I had to mute this guy because he's so deranged about certain podcasters and streamers it makes it impossible to take him seriously in other fields - even the ones where he's well-informed and thoughtful.

You'd be swayed if you were an obscenely wealthy old white conservative wanting to believe your beliefs are so obvious that even a younger lesbian with a plausibly 'liberal' affect naturally espouses them.
