    I think you’re reading too much into what I said.

    I literally meant to say one thing: people who want to follow someone won’t care where they go. They won’t process that information as something to be concerned about. That’s literally it. I wasn’t saying anything about the importance of the individual.

    If it helps at all, I’m fairly far left and I’m not trying to defend anything. There’s no agenda here. I used her as an example because I was once one of those “conspiratorial leftists.” Everything was about the American Empire, and her going to RT if anything was an assurance that what she said wouldn’t be “altered” by US political pressure. That’s what I believe other people will think of Carlson as well.

      I dont particularly care about your personal politics, it’s still disingenuous to compare a relative nobody going to RT to the biggest right wing pundit going to RT and insinuating them as the same. There wasn’t a need to bring up a random left leaning nobody with orders of magnitude less political sway and smaller following to a conversation about Carlson’s viewers figuring out he’s an asset to the Russian government.
