Indeed not but your reaction to what they're saying does - if you sit there and don't push back against X-wing views, that does tend to paint you as X-wing-leaning yourself (regardless of where you were born and where you claim to be politically.)
In the linked video from above, for example, there's no pushback to Zuby's strongly conservative views about trans people, wokeness, abortion, etc.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoI think their style is just to ask questions and get the guest to open up about whatever topic they're discussing, and they do push back if the guest says something outlandish. They usually just want the discussion "out there" for other's to make their own minds up. > strongly conservative views about trans people, wokeness, abortion, etc. Don't forget that outside of Twitter, Academia and Silicon Valley (i.e. most of the world), these are not "conservative" views but pretty mainstream. (I'll caveat that with abortion that one is probably too big a topic to discuss here.)
