For someone is as strong in the reddit brainworms as him this is a surprisingly good stance.
He's genuinely a good lib. You can see he cares and that he has good principles in there, he just lacks basically any history or political development.
You'd be able to talk him around over the course of maybe one or two dinners and drinks if you were a friend of his.
Yeah, like he is a stemlord, he had to be deeply submerged in hitlerite particles. To come out as clean as he did is quite the anomaly
Ok, TC guy aside, I genuinely hate Stemlord types. I will personally build a Liberal Arts Gulag to put anyone who's ever made the "Civil Engineers build targets" joke, or complained that they had to take a writing course for their undergrad degree.
He's friends with Hank Green and his cohort of smug condescending libs. Maybe if he spent more time with Brennan Lee mulligan he'd be less of one.
Oh god, Hank Green is insufferable and his politics even more so.
Fuck him for his knitting video especially though. Sciencebros just love to shit on "women's" work, ignorant to the marvel of technological development that requires all sorts of innovation and scientific progress (not least of all maths) to do some silly little lady's crafting - just like scrapbooking! Certainly nothing that has to do with big, important, science-y man's work (/s obviously)
Guess which type of work has not only been central to all of human existence, even prior to the advent of civilization, but also was absolutely fundamental to the early age of computers and space exploration? Textile work.
Nobody ever breathe a word denigrating textile work around me, least of all a sciencebro "public educator", because the first goddamned computer was a loom, the US used bra manufacturers to hand make space suits, and those magnetic core memory modules had to be hand woven by skilled women labourers. If you think that textile work is just some cute little hobby for ladies then go home and throw out every last thing that required fabric or computers at any point in its production, not to mention all your clothes and bedding and anything computerized.
Yeeeesss, Hank Green is an insidious liberal. I have no hope for him. You have a link to his knitting video?
They pulled it from YouTube. I can't find an archived version from a cursory search but you might have more luck than me. Here's the original URL to the removed video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTLvD6-X8WQ
There's a really good in-depth autopsy of that disaster of a video here that does the art justice and you'll be able to piece together what Hank Green said in the original but it's a (deservedly) long response.
Hank Green issued some half-assed apology afterwards and shifted blame without actually addressing much. I watched a bit of it when the scandal hit but I don't recall watching the whole thing through, it just seemed like PR damage control slop and I find the Green brothers to be insufferably smug so I probably got 30 seconds in before I couldn't bare listening to the bullshit anymore.
Edit: I probably should have said fiber work and not textile work in the above comment but the skills and techniques and developments, especially in the earlier part of technological development, were the same and eventually they diverged. You get what I'm saying though.
