I really like how he addresses the point 99% of Libertarian "critics" ignore that "If the corporation can just send private goons to force people then so can the people send goons to fuck with the corporation". Most criticism of AnCaps fail before they even begin not because the ideology has flaws but because the people who are attacking it didn't even try and understand the concept.

Particularly annoying because the same "people" have no problem steelmaning Communism and Socialism and addressing how it is supposed to work before going into the flaws of it.

Anyway new video:

 
I only found out about this guy thanks to this thread and I'm still trying to figure out my feelings about him. I will say I'd invite this guy to a dinner party because I'd enjoy him melting people's brains thanks to outrage.

I would say I respect the fact that he clearly has his own views of the world, even if I know for a fact I disagree with a lot of them, especially with regard to the role of government and power.

I will say that regardless of how I ultimately view him, I respect the fact that he seems to have worked out a personally coherent worldview. That takes a lot of thought and effort and I admire that.

Ended up buying his first book, only about 80 pages in so far but I'm enjoying it. Nothing mind blowing but it's some solid military sci-fi.
 
He made an appearence on Arch and Sargons podcast. Sargon was a no show so it was just Feral and Arch. Was a good time. Arch was able to talk more about politics and wat not with him. He's surprisingly way more based then he lets on in his videos.

 
New video, he talks about the insanity of trying to make good normal things "fascist" and how shit like "whiteness is evil" backfires hard. How the sort of nazism rehabilitation and painting basically good things as being literally nazi is deliberate sabotage.


Some of his points remind me of the joke/comment on BigBunjee's Doctor Who Epstein's a RN video

I've seen this type of narrative play out shittons of times in media and uh it's always it's every single time they portray society as being like vastly better and everyone is being more happy. You think if multi-racialism was such a boon then everyone be miserable without the browns, right? They never put forward a tangible benefit. It's always like a moral requirement. You need to suffer for the sake of the brown. You gain nothing from this transaction other than a feeling of pride. When your young daughter gets raped or killed by some third world brown, you can take pride knowing that you allowed this to happen.

His analysis of the issue is pretty interesting, but I think he is assuming too much competence by the Elites.

Nice try but you'll never get to me to subject myself to listening to Arrrrch again.

A personal interpretation, based on knowing some things he doesn't:

He's not a Jew, so he's never heard them "around the dinner table" (so to speak), so he doesn't know how much of the horrible shit that antisemites say about Jews—specifically about their attitudes toward non-Jews—is true (greatly understated, actually).

Jewish innocence is the part of the "post-war myth" he still believes, maybe without consciously knowing it.

That's normal. He shouldn't be a "nazi" (which nobody is, but you know what I mean).

I found his point about how the writers fundamentally misunderstood the Skeksis spot on. It goes hand in hand with the fundamentally Manichaean world view that lots of people seem to hold, where evil is a substantial "thing", especially in fantasy, and reducing the Skesis down to that falls wholly into that flawed worldview.
