Al Jazeera being the state media of Qatar is a conspiracy? Has Al Jazeerah been told this?
accusing people who post accurate information to Lemmy of being state actors is, yes, a conspiracy theory
If a leftist believes that a far right regime is the only place to get accurate information that can't be found elsewhere, and then promotes that far right regime's media, that person is not a leftist.
What are they? I don't know. But when we have a small amount of accounts of people who are not who they claim to be, and they all are spending hours per day promoting the exact same message, and occasionally responding to the wrong messages, coordination of some kind is happening.
These accounts who push borderline pro-hamas sentiments while using Qatari media to do so may not be state sponsored. It could just be some lone nutcase who just really agrees with Qatar's geopolitical goals.
sure. could also be a leftist.
Maybe. If so, they'd be a lousy one.
your characterization doesn't determine the veracity of anyone's politics.
