I like a lot of his content.. but I honestly think he's far right. He has a video where he says they're just "teaching marxism" in college (the section of the video is literally labeled "LeftWing Propoganda"), and the reactions he has to certain things make me uh.. skeptical.

In this very video he says he'll post his content "wherever I'm allowed to", letting me know he knows how he's being perceived.

I watch his content and its pretty good but you're right his leanings are a bit questionable. A couple of months ago he made a youtube short about complaining about gas prices and blaming Biden because obviously POTUS controls world wide gas prices.

And this makes him far right?

[–] Anarch157a 6 points 2 years ago

It's a known tactic of American far right to blame high fuel prices on incumbent Democrat presidents while excusing Republicans with the "market forces" argument.

They know that the price of gas in US is beyond the president's control, but they still try to pin it on Democrats anyway.

...and why exactly are you highlighting his "political preference" as a some sort of problem? This ain't "Politics.world" as far as I'm concerned.

[–] anthoniix 11 points 2 years ago

I don't care where it is, far right fucks should be called out and kicked out. Bad political ideas are often indicative of other shitty personal traits.

Because no matter where you go or what you do, everything has to get political

[–] emokidforever 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because as long as politics is still fighting for human rights, rather than discussing the best way to implement them, it matters.

[–] GustavoM -3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"There is a place for everything", and forcing unrelated subjects/situations into everyone "because its a fight for human rights" is not the way to sort/deal with it. But rather, create unnecessary noise and trouble. Or else we'd have folks saving the world by shouting against the wall(s) constantly -- which is (pretty much) at the same level of importance than what is being (forcefully) proposed here.

I don't care if he's "far right." His content is on point, and he's respectful.

[–] RQG 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah I can acknowledge when someone who I mostly disagree with has a point.

At the same time I don't want to give someone on the far right any platform or exposure when that in the future could easily be used for rightwing propaganda.
