He makes decent points but it's so laden with internet tough guy bullshit I can't take him seriously.
I'm okay with it because he never goes so far as to use the word "I". You can say "This is what's gonna be needed" without saying "Watch as I pull out my 12 pound eggplant"... The cat-girl schtick also kind of defuses the tenancy toward toughguyism.
But then I'm not religious, so I have no predisposition to take offense at his jabs against Christianity.

It's not the jabs at Christianity as much as it is just the fact that he's another soulless take seller complaining about the enemy while sucking on the teat that he proclaims to hate. There is nothing this guy is saying that hasn't been said a thousand times before by smarter people who have never been granted revenue sharing. I just despise grifters.
Maybe it has been, but it never got to my desk - so he's worth something even if only as an aggregator.
20 years ago I was listening to Alex Jones, and I'm sure nothing he said wasn't said by someone smarter than him, but he was the one bringing it to my radio so it was providing value.
Generally speaking though, I'm quite biased in favor of anyone who is moving the needle in the right direction - at all - and against in-fighting and bucket-crabbing, because it's been shown that these are the actual risks.
