Hinkle was recently featured by the NYT as the face of the rising anti-imperialist and pro-Palestinian movements.

Today, he says he is a Stalinist and a Maoist who was expelled from the Communist Party of the United States. (Roberta Wood, a party leader in Chicago, said he subscribed to the newsletter but had never joined the party and did not reflect its values.) He once supported Bernie Sanders, but now praises Donald Trump.

He is, he wrote last year, an “American PATRIOT, GOD fearing, Pro-FAMILY, Marxist Leninist, Pro-PALESTINE, RUSSIA & CHINA, Anti-DEEP STATE, Anti-IMPERIALIST, Anti-WOKE, Pro-GROWTH, ANTI-MONOPOLY, Pro-GUN, Pro-FOSSIL FUEL.”

Now liberals everywhere will continue to associate those ideologies with uncritical support for Putin and anti-LGBT views. blob-no-thoughts

I'm so ootl, does the CIA just pay these people to have the worst viewpoints ever and say they're ML?

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 58 points 7 months ago

Pretty much.

[-] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

Which raises the question of why so many hexbearites are disagreeing with me without getting paid. They're leaving money on the table.

[-] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

My bad takes are probably still too good for the CIA to fund.

[-] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

Depends on if you've ever disagreed with me tbh

[-] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

A quick look at your posts tells me I probably haven't

peppino-angry I'm fucking pissed this guy is getting so much traction not only in the mainstream press but annoyingly on some smaller independent Chinese media, he's 100% being promoted by the bourgeoisie so these types are the face of "leftism" in the minds of liberals/hogs.

This man is a walking contradiction

"American PATRIOT... Marxist Leninist"

Imma reserve a special guillotine for this one

[-] booty@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

We'll paint the guillotine red white and blue for him

Lol so the people were 100% when they said he’s a fed and not just some random reactionary.

But what are the chances it’s even dumber? What are the chances the feds purposely leaned into this angle for division but he’s genuinely not an agent at all and just morally bankrupt and doesn’t care about anything? I mean ultimately he carries out their agenda intentionally or not so it doesn’t matter, but it just seems too perfect that a psyop soldier is publicly involved with him, yes?

[-] StalinStan@hexbear.net 49 points 7 months ago

It does make their job easier if they pick a guy that is organically annoying. So that would probably be part of it. Less chance of him messing up and breaking character as well.

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 36 points 7 months ago

they used to find people already saying what they wanted in zines or whatever and then backing them rather than directly commissioning propaganda, no reason to think they wouldn't find indoctrinated jackasses to prop up doing the current thing.

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 32 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

He was hanging out with Russian soldiers and talked in a video conference in Iran. It seems like this dude is either the most annoying, successful modern day spy, or he’s useful to every agency in the world because he might give you something valuable if you treat him right lol

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 7 months ago

To paraphrase Gabriel Rockhill, the CIA doesn't generally and doesn't need to pay puppets to spread its propaganda; it pays to build and support a marionette theatre to promote the performances of those who already and/or are willing to say what the CIA wants you to hear.

[-] taiphlosion@lemmygrad.ml 47 points 7 months ago

Lmfao this dude is a straight opp. I've never seen him before but heard his name, and now I can see what a clown he is

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 47 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Lets start a hexbear communist surf gang and drown these fuckers in the lineup.

We’ll say a baby shark ate them.

[-] Juice@hexbear.net 26 points 7 months ago

"Hexbear, will you please repeat for the jury your version of events? What happened to Jackson Hinkle on the beach that day?"

baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 20 points 7 months ago

Our only statement to the court is that the court and its representatives are deeply unserious.

Fucker it's now playing in my head peppino-angry

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[-] pooh@hexbear.net 36 points 7 months ago

Is that Tulsi Gabbard on the other side?

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 35 points 7 months ago

yes

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 33 points 7 months ago

Omg really?

This is insane.

[-] casskaydee@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

I think Tulsi is the psyops officer OP is referring to

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

"Riding Rage Over Israel to Online Prominence"

Lol NYT is saying he is a grifter.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

And other anti-imperialists by association. IMO it's psyop to promote the idea that there exists a red/brown alliance, which is something feds have repeatedly done.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

He is.

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Hinkle a deep state psyop confirmed.

[-] shreddingitlater@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not doubting it, but who's the lieutenant colonel in the picture? Tried looking up Sarah Brady and it's just a bunch stories about her toxic relationship with Jonah Hill and Jackson Hinkler (they dated a few years ago and were probably dating when this pic was taken).

e: oh wait, they mean Tulsi Gabbard. What's linking her to psyops though?

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

She continued to serve as a major in the Hawaii Army National Guard until her transfer to the 351st Civil Affairs Command, a California-based United States Army Reserve unit assigned to the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command, in June 2020

[-] shreddingitlater@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago

Thanks. Didn't really like Tulsi in the first place, but I didn't know she was literally working with psyops.

[-] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

I will only say that it is hard to tell from that photo that that is actually Jackson Hinkle, but this is extremely on the nose since San Onofre is really close to a marine base.
