Mental Outlaw is a reich-wing freak, so that’s par for the course. Unfortunately, there are a fair amount of these shitheads in the Linux YouTube space.
I’m reposting a reply to similar comment. Replying to “Mental Outlaw is far right and cryptobro”. But the TLDR of that could be that he has some takes that people here like and some takes that people here don’t like but he is not a National Socialist, otherwise give source. Perhaps Drew has been cooking again?
Those are just insults people, who cannot gasp that someone could have a slightly different opinion about something, use against him.
Some political things about him include: He …
is an anarchist (or somewhere on that political spectrum)
wants to have the right to own a gun
is pro free speech
thinks using money should not have to earn mega corporations that much money
thinks “brother should not kill brother” in the war in Ukraine
is not a fan of Elon Musk, Teslas or self driving cars
is pro Free Software and for privacy
Obviously depends on what is meant with “far right nutjob”. If it implies that anarchy (no government) is the opposite of socialism (far left - maximum government) then yeah but usually it just means “massive bigot”, which I don’t think he is, otherwise give source.
Similar with crypto bro. For me it means the pump and dump scheme scammer or at least someone who is pro crypto because he sees it as a mean to get rich quick. But if “Crypto bro” just means anyone who likes the advantages of crypto, then he indeed is one.
But regardless of how we name things, he doesn’t have any evil values (as far as I know). He just has different opinions than the average lemmy user. It should not be hard to tolerate him, considering this platform is a mass murderer fanclub (actual evil values, not just “quirky” politics).
His level of schizo is kinda funny but his comment section is even funnier. People there are actually delusional. They for example think every software is a fed honeypot, even open source stuff. bruh just look at the source. They should definitely seek professional help.
What is socialist to Linus is libertarian to Eric Raymond. In huge collaborative communities people need to learn to get along and be tolerant but if they can’t handle that they also have the freedom to fork so there is room for everyone to find their own space.

lmao. Elaborate.
he definitely leans right but he still supports foss and all the important stuff around that so does it actually matter much as a Linux YouTuber?
also his level of schizo is pretty funny

We have seen where just not caring about someone being the right wing nut job has led. Are we really going to keep using that excuse?
dictators will dictate whatever their political alignment is
Aw, that sucks that they’re infesting Linux, too. I thought that free/open source would be too commie-socialist for them.
