I don't have specific examples off the top of my head because I haven't watched his videos in years, but his attitude and tone in general is very pro-imperialist. I remember him talking about genocide and oppression in totally non-chalant "this is how the world works" sort of ways. His wife is a Christian-fascist anti-reproductive-healthcare activist which he seems to have absolutely no problem with. For all the sci-fi ideas he has about the future in terms of technology, all of them are imagined in colonial-imperialist-liberal socioeconomic paradigm, even when the such technofuturist ideas preclude the continued existence of such liberalism.

He pisses me off too. I'm still subscribed to him because I love his videos, but him as a person disgusts me.
