"anti-authoritarian" opponets of AES aren't fascists, they are useful idiots for fascists.

I think not reading is not really something to tout, though very on-brand for liberal "anarchists".

That's a nice link you provided. Quick search shows it's from same people (Ben Norton) as Grayzone, which is described in wikipedia as such:

The Grayzone is an American far-left news website and blog founded and edited by American journalist Max Blumenthal. The website, initially founded as The Grayzone Project, affiliated with AlterNet before becoming independent in early 2018. A fringe website, it is known for misleading and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes. The Grayzone has denied human rights abuses against Uyghurs, promulgated conspiracy theories about Venezuela, Xinjiang, Syria and other regions, and promoted pro-Russian propaganda during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Grayzone has been described by Commentary as a propaganda shop devoted to pushing pro-Assad, pro-Maduro, pro-Putin, and pro-Hamas narratives.

This is some truth social level shit
