      Brianna is legit

      I've always thought so, but you'd be surprised how many in this sub have unironically called her a grifter. I've seen it many times here.

      Here's one example I found real quick: https://hexbear.net/post/235686?scrollToComments=false

      They are grifters... and are in the orbit of most of the grifter greats including but not limited to Jimmy Dore, Max Blumenthal, Briahna Joy Gray, Glenn Greenwald, Jackson Hinkle

      Here's another just in case someone says "oh it's only one example you found": https://hexbear.net/comment/2720901

      I feel like she's been in the grift zone since the Bernie campaign ended

      Finally here's a third just for good measure: https://hexbear.net/comment/2957658

      Lol of course Briahna Joy Gray is doing this. I mean, I'm a little surprised at Useful Idiots without Matty T is doing this shit, but goddamn is it just abunch of post-Bernie grifters.

          Also why not subscribe to her Patreon and share her insights instead of mentioned those hasbara asshats? I'm serious. We are in an information war. You gonna side with the genociders or stand up for the goddamn truth

          I think it's important to highlight that even us here (hexbear, lemmygrad, etc.) can fall into the trap of quickly judging someone and passing immediate moral judgment without looking at all the other stuff a person does/says. I've listened to her more chill podcast where she talks with people who call in (it's called The Debrief) as well as a decent number of Bad Faith episodes. I get that she worked during the day at the Hill, a right wing media source, but how many leftists have been seen on other "not leftist" media sources such as RT, Al Jazeera, etc. I get the sense that she is definitely more than a "western leftist" and is quite anti-imperialist.
