    After Louis pinned and liked an anti masker comment under on of his videos and moving to Texas where the comment section on his video is starting to be filled by pro-gun right wingers and free speech absolutists, I stopped watching his content altogether.

    That might not be his intention, but his libertarian views sure attracts certain crowds.

    It’s sad, because he’s convincing and persuasive when it comes to talking about repair rights, anti-monopoly, etc. But I suppose that’s the same sentiments experienced by people who listen to Jordan Peterson, before sliding down into the incel rabbithole.

      Yep he made a video talking about how his employee had some rare reaction to the vaccine and started to spew conspiracy theories and say that they aren’t wrong. Sucks I agree with his right to repair stuff but his channel is a total cesspool of right wing nuts now. Not to mention he moved to Texas and doesn’t seem to have a problem with some of their abortion and authoritarian laws.

      I was under the impression that he pins random shizzle to his YouTube videos. Sometimes he pins something and then replies to it, expecting everyone to see it.

      I might be wrong here.
