people from what really happened on Twitter before he owned it, and to give himself an excuse to turn Twitter into 8chan.

Elmo Does Wikileaks: “THE TWITTER FILES”

Matt Taibbi was in charge of “Twitter Files #15” for Elon Musk which was all about cherry-picking emails from Twitter executives to allege they were overzealous in their concerns about Russian interference and blames a data analysis tool called “Hamilton 68” for a “new McCarthyism.”

So I did a counter-thread.

Matt Taibbi objected with a classic straw man where he intentionally conflates “Russian influence” and “Russian propaganda” with literal Russian citizens.

Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi

“Of course they weren’t ‘Russian?’” The point of the site was to provide reporters with a tool to identify “Russian” influence activities. If you think I or any other American who promotes ideas you don’t like should be on such a list, you’re admitting the scam.

“In layman’s terms” means in Kremlin apologist terms. Of course they weren’t “Russian,” Matt. Neither are you and all you do is Kremlin propaganda. Also “ordinary” is just a straight up lie and you know it. https://t.co/50IskLZ7WE

The vast majority of Russian influence in America comes from compromised Americans, as Matt Taibbi knows because he’s one of them.

Jim Stewartson, Antifascist #RIPQ 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ @jimstewartson

Stop deflecting, Matt. The way “Russian” influence happens is through Americans being compromised, not by Igor typing away in St. Petersburg. You know this because you are one of those compromised Americans.

It’s fascinating that Kremlin apologist Matt Taibbi’s whole thread is based on emails collected from the guy who oversaw my illegitimate ban from Twitter, Yoel Roth. Taibbi is trying to spin Roth’s comments to “prove” liberal bias, when, as I know from direct experience, the truth is quite the opposite.

Jim Stewartson, Antifascist #RIPQ 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ @jimstewartson

Yoel Roth was being overtly influenced by a bunch of leftist propagandists who accused anyone of pointing out Russian influence as “BlueAnon.” Yoel Roth also did nothing about 1/6.

Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi

35.Again, even Roth, like most Twitter execs an ardent Democratic partisan, saw that the Hamilton scheme would lead people “to assert that any right-leaning content is propagated by Russian bots.” https://t.co/XqepteKMOg

But the tankie attack didn’t stop with Matt Taibbi. Horrific tankie propagandist Jimmy Dore got mad when I tagged him while tweeting about Nancy Pelosi’s would-be hammer assassin David DePape and took the opportunity to spread more lies.

Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore

It’s true, I brainwashed DePape into practicing gay hammer sex. Then I engineered a few mass shooting in California over the weekend. They got me.

Jim Stewartson, Antifascist #RIPQ 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ @jimstewartson

It’s important context that David DePape was not just radicalized by neo-fascists, which he was, but also by people like @joerogan, @TulsiGabbard and @jimmy_dore who gave his previously leftist brain a pathway to Nazism and murder. https://t.co/3y8qrlW7GE

Jimmy was intentionally sending his cultish followers to try to intimidate or silence me. I got several hundred replies from his fans. These are mild ones.

You may be surprised to learn that I did not, in fact, back down from propagandist Jimmy Dore. When the video came out disproving Jimmy’s lies about “gay hammer sex” I took the chance to ask him to make a correction. So far no luck.

Jim Stewartson, Antifascist #RIPQ 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ @jimstewartson

Hey @jimmy_dore now that the video of attempted hammer assassin David DePape attacking Paul Pelosi is out — disproving all your conspiracy theories — are you going to apologize to your tankie cult for lying to them for months?

Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore

It’s true, I brainwashed DePape into practicing gay hammer sex. Then I engineered a few mass shooting in California over the weekend. They got me. https://t.co/jeCHXIwAtx

For the record, I repeat: If you do not need to use Twitter, you should abandon it. There are still good people on Twitter and I’m grateful for my friends and followers there, but it is being turned into a neo-Nazi radicalization engine in front of us.
