    Their nonstop anti-lockdown COVID denial/misinformation shilling is part of the reason the new normal is hundreds of people dying every day from preventable causes. They are enemies to any at risk/marginalized groups. They've been like this for YEARS now.

    I know a lot of leftists have stopped caring about COVID, but I think its wrong to condemn marginalized groups to death or further disability by long covid.

        You don't care that they actively endanger/contribute to the death of immunocompromised comrades because they said America bad?

          Jesus Christ you people are insufferable purity goblins. Grayzone has no control over Covid policies. They have actually debunked imperialist lies and had major stories. Cling to reality, release yourself from the purity idealist plane of existence

            Covid policies are that its left up the people on whether they want to take social distancing/masking/quarantining seriously or not. GrayZone has done its best to try and make leftist communities not take the disease seriously which in no uncertain terms has led to unnecessary spread of disease and death.

            GrayZone's glory days are far behind them. Stop clinging to the past, they're reactionary now and should not be supported.

              Ok liberal

              If it wasn’t for Aaron Mate’s Grayzone’s work on shifting the Syrian narrative and debunking the gassing lies you would still be calling me an “Assadist”

              But apparently if they have one position you don’t agree with (they never attacked lockdowns as a whole or China’s policies, they attacked western implementation of lockdowns which were indeed ass) then it’s off to the gulag for the only western leftist media outlet actually doing groundbreaking work

                I googled “GrayZone lockdown” and immediately got this extremely :brainworms: article.

                https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/31/left-covid-lockdowns-mind-autopsy/

                First paragraph alone calls leftists who wanted the wests COVID policies to be similar to China’s ableist slurs

                I’m sure I can find even more reactionary garbage from them if I put in more than effort than just clicking the first result on google.

                  Huh. I googled “Grayzone Assad Gas” and got a groundbreaking original story that Aaron Mate broke that completely unraveled the million dollar PR campaign being run by the US to justify the destruction of Syria

                    There is no liberation without the liberation of marginzalized groups such as neurodivergent/immunocompromised comrades. Ableism will never be okay with real leftists and should not be excused for any reason.

            insufferable purity goblins

            usually this just means "people who are more principled than me"

              It means idealist liberals who side with Covid-breaching Finnish liberals instead of anti-imperialist journalists with bonadides
