    Mainstream political influencers pass as media for me. Piker is part of the Fight Agency consultancy firm political apparatus.

      Could you expand on that connection? I can see the general advocacy overlap, but am not deep enough to have seen a clear link to any kind of agency.

          Please stop getting your politics from Bad Empanada. There are far better and more consistent, principled sources than that transphobic contrarion.

            Which are the sources that you recommend?
            And is he transphobic? What is the topic on it?

              I think it’s much better to get your news from socialist parties and newspapers themselves, rather than random internet personalities. Even streamers or podcasters with decent analysis still don’t compare to actual political parties and their analysis. PSL is a good place to start if you’re Statesian.

              As for Bad Empanada, here’s an example:

                That need not be transphobic, but poorly phrased too.

                Like, about all the ‘feminists’ and ‘progresisves’ who support USAmerica in their bombing of Iran, citing female rights being limited there. Seeing them justify the USAmerica bombing girls schools n all, makes you doubt whether a good portion of them are just using it as a mask, so that you cannot criticise them.

                Sort-of a benefit of doubt on that there, on the absurd comment of Palestine being Nazi-like, when actually they are similar to the people who suffered from the Nazis.
                But yes, the way it is phrased and the yes it is type of reply is bad.

                Regarding location, I am from India. Have seen sources like LeftViews.in for national and international news. Wanted to know if there are others.

                  Bad Empanada is choosing to attack trans identity, rather than Zionism directly. It’s transphobic and undermines trans folk.

                  As for news sources in India, or the surrounding areas, I unfortunately am not as familiar. I’d look to what socialist parties in your area are using and go from there!
