It’s amusing seeing some of the bigger so-called “dissident” Substackers do a whole shuck-and-jive regarding the Iran war (don’t ask me for names, I’m not interested in a flame war, but it should be easy to identify). “Oh, it’s good we’re getting rid of the bad mullahs, but maybe it’s not so good, we’ll have to wait and see.”

Lol, brother. It brings to mind the Dostoevsky quote "Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing."

I would have more respect for these guys if they were actually being paid for shilling, but I think they content themselves with riding the coattails of weak network effects. It’s embarrassing.
