Personally, I find his Linux and privacy-related endeavors commendable, but I widely disregard of his political stances.

    Anything with pepe the frog or anime in the thumbnails or anybody that says “based” is not worth it in my opinion.

        Yeah, nah, I don’t think that’s true my dude. I’ve heard his opinions on the gay agenda, 5g, trans people, and ‘cultural marxism’ being taught in our schools. I think it’s just as serious as the place he gets alot of his views, the image boards we all know. It’s the same irony you see on 4chan

    I see everyone talk about his politics but what do you expect the man to do. Not stand up for his ideological support for FOSS technology and not talk about radical new technology such as the 3D printing of guns?

      It feel’s like being a genuine human being is enough to throw people off nowadays. It’s not like he’s a grifter, he has given critique on right wing social media, the “freedomphone” and republican legislation regarding tech.

    I disagree with his right-wing libertarianism, as many have said. I found him when i was getting into tech privacy stuff and watched it, then youtube started giving me more of the harder weirdos who were a little more fashy. I dont think Mental Outlaw is a facist, dont get me wrong - but the youtube algorithm may send you that direction.

    I think his older stuff was better and just had more content in each video. More recent videos (last 6-12 months?) it seems like he’s got two news articles he reads but then he just goes on big tangents to fill space.

    Informative tech content. I’m right leaning but more towards the center so I don’t agree with everything he says politically speaking, but I have no issues viewing his content since at the end of the day he’s still libertarian and anti-establishment. I also have no problems holding conversations with the anarcho socialists on lemmy, because at the end of the day they’re also not advocating for more control over my life, we just have disagreements on the technical details of how society should work.

    He tends to just read a few articles and that’s boring to me. I like how schizo anti government he is.

    I’m curious what political stances you disagree with because he only seems to talk about online privacy and guns.

    He’s very edgy, I don’t like his content. If I want someone to talk about tech, I’d rather they just talk about tech and not make wojack thumbnails and constantly making fun of politics.

    I think he’s a good source of knowledge, but definitely has his biases. I especially think it’s funny when he laments corpo bullshit, but then defends their right to do the bullshit. As with most libertarians, he gets close to the point and then nose dives off the bad takes cliff.

    As with most things, learn what you can, lionize no one.
