As most of you know, I am from Palestine, and something I’ve been noticing recently is the coverage that a lot of brainless goofs are getting.

On the internet especially, but people shouldn’t pretend the internet is not part of our lives.

The main three people I am referring to here are Tucker Carlson, Prof Jiang, and John Kiriakou.

The least brainless here is the guy that worked for the CIA.

Who do you think is behind the coverage and visibility they are getting?

My parents have heard about those three and have seen videos.

Jiang is such a crank and its so embarrassing that leftists watch it.

I thought people were watching Jiang the same way I would watch Alex Jones, I really just want to laugh at a crank.

Problem is that Jiang is like 80% of the way there with basic observations and then immediately flips the conclusion into something ridiculous. And for people that can make basic observations but can't quite form the conclusion themselves they just ride along with him cause he has a whiteboard and speaks confidently.

he's espousing views that don't flatter to the united states; so it automatically garners support.

Exactly. Theres a user in a discord server I'm in that just constantly Stans jiang and its so embarrassing. His predictions are so elementary. War with Iran is not a prediction-amerika has been attacking them since 1953.
