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.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

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.
Breakthrough News
Oh that one's funded by me lol
He's only saying that because he knows who's funding his media operation 
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.
whataboutism 
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
KYC know your customer, idiot tankies
runs it's own news network, Liberation News. It's a communist publication run by a good communist partyMiddle-aged man with laser eyes avatar—online phenotype for the most self-absorbed-yet-sauceless posters ever 
I am literally incapable of not doing this rn.
May I be so selfish to remind you how much I love this little corner of the fediverse
It may not be the biggest community but I am pretty sure it's in the top 3 as far as activity. But yes I love this place too.
I needed to look twice at his avatar first time i thought it was some version of happy merchant.
He's the inversion, the happy shopper.
Incredible stuff, I can see a LOT of potential with the “happy shopper” in response to chuds
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.

Et fucking cetera
Y'all are getting paid?
i really need to take soros, putin, and xi to small claims court

Putting down CIA-backed anticommunism is actually the worst form of state authoritarianism, according to the CIA guy, working for the world-historic forces of oppression and white supremacy
The only "thing" "funding" "our" "media" "operation" besides donations from users is our terminally online behavior and depression.
I saw this cursed image looking through the replies:
Past US Imperialism?
under historical idealism it's easy. the US stopped doing all that stuff right after the most recent blood-soaked example you can come up with of the US doing that stuff, because America is so good and enlightened.
NAFO in "reasonable people"
Noam Chomsky on the "lunatic fringe"
This has to be a bit.

toxic towards liberals
Oh Jesus, those unhinged lefties went so far as to say bad things about liberals! Prepare my fainting chair!
im actually surprised they didn't lump liberals in with "leftists"
I'm pretty sure I fund "our media operation"
Every accusation is a confession.
Ah, but the tankies were the first to make accusations of intelligence agency funding against Bellingcat, therefore it is the tankies who are confessing.
PayPal and Venmo ban our news sources because that's how foreign governments fund their operations right? That's definitely not because they rely on reader donations or anything, obviously.
me casually taking it like a champ and stating that Xi personally pays me 50CNY an hour to dunk on haters
not many people know this, but NED stands for No, Eliot! Dumbass
I do, yes. It's me and my comrades mostly.
I wish I was being funded, lol
