Gofundme has indefinitely frozen donations to The Grayzone “due to some external concerns.” The company’s actions follow a campaign of repression against our personnel by the British and Ukrainian governments. Here is what you can do to support The Grayzone: if you have already donated, demand a refund from Gofundme here. Then contribute to us at our new, trustworthy crowdfunder here. Further instructions are below. The Silicon Valley-based crowdfunding site Gofundme has informed The Grayzone that it has frozen all […]

  • The Grayzone raises over $90,000 for 3 independent journalists.

  • Gofundme freezes the funds.

  • British Counter-Terror Police detains journalist Kit Klarenberg and interrogates him for 5 hours about his political views and reporting.

The West sure loves its press freedom™ huh?

Edit: Thanks for the valuable discussion, I didn’t plan to donate anything cuz I also have my reservations towards the Grayzone. But you guys really showed me that I should probably do it anyway 😅

      Huh, I think something finally clicked in my head!

      Radical anarcho-feminism is when

      • wishing harm to people you disagree with
      • not questioning liberal media controlled by oligarchs
      • prioritize the preservation of “leftist valor” over a critical examination of imperialism and colonialism

      Fascinatingly Radical 👌

        Well, you got #1 out of 3 accurate. With a 33% level of integrity they just might hire you.

          I’d love to gain a better understanding tho.

          Maybe we can use this article to better understand our perspectives?

          Can you highlight the sentences, parts, keypoints or conclusions, which you, as a leftist radical anarcho-feminist think are wrong, problematic, offensive, bad etc.?

          No need to go through the whole article; just a few points and possibly a general explanation of your perspective on the discussed issue will do, so I can understand why the grayzone is an unacceptable news site for some leftists.

      Your hostility belies your intentions. Just accept that you are a liberal. And that’s okay. Own it. But stop pretending to be an actual leftist while spewing liberal propaganda.

          I’m not disingenuous. I asked a question you never answered. I don’t even consider myself a Marxist Leninist. You throw out words like they don’t have meaning.

            You asked a completely irrelevant question to deflect to a different subject, presumably because you thought I was American. Unfortunately I’ve slayed a lot of tankies and I know your tricks. I’m not falling for your misdirection.

              I am American, you are not. That’s irrelevant. Still not a tankie, and you still haven’t answered the question which actually implies the answer by deduction. I’m not trying to trick you. I don’t even care if you’re a liberal. I’m surrounded by them. They aren’t bad people, just undereducated.

              Edit: How many tankies have you slayed in 3 days?

                About to be one more. (In case it was unclear, this is a metaphor and an alt.)

                  You slayed me so hard, metaphorically. Now answer the question:

                  Would you rather live under the rule of socialist China, or capitalist America?

                  If you don’t want to answer it, that’s fine. But maybe think about what that means.

                    I don’t live under and don’t want to live under either, because I am a radical anarchist and don’t believe in states or borders. So, I did kind of answer your dumb, misdirecting, whataboutist false dichotomy with my first reply. Hope you are happy with the answer. It’s bedtime now.
