I'm a long time subscriber, this is only my second comment. I listened to the tucker interview and thought it was spicy, but didn't realize there was a "controversy" because I don't have Twitter (I'm a meatspace based human that likes podcasts because I'm working with my hands 18 hours a day, but the rest of technology can pretty much fuck off). Anyway, I frequently disagree with you (not oyour facts, but your interpretations) because you are a person who's life experience is very different than mine, and (in my opinion) a lot of the baggage that you carry from things you may or may not have been involved in, especially as regards American activities overseas, colors your worldview in particular ways that I think make you a tad too cynical in certain directions sometimes. If you knew me, you'd know that for me to call you "too cynical" means that you really might actually be. But, yours is the only substack I subscribe to, and I'll keep subscribing, because by golly, I've got my own damn brain in my head and I already know what I think, and by bringing a different perspective, with the level of consideration and deep thought that you give to your inquiry, your ideas enrich and challenge my own. I don't need a hero to worship, and I don't need some guy on the internet to do my thinking for me- but I'm grateful for and admire the work you do and even (especially) enjoy the occasional provocation. Thank you, and keep it up. Haters gonna hate.
