He has a frightening worldview, he's more concerned with final outcomes than individual freedoms. Hell the end of that video basically says that the individual doesn't matter, shouldn't matter. Only the group. Scary shit.
Luckily he's too much of an ineffectual pussy ever to be any kind of real threat, although much like other such pussies (Bob Chipman comes to mind) he certainly has a totalitarian mindset.

There's a famous thought experiment that's often brought up as a test of the limits of utilitarianism as a moral system: is it moral to kill one human being and harvest their organs if doing so would save the lives of two others? I'm pretty sure that Johnny boy wouldn't just agree: he'd volunteer to pull the trigger on the pneumatic hammer himself. He is a horrifying, anti-human individual, whose moral repulsiveness is only restrained by cowardice.
What always gets me is how people think arguing "free will doesn't exist" is an argument for ideals like what Josh has. If we're all solely the product of the media or government or whatever then responsibility does not exist and it raises the question of what changed to produce someone like himself that supposedly sees beyond it. I'd say "why bother changing anything" but it's more of a "how" question if my thoughts are not my own.
You never hear an answer for this beyond "It's more complicated than you think" when it's already established that "thinking" is not a thing, it's always reaction or inherent programming. Even me trying to explain this circular logic of his doesn't sound coherent.

and Joshintosh seems to have given up on it because Star Trek is too racist against Klingons:
how are Klingons not "foreign"? and the only suicide bomber so far was a Vulcan, in episode 6. terrorists, my taQbang sl!

Jedi steal babies to make them into autistic peace keepers with no emotions or attachments. They don't have any 'manhood' or 'womanhood' to speak of. Indeed the entire thing about Anakin's origin story was to show how dysfunctional those teachings were, which Hayden Christensen portrayed perfectly everytime ''sand'' was mentioned.
As poorly executed as it was, I thought that the underlying message of the prequels was that the Jedi Order had become too bureaucratic and dogmatic for their own good, and that the restrictions that they place on emotional attachments was a recipe for disaster when dealing with someone with as much baggage as Anakin (I'd also add that his love for his son, which led him to destroy the Sith, is a direct REPUDIATION of the prequel Jedi's teachings). McIntosh really seems like the kind of guy who can only ever do surface-level analyses of media and fails to grasp the subtext beyond that.
