Incredibly succinct analysis of exactly what is going on. It’s remarkable how willing the political left in America is, when it comes to restricting our individual rights and controlling our lives. And in reverse, the political right does the same but on different issues. Why are other approaches - like a balanced centrist way of governing - so rare?

Rossman sometimes makes good points, but he's also very prone to generating controversial content (intentionally), so as always, practice some level of skepticism.

His talks seem pretty clear cut to me. Can you list some examples?

"Flock is bad" is not a controversial statement. "Mandatory age verification tech lobbied for by Meta is bad" is not a controversial statement. "Open source 3D printing should be defended from billionaires" is not a controversial statement.

Rossman is only controversial if you don't think people are entitled to privacy and consumers aren't entitled to the entirety of the products they purchase.
