I wasn't going to click until fascism was brought up and now he sounds like an interesting guy.

Sometimes it really is fascism, but other times it's a mild political disagreement.

One thing to look out for is that he maintains different outlets for "political" and "non-political" content, and he and his fans have a history of pointing to the latter to suggest that he's just a regular opinionated/straight-talkin' tech guru who's being slandered by unhinged haters. The reason that he does this is that his politics are trash (see his political blog, https://conservativenerds.substack.com, about half of which appears to be collections of low-effort memes revolving around transphobia and COVID conspiracy nonsense). He used to mix tech and politics freely on his Twitter account until he apparently realized that was damaging his brand and made it private.

I knew it. He's conservative and we can't handle mild political disagreement like grown-ups.

He's a lefty-turned-righty after the Portland riots broke his brain. An alternative interpretation is that he's a lefty with a brain. ;D I don't know why the other person automatically banned that as "trash politics". To me, "trash politics" are the self-destructive DEI puritanism that he rants about which is presently destroying Red Hat.

Of all the right-wing grifter types, he seems like a unicorn of sincerity and niceness. He's not transphobic; he just hates pronoun drama ruining good things. In other words, the correct and based take which should prevail. Either way, he's also virtually the only person reporting on lefty insanity in tech.

> we can't handle mild political disagreement

Do you take transphobia and covid denial as "mild political disagreement"?

That, for me, is not mild, and anyone that repeats this kinda garbage should put into the trashcan of history.
