Ordinary Things with some pretty reactionary takes and strange praise for Milei

Anybody else watch this channel? There's some good videos but I often get very liberal/ancap vibes from this dude. His section on Milei is really fucking weird. He craps harder on climate protesters than Milei. He seems like a Louis Rossman or Johnny Harris type youtuber that's only coincidentally aligned with leftists. Tell me I'm not crazy here.

Also he like, shits on Hasanabi in his section on israel/gaza which is on its own some hard core radical centrist garbage. Am I crazy for seeing this dude as pretty reactionary/liberal?

This is offtopic but while I suspected Louis Rossman was a conservative when he moved to Florida, it was more a hunch from my side. Did he say or do something recently?
- No it's just random bad takes and mask off moments. Hard to remember cuz when I see that shit I usually can't be bothered to finish watching. he seems kinda elizabeth warren if she were a little more to the right lol
Never heard of him but by that description of his opinions I can't imagine I'd like it
- Which is strange, because he's put out a lot of fundamentally anti-capitalist (or at least reformist) stuff without calling it that explicitly.
He collabs with Internet Historian a bit, and that sphere is a bit to very alt-right. For example, see hbomberguys video on Plagiarism, the part on internet historian. But I've seen very few of his videos.
- Oh yeah never seen IH's stuff but he seems like a real fucker
  
  Personally, I will treat content creators differently even if they create similar content, based on their history. Reputation is something that can be earned or broken over time. IH wasn't just a reactionary, he also never acknowledged or apologized for it. I'm all for rehabilitation, but even the most lenient leftist will look for some evidence that someone's changed. In this case, it just looks like he went covert and turned to looking more respectable.
  Charlie, on the other hand, has gone out of his way not to misgender Ezra Miller when commenting on that controversy, so I'm definitely willing to extend him more grace regarding... Well, I don't know whatever he's thought of being reactionary for this time.
