MSM’s favorite feminist bully Anita Sarkeesian trashes ‘abusive’ Cards Against Humanity co-creator, but only after taking his cash

Published

on

Never lacking reasons to insert herself under the spotlight, Anita Sarkeesian is once again using her feminist status to cancel a man over allegations of abuse, though in doing so her hypocrisy has been exposed for all to see.

With a post over on her Medium blog, the grifting queen comes out swinging and calls Cards Against Humanity co-creator Max Temkin an abuser. The catalyst for this is a thread on Twitter that makes some pretty wild leaps to arrive at the hot topic of the week, racism.

https://twitter.com/atheresastewart/status/1269310744715280385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1269310745747042304&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rt.com%2Fop-ed%2F491538-feminist-anita-sarkeesian-abuse%2F

I recommend reading the thread for yourself, but the general gist is that the company Slack channel can be overly snarky – something to be expected given the game they create is sold on its offensive humor – and one employee didn’t like some responses she got to a request, so she looks for reasons to cry bigotry.

Considering all that’s happening throughout the world as issues on race become the main focus, Anita, always miraculously able to force herself into whatever is currently trending, seemingly decided to go the ashamed white ally route and bend over backwards to apologize for not sticking up for her fellow black feminists. This being the result of her long time friendship with Mr. Temkin.

With loaded language she calls him a liar, and goes into a spiel about the power dynamics he holds and the way he abuses that power. Actions which she claims have led to a toxic, racist, and sexist workplace environment.

Intermingled within all of this is a discussion of rape allegations from a supposed 2006 incident that were first brought to light in 2014. As per the blog post where the allegations were thrown up online, for eight years the person pushing the claim never reported it, or told others her story. She also expresses having no wish to press charges. And conveniently she wrote it all without revealing her full name.

In a country where innocent until proven guilty is, or was, the mantra, the fact is that there’s nowhere near enough evidence to say with any certainty that Max Temin is a sexual harasser. In his own blogpost from 2014, he responded to the allegations and even revealed that he knows who made them. He also mentions how he could pursue legal recourse, such as suing for libel, but that he isn’t going to.

Fast forward to today and his denial of sexual assault is now labeled by Sarkeesian as “deflected blame” and “implicit legal threats.” I guess if you’re falsely accused of rape you must just lay back and accept it. Grossly ironic, huh?

Anyone who has followed Sarkeesian’s career for any duration of time is all too well aware of the ways in which she takes allegations and touts them as fact. Arguably she had a hand in the suicide of Alec Holowka. He was a game developer accused of decade-old abuse by Zoe Quinn, and when this went down, Anita was quick to jump on the bandwagon to push her own brand while also touting such rhetoric as “believe women.” Though apparently that only extends to women who won’t hurt her financial ties, as during this period she was profiting due to her friendship with Max.

She also has a history of using people and discarding them when she’s done. All things which are on full display in this latest debacle.

By her own admittance she was friends with Max, even after knowing such allegations existed. She’s been on his podcast, and he on hers. She’s stayed at his home and used his Chicago office to complete work. On top of that, she’s accepted donations from the guy. And she’s teamed up with Cards Against Humanity for fundraising efforts.

But now that she’s gotten what she needed, it’s time to throw him under the bus, which is exactly what she’s done. Her blog post ends with a call for people and businesses to cut all ties with Max and the companies he’s linked to. In her own words she wants to “reduce the amount of social power he wields.” In simpler terms, she wants to destroy him.

Broken down, Anita was all too willing to financially thrive with the help of Max Temkin and Cards Against Humanity, but now that a bigger social trend is here, she’ll put on a show and ruin him because that’s where her next financial opportunity lies. Pay attention to how she always has a new reason to poke her head up with each major event.

This is the Feminist Frequency grift. One you can easily spot due to the trail of bodies it leaves in its wake.

Erdogan election defeat would be ‘revenge’ – Syrian Kurds

Published

on

The YPG claims the Turkish president failing to win another term would be payback for Ankara’s counter-terrorism operations in Syria

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s defeat in this month’s presidential election would serve as “revenge” for Türkiye’s military operations in Syria, a top official of the People’s Defense Units (YPG) has said.

Salih Muslim, one of the leaders of the YPG — a Syrian militant group affiliated with the Turkish Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and designated by Ankara as a terrorist organization — said in an interview with Medya Haber Kurdish TV channel that his organization has grown frustrated with Türkiye’s counterterrorism operations ongoing in the northern part of Syria since 2016, Daily Sabah reported.

“Now, we have an opportunity in our hands,” Muslim said, stressing that the YPG is eager to see Erdogan unseated. “It’s the first time we have such a thing happening in elections.” He added that “If we can win at the ballot box, we will take all the revenge from [the defeat of] one person.”

Muslim’s statement comes as several members of the YPG and the PKK have openly expressed support for Erdogan’s main challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, as the two head into a runoff election on May 28. In the previous round, held on May 14, both candidates failed to secure an outright majority with Erdogan gaining just over 49.4% of the vote while Kilicdaroglu received 44.96%.

Kilicdaroglu has vowed to mend Ankara’s relations with NATO and revive Türkiye’s EU membership talks, which have been effectively stalled since 2016. He has also accused Russia of spreading “conspiracies” and “deep fakes” apparently referring to footage circulating online purportedly linking him to the PKK, and told Moscow to get its “hands off the Turkish state.” Russia has rejected the accusations.

Somalis cheer on Türkiye’s Erdogan to win re-election

Erdogan has repeatedly accused his rival of “colluding with terrorists” and threatening to undo Türkiye’s achievements in its war on terror. He has also blasted Kilicdaroglu for trying to “detach” the country from Russia.

Türkiye has been waging low-intensity warfare against Kurdish militias along its Syrian and Iraqi borders for four decades, in a back-and-forth campaign that has claimed the lives of over 40,000 people.

The PKK and its affiliates have been waging an insurgency since 1984 demanding political and cultural autonomy with the final goal of establishing an independent Kurdish State, laying claim to territories in southeast Türkiye and northern parts of Iraq and Syria.

Chinese special envoy meets with Zelensky

Li Hui visited Kiev to share Beijing’s views on a political settlement to the Ukraine crisis

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has met with China’s newly appointed special envoy for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, who traveled to Kiev to convey Beijing’s views on a diplomatic resolution to Ukraine’s conflict with Russia.

According to a statement published on Thursday by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Li held talks with Zelensky as well as the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, Andrey Yermak, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, and representatives from several other ministries.

Beijing said both sides had agreed that the recent phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Zelensky had outlined the direction for future relations between their two nations, which it stated should be built on mutual respect and sincerity.

During his trip, Li reiterated that Beijing is willing to serve as a peace broker to help reach a political resolution to the conflict with Russia, based on the principles outlined in a 12-point roadmap published by China in late February.

“There is no panacea in resolving the crisis. All parties need to start from themselves, accumulate mutual trust, and create conditions for ending the war and engaging in peace talks,” Li said, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s statement.

The special envoy’s two-day trip to Ukraine is the first leg of a wider European tour, during which he is expected to visit Poland, France, Germany, and Russia. Beijing has explained that the trip aims to promote communication toward “a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.”

Hungary backs Chinese plan for Ukraine

China’s peace efforts have been welcomed by Russia as well as some European nations such as Hungary, and have been praised for acknowledging the national interests of both parties.

The roadmap, however, has been criticized by some in the West. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg claimed that China lacked “credibility” as it has refused to condemn Russia’s actions in Ukraine. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell insisted that “the only thing that can be called a peace plan is Zelensky’s proposal.”

The Ukrainian president has demanded that Russia must withdraw from territories that Kiev claims as its own, as well as pay war reparations and face an international tribunal. The Kremlin has dismissed the initiative, claiming it does not take into consideration “the realities on the ground,” including the new status of four former Ukrainian regions as part of Russia.

Pakistan’s top court orders release of former PM Imran Khan

Published

on

Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered the release of former prime minister Imran Khan, whose arrest earlier this week triggered deadly protests across the country, Geo TV news channel has reported.

The court considered an appeal by Khan’s legal team on Thursday, ruling that the arrest of the opposition figure was illegal, according to the broadcaster.

The leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party was detained on an order from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Tuesday as soon as he arrived at a lower court in connection with a graft case against him. He has been held at a police compound in the capital, Islamabad, since then.

Khan’s spokesperson told Al Jazeera that the 70-year-old was apprehended in court before he could even appear before the judges, which was “in violation of all laws.” The PTI party claimed that it was not an arrest, but “an abduction,” and called on its supporters to take the streets.

Pakistan deploys army after Imran Khan’s arrest

Pakistan has been gripped by violent protests for the last three days, with demonstrators clashing with security forces and setting government buildings on fire in major cities across the country. The government of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has deployed the military in an attempt to curb the unrest.

Some 2,500 of Khan’s supporters, including some top figures in his party, have been arrested so far. Local media have reported at least 11 protesters killed and hundreds of police officers wounded.

Numerous criminal cases have been launched against Khan since his removal from office after a no-confidence vote in April 2022. The PTI leader, who remains highly popular in the country, denies all accusations against him.

The politician claimed a year ago that he had been deposed as a result of a US-led “international conspiracy” and accused his opponents of receiving money from foreign forces.

Khan has been making active attempts to return to power since then, staging massive rallies across the country. The former premier survived an assassination attempt last November, escaping with a non-life-threatening leg wound after several bullets were fired at him.
