This method of attacking PSL is the same method the CIA uses to attack foreign states. They're building up a giant list to bomb people with "reasons x country is bad so you should support bombing it", big enough so that it requires several hundred pages to refute. Gish gallop in propaganda form is their preferred method.

Many people won't even remember the claims, they'll just remember "PSL bad" and that's that.

I'll say a few things.

Nobody knows where Tigray is. Useless point. Xinjiang is easily refutable at this point and most people are listening to it.
Coverups and internal drama never happens in the democrats obviously.
Only idiots will buy that a bunch of queer communists have ever supported fascists.
Nobody knows who Roy Singham is, including me lmao.
"De-mobilises protests" oh really? Which ones? Palestine? Anti-ICE? Nah.

Come on feds this is some of your weakest ever work, do better.

Come on feds this is some of your weakest ever work, it can be shut down in less text than exists on the propaganda, do better.

I actually watched this in action in a group chat I'm in (national chat so I know basically nobody in it).

new person expresses positive opinion of PSL re: protests
dude links red flags document (I actually checked this at the time and was like hell no I'm not clicking on a google document link)
Gets dogpiled by clique of people (like 4-5 in a big chat)
they start accusing the new person of trolling every time they chime in to any conversation
eventually gets kicked for refusing to take them seriously

for being very concerned about "high control groups" they were being highly controlling

This only works in chat groups if the owner of the chat group is anti-psl. If the owners of the group are not, then the members of the group are free to defend it with full energy and they get dogpiled.

In the chats owned by someone who's anti-PSL in the first place, this is much much harder.

On top of that you have the situations where a chat owner is anti-tankie but does not consider PSL to be tankies because only bad people can be tankies and they've actually met good people involved with PSL or know of PSL organised events, this makes a sorta brainwormed soup mess but also benefits PSL.
