    when we have a small amount of accounts of people who are not who they claim to be,

    you said yourself you can’t prove this. it’s a conspiracy theory.

      I don’t need to prove that people who are funneling ad revenue to far right authoritarian regimes who fund religious terrorism aren’t leftists.

      Their actions did that before I entered the equation.

          What in that statement is conjecture?

          Everybody who clicks on a link to that website without an ad blocker just gave ad revenue to an explicitly anti-semitic government. Going without a VPN, and that government now has a really simple way of unmasking the identities of who visited, directly from Lemmy.

          As leftists, we have to be pro Palestine while being anti Qatar and anti Hamas. Trusting what they tell us isn’t leftist, nor intelligent and I think if you are being honest with yourself, you already know that.

            leftists link corporate media of all kind. it doesn’t impugn their politics.

                Most corporate media aren’t the sister organizations of Hamas.

                but they take money from people just as shitty, like bayer and lockheed and the pentagon. there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

                  What specific US based leftist media are you accusing of taking money from weapons manufacturing?

                  I have been specific in my accusations against a media company, it is only right that you should as well.

                    What specific US based leftist media are you accusing

                    none, but there is plenty of us corporate and state sponsored propaganda posted in these communities and i don’t see accusations of shilling for the pentagon and cia being thrown around like the accusations of shilling for putin/trump
