Louis always leaves me confused. He gives a strong libertarian vibe but equally I seem to find myself in agreement with most of what he says, certainly on board with his crusade.
He’s got that typical Libertarian thing where he hates regulation and anything that might interfere with his business. And yet, he doesn’t realize his core complaint (hardware manufacturers making their gear impossible to repair) can only be solved with government regulation of those businesses.
Who else heard “gargle my balls” upon seeing that pic of Louis Rossman?
For those not familiar, check out his YT channel, his work with futo.org (https://wiki.futo.org/index.php/Introduction_to_a_Self_Managed_Life:_a_13_hour_%26_28_minute_presentation_by_FUTO_software), and his Consumer Action Taskforce wiki (https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/Main_Page). Here is a person with an electronics repair business trying his hardest to make sure nobody ever needs his services.

I’m very similar, he has a good message, but the way he comes off is a complete turn off to me. Can’t stand the guy.

He does realize it and is fighting for a government regulation for right to repair.
