Opinion of jaichind

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

His moral repugnancy drowns out a lot of the value he may otherwise contribute. Firm HP vote unless and until he disavows nihilism, quits stanning for dictators, and expresses a serious change of heart about... investing in child brothels. But then he wouldn't be jaichind.

This. I still maintain that his Holocaust revisionism called for way more than a short-term mute. Obviously so did the child prostitution remark, but the forum was a very different place back then.

I saw the post in question and he indeed wasn't saying he favored the Axis. He was saying he thought Both Sides Had a Point. That's not much better.

Seems to be fond of tyrants.

If you have a hypertrophied concept of private property rights where they're uniquely unrestricted in a way that no other set of rights is, it makes sense to support state power as a sort of universal Pinkerton to keep the plebs in their place. If you furthermore have the (exceptionally common) problem of confusing or reversing general principles and specific applications of those principles, it furthermore makes sense to support state power as such, and to have a fondness for leaders who use that power to brutalize other groups besides the poors. This is how we get supposed libertarians who in practice support authoritarian governments by default, of whom jaichind is the foremost.
