One thing that bothered me about this documentary were his interviews on Russia Today. He didn't understand the extent to which he was being used by foreign adversaries to push a narrative favorable to them. That doesn't mean his arguments are wrong, but they're in a quite misleading context. If you go on RT you should do it like Yascha Mounk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cucX1IO78lM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cucX1IO78lM In hindsight, wikileaks was more an arm of Russian propaganda than Aaron understood.

He seemed pretty introspective and thoughtful about politics.)
