There are tons of U.S. leftists who have bad takes on AES states, though. Not all of them can be feds. He’s for sure sus, but I don’t think there’s enough to definitively label him a fed.

Following the money is a useful investigative method, but it’s not conclusive in cases like this.

Say a journalist gets their work printed in a few publications and does some podcasting that brings in additional money. If one of those publications gets some nefarious federal dollars, how much impact does that have on the journalist’s work?

It has the impact of subsidizing someone who is shilling for the government. Don’t resort to quantum theory because they just happen to play on your sympathies
