Caitlin Johnstone is a Putinist, so of course she’d be gunning for the Democrats. Her bosses want a second Trump administration, after all.

You reposting this is a pretty good piece of evidence of its friendliness to Putin

[-] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago

My thoughts exactly

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

upon 2 seconds of googling it seems her primary web host is under an aussie domain, so... There's that.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Putin already conquers upside-down land?

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

depends, aussie politics are pretty aggressively corrupt right now, lots of chinese influence it smells like. Regardless, idk what the fuck an aussie is doing talking about US politics.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You could have read that in the about us section if you took a little more time than exactly what you need to make up a strawman.

But doing honest research does not seem to be the intention.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

oh sorry my bad, did i not indicate that i spent literally two seconds googling it. Perhaps you could be a kind samaritan and explain it to me since you seem to be in the know here.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

In short, what you read in this space is an ongoing collaboration between myself (Australian) and my husband Tim Foley (American)

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

oh cool, so we've got a secondary source, from a third person, i really do love tertiary sources

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Tartar sauce is great.

Sorry what does your comment mean?

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

yeah that checks out. I shouldn't be surprised by that.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Whether or not she's a Putinist I can't say, but her work is crowd funded. She's independent.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

There is surely no way to prove either one of you correct.

[-] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, everyone who isn't with US, is our enemy.

Everyone nods furiously

Something something thunderous applause...

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

We’ve no reason to put blind faith in any of those claims. Only time will tell

Ah yes, only time will tell! What a reasonable take. No wait.

She's a soft apologist/propaganda pusher at minimal JUST from his article that he thought was exculpatory evidence

[-] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sure sure, the guy is a real piece of work. Wait till you learn about this guy called Stoltenberg who is openly pushing Putin propaganda. Now NATO itself is being infiltrated by putinists!

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, different people can say different things in different contexts and some are right and some are wrong and some are pushing Putin propaganda and some Putin propaganda May be based in facts but doesn't mean his actions in response to the facts are correct. You do know what propaganda is right?

information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

It doesn't have to be false information. It can just be biased. It can also just be misleading.

Point being who the fuck cares what the head of NATO said when it's not word for the word the same as this guy and that's not what we're talking about. You're being an asshat

[-] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Well I was talking about name calling so that's fitting.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Hey look at that you ignore everything else I wrote but for one line and in that action you further prove its truth.

Remember fallacies are built in using it as the entire logic of the claim, not as adding insult.

1+1=2, idiot doesn't become less true because there's an insult, nor do I claim it becomes more true. I just wanted to point to my feelings behind your actions

[-] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Well you agreed to my initial suggestion that anyone who isn't with US empire is the enemy. What is left to say? Except for hurling insults from the trenches?

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

Her bosses want a second Trump administration

i thought they were all pushed out a window?
