For me I’ve no issue with individuals who bring actual institutional knowledge to the public square. Even if I disagree with their positions, if you have relevant experience then it’s a value to the public discourse.

My issue is when said expert has demonstrated very poor judgment and even been obscenely incorrect, over an extended period of time, and yet they receive no form of accountability. They just are allowed to prattle on.

For context, this is an example of how China talking points are positioned and then disseminated within the United States.

Find individuals whose positions mirrors that of the Beltway consensus and also provides for a useful foil to those looking for an external party to blame.

It need not matter if that individual has been completely wrong for two full decades. So long as his message remains intact - even if wrong - he/she will always have access to a mic.

This exhibit below, Mr Gordon Chang is but one of many examples.

Young disenfranchised white guys getting together and deciding they needed to do identity politics because every other group in the country was ethnically tribal was the absolute easiest prediction I ever made during the woke era.

And now it’s come true.

At this point I’ve come to the unfortunate conclusion that every brave man who gave his life fighting for America died for nothing.

Vietnam just shut down 86M+ bank accounts over missing biometric data. 🇻🇳

A brutal reminder: the money in your bank isn’t really yours. I pray my Vietnamese brothers & sisters hold some #Bitcoin in self-custody 🙏

Check your financial privilege before calling Bitcoin a “scam.”

Vietnam just froze 86m bank accounts because account holders didn't comply with new biometrics laws that require a face scan or fingerprint for account verification.

If users don't comply by the 30th they'll lose their money. This is why we bitcoin.
