Maybe there's too much rage against musk. And maybe the argument is a bit less rage. Not that he's a god. Maybe abortion is bad at a certain point. I don't think on a lot of topics there's an objective concrete truth. I think there's opinionated nuance. Especially in something like abortion. I mean... How can we hate someone for being completely anti-abortion? They believe those are babies. I dunno. I've seen some pretty shitty areas of the world and some pretty downtrodden people. I don't blame anyone for anything that they think feel or do. Everyone's just a product of their environment.

​@@Pooshmaster47and it helps his ratings

[@zarteen]

@@Pooshmaster47 So I just got into Sam and from a collection of I'd say idk 3 to 5 videos here it certainly looks that way. There is a counter argument here. I've actually learned so much in the past few hours that I think at some point you have to level the burden of learning on the caller, or in my case, the viewer. It feels very heated right. I think you're right in maybe what I think you're getting at, that he could maybe tone it down a bit and be more careful of either the callers sensitivity or their information on the topic at hand. I think that would be a great thing for even someone like me who doesn't understand broader politics. (IE anything beyond common news outlets in america or here on youtube where they REALLY hammer that drama and entertainment value much harder than Sam.) At the same time, for someone who really values learning more about it uh... I think so far I can work with that. It's a double edged sword like that. If he let the caller rant about what seems to be affirming their own beliefs rather than listening to his counterpoints (I can admit this is somewhat presumptuous but to me this is affirmed by these trailing thoughts you can hear as he speaks over them) I genuinely do believe I'd learn a lot less. Also, I'm not sure it's even great for the caller. Sam really does seem to get straight to the point. Again, so far. I'm still thinking about all this but to me the recent video on Ukraine really illustrates the point I'm trying to make here. I mean I was googling shit left and right man. And I just hope these callers are doing the same, even if they felt hurt or even straight up don't want to take him at face value.

Yeah there is no such thing as a Pro-Elon Musk Progressive as the two are mutually exclusive from each other because Elon Musk believes in all of the crazy QAnon conspiracy theories. So if a person supports Elon Musk than that person automatically also supports QAnon there for that person can never be a Progressive. A Pro-QAnon Progressive is like being a pro-bacon Muslim!

It’s hard to think he’s not. He created and sold a website that was a predecessor to PayPal. He started a space/rocket company that takes contracts from NASA.
