    I started watching this guy and at first I thought he had some good points.

    But then I realized that he makes a lot of points but basically doesn’t give any evidence for them, and occasionally using straw-mans etc. I feel like you need to be quite nuanced when actually providing good political commentary, but this guy doesn’t do that.

      The first time I saw and heard about this guy, it was from a YouTube video of him cosplaying a lunch date with Justin Trudeau. This was somewhere in 2020 or 2021 after the initial covid lockdowns.

      This was a adult. Recording himself on a lunch date with person who wasn’t even there. I can draw some pretty crude assumptions from that action alone. But I won’t. He’s not worth the time or attention.

      People like him are all words with no action. They are losers. Losers do not deserve the attention they demand from everyone else. Take away their speaker and microphone and let them die in obscurity.

        Your only criticism was that he acted in a skit for youtube?! How is that even a criticism? Was it, like, bad or something? Doesn’t even seem to matter to you, the mere fact of is is enough somehow.

          It was enough to see that he had nothing worthwhile to listen to because it was all attacks with no support for his position on anything. The same story for American politicians. The same story for workplace politics. The same for everyday conversations. At least from my experiences.

          It’s hard to take these people seriously because there’s only attacks. They hold no conversations, only debates fueled by attacks.

          Even today as I hear others talk about him or glimpes headlines and skim articles, it’s been the same words coming his mouth. The only difference from a few years ago and now is that there is more American influence in his campaign slogans and buzz words.

          Even the brief moments I watched from the debate has been nothing but the same words and attacks as the years before.

          He’s a manipulator, he does not deserve the attention he demands. It’s personally hard for me to watch history repeat itself, over and over again. My safety will greatly affected by people like him in power.

          That video was a warning sign of a manipulator. And his actions to this date have been consistent of a manipulator. So yes, that video did greatly influence my view on him.
