This is completely uncalled for even if you disagree with his views. It's barely on topic at best (probably best avoided altogether because there's unlikely to be productive discussion here), but if you must then the correct way to do it is to say what his views are, and explain why you think they are wrong. It's not ok to call someone "a freaky little neo-nazi religious nut".

I did. Read the end of the sentence you quoted. It's a snapshot of his hateful views. There is, however, breadth and depth to his hate. Which is I directed you a few good keywords to search his own words in context to get a taste.

I'd say take my word for it and don't waste your time. But it's your time, bud.

No one should be shunned and shamed for their worldview.

As wrong as they may be, shunning and shaming are also wrong-headed (in my worldview).

Edit: I think it's fine to respectfully share your concerns about him though.

I'd say read some history on effective non-carceral and non-violent ways to deal with hateful people: shunning and shaming is the best option. It lets hateful people live their lives in a bubble if that's what they want. But also gives them a chance to address their abhorrent views, make amends, and become part of a large community again.

But you have to understand history to know that.

He's a former minister who graduated college in Bible studies. As unpalatable it might be to you, his views are perfectly in line with a strong christian believer from the midwest. So I don't really see a need to bring that up when we're discussing his technical videos. It's not like he lectures you about abortion at the end of a raspberry pi video...

I disagree. Someone with these views on humanity should not have a platform. They should be shamed and shunned. They should not be an "influencer" (however minor).

Look, I grew up in a cult too (the Baptist flavor). I also grew out of it mostly unscathed. He's a grown-ass man that still believes these truly heinous things. He has not grown as person. Or addressed his ignorance. And he's never retracted or apologized for his hateful views.

Which... it's his right. He can be an asshole. But people should be informed and, like I said, he should be shunned and shamed.
