## Summary

Privacy, political, and free speech advocates are portrayed as so narrowly focused on their own cause that they miss the bigger picture and undermine themselves. Libertarian podcaster Dave Smith, whose podcasts Proton sponsors and who tells audiences to buy Protonmail, is said to use Gmail. Journalist Max Blumenthal of The Grey Zone encourages college protesters to boycott Israel, but he is said to use Gmail and Google surveillance on his website, and Google is described as a military contractor for Israel.

But yet he uses Gmail.

Yet Google is a big military industrial contractor, for Israel.

And he has Google surveillance on his website:

Death by Drone

Google AI drones Palestinians to death. How can Max Blumenthal, allow the very oppressor, that he claims to boycott, oversee his tech infrastructure, and doxx his journalism sources.
