People would rather see Jordan Peterson strung up for defending the truth than to deny Oliver Stone his 15 minutes of Canadian fame. Disgusting in every way!

Pop sensentialist? I need to get out a dictionary. Taking a shot at Mr. Taibbi? He's my fav!

“A fantastically wealthy Hollywood has-been who has asked the bloodthirsty Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin to be his daughter’s godfather...”

Putin is a fascist thug who is sending killers to Ukraine to murder civilians; rape children in front of their mothers; destroy the harvest and starve the global south; kidnap children from their homeland and Russify them; bomb mothers in hospitals; and commit a genocide against the Ukrainian people in front of the whole world.

Not “problematic” enough for our country’s cultural taste makers. Stone is a sicko.

A lot of hate for Stone the man; very little debunking actual facts about the JFK assassination.

You want us to believe the magic bullet theory, but toss out Stone's frankly more realistic explanation due to Stone's political affiliations and friendships? Say whatever you want about Oliver Stone, but there are quite a few unanswered questions about the JFK hit. Likely the reason why the U.S. government continues to delay releasing all the files associated with the nearly 60-year-old killing.

And re: Robert Kennedy's assassination, his own son has gone on record multiple times that Sirhan Sirhan wasn't responsible.

Thanks. I listened to Lex Fridman talk with Stone. I was very disappointed with Stone's position on Putin and even more surprised to learn that Fridman loves Stone. It just doesn't make sense, given Lex and Prof Stephen Kotkin who is a very elite scholar of Russian history are like father and son. I have huge respect for Kotkin, and Oliver stone just doesn't belong in Kotkin's league of deep knowledge and critical thinking skills.

Thanks Fred! I'm feeling somewhat gobsmacked after reading that...

What the hell is wrong with people? Why all the fawning over Stone? Are they completely ignorant? Do they just not care about his disturbing mindset?

Putin is sending troops into Ukraine to rape women, murder civilians and steal children. Oliver Stone wanted Putin to be the godfather to his 22 year old daughter. Stone is truly a sicko, pimping his daughter in order to achieve some kind of bond with Putin the sicko.
