      A linux tech tutorial guy from Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2eYFnH61tmytImy1mTYvhA) and Peertube who uses a ton of chan memes, which by itself isn’t a problem but his blog has some interesting content:

      Alex Jones, increasingly BASED, now even more banned from everything: https://lukesmith.xyz/blog/alex-jones-increasingly-based-now-even-more-banned-from-everything

      In Defense of “Pseudoscience”: https://lukesmith.xyz/blog/in-defense-of-pseudoscience

      Afaik there is no proof that he believes in conspiracy theories or is racist or whatever, but many of his video give me the vibe that he isn’t being honest about his politics. And I don’t get that feeling just from him using the typical memes, I have spent my fair share of time on the chans.

        Also, and this is kinda unfortunate given my comment above, the couple of videos that I have seen of him explaining linux tech are kinda good, apart from the politics part…

          also from this comment

          I got turned off from him when I checked his github and his email project has whitelisted domains like “nuke.africa” and “hitler.rocks” https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/mutt-wizard/blob/master/share/domains.csv

          if that’s your thing then go right ahead, I think this guy is a low key creep that lures young people into his ideology with meme language and high ideals, and then slowly reveals that he is obsessed with ted kaczinsky
