i can certainly understand why that's frustrating for you but you calling it open buddying just feels like an overly defensive misrep, i don't see why they couldn't come to those conclusions independently
i havant really viewed any two people in this thread as pushing a cohesive narrative, i think the reads lists have varied in shape and size well enough
i didn't like jalmonts reads list that much either but throwing him into some sort of bilderberg group isn't exactly an enticing argument to follow (and I think it's absurd to imply he's overtly trying to influence the game given all of the naked votes he's made), it just makes me question your motives
