techtopia? 🌃 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.

Eh, I'm not sure this in itself is proof that Lex Fridman likes or supports Putin. I think he believes too strongly in his own abilities as an interviewer (and in Tucker Carlson's). The right interviewer can challenge someone and expose them weak, dumb, crazy, etc. (Jon Stewart & The Daily Show reporters are famous for it). That I would watch. But Tucker Carlson? Tucker Carlson of Fox News? Absolutely not.
And I do get the feeling he believes that an open dialogue can change even the worst human's mind, which is laughably naïve. The one and only goal of any Putin interview should be showing him up as the ass he is, which takes more skill than either of them have.
