      He started grifting anti maskers and anti vaxers since covid started and then split with Ben Norton over this and some other stuff. They didn’t talk about this earlier but recently they opened up about this on twitter and it seems like they are on bad terms now.

        Max Blumenthal also posted a few articles that seemed to tacitly suggest that green energy and climate change are hysteric concerns.

          Link the articles, because green washing is a real problem. Libs keep throwing money at electric cars and slightly greener luxury products that are still horrible (5% less bad yearly-iPhone upgrade), and attack things like diesel buses in cases where an introduction of a diesel bus will not only be net reduction, but a reduction even compared to buying a brand new electric bus from an imperial core country.

          I mean I don’t know, I strongly disagree with his anti-vax stance, and so it’s not crazy to imagine that he’d have some bad opinion on climate change, but I also absolutely understand groaning when listening to two-faced north libs say the way to solve climate change is LNG.

              So its wrong that dutch farmers arent ok with a neoliberal agenda that will most likely sell their land to black rock?

              If this is it then it’s a weak argument to take him down with

                The thing the article is complaining about is evil climate regulation trying to stop industrial agriculture (which greatly pollutes and robs the soil while requiring vast inputs).

                These protests were funded by agricultural corporations to fight government environmental regulations, these hogs can really go fuck themselves for all I care.

                Most western european farmers are bourgeois traitors who would gladly sell their country out to blackrock if it meant they got a few hundred quid in their bank.

                I am half-awake so please bare with me, but unless I misread it, those farmers seemed more concerned about their profits than the environment is my point.
