Never really liked his channel but wasn't aware of this video until now. What a fuckwit. Has no idea what communism is but keeps saying it when he really means authoritarianism. Says that a gun is "great for children", I'm hoping he meant for children to use...
I don't understand why I need to buy a gun to deal with downstream problems where there is an upstream solution. The reasons he gave for owning any gun are really societal issues. Instead of encouraging everyone to have a private army, why not encourage people to vote for politicians who will fix the upstream problems
Dad (a mountain Appalachian man who did own guns but always hated gun nut culture) always said it was better to use your brain than bullets. I wholly agree with your assessment that if we're at the point where we need guns, then we've already lost.
Exactly the problem with a lot of these gun nuts - they can't use their brains because they don't have one.
I'm not sure either interpretation of "great for children" is super great.
Weapons of war are not fucking toys.
I fear games like Fortnite being introduced to very young children might conflate "weapons of war" and "toys"
I liked some of his content, but it got pretty weird thats for sure.
