The people's forum have a tweet if you look for it where they say it was him that gave them the money
And as someone who has known about this for years its very funny that they found this out from an extremely liberal daily beast article about it https://www.thedailybeast.com/neville-singham-funded-breakthrough-news-is-pushing-moscow-beijing-propaganda
where they ripped the picture from, the daily beast has got to be one of their biggest enemies lmao
Honestly gets frustrating since pretty much the main reason I’m here is because I thought socialist movements were the best way to escape American social norms. I‘ve never been able to take social values and norms seriously, and never got how people could.
Cosplaying the whole social norms stuff is a bit infuriating yeah. Like I hate tying up my long hair and putting a suit on, but I'll do it so I can get a job and participate in society:society:. And don't get me started about gender norms and all that. In school all the boys had to have short hair, shave, wear uniform, etc. Girls had a bit more freedom as far as hair goes, but always had to wear the uniform dress or skirt, even during winter. That was long ago, but we were still part of the post 1994 generation, and all that nonsense stayed after that. I'm just tired folks. As a bi dude I just feel like I'm constantly struggling to fit in and keep up with all the social conventions.
I will say some social norms are good though, like personal hygiene and being courteous in public. But others are just about conformity.
