  1. Six policy wonks with very strong views, six opinionated journalists rallying from their respective platforms against the #US “arming #Ukraine and fuelling a neocon proxy #war”.

    The host, #ThaddeusRussell, asks the most relevant question: “It’s absolutely essential that we clarify our position here, otherwise we are sitting ducks for what they say about us. Otherwise, it becomes true that we are #Putin stooges. […] This is essential, I need to know from you guys, as fan of yours: where do you actually stand on this?

    Genius 1: “I favour the cessation or mitigation of warfare rather than the perpetuation of it”.

    Host: “OK. So does that mean a negotiated settlement, giving #Russia Donbas and Crimea, and nothing else?”

    Genius 1: “I only really have a principle which is to cease the warfare rather than perpetuate it”.

    Genius 2: “I think there should be negotiations. I’m not a diplomat, so I don’t see a point in me putting a solution on the table.”

    Genius 3: “As much as I weep for the the predicament of the people in Ukraine, ultimately my greater concern is for all of humanity and for World War III”.

    …And that’s why I can’t take seriously most of the naive anti-war rhetoric :P

  2. Enough with the idiotic pseudo-arguments pointing to #ElectionFraud in the #US!
    Latest: #ThaddeusRussell on his #Unregistered #podcast (again).

    Imagine insisting on the likelihood that somebody raped someone by repeating that “the motive! By God he had a strong motive. The guy really, really likes sex. We know that for sure. And we know that there have been rapes before. And the system is not perfect! A rape is so easy to commit! C'mon, I'm just saying there was motive, there were ample opportunities, and the means were there!”

    🤢

  3. I love listening to lunatics and contrarians. There's a lot of value in learning about unsuspected points of view. That's why I like #Unregistered #podcast so much.
    Too often however, #ThaddeusRussell is just letting idiotic ideas stand unchallenged.
    Case in point, the latest episode with #MenciusMoldbug:

    MM: [Blatant overgeneralisation]
    TR: “Wow!”
    MM: [Reckless call to subvert everything]
    TR: “Oooh…”
    MM: [Caricature of opposite PoV]
    TR: “Nice!”

    TR: “You make my mind stretch!”
