You should know that this is 100% only happening because he's an asset. IDK whose asset, I feel like Russia is more likely, but he's someone's asset.

Russia makes more sense. Not to sound like a Russiagate lib, but "we need to make American communists more socially right wing, anti abortion, and anti LGBTQIA+" is the kind of lame ass psy op the FSB would come up with. the CIA just wants to kill us or make us irrelevant, not distort us into neocon trots or something. also notice how the ACP tries to be like "what if we could be Patriotic religious American nationalists and also anti imperialist at the same time" it's very delusional shit that reeks of psy op. but not a homegrown psy op.

I stand by the position that the goal has always been to make communism less attractive to the soft-left that is on the fringe of becoming a communist if they just have the right interaction with the right person or read the right content that gives them a political "Oh I get it" moment.

Those people are mostly soft-left kinda lib-ish brainwormy people. They're deeply turned off by the maga-communists and the mecha-tankies and all this other shit. That stuff all struck me as an op to tar all communists with and thus make people dismiss communist content on the basis of their interaction with it having been... That

Essentially we all get labelled tankies, and then the image of "tankie" in people's minds is the mecha-tankies. Haz and his lot. This has already been somewhat effective among the younger crowd of anti-tankie anarchists and filled up trans communities. And it's been effective in soft-left communities with a lot of libs.

It's thought-termination. It exists to make people terminate their thinking and thus, when confronted by the thing that would have turned them onto the path of communism, they have already turned off their brain and thus do not engage with it.

This is all well within the realm and thought process at the CIA.

Yeah absolutely, but OTOH making the most visible person in the US who will call themselves a communist this freak is devastating to the left so I could also see it being a CIA/other NatSec op. He's been with Tulsi, and he apparently gave a speech to some Marines recently too, which I doubt he'd have had the chance to do without someone pulling strings for him.

Russia, USA or Iran, whose guy is he? Apparently he's been living in Moscow for the past few months out of fear of returning to the USA, according to himself. He was also engaged to Miss Russia 2022 for a while. Also has appeared in pictures with Tulsi Gabbard, now US Director of National Intelligence.

Honestly, the Tulsi pics were long enough ago (pre SMO) that I could see him having gotten the Z Bag since then. But I've realized there's not enough hard evidence for much of anything. Not sure if Iran is prioritizing white assets (hmu if so), so that's my guess. Why in the world would Tulsi tolerate these associations with apparently anti-imperialist figures and rhetoric? Why hasn't he been arrested immediately? He's a fucking weird dude, that's for sure, but that's about it

I mean Oswald who was a CIA asset lived in Moscow for a while too and got the KGB to set him up with a wife so living in Moscow doesn't rule out CIA. If anything something like that can be done to build an asset's street cred for later.
