Is this good gangster or bad gangster? I wonโt stand for you bad-mouthing comrade Ben. Maxโs good people too.
The good kind of gangster.
Max Blumenthal is a reich-wing sellout now, unfortunately.
What reich-wing thing he do? All Iโve seen are some left-libertarian takes, maybe anarchist takes.
I might have misremembered the first link, I thought Blumenthal wrote it. But these give me pause:

Some very concerning comments about vaccines:
What did Max do?
He started grifting anti maskers and anti vaxers since covid started and then split with Ben Norton over this and some other stuff. They didnโt talk about this earlier but recently they opened up about this on twitter and it seems like they are on bad terms now.
Max Blumenthal also posted a few articles that seemed to tacitly suggest that green energy and climate change are hysteric concerns.
Link the articles, because green washing is a real problem. Libs keep throwing money at electric cars and slightly greener luxury products that are still horrible (5% less bad yearly-iPhone upgrade), and attack things like diesel buses in cases where an introduction of a diesel bus will not only be net reduction, but a reduction even compared to buying a brand new electric bus from an imperial core country.
I mean I donโt know, I strongly disagree with his anti-vax stance, and so itโs not crazy to imagine that heโd have some bad opinion on climate change, but I also absolutely understand groaning when listening to two-faced north libs say the way to solve climate change is LNG.
blumenthal has a zucc vibe ngl
