Yeah, but ozma specifically claims to be far left -- like so much so that he can't stand any establishment Democrat, as far as I can tell, even Joe Biden who's significantly more left than the normal (fairly depressing) Democratic standard. That's the only thing that makes it incongruous. Along with getting confused that anyone else from the far-left (as he claims to be) would ever criticize CNN, because after all, it's liberal.
I don't actually agree with calling ozma a Russian or corporate troll. It is extremely clear to me and most other people here that he's some sort of bad-faith mass poster of disinformation. But yeah, for myself I don't tend to throw out accusations of particular nationalities or anything like that, because the truth is that none of us have any idea. Sometimes there will be some poster who has a weird and entertaining confluence of ideas that don't really belong together that involve some particular nation, and so it's not hard to figure out, but ozma's not that. He's all "no Biden" all the time, with a 40% mixture of random other generic-leftist topics to attempt a fig-leaf of being just a normal poster.
Honestly he just irritated me by starting it up as far as immigration. I'm honestly a little surprised that he's still doing this, since as far as I can tell the result most of the time is just to tee up people to be able to downvote him and talk good things about Joe Biden in a way that would be weird if they just came from nowhere and said "IT'S NOT HIS FAULT IMMIGRATION IS SUCH A MESS RIGHT NOW." But IDK; maybe the posting of the constant memes and repetition and purely putting it out there is doing some good things for his objectives. Kind of like pushing junk climate science so there will be a "debate" in the public perception instead of "yes of course it's fucking real why is this even a question."
