Geopolitics

It seems like Tucker Carlson has in-fact interviewed Vladimir Putin...

Is this bad, good, horrible? 

Free speech vs. giving a stage to those who shouldn't have one?

To me it seems important to have some insight into the minds of significant world leaders.

But we have to be aware that this will likely be heavily biased and full of propaganda. I don’t think that completely invalidates the interview though, but you have to read between the lines.

Like I’d love if someone also interviewed Kim Jong Un, I wonder wtf that guy is thinking, his world view, etc

If Tucker was interviewing Hitler in 1938, non-0% of people would say:

"Yeah, but the Jewish elite indeed controls most important industries."

"It's just Austria. They speak German anyway."

"Czechoslovakia isn't German, but people in the Sudetenland region speak German."

While I agree in principle, I think there are edge cases like this one 

@ignas has a pretty good analogy here

Philosophy

Or the ol' oversimplification of Carl Popper's paradox of tolerance 

cc /philosophy

I used to like this paradox, until I understand it's a power play. There's no absolute definition for "tolerance". Different societies, different ppl, have different limits. The key here is, who gets to define what's tolerance or what's intolerance, and who gets to silence others.
