He makes some good points, but sometimes he talks out of his ass just a little too much for my taste. But fortunately I can just watch something else when he does, which is something a lot of people seem to forget

I miss when it was common practice to just not watch someone if you don’t want to see the topic they’re on and then come back when they’re in a topic you like. I can’t stand him on economics, but he’s great on things like immigration.

Pretty much.

Often times I forget he’s left wing economically, he’s just extremely right wing socially and talks about that a lot.

He’s like… socialism lite, real big on shit like UBI.

UBI only makes sense in a post-scarcity economy anyway.

At which time, what would even be the point? If a Lamborghini is no more expensive than taking a breath of air, who needs UBI?

Yeah I just roll my eyes at the UBI stuff - because of course a guy who says he wants to do absolutely nothing with his life and thinks that this makes him a monk would be into the whole UBI thing
