Yeah the one that really stuck with me was the one where he was watching a bunch of Chinese huddling under a bridge in order to access heavily censored and controlled internet through an organizations nearby Wi-Fi. Because their communist Utopia didn’t provide them access at home. Saying that the West needs this sort of thing. I mean if I were to try to assume the best of him I can only imagine he thought it must have been some social club or something?

Not to mention some of the really strange stance changes groups like even The Young Turks have taken of late. One would have to be extremely naive to think that Tim pool or even just right wing commentators were the only ones contacted and contracted by Pro authoritarianism groups.

I’ve been following Vaush for the past month or so, and have watched a few of his debates as well.

Overall, I find that I largely agree with him on issues like market socialism and on general liberalism (i.e. stuff like “the one good idea liberals have is individual rights”).

I feel he maybe overuses accusations of fascism, but I can’t really point to any particular case and stay no, it was wrong to identify this as fascist. I just might not be as willing as he is to accept that fascism is the second most widely held political ideology.

I also like that he’s willing to go back to first principles and defend his ideology while accepting that it’s a bit arbitrary, and he genuinely doesn’t come across to me as patronizing about it.
