I’d be willing to bet against this claim, assuming by “mouthpiece for Russian propaganda” you mean something more similar to “spends multiple hours a day parroting the party line online” and not just “is mildly sympathetic to Putin.”
An appeal to cold, calculating rationality, a tug at heartstrings, a call for outrage (literally), some classic whataboutism and shoddily constructed cover a la “I as an American patriot” (who even talks like that). This post really has it all.
Disagree. I am generally against tone policing, and encouraging public registered predictions is so worthwhile that some disadvantages can be overcome.
Public, registered prediction: ebrodey is a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda.
My prediction will be falsified if ebrodey ever becomes a regular producer of quality original writing that has nothing to do with Russia.

They may well be, but fake claiming ought to be done more carefully and less loudly.
