    Any time someone links to a well reasoned video by him detailing something important and worded in a good way some lib is going to respond with a screenshot of this and totally undermine anything good that would’ve come from his better content.

    This will be showing up for years now.

      He’s too much of a loose cannon to be useful in the grand scheme of things. At best, he has a bunch of well-researched videos, but most normal people would be turned off by his social media no matter how well those videos may be. And those videos may be good, but they’re not exceptionally good nor is he particularly charismatic.

      I borderline think we would’ve been better off if he was a neolib or something because literally everything he says could just be deflated by pointing to his unhinged social media. But alas, we are stuck with him.

        Yeah I agree, unfortunately.

        He’s an ultra on China anyway so ehhhh i’ve had issues with him already. I think one of the things I did always like about him is that he’s sort of unhinged and has an extremely funny appearance to go with being unhinged, this is appealing. A part of his brand has always been that he is unhinged, without it he wouldn’t have generated the same attention for himself at all.

          Like he doesnt like any of the AES countries. Cackling on the Internet over a rando Pennsylvanian town being destroyed by floods as divine punishment by the great revolutionary forces in sky for being first worlders is not the radical based che guerilla fighter position he thinks it is.
