Vlad Vexler on Lex Friedman’s proposition to interview Volodomyr Zelenskyy in Russian:
”Vibes-based interviews of active political figures are even worse than the half-real detachment from political figures we used to have. It throws out of the window the concept of thinking about politics in terms of cause and effect.”
”What’s missing are negative values: Quest for power, desire to destroy”

"Over the five years from 2018, distrust in the BBC had grown from 11% to 26%."

'One could reasonably suggest that the particular vitriol reserved for Muslims by the Labour leadership comes down to an as yet not-entirely-tameable internationalist consciousness among Muslim communities in Britain, and their proven willingness to exert this electorally.'
