I'm not convinced but it is important to read opposing views, so here goes.

    no they’re literally just :amber: s politics as a magazine, you don’t need intelligence agencies to have a mix of kautskyism trotskyism and stupidpol as your editorial line and produce :jesse-wtf: content

    I’ve read enough to know they’re really genuinely idiots

      I'm not saying their entire staff is literally working from Langley. Just that their editorial policy is being heavily influenced by the national security state. They're free to write dumb articles as long as the main message aligns with whatever the CIA and state department are saying.

        but like why and how does this work, in what way would be something unacceptable for them to publish if they have to stick to some sort of line

          I am not aware of media whistleblowers so I don't know the details but you should look at The Greyzone's recent youtube video/article talking about MI6 suppression of academics in UK who spoke out against the false flag in Syria. They interview the professors themselves.

            I just read it the article is absolutely derranged and does not claim the academic were surpressed in any way only that some idiot was collecting information on them to maybe to shame them or something, it’s also the grayzone lmao.

            I’m not gonna watch a 30m video on the same topic it’s too long, I would not put all my eggs in one basket into a news source that hides their funding and themselves basically toe the editorial line of being Russian state media even if they don’t admit it. They also published an unironic article claiming philosophy tube was mi6 or whatever on top of all the anti vax stuff recently.
