    I recognize those people from The Duran, and I’m still trying to figure out what their deal is politically. I hear them drop the word “globalist” occasionally without defining it, which is a little sus.

You want to consider what they say critically, but they often provide useful analysis.

        Yeah they seem to be paleocons who have a positive view of the PRC and Russia. They’ve also collaborated with those like Hinkle as well lol.
