Sorry it took a while but for anyone who doesn't enjoy video here is the audio version.

We talked about the experience and thoughts about the interview on the livestream this morning. To summarise: it went roughly as expected and although I found some of Konstantin's arguments frustrating, it was much more of a proper exchange of views than with previous guests with such a significant ideological divide.In any case this episode will probably come out with intro/outro AFTER the next decoding on the main feed.

I'm not sure I can survive another dose of Kisin's faulty thinking

“Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?” - George Carlin. It works for centrists too.

In any case this episode will probably come out with intro/outro AFTER the next decoding on the main feed. No, oh, please don’t subject anyone to an intro/outro for this guy. Leave it be, it speaks all by itself.

This was exhausting. Chris raised an issue. “You have no evidence of that. Give me an example.” Chris gave an example. “That’s just a single example of me doing that on a single occasion. You can’t generalise from that… And I disagree that I did that at all, because you’ve defined it wrong.” Is there an aperture rating on the gurometer? Zooming in on specifics when faced with a broad criticism, then zooming out when faced with specific evidence.

Holy moly this was exhausting. Props to Chris. What an insufferable person. Contradicted himself every other sentence. Also, comedian?!

Jason Trock

This guy is so insufferably hollow. That he is presented with any authority on any subject is annoying.

Martin Pelchat

I'm impressed at how Chris kept his composure and cool throughout the entire interview. Chris always responded very respectfully despite some serious affronts from Konstantin.

Does Konstantin have some kind of cognitive disability or is he an extreme solipsist?

I actually really enjoyed this mostly because it changed up the regular format of DtG. Admittedly, I don’t know who Konstantin is — so I don’t know If he’s accurately representing his past positions or just playing a somewhat dishonest position with the benefit of hindsight being 20/20 (namely around lockdowns and the relative risk of lockdowns compared to Covid).

Matthias Meeta

Saying he doesn’t know anything about Hungarian politics shows him to be either disingenuous or just incredibly uninformed. The issue has been widely discussed and reported on for years. If he truly doesn’t know anything at all about Orban, people shouldn’t take his political takes on anything seriously. It’s much more likely though that he does, which makes claiming that he doesn’t worse because he’d be lying to avoid having to defend him and his fans.

Kisin: “The left repeated the Russian election interference thing so often that I started to believe it” Literally the very first sentence of the Muller Report: “The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion.”

I think it's worth noting that Kisin's conflation of 2016 and 2020 election-theft-claims is an emerging GOP talking point, increasingly pushed by the MAGA / illiberal-right faction of the GOP such as Kari Lake (GOP candidate for Arizona governor). Republican strategists, pundits and candidates are increasingly pushing the idea that all US elections are flawed, firstly to re-litigate 2020 but also, worryingly, to minimize any future scrutiny for whatever dodgy tactics GOP election officials might do at the state level in future elections. It's a completely partisan talking point and I think it highlights how thin Kisin's nonpartisan schtick really is.
