I’ll grant you the last one, since Wanderfound did not explicitly claim that the conflict was one sided and it was only my inference.
But you are simply wrong about the first two. There is an overwhelming reason to suppose that a party line-mouthing national TV host who can afford to take vacations in Switzerland is a well-paid voluntary stooge for the regime. So unless you present some evidence to the contrary, there is very little justification for total agnosticism.
This is reaching some Socratic level of epistemological doubt. After all, we don’t truly know that Jamie Dimon voluntarily decided to become the CEO of JPMorgan Chase. I mean - I’ve never tried, I have no idea what the selection process looks like. Maybe they can’t find anyone willing to do it for just $ 20 million a year. Perhaps he was really blackmailed into it - and once there, he just had to follow the logic of profit-seeking markets. Poor guy.
