      Will's grandad was an FBI double agent spying on the KGB in America and his dad was a j*urnalist and editor at the New Yorker (all major publications work closely with intelligence).

      Virgil always has multiple drinks though, why is he so thirsty 👁️

    People say Brace is a CIA op, but he fought with a Pentagon backed army and tried to kill CIA backed troops. If he's a op he's a Pentagon op. I think there's a very real CIA / Pentagon divide.

      Brace is one of the few "tankies" who seems like they might be an op. His background is really really sus but I still love trueanon.

          He's a white kid who grew up in inner-city San Fransisco, which is pretty rare outside of Bourgeois society, his dad was a journalist, he has a several year period that's explained away as him just being a junkie, he went to Syria to fight with a US-backed rebel group, got famous for it and was profiled by all the propaganda rags, came back and was featured on all the hot new left wing podcasts, salted for an AFL-CIO union in a disproportionately high profile union drive and gained major left wing cred, then immediately quit the factory after his podcast rapidly rose in popularity.

          He also calls himself a Marxist-Leninist but seems to exist politically outside of the generally accepted global ML line on existing countries and movements. He never praises any existing socialist countries except maybe Cuba IIRC. If he talks about foreign struggles it's usually either small Maoist insurgencies that pose no real threat to imperialism/capitalism, or the kurdish struggle which is literally a collaborator with the US.

          I'm not saying he's a spook, just that if he was, it wouldn't surprise me. There needs to be a word for that lol.

      Does the Pentagon even do ops? Because somehow I feel like the CIA is much more likely to plant western leftists in a foreign army while the Pentagon is more likely to just fund them from a distance. Idk

    Accusing everyone on the Left with a large audience of being an op is exactly what a CIA op would do, hmm :soviet-hmm:

        100% that dude is an op. Not even like hidden lol, he just straight up receives paychecks from an NED-funded propaganda outlet. Maybe that's why he and Brace hate each other, Brace is a Pentagon op and Evans is a CIA op 👁️

            Brace has mentioned Evans with very obvious visceral disgust but idk if he's ever acknowledged Brace. He does hate "tankies" though and Brace is basically everything he hates on the left

                  If you're actually interested in good faith I would be happy to explain why communists lend critical support for certain Bourgeois regimes as an expression of anti-imperialism.

                    But this ins't being anti-imperialist, its just taking sides in a struggle between two imperial power. Its like saying that Japan was doing anti-imperialism when it took over the US occupied Philipines. And since both powers are terrible, I'll take the side of the band of leftists one of the powers is supporting over that of a capitalist dictator that the other is.

                      Except that's not at all the same. Russia has economic and military influence over neighboring states but they're not in a hyperexploitive relationship with any of them. Just like in the USSR, it's not a bunch of money and resources flowing into Russia but rather Russia basically subsidizing the economies of it's "client states". I do think the Russian Bourgeoisie has Imperial aspirations but they're currently boxed out of the "core" category of the Imperialist global economic system. Imperial Japan, which existed in a multipolar world, literally just pillaged their colonies and exploited them for their own financial benefit. It's nothing like the same thing.

                      As for Rojava, you like them because they purport to be socialists but they have essentially accomplished the following: balkanizing Syria to weaken it's geopolitical position, confiscated all of Syrias oil and promptly handed over control to the US, and last but not least created a friendly territory for US military bases to solidify their force projection capabilities in the region. I'm sorry but that is serving Imperialism and inviting decades of misery to the region.

                      Marxists tend to see Imperialism as a structure that exists in material reality vs a concept that can be used to describe certain actions by a given power. A good analogy is how leftists define Racism vs how right wingers define Racism. Imperialism is a force and Russia is against it, whether their intentions are pure or not. Syria invited Russia, and they will leave if Syria wants them to. The US defacto controls Rojava now, they're not going to leave willingly.

      I can give reasons that most major left wing figures might be ops but Matt doesn't seem to have any except his relation to others who do. I will say I don't actually think most of our favs are ops but if I found out they were I wouldn't be very surprised.

      Tbh, I'm not sure if it's that or just pure bourgeois class character that makes him like that. His persona does seem like what a boomer that works on a basement in Langley would think a left wing intellectual would be like.
