I was heavily involved with the far left around the turn of the millennium. Between anti globalism (battle for Seattle), anti war, and anti Zionism, we considered right libertarians to be staunch allies and friends. Something happened around the time of Obama and the tea party and I'm still not sure what but now we're at each other's throats. People I've been friends with for 20+ years call me a shill now. Divide and conquer I guess.
Your last paragraph disproves your thesis. The fact that covid and Ukraine are still in the news does as well. A new booster just rolled out and Biden still wants stuff sent to Ukraine. I think you're confusing your little fantasy this and reality again
So you're saying the unadulterated word of God Almighty needs third party commentary? Sounds like a shitty book and a shitty author, to me at least
