    Jesus Christ you people are insufferable purity goblins. Grayzone has no control over Covid policies. They have actually debunked imperialist lies and had major stories. Cling to reality, release yourself from the purity idealist plane of existence

      Covid policies are that its left up the people on whether they want to take social distancing/masking/quarantining seriously or not. GrayZone has done its best to try and make leftist communities not take the disease seriously which in no uncertain terms has led to unnecessary spread of disease and death.

      GrayZone's glory days are far behind them. Stop clinging to the past, they're reactionary now and should not be supported.

        Ok liberal

        If it wasn’t for Aaron Mate’s Grayzone’s work on shifting the Syrian narrative and debunking the gassing lies you would still be calling me an “Assadist”

        But apparently if they have one position you don’t agree with (they never attacked lockdowns as a whole or China’s policies, they attacked western implementation of lockdowns which were indeed ass) then it’s off to the gulag for the only western leftist media outlet actually doing groundbreaking work

          I googled “GrayZone lockdown” and immediately got this extremely :brainworms: article.

          https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/31/left-covid-lockdowns-mind-autopsy/

          First paragraph alone calls leftists who wanted the wests COVID policies to be similar to China’s ableist slurs

          I’m sure I can find even more reactionary garbage from them if I put in more than effort than just clicking the first result on google.

            Huh. I googled “Grayzone Assad Gas” and got a groundbreaking original story that Aaron Mate broke that completely unraveled the million dollar PR campaign being run by the US to justify the destruction of Syria

              There is no liberation without the liberation of marginzalized groups such as neurodivergent/immunocompromised comrades. Ableism will never be okay with real leftists and should not be excused for any reason.

                What about the Syrian people being massacred by US backed jihadists? What about them? Are they marginalized?

                You realize your precious Finnish PM was breaching Covid protocols at her parties? Why isn’t she a “nazbol” for backing Azov Nazis and disregarding Covid rules?

                Notice how your attacks cut one way… I understand your frustration about the failure of Covid policy in the west but you don’t need to take this out on your nearest comrade. It was not Grayzone that caused any of that shit, it was libshit PMs like this woman! It was capital, not the one outlet fighting their monopolistic violent arm of imperialism! Please step back and take account for the damage you are doing here

                  You don't fight capital by agreeing with them in downplaying a pandemic

                    No outlet has been more antagonistic to capital than the grayzone. I don’t think a bad take equates being a nazbol, or reactionary, or sexist. These are serious things you are swinging around, and this is like the only good journalistic outlet we have. You all need to chill the fuck out before you wreck the few nice things we have

      insufferable purity goblins

      usually this just means "people who are more principled than me"

        It means idealist liberals who side with Covid-breaching Finnish liberals instead of anti-imperialist journalists with bonadides
