    Qatar and AJ aren’t anti-imperialist at all, but you can only be this 🤏 critical of the fascist project as an outsider before you’re seen as an adversary.

      I think so. Even though they claimed that the so-called “Uyghur Genocide” is real, at least they criticize the Zionist Entity and they are pro-Palestine too. So they’re left-leaning right now but they are still a bit liberal.

      In my experience while I wouldn’t call AJ “anti-imperialist” per se it does offer uniquely West Asian perspectives on things that Western media either isn’t reporting on at all or is just straight up lying about, which is useful when trying to deprogram liberals. They’re not as likely to scoff at AJ articles as they would actual anti-imperialist outlets - which they’re all convinced are sock puppets for the Kremlin.
