Without the West he wouldn't have the smart phone he uses to push his rhetoric, or a car, or electricity or even the internet.

And then did a 180 after and claimed it fell on its own bec of fires lmao. Ppl are really dumb if they fall for that, and Im sorry to see Abby toe the line for what seems to be acceptance into mainstream US leftist gatekeeping.

@@thomasmurdochduncan I'd bet that her current position about that subject is plainly for comfortability and thus making her a limited hangout.

Two of the realest people i know, I am who i am because of people like this, who are so brave at telling the truth the elite will shut them down!

[@missl7382]

Thank you for having such an amazing conversation and revealing the truth. More people should listen to this.

[@desireegerber]

O jeez I wish Abby had pushed back on Technique's portrayal of 1976 USSR in Afghanistan. They never invaded. This is a Western trope. They were asked to come and help fight against imperialist backed rogue groups by the rightful government of Afghanistan. So much history buried in the West. I guess anyone can get it.

This interview is amazing

[@AndreDiasRJ]

Abby, you should review 911 and the WTC7

[@Zhicano]

She's already on board with the truth. The problem is that the truth of 9/11 shouldnt be associated with right wing ding bats like Marjorie Tayler Greens

[@rullebullerodmule297]

She did once, then she turned 180° because that's more comfortable.

[@elhorrendo7026]

Finally... Thank you very much for publishing your last album in full for free online, Tech. Much respect

I'm so happy this randomly rolled up on my feed. Great discovery.

[@bearcathampton5844]

Abby, 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB.....and Immortal Technique even used to Rap about it in LOTS of his songs. It's really weird to me that she made the 9/11 is an inside job correlation with being "Bat crap crazy". Does she even know who she is interviewing?? And WHY didn't he correct her or say anything about her comment??

[@singesinge23]

Right?! And maybe it wasn't an "inside job" for say, but US, Israel and Saudi Arabia were clearly involved... she criticize those tree all the time, pointing out "real conspiracy" from them, but can't wrap her head around that they could have been involved, criminally, by those???

[@Raydaruckuz]

That's because she hates MTG so much, so even on the few issues that she's 100% right on, Abby just doesn't want to give her that inch...if ignoring her social conservativism and theocratic views, then most lefties would applaud the fact that MTG is right on Ukraine, right on Assange, right to want to abolish the FBI/CIA, and right on 9/11...she's further "left" on these issues than even most members of the squad. Lol

[@URin1984]

I found that odd as well. Funny because they kept calling out others for being hypocrites, but weren't being all that consistent themselves.

[@Zhicano]

Abby is a 9/11 truther. The problem with Marjorie Tayler taking up that position is that it pivots the conversation to a place that is seen as invalid and crazy by liberals. If the truth about 9/11 is fused with right wing craziness no one will believe you when you talk about the real deep state that IT talks about here. I wouldn't be surprised if Greene has a CIA agent speaking to her through an earpiece every time she says something

[@Raydaruckuz]

@@Zhicano so gatekeeping is the better alternative? If some on the right is finally catching up to us, and agreeing with us on some key issues, wouldn't the better strategy be to welcome them, and try to encourage them to change their minds (or at least find common ground) on our other disagreements....love or hate MTG, she has millions that love her and agree with her, even if she has "CIA in her earpiece". They don't.. I hate her theocratic views as well, but instead of looking for allies that pass our purity tests, maybe we should look at things on case by case basis, and win the battles we can.
