Same ... I support them on locals too (turned off renewals; expires in the summer). It was after the Israel thing I realized he talked to his audience the way that he talks to a jury. He wants to convince us his side is right.
There were earlier warning signs. He confronted people complaining that Rumble was funded by Peter Theil, and then defended Theil by saying James Corbett was wrong! ... Months later he brings up Corbett again and can't even get his name right.
I don't like how anti-state Corbett is sometimes, but I still trust him 100x that of Barnes.
Also Viva use to do great 15 min law clips every week. Now he only does long unwatchable legal streams because he doesn't understand that Nick Rekieta is a terrible role model.
@djsumdog his position is basically that hamas hates israel, so it's okay if israel just indiscriminately kills everyone.
this is forgetting the part where mossad created hamas. and the whole open debate that there might not actually have been any meaningful elections in a decade.
they were actually able to coexist peacefully over there until the rockefeller orgs created israel

i feel like people should be significantly more forceful than this, but whatever.
@Sirpantangelini@Zennagain The "but he's a rookie" argument doesn't work when you're praising #Trump's first term, because he was a rookie too.
> Trump is still in the game with clearly biased refs. It's not like that bias goes away if you put the rookie in.
While this is true, #Vivek has less material for lawfare attacks than #Trump, and if he had won the #GOP nomination, the #Democrat party and their allies would be too flat-footed to do similar things to him that they're doing to #Trump.
@realcaseyrollins@Sirpantangelini@Zennagain i think vivek has a better understanding of fifth generational warfare problems, considering he spoke about AI and the dangers of blindly trusting machine output.
trump has spent his whole life doing atrocious shit to help pfizer, from getting people evicted from their family homes to build warehouses to removing all of the safety precautions for gene therapy rollouts. he never learned how much of an "everyone hated that" move it was to the point he was getting actively booed on his own stage every time he bragged about it.
@Zennagain honestly the problem with email is that microsoft/google can control who is allowed to send messages, and they're about half or more of the email accounts on the internet.
some of us do run email servers but google can/does just drop everyone but other big techs in to spam
