Anybody else watch this channel? There’s some good videos but I often get very liberal/ancap vibes from this dude. His section on Milei is really fucking weird. He craps harder on climate protesters than Milei. He seems like a Louis Rossman or Johnny Harris type youtuber that’s only coincidentally aligned with leftists. Tell me I’m not crazy here.

Also he like, shits on Hasanabi in his section on israel/gaza which is on its own some hard core radical centrist garbage. Am I crazy for seeing this dude as pretty reactionary/liberal?

    Personally, I will treat content creators differently even if they create similar content, based on their history. Reputation is something that can be earned or broken over time. IH wasn’t just a reactionary, he also never acknowledged or apologized for it. I’m all for rehabilitation, but even the most lenient leftist will look for some evidence that someone’s changed. In this case, it just looks like he went covert and turned to looking more respectable.

    Charlie, on the other hand, has gone out of his way not to misgender Ezra Miller when commenting on that controversy, so I’m definitely willing to extend him more grace regarding… Well, I don’t know whatever he’s thought of being reactionary for this time.
