So where’s Lunduke’s articles on the numerous right-wing shady organizations? I haven’t listened to or read anything by this hack in many years now because of the fact that he has a clear agenda motivated by his own political bullshit.

Maybe find an article that is written by someone reputable and post that to numerous communities.

This right here.

He was always a shit. But seeing him in 2020 parroting alt-right talking points and defending the Proud Boys showed exactly what kind of person he is.

I don't really care if someone fights in both directions if their points are valid. Misgendering or not, mozilla has had some troubling developments internally and it's good people shed light on it.

Shedding light with bias is the whole problem with media in the current landscape. They're never done objectively. All it does is provide a feedback loop within the echo chamber, further dividing people with the result of "see, I told you the other side is bad." Motivations matter. Lunduke has, in the past, proven where his motivations are. If he actually reported on all political, economic, technological goings-on in an objective manner, given he is a pretty good communicator, then I'd withdraw my opposition to him. Until such time, I keep to my opinion of him and have no interest in his articles. I can form my own opinion of Mozilla independent of what Lunduke or FOX News or MSNBC tries to get me to ingest.
