          this sounds stereotypically lib instead of a straight up psyop

          unless you consider libness to be a psyop, i’d have to agree then

          As mentioned above, Aileen Getty is one of several heirs to the $5.4 billion Getty fortune, which the family acquired through their oil company, founded in 1942. While the company no longer exists today, having been sold in the early 2000s, the money certainly still does, and so people have started questioning if, in reality, Aileen Getty still has active links to the oil industry.

          However, unless Getty is investing in oil ventures so secretive that there are no records of them available to the public, the opposite appears to be true. In 2012, she founded the Aileen Getty Foundation, which, according to the foundation’s objectives, “supports a wide range of local and global organizations and initiatives that enhance the environment, our communities and the lives of individuals through innovation, preservation, connection and kindness.”

          I’m an outsider to this debate, but even a bourgeoisie publication is saying that a child of an oil family used her inheritance. We can critique the group without repeating lies from the Western press. (unless you have more damning information or a leftist source)
