A lot of people here seem to not like Caitlin Johnstone (nostr:npub1rv0uaxv2drkn0j5s07jh7gztnex7przdehr9zphv5svc8c5dxsdsqwyhy3) very much. I suppose that’s mainly because she has such a skeptical view about NATO’s involvement in the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

I don’t agree with everything she says, but then I can’t think of a single person I would agree with 100% of the time.

Anyway, here is something she wrote recently that lays out exactly where she stands on numerous important issues.

And it did not start with the recent invasion It has failed to inform since the break-up of the USSR. Everything is reduced to a John Wayne western. Thereby infantilizing the US populace (and most of the West).

It is always only the other side that lies.

I don't know the details of what is happening in Ukraine and I doubt whether many do; I just know that I am being told lies, by both sides.

The mistake people make is to assume that if in a conflict one side is undeniably bad, then the others must be the good guys. Usually both sides are the bad guys!

It's not just Ukraine, she's campist across the board, an apologist for the worst tyrants like Assad.

Those of us who are anarchist do not like her because she has made her position on anarchists clear by insulting us and accusing us of being CIA or state dept stooges.

Sure she says some things that are correct, but her problems are very serious and disqualifying IMO and no way is the rest of her stuff special or valuable enough to be worth it, especially when there are so many other excellent sources to get the same messages from but with deeper understanding, more solid foundations and without the toxic campist baggage.

Caitoz is nothing but a self-promoting brand IMO.

BTW she was also adamant that the Jan 6 thing was a huge nothing, absolutely not a coup attempt, this was all just the empire blowing smoke up our asses.

I even went with that for a while myself, but the evidence that is emerging sure seems to paint a different picture.

She's a mess. I respect and appreciate you greatly nostr:npub1qzc8ejmflltq5uuwmvurfcfd4l96t6np6c8fzgj9l2rdfheadydshtyetl so I continue to follow and support you, but in many cases I will just block anyone boosting her.

I get that it can be hard to accept some of what I'm saying if you haven't seen it for yourself. I'm not on twitter anymore and can't find all this stuff to show you but these are things I experienced with her personally before she finally blocked me. I used to be a huge fan of hers also.
