I'm not sure if you meant to reply to me, but I was very clear about the point, it wasn't "every point that disagrees with me".

Unless you don't think it's relevant to point out that a specific recurring point promoted by and paid for by Russian State media, under the disguise of "conservative free speech"?[0]

Right, i don't think that's relevant. You see how "bad person has that opinion therefore the opinion is invalid" doesn't lead to any kind of productive conversation right?


I think it's relevant, and that's why I commented to shed some light on it.

I never accused anyone of being good or bad, I can't know that.

But what I do know is that this angle is used quite often by the same people who push Russian propaganda, like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson.

How would you approach someone who has been misinformed into believing free speech protects foreign state interference and that's ok, for example?
