Personally, I find his Linux and privacy-related endeavors commendable, but I widely disregard of his political stances.
His political stance is garbage but has some usefull videos llike degoogling lineageos
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.
Disagree with his politics, but otherwise based.
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.
Holy shit as a socialist this is the most grounded and respectable take I have ever seen.
He’s a weeb. Enough said.
