And why did you stop watching them?

    Pretty sure it was the "We need to talk about ‘Authoritarianism’ " video. I’d have to rewatch it to find what I found objectionable at the time lol

      I think I remember this one too. It’s fuzzy but IIRC it might have been how he rags on the USA establishment for being draconian but then basically said “Hey if the right people wielded all that State power…”

      There were also numerous times going light or outright conveniently ignoring authoritarian human rights abuses in places like China, to make them look like they’ve got it all together. Ick.

      If you end up remembering the specific bit though, I’m curious too. :)

      I don’t hate the guy or anything. But I do feel like he’s simply slid far on the authoritarian-left-side of the ideology-funnel that leads to extremism reinforced by self-deluding narratives. I hate seeing that happen to people. :(
