A lot of people on the right hold that position, same as Owens. I think it’s a combination of several things. One is groupthink on the right, led by a couple of people like Tucker Carlson and some bloggers. Another is an old strain of isolationism on the right, rooted in the Jacksonian tradition. Another is over-the-top cynicism. Another is anger at Ukraine in general and some Ukrainians for having been facilitating Biden corruption back in the day. Another is just that the Biden administration supports Zelensky, ergo Zelensky must be bad. Another is that Putin is culturally aligned with much of the right in that he is unapologetically nationalistic and is considered an alpha male unafraid to be conventionally masculine.

In the case of this documentary, I expect that the massive backlash will guarantee a great deal of attention; unless, of course, there is a coordinated effort to ignore it. But I really don’t think that the cultists and racialists can bring themselves to do that.
