Matt is the professor who wears a lot of rings and a cape. You're already imagining him faking a British accent.

I think he had a couple of odd jobs before chapo.

The rest had some pretty PMC or PMC adjacent jobs before Chapo though. Felix and Virgil worked for some tech millionaire's website, Brendan was a writer, Amber was a writer/professor, and Will worked in publishing.

From what I understand she left her DSA chapter because they were getting more involved with Mutual Aid and before then was involving herself with the Class Unity Caucus (or CUC like they like to call themselves) and saying anti-idpol bullshit

How did you come to understand this? Because I can't find anything that would suggest this and honestly the more I read from the people who are mad at Liu the more I like her because they're all such unbearable loving freaks, just the worst people in the world, it would be great if everyone who ever wrote on Libcom or even gave it the time of day fell into a sinkhole and was never seen again

thinking amber did something wrong at the DSA is a surefire sign they're a dunce. the whole canvassing thing where she got in "trouble" because some concern troll was calling her plan to door-to-door canvass ableist was beyond ridiculous

Elaborate? Like, he's told his story on Chapo 100 episodes ago. You cannot find any way of framing this other than an egregious miscarriage of justice and abuse of power by a bought/corrupt judge. The kind of person whose abuse of power would ideally be punished by the public in a way that would dissuade others from following their disgusting path, knowing where it will lead them in the end.

Because its all so insane it seems inherently improbable. If I knew nothing about it and you told me about it at the bar or whatever, I'd just assume you were getting the details wrong.

I mean, the private prosecution of the contempt charges, the demand for his personal documents and computers and stuff is clearly corrupt, but the original trial decision and the disbarment it gave rise to have been reviewed and affirmed by appeals courts apparently

I'm not a truther or anything and don't believe the guy should be in the situation he's in now clearly, it's just a crazy story

That's America. There's no actual rules or anything if you're rich or powerful. A judge can, apparently, literally do all this poo poo without any repercussion. Like with Trump, nobody was willing to actually do anything about what obvious evil and lawlessness he was doing. Until someone is willing to stand up for 'the law' (and I mean abstractly, not our specific bullshit idiotic laws) and punish people like Kaplan and Trump, it'll keep happening. I'm not advocating violence at all, just saying that it's pretty clear that nothing else is going to work, because until these fuckers fear for their lives for their wrongdoings, they'll keep loving doing them.

The WSJ editorial board published an op-ed defending him getting hosed over if that tells you anything.

A referee reinstated him and then an appeals court upheld his disbarment. Don't you think that's a bit suspect? Why was an appeals court even part of that procedure once the referee reinstated him that should've been it.

Also the guy they used to win their case told an EU tribunal he lied during his testimony. Absolutely loving insane a judge can assign a private firm to prosecute someone when the state declines.

Dude's been under house arrest for contempt three times longer than the maximum penalty.

That both judges attached to this case haven't had any heat put on them for what they've done is a loving joke. They should be in a cell but nobody's even calling for sanctions.
