Not sure where to post this so hoping here is fine.

A bit disappointed in BTN for calling Dugin "a very esteemed Russian political philosopher"...

Just yesterday learned Rainer Shea is now collaborating with Caleb Maupin which was really disappointing cause Shea had some good anti-imperialist articles.

I really didn't need to hear this on BTN. Not sure what answers I'm looking for, I guess I'm getting paranoid about third positionist infiltration and need to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for this explanation! I mostly read some of his articles via links from GenZhou and other explainer posts. Most patsocs are clowns at the first glance, so this one took my by surprise.

Shea always rubbed me the wrong way, but I chalked that up to my biases based on his vocal style. He got a lot of social proof from podcast hosts that I trusted, and I figured they were in the trenches with him so they had a better perspective on his position than I did, so I repressed my discomfort as "just feelings". Last year all those feelings came flooding back when I read his article about the PSL (I'm not a member, but I have been consuming their content a lot and feel I have a pretty good understanding of their position, and what Rainer was writing didn't withstand even cursory investigation).
