With this guy I can never decide if he's some dude whose politics and views on business I abhor who just happens to agree with me in this one area or some dude I agree with who also happens to have abhorrent views on politics and business.

I certainly refuse to hero worship him, if only on the aesthetics of his schtick, so I can live with the happy medium.

I'm going to regret asking probably, but what are his abhorrent business and political views?

I don't watch enough of his content to have picked this up, but from what I have seen, I have agreed with the majority of it (though it's mainly been "fuck corporations screwing end users" and "Fuck LTT")

Well I see mostly what he does is in good faith and some things have worked.

He in general does things for the community of citizens and fights against the industry.

I don't know his personality political views except for right to repair and rights to own shit you bought. And I watch his videos at least 3 times a year

It's okay to like one thing about a person but disagree with him everywhere else.

People are complex.

I personally think he can go fuck himself in every other area. Right to repair he is a convenient ally.

I don't know and I don't think we're supposed to know. But he has advocated for libertarians in the past.

If there is one guy I would entrust my board repairs (and showcasing bad things happening in the industry) with, its Louis!

I tried but unfortunately they only work on Macbooks.

Powerful quote, also true
