Counterpunch is a mixed bag that has leaned heavily into positions I oppose--from Syria to the "shortstops"--over the past six years or so I've been publishing there. But they still publish good voices, and have published my own peices going against their grain--except for my recent piece opposting vaccine mandates. That's a no-no for them. As it is for many on the left.
i confess I do not know what specific "misogyny" you are referring to. I'm not readding it as consistently as i used to.
I don't often read Johnstone but I understand why many frequently share her thoughts and I feel she is an important voice, particularly as a palatable introduction to deeper political analysis. I just discovered this piece but observed independently long ago how this gang of pricks at cp were misrepresenting and abusing her in their pieces.
I also note how few female voices are promoted on cp while the angry, stubborn white male sophists publish with impugnity. If they weren't so insular perhaps they would notice what a joke they've become. I was quite tickled by this Grayzone piece on one of the gang, though was unable to locate the astonishing and hilarious video discussion, perhaps censored to protect an asset?
Counterpunch has become a total disgrace. Have you noticed the unapologetic misogyny of their favored shortstop clique?.
Thanks for reading and commenting, David.
