    Sure. But I’m more concerned with the ends than the means. If this was Native American casino money co-opting American right wing magazines to print land acknowledgements, I’d find it less upsetting. If it was a bunch of wealthy Dutch weed farmers lobbying for an end to Russian drug criminalization by paying off RT anchors, I’d be fine with that as well.

    More frustrated by the endless lobbying for more white nationalism, more migrant hysteria, and more ugly border wars. Wish we could corrupt people to do nice things instead.
