Ordinary Things with some pretty reactionary takes and strange praise for Milei (www.youtube.com)

Anybody else watch this channel? There's some good videos but I often get very liberal/ancap vibes from this dude. His section on Milei is really fucking weird. He craps harder on climate protesters than Milei. He seems like a Louis Rossman or Johnny Harris type youtuber that's only coincidentally aligned with leftists. Tell me I'm not crazy here.

Also he like, shits on Hasanabi in his section on israel/gaza which is on its own some hard core radical centrist garbage. Am I crazy for seeing this dude as pretty reactionary/liberal?

Same circle as Wendigoon and also now sadly MoistCritical.

IH and the other two have a terrible, laugh exasperatedly at unfunny jokes kind of podcast now.

Now I don't think Charlie is a bad guy, but IH and Wendigoon are basically conservative chuds.

Its a shame as IH has put out some actually funny and interesting stuff in the past, as well as Ordinary Things.

But, eventually, most people who are way too online, well off, and already have a fan base of also disproportionately waaay too online bored, economically trapped youngish men, if left to their own devices, tend toward political views that only make sense with a facile understanding of issues.

Time and time again we've seen previously more relatively politically neutral YouTubers personally adopt more conservative views... in the long run its determined by the logic of what will keep them popular.
