Olly's what happens when a bugman's comfort zone is Marxist literature instead of Marvel. Despite all his readings of "philosophy" he still has the wisdom and understanding of the world of a child.
He is well-spoken but his world-view boils down to "fascist are mean and leftist are good :^)". Watch his video on "why leftism will win" and you realize he basically contextualizes his worldview as good-guys vs bad-guys like a fucking Marvel flick. It never occurs to him that political ideologies will "win" because that's not history works and he seems to think that "the world bends towards justice" a belief that is only possible if you never read books written over 100 years ago, which of course he doesn't.
Don't be fooled by this guy, he may be erudite and name-drop impressive thinkers, but he's a sad bugman who consumes philosophy like comic books.

Lmao, I never equivocated fascism and communism, But lol at your definitions. I'm sure Franco and Tojo wanted to kill non-whites and Pol Pot wanted people to just get along :^).
But your incredibly naive childish take really solidifies the idea that Ollie and his ilk are children playing dress-up in daddy's Marxist ideology.

How can someone be as dumb as you: you read a criticism about a guy who frames everything in terms of good guys vs bad guys and the only way you find to describe the situation is:
>be fascist, want to kill all nonwhites
>be marxist, want everyone to live well

I hope you're a troll, but the fact that you gave that kind of response when the poster you're quoting isn't saying anything centris or stating that fascists and communists are the same, makes me think you're actually just a moron.

TrueDiltom's new reactionary style only started THIS year. Imagine being so arrogant and thirsty for e-fame that you speedread books and think yourself an authority after less 12 months of amateurish study. His debate tactic is to talk over others and regurgitate stuff that better read scholars have written on Nietzsche, Hoppe, Rothbard, Mises, Moldbug. Look at how he is constantly name-dropping authors. Perhaps most tellingly, look at how insecure he is, hiding his face behind the microphone, purposely overexposed streams. Look at interviews with him. This is a teenager trying to make a name for himself on the internet.

I kinda agree with this. He posted his bookshelf a few days ago on the insta and it's embarrassing to say the least. All pop-econ and a few Nietzsche books. I don't doubt he studies, but he's very surface level it's true.
