I listened to that podcast, it was fucking insufferable. I knew nothing about its creator then but something about the way he presented it - his choice of words maybe, or the vibe of one of those fucking prepper assholes he gave off - I just couldn’t stand it. There seemed to be almost a glee in his foretelling of societal breakdown, and one or two of what I interpreted as almost anti-leftist remarks woven in. He also had a bunch of doomer fanboys on some left-ish subreddits (especially /r/collapse) who would fellate him any time social disorder was brought up.
Anyway I got a pretty clear libertarian/anarchist vibe from his podcast and these tweets have driven it home.
Correct, its this guy:
Mmmm, isn’t that the guy who did It Could Happen Here?
yep, it is.

I never listened to it, but a lot of anarchists are obsessed with it, go figure.
