Genz seems more anti capitalist in general.

I think I lost a genx friend for pointing out that Epstein et al have been manipulating liberals in the same way that they've been manipulating conservatives and that the Russia narrative is proof that they will continue to be so whereas my genz friend simply agreed w my conclusion.

as a generalization gen x probably still trust "liberal" media and "liberal" influencers (think Colbert, Stewart, Conan, Democracy Now, etc)

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

agreed, but i always considered democracy now to be a step above colbert, stewart or conan.

have they done anything to suggest/prove that they're no different than those examples or pbs/npr?

Epstein is responsible for Russiagate?

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

IDK about actually being involved in any specific details that ended up being true events that Russiagate may be associated with, but I think they were suggesting that at the minimum, Epstein was playing both sides in misinforming the culture war.

you're going to have to be more specific, there are a few russian based controversies out there. lol

Russiagate refers to the conspiracy theory that Russia hacked the DNC and influenced the 2016 election by secretly controlling Trump through blackmail, and is the genesis of the Russia derangement syndrome suffered by liberals in the modern era.
