Upon skimming, that article appears to be general radical leftist criticism of big government past propaganda campaigns about the Iraq War and bank bailouts, and ends up calling for UBI in the form of a Citizen Dividend. Other than the anti-establishment framing, it seems to be relatively weak tea criticism, it doesn’t claim that COVID is a hoax nor engages in anti-vaxx/anti-5G woo, it just puts out a narrative that “the government has lied before, it’ll lie again!”

Progress.org appears to be a Democracy Now! type publication that accepts content from different grassroots progressive viewpoints, some fringier than others.



The article also suggests that COVID was maybe an inside job, and that it's unpatriotic to follow health restrictions. (Not in exactly those words, but it warns about "acquiescing" to government restrictions.)
