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.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Breakthrough News

Oh that one's funded by me lol

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 67 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lmao what media operation.

Bro there is no openly communist western media outside of some nichie indie projects

[-] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

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

[-] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

I want more Russian funding tho like wtf. China, please????

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

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')

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

BreakThrough News is basically a PSL news outlet, it's my fav youtube news channel

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 67 points 1 week ago

He's only saying that because he knows who's funding his media operation smuglord

[-] hypercracker@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

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.

I needed to look twice at his avatar first time i thought it was some version of happy merchant.

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

He's the inversion, the happy shopper.

[-] ObamaSama@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Incredible stuff, I can see a LOT of potential with the “happy shopper” in response to chuds

[-] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 56 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

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.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

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!

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

im actually surprised they didn't lump liberals in with "leftists"

Every accusation is a confession.

[-] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

morshupls Ah, but the tankies were the first to make accusations of intelligence agency funding against Bellingcat, therefore it is the tankies who are confessing. smuglord

[-] ihaveibs@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago

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.

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
