How long do we on the left keep giving George Monbiot a pass simply because he's good on re-wilding and neoliberalism, when he keeps invests his credibility in propping up the most powerful lobby in the world – the west's war industries https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2020-11-27/us-war-machine/ https://twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/status/1333877033961742339
It's the same pattern with Monbiot: loud demands to topple dictators (while formally and disingenuously rejecting the means – war – needed to topple them); and near-silence on the torture of Julian Assange, who actually took on the west's war machine https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2020-10-06/monbiot-guardian-assange/
Why would Monbiot big up the BBC podcast series Mayday shortly after Aaron Mate, one of its targets, demonstrated shocking blunders in its journalism and as BBC producers have gone to ground when confronted with questions they obviously can't answer? https://thegrayzone.com/2020/11/30/questions-bbc-podcast-opcw-whistleblowers/
