  • Yes. It’s an incredibly easy way to filter out people who are saying what pays to be said, and people who are genuine. One cannot claim to care about human rights while ignoring the Apolocyple in Gaza livestreamed in 4k and perpetrated by the West.

    A prime example is famous China critic Ai Weiwei who I can take seriously because he actually walked the walk and got cancelled in the West as well.

    https://www.reuters.com/world/china/ai-weiwei-says-west-lacks-moral-authority-criticise-beijing-rights-2026-01-29/

    Ai, speaking to Reuters in London, said he has previously argued that Western leaders visiting China should openly denounce the country’s human rights abuses before striking business deals with the world’s second-largest economy.

    “But today I changed my mind, completely,” Ai said. “The West (is) not even (in a) position to accuse China. (They must) just check on their record (of) what they did on international human rights, (their) freedom of speech record.”

    Ai’s remarks come as Keir Starmer makes a four-day visit to China, the first by a UK leader in eight years, aimed at improving relations despite concerns over espionage and human rights.

    Ai, in London hosting events for his new book “On Censorship”, said Western leaders raising issues such as human rights, free speech and censorship would be seen as deeply hypocritical and would “make people laugh”.

    Ai said he has also faced censorship in the West, including a London gallery’s decision to postpone one of his exhibitions in 2023 over a social media post about the war in Gaza.

    And while Ai does still criticize China for many things, some which are very valid because China isn’t some perfect utopia either, even he has recognized that a lot of stuff is simply pushed by Western think tanks to amplify anti-China sentiment while the West is actually much worse in many aspects.

    As for Frontline defenders, they pay “family support” and other stuff.

    providing family assistance for imprisoned HRDs or family members who are at risk because of a HRD’s activities.

    You bet that’s going to be instantly cut off whenever someone criticizes Israel. Meaning the critic in this article falls in line with Western think tanks and knows what he should and shouldn’t say to receive his paycheck.

    It doesn’t matter who made it. What matter is that it’s correct. All international media copy pastes anything these propaganda outlets say without double checking it.

    If you want a more blatant example of Reuters lying, during the Maccabi riots in Amsterdam they said that a video of Maccabi supporters attacking a Moroccan was the inverse to push the narrative that there was a Pogrom against Jews

    Reuters and other propaganda outlets were notified of this by the person who made the video but they refused to correct it for multiple days because they had to keep the narrative going.

  • Capitalism exists to serve, you guessed it, capital.

    This means those who have money will be served and those who don’t have money will not.

    Big banks who have money are getting bailouts and poor people have their social security removed.

    Large companies have their needs fulfilled and those who don’t have money are not.

    You’re just posting the Propaganda Multiplier but it’s the propaganda version of it. These newspapers get their talking points from the US government and will publish whatever they are asked to. This is especially noticeable whenever the US invades a country and lies to manufacture consent for the invasion.

    Reuters is not a reputable source. And it’s the same headline

    Meta isn’t accused of using AI with people’s medical information to make early diagnoses and lay them off. Instead,

    Because Meta doesn’t have access to their medical info yet. They would 100% do so if they ever managed to get their hands on this info. Big corporations can’t wait to go full Aktion T4 mode.
