neat, haven't run across his stuff before
He's really good! No reactionary bullshit either, which was relieving for me. Love some JMG
Speaking of which, is there anything on Isaac Arthur? Sometimes, his "wording" gets me a little suspicious on his leanings/beliefs. He uses "thugs" as an unironic term for genocidal aliens in one of his more recent videos.
No reactionary bs is refreshing indeed. And not sure about Isaac Arthur, not too familiar with the guy.
He's a Trump supporter if I remember correctly. It's kind of strange, because he's surprisingly ok with communism, pointing out that the USSR and the US both made massive progress towards space exploration, so he doesn't view one ideology or the other as superior in regards to that at least.
JMG I have no idea about. His political leanings don't shine through at all in that all of his takes seem completely materialist. I don't think he's a Marxist, but I doubt he's a reactionary in any way. Perhaps apathetic/apolitical.
Yeah that's the kind of vibe I got from Isaac, right-wing libertarian albeit a more rational one than 99% of them. He seems like the type that would be open to dialogue about those things and perhaps changing his mind if you had a conversation with him.
I might be looking to deeply into it after all, but anyone using the term "thugs" always gets a little bit of a raising eyebrow from me, I dunno. Where did you hear the Trump supporter thing? Curious if I could find anything else he said; I believe ya though.
He and his wife were both found to be Trump supporters, though I forget the exact context.
