    I always thought he seemed alright based on his video titles and couple of the first minutes of the videos (the few videos I got through seemed reasonable enough, but they were always about pretty black and white issues), I guess the low production values and boring delivery saved me some time

    Now that I think about it, it's pretty scary if Beau is actually fed, they have unlocked leftist production

      His videos are very well done for what they are. I’d guess he’s a true believer in most of what he says. He clearly has a lot of experience organizing and it’s unfortunate that the left doesn’t have more practical content about doing that. I just lost a lot of faith in him after the invasion and after I found out about his trafficking conviction. Absolute best case scenario was he meant well and massively mismanaged hundreds of people’s livelihoods and material well-being. But that’s a very generous reading of the situation. Dude has also talked at anarchist conferences about anarchist unity and how a post-collapse economy will be mixed either way so there’s no point in the ancoms fighting the agorists and whatnot.

        Yeah, he doesn't really smell like Eglin Air Force Base to me

        The fact that he's convicted of human trafficking is pretty fucking damning when it comes to ideology, I'd hope any principled person would be hyper aware of even any appereance of human trafficking let alone do it badly enough to warrant an investigation and conviction
