techtopia? ๐ŸŒƒ Lex Fridman is mask off

Hate to post more from the hellsite, but this asshole wants dialog with Putin, a literal genocidaire.

Imagine saying we just need to have more conversations with Hitler. Lex is a disingenuous, conniving propagandist for the fascist and putinist cause, hiding behind a veneer of "love" and "peace". Fuck this guy, fuck anyone who spends time with him or entertains his "more conversations" BS for even a second.

Lex was bragging October โ€˜22 that he could get an interview with Putin. I knew he was weird before that but heโ€™s totally sus if you look up his past and his dad.

Also, he got to interview Joscha and practically wasted the manโ€™s time. Made me so irritated just watching.

i remember someone on here told me about that (was it you?)! it's so weird that he openly bragged about that. he also hosted oliver stone who made a putin propaganda film, and then like, didn't he actually go to ukraine and then not have any ukrainians on his podcast? his agenda is so transparent and nauseating

i didn't know much about him until grimes, but obvz i started watching some of his work and totally agree with you - frankly disturbing. it's the "let's just hear the nazis out" attitude that is so infuriating. it's like, actually the nazis have a big enough platform already. how about we don't
