Tho I support gun ownership, this guy has no business owning a gun
"If you are a [in my perception] a communist, you don't wanna step on my lawn" === "If I don't agree with you, I'll shoot you"
Plus anyone saying "communist states" is definetly fallen victim of right wing propaganda and haven't even take the time to research what communisim is. Even the US left political wing is quite capitalisitic.
Just a bunch of bad "arguments" bagged up with slapsticks words which he doesn't even know the meaning of.
I watched this guy for a little bit and liked his Linux stuff and then in one video he started ranting about how those FOSS licenses that include a requirement to use software ethically are the worst thing in the universe because they bring politics into software and I thought “wait, this guy is ignorant asshole isn’t he?” and turns out yes, yes he is.
Not making the point to defend those licenses or not but all this guy cared about was FOSS not being political and it’s like…are you a child? Do you not understand how all of this is political?
People like this guy give FOSS a really ugly outward facing identity and it turns away soooo many potential contributors and chill people.
To your point about this guy being exactly the kind of person that shouldn’t be allowed to own a precision semiautomatic rifle with 30 round magazines of high caliber rifle rounds, I agree, I have seen that guy get so fucking angry about shit on his channel, he has no ability to control his anger and that kind of person shouldn’t be allowed to own an object that gives their temper tantrums the capacity to kill so many people so quickly before their rational control kicks back in.
"I don't wanna get political in this video"
Get's mega political and starts using political lingo used by the right wing
Way to go, dude, you played yourself.
I've also seen his temper in his videos plus adding what he said in this video, I am convinced the guy should not be allowed to own a damm BBGun. But he's lucky he doesnt live in a "communist state". Yo what a shitshow.
Propaganda works as a motherfucker, it did 80 years ago, it did 800 years ago, it did 8000 years ago and it is fucking AI weaponized today.
You want communism? Leave FOX on in your home at all times, you may not turn it off, you can lower the volume somewhat but it's still on as you sleep, and if you disable it the dark men come and enable it again while you're at work, and leave you with a little reminder and write your name in a little black leather bound notebook and tell your neighbors to report any suspicious behavior or they might be next up for a visit.
To someone who has experience, the GOP is Stalinism in disguise. They don't hate communists, they hate that they don't get to be the oppressors. They are 100% the same shit.
