This is one of the most deliberately bad faith readings of someone else’s point I’ve ever seen.

What the actual fuck is this take. Corporations polluting the artistic landscape by normalizing covert advertisements is “doing something for the arts”, now? Next you’ll tell me that film executives paying for generic slop film #6338929394 to be made counts as an artistic endowment 😭

If they’re defending Russia (a fascist state), then the term you’re looking for is fascist propaganda, not “leftist” propaganda.
