He's probably the kinda guy where if he was born in greece or spain or some other country with some actual libertarians/anarchists he'd be a lefty. just an unfortunate case of the burger brains
So he likes Parenti cuz… he’s an anti-imperialist?
Plenty of Ron Paul style atheists pick up on the anti-imperialist line and pivot it into "And that's why we need to abolish Social Security and Medicare". Case in point The old "All your pension money is gone because the government spent it" line that ignores where US Currency comes from and how it circulates.
That would make him the rare Unicorn of “libertarian who actually follows the tenants of the ideology and isn’t just some crypto fash who likes pot”.
No. It would make him a cynic who is rich enough to eat from the imperialist trough while denouncing how the sausage gets made. He's not fascist. More a Champagne Anarchist. Sort of a parallel to the Jon Stewart / Steven Colbert liberal pundit class, shooting spitballs from the back of the classroom without ever seriously threatening the establishment.
Yeah Penn and Teller's Bullshit had as many cringe takes as good ones. I think the primary motivation behind the topics that show covered was contrarianism.
I remember thinking to myself that Bullshit was a great show except like 1/4 of the episodes P&T just couldn't smell their own. But that was a while ago, so it might be a much bigger fraction if I watched now.

Pretty sure it was more to do with being an atheist and therefore opposed to a theocratic Tibet.
