Yeah, Xi and Putin. Used to be Soros too but he stopped paying a few years back.

Seriously though, what media operation, “tankie” media is like 5 bloggers who all want to strangle each other.

I think he means stuff like Mint Press, The Grayzone, Geopolitical Economy Report, Breakthrough News, The Deprogram, and some other media operations I can’t think of off the top of my head.

To be fair there are publications put out by various communist parties in the US ranging from serious to deeply unserious. runs it’s own news network, Liberation News. It’s a communist publication run by a good communist party

Yeah but that probably isn’t what this idiot is talking about.

He’s probably referring to types like the PatSoc weirdos, of whom a solid chunk are probably funded by the US as a means of recapturing any baby leftists who wander after them (this idiot probably thinks they’re funded by China or w/e though just because they’re ‘leftist’)

honestly probably true. this is the same psychology of when you’re high in public and start to believe everyone else is high in public. or people who cheat on their spouses believing everyone is cheating on their spouses, dudes on roids in the gym believing everyone in the gym is on roids, etc.

Wait, we have a media operation?

Oh, you mean the shitty little memes now and then, maybe a few tiktoks that slip through the filters. I’m sure it’s destabilizing the entire western hegemony.

Then again, who am i to say it won’t. Supposedly a few russina facebook ads totaling like $100k turned all of America racist and woke at the same time and destroyed democracy. We just need to find that One. Perfect. Meme. And it’s all over.
