Some of the replies and reposts have me chuckling.
I mean I still consume Grayzone content when it comes to anti-imperialist stuff. Max and Aaron, and the new guys like Kit, etc. are all really good. Now that the whole vaccine thing is kind of “over” so to speak, Max isn’t really bringing it up that much and is sticking to anti-imperialist shit mostly. I also consume Norton’s stuff as well. It’s kind of sad that they broke up as they were a great team. Aaron still seems to get along just fine with Max and I’m pretty sure he was against Max when it came to the vaccine stuff as well. So I’m not sure exactly what happened behind the scenes with Max and Ben.
Also it seems like the situation has gotten somewhat spicer: https://nitter.net/MaxBlumenthal/status/1710429732221616552#m
If he did do all this stuff, I think that’s funny and cool. Hard to defend him legally tho
I don’t think he did what Max Blumenthal accused him of in that regard, but I could be wrong, and I’m not sure myself.
Facts seem to line up with Ben’s re-telling of events, a bunch of former Grayzone/Moderate Rebel accounts did start promoting multipolarista after Ben left GZ and then stopped producing content. I’ll wait to hear what Ben has to say, but it seems pretty clear cut that Max is in the right legally unless something major changes, so it’s gonna be hard to defend Ben outside of “lmao get owned Max we stole your shit”
Ben has already replied (not that he should have, this is an employer-employee dispute). He was the only one who had access to the moderate rebels socials and they had done a mediation before. It’s very convenient that Blumenthal is attacking him on something that has already been settled and happened a few years ago right after Ben moved to China.
They accosted him on a bus! They’re so pathetic.
Why is anti-vax a thing, again?
it’s rabid in Western Europe as I recently found out. Restaurants wouldn’t even serve us when we wore masks. They’d tell us they were booked up or some other nonsense and turn us away only to let the next wandering group right in. Also the amount of people that fake coughed in my face was unreal.
