      Calls himself a researcher, doesn’t provide any of his research.

      I no longer have my original research files from the crypto rabbit hole. If you want to see them, you’ll have to get my laptop back from the government. Ask them how they got it - it’s a very fun story.

      Oh yeah, “the government” has all his research. Which government? Oh you know, the government. Because apparently this super genius researcher was unfamiliar with the concept of “backups”.

      I’m just saying, there is a very thin line between genius and insanity…

        Yeah, this thing vacillates wildly between insightful and utter nonsense more than perhaps anything else I’ve ever read.

        I thought this line was impressive:

            Fascism doesn’t exist without capitalism. There’s been vicious and authoritarian socialist/communist states, but not fascist
