    Lewis Rossman.

    I have no valid reason for this. I fundamentally agree with the guy on most things for the dozen or so vids I have seen. Right to repair etc etc.

    But something about him just comes across as entitled and annoying. Like even if I knew he was right I would want to disagree with him.

      Louis Rossman is 1000% a insufferable fucking cunt.

      Just cause hes typically on the correct side of an argument and supports good things doesnt magically make his awful personality issues disappear, and his awful personality issues do matter when it comes to him wanting you to sit down for an hour and listen to him angry rant about shit.

      If it were anyone but Rossman doing what Rossman does, they’d be accused of being a plant setup by the other side to make right to repair and its supporters look like unhinged assholes with his attitude and how he acts. (Edit. I am NOT saying thats what Rossman is, to be clear. I’m just saying if someone less known pulled the same shtick that is how it would come across)

      I still don’t get the hate for Linus. He worked hard, made money and now employs a lot of people. The majority of people who left have only nice things to say about him.

      Only a few have bad views and everyone has people who dislike them. A lot of the controversies seem like stupid oversights or mistakes rather than malicious.

    Hasanbi… I never trusted him and I always knew he was a DNC plant. Was always waiting for his liberal fascist shift. Now he is a full turd butterfly. I watch more constitutional libertarian types now… and communist.

      How is he a DNC plant? He’s been backing anti-establishment candidates the whole time?

      Edit: oh, do you mean you just don’t like communists, and therefore the DNC must be using him to prevent libertarian candidates succeeding?

        A hint, this guy used the term ‘liberal fascist’, this isn’t a serious person.

        Also anyone who gets kicked out of a DNC event mid-event probably isn’t a DNC plant but I guess the DNC spending millions to out-advertise candidates he promotes could be some sort of weird funding scheme.

        Fwiw I’m not defending Hasan, but it’s a really interesting exercise to see if Hasan haters are even intelligible in their points when they show up.

      I remember watching some guy on youtube because he reviewed a knife sharpener and it seemed nice and whatever. I think i subscribed accidentally. Suddenly i had his videos on my feed and a lot of it was: how a gun saved my life and he made these dumbass arguments for guns that were all so fucking out there that i couldn’t delete his shit faster.

      I don’t like guns, but I don’t generally immediately have issues with people who do carry one.

      But holy hell I thought you meant a hand gun or something. This is a fucking huge as fuck assault rifle. That’s terrifying. I understand some people wanting a hand gun for protection (tho I never will personally), but carrying an assault rifle around is fucking ridiculous and should not be allowed.

        What makes the assault rifle scarier than a pistol?

        Like, do you think the bullets from that gun are more painful/deadlier than pistol bullets?

        Im not trying to belittle having a gun in public, I think that’s just unnecessary for every day life. But why is a big cumbersome assault rifle scarier than a very fast and easy to conceal pistol? To me, guns kill people dead regardless of the size. At least with the assault rifle slung like that its clearly a hassle to make ready to fire.

          It’s hell of a lot easier to commit a mass murder with an assault rifle over a pistol. People carrying assault rifles aren’t doing so for “self defense”. They do so for intimidation or to have the ability to kill a bunch of people at once. Sure, you can do it with a handgun, but it’s not anywhere remotely as quick and simple.

          I am not pro gun, but it’s a hell of a lot more understandable for me to see a person carrying a handgun or having a shotgun at home for home defense as opposed to a weapon of mass murder.

          As a physically small human who lives alone, I do sometimes get concerned for my safety travelling in certain areas. Or if I lived in a rough area, it honestly might be wise for me to keep one at home in the event of a break in. But I’m still never going to be the type to own one. I just find it a lot more reasonable in certain circumstances.

          tl;dr - an assault rifle is literally made for killing large quantities of people at once; I’d hardly call that self defense outside of a war scenario

            All guns are made for killing. It doesnt matter if its a .22lr, .45acp, or 7.62x54r. There isnt a purpose for guns except killing and practicing to kill. Self defense does not make killing any better or worse. I guess you could be scared of the capacity, but depending on the state, that AR could have less capacity and be significantly slower to reload than a standard handgun. I just dont understand what specifically makes you think a bigger gun is more dangerous than a little gun. If youre okay with gun a, why not gun b?
