I tried watching him again but the lack of class consciousness and understanding of imperialism is insufferable now that I’ve read theory. Only some videos seem worth watching but it’s really not worth finding the corn kernels in the libshittery…

Why is it called Secular Talk? Did he use to talk about religion earlier before pivoting to politics?

    He's one of the very very few (or only?) of the so-called New Atheist movement in the late 2000s and early 2010s who didn't turn into a weirdo reactionary, and kept his channel name the same from that era. Unfortunately he's still quite libbed up, but he has his moments.

    Yeah, he made his channel towards the end of the youtube atheism wave, then he shifted to politics. Perhaps because the interest on atheist stuff was diminishing, or because he used to cover a lot of uber-christian political stuff and it just transitioned to general politics.

    10:1 - easy dunks on social conservatism leading to chomsky-esque "critique" of US war machine at best, along with being aghast at the lack of and eroding socdem provisions without sufficient care for status as a settler. And then didn't evolve past that because the fruits of his Herrenvolk Democracy was too enticing to give up.

    (I'm just speculating here)
