I support you a lot Boston, but I disagree here. I'm not going to go into the motives of Putin, I don't really know. But I believe that Carlson is a great man who is doing his best to give the world more perspectives. Just my 2 sats 🫂 ⚡

And it’s totally cool to disagree! (isn’t nostr weird?)
I have close family friends, whom I love and respect, who would agree with your opinion here. And it’s true that he’s willing to broach subjects that many others won’t touch.
My issue is the incentives. I can’t shake the feeling that his motivation is “off”. And he frequently promotes a point of view where the powerful, rich, and deeply-entrenched incumbent is the first entity to profit from people buying Carlson’s arguments. As a bitcoiner, my first instinct is to be skeptical of this.
There’s a school of psychotherapy called NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) where you re-train your psyche and form new internal narratives.
The scary thing is that many politicians and pundits (left and right) employ these techniques in order to promote their party’s view. But the most adept/skillful of anyone is Tucker Carlson. He uses textbook “modern hypnotism” methods and makes it appear like he’s just a curious skeptic.
That shit can’t be good…
Yeah, this is true. And your right, we don't need to all agree nor should we
Yes we can agree to disagree without anyone feeling uncomfortable.
I like to keep an open mind as I was under the impression that he is very much a supporter of bitcoin.
Disagreement is healthy and it brings us closer to truth!
I get, for lack of a better word, a deeply “icky” feeling whenever I hear him talk, regardless of subject matter. I’ve felt that way since I was young, and I trust my instincts.
And the fact that he’s going out of his way to give a platform to the first mass murderer of the 2020s doesn’t do him any favors.
Love you homie - keep seeking 🤙
