If he's still showing up at events and stuff, he's not seen in the content so eh? gently caress, I'm really not trying to come off as a fanboy but I also don't go to live events cause I'm on the total opposite side of the country.

That would be a pretty decent explanation for why he left the channel. Not like anyone watching Cleetus actually cares now with LS George and Sam being entertaining additions.

Is that one of the guys working on Binky? How old is that photo, because it looks almost nothing like him IDK how much it matters because it's a smallish auto repair channel, but South Main Auto is pretty chudded up. I mean it's pretty clear he rolls conservative, what with some 2A decorations around the shop and a very strong trad vibe (talking about teaching his kids they have to work in that particular way where you know he has a lot of opinions about anyone who thinks there should be a social safety net or things in that arena). Then one day he signal boosted another channel that had merch that said "make freedom legal" and at least one video talking about how CRT is communism and destroying America, so I had to nope out at that point. A shame, because he's a fantastic technician and amazing to watch at work.

That's a shame, I really liked his repair videos because he showed the reality of working on old rust-damaged cars. I could tell he was conservative but there's conservative in ways that I can put up with even as a massive leftie and there's conservative in ways that threaten/invalidate people's existence, and that channel he signal boosted is the latter. Like the way he talked about working is similar to how my dad does and my dad is a union electrician fully in favor of strong safety nets, just with an unhealthily strong Protestant work ethic instilled by his upbringing. I can respect that even if I don't necessarily agree with it in the context of working yourself to the bone for other people that aren't going to reward you for it.

Yeah exact same. I mean there's nothing wrong with being able to defend yourself or having a strong work ethic, although that certainly gets that dog whistle overtone pretty quick. I ignored all of that until you get into how acknowledging that America is built on some hosed up concepts is actually racism against me, a white male.

And FWIW the car is essentially done. just little niggles and stuff like that. They've taken it to shows and the like. SMA - is also something I enjoy, as noted for the really in depth diagnostic/troubleshooting he brings up. Rural/upstate NY, so obvious conservative tones, but I haven't picked up on anything overtly chuddy - Hadn't noted that signal boosting previously. I think he tends to keep things apolitical otherwise? Damnit... I don't watch a ton, but is it better unsubing here too?

As the saying goes "if you go far enough left, you get your guns back". Agree with the 2A or not, but be aware that there are lots of progressives who are into firearms. Black women and LGBTQIA folks have been buying lots of guns the past few years, for obvious reasons. Come on over to TFR and see. The SMA guy can get bent. Ok Comboomer posted:oh also I forgot to include that InfoWars is pretty dingdang antisemitic and regularly peddles (((globalist))) and great replacement talking points, serving as a crucial on-ramp for men and boys to get sucked into explicit nazism, so like you really have to be careful and mindful when extending benefit of the doubt to people advertising their fandom/involvement in the community/support of the company

No outright Nazi poo poo so far, but that Tweet about Rittenhouse is kind of heartbreaking given how good Project Binky has been.

Wow, I'm really glad someone made this thread. Thanks OP. It's important to know the background of the various personalities and brands that come together to weave the beautiful tapestry that is our hobby - burning petrolium byproducts for fun. (EV Megathread folx - you're good, you can leave now!! #musk #elon #lmfao) It's like, one hundred degrees Fahrenheit in my apartment right now which seems unusual but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'm really more sad that Richard Brunning of Project Binky is apparently an idiot I can't believe it, and I'm unsubscribing from his channel which is praxis. This is very disturbing, because based on his extensive documented history of riding bicycles and participating in local LGBTQ+ xeriscaped low-water community gardens I thought he was different. Sigh. I guess completely insane automotive builds that utilize a shitton of raw materials for no other reason than the builder's OCD and youtube revenue are actually bad, because *checks notes* uhhh noted shitgoblin Kyle Rittenhouse. Richard Brunning Status: CHUD OK, thankfully we're beyond that. Excellent work y'all, I appreciate you. Definitely will never watch his channel again after this project is completed because what the actual gently caress. While we're on the subject of assholes in the automotive industry, I feel that there are a few others who have flown under the radar for too long becuase of decorum and systemic racism. We'll start with the obvious option, Mercedes-Benz: For fucks sake, do I need to say more? Mercedes has never issued an apology for their involvement in the greatest mass murder of all time but if they did, I would still not purchase one of their vehicles. Mostly because I can't afford one but also because gently caress. them. (those blackout headlight covers are sick though ) There's also documentation that they used MercBenz panzer/tank engines to pump carbon monoxide (CO) into the gas chambers which if true then holy poo poo?? why are they still allowed to sell cars what the actual gently caress?? Mercedes Benz status: CHUD Next, and since we're here, I feel like we need to move across the oceans to Every Japanese Car Company Who Was Around Circa 1940-1974 ( the last soldier to surrender ). I'm not completely sure of their individual involvement in the war efforts, but it's not my job to educate you and it's pretty obvious that Mitsubishi Zeros killed a lot of American GIs due to cowardly suicide attacks and I'm pretty sure Toyota was involved at some time or another. They probably made lovely little Jeep ripoffs that could easily be defeated with a Thompson SMG or a pineapple grenade because the entire chassis was made out of hanzo bullshit folded steel. Oh, and they also were complicit in Unit 731 which is a horrifying look into the devaluation of human life commonly seen in, oh, *checks notes* the entirety of the alt-right playbook. Japanese Manufacturers Status: CHUD While googling and lolling I found this photo of Imperial Japanese Emporer Hirohito in a Rolls-Royce, which really speaks for itself (I'm not sure what brand the motorcycles are, but I'm guessing they might be Harley - Davidson... not sure if they are involved in any problematic activity?? [placeholder]): Rolls-Royce status: CHUD If you thought these images were horrifying, I have some great news - there's more, and they were distributed around our fuckworld nation en masse as recently as a few years ago. Hell... there's people on this dead gay forum who still maintain and drive vehicles built by these misogynists today: AMC Status: CHUD (any Gremlin drivers on this forum are showing their whole rear end; much like this chick) Honda Status: CHUD FIAT Status: CHUD I can't even. Time to take a break from the internet, but after I immediately come back I will do a deep-dive on 1960s American muscle car advertising and how it relates to the Supreme Court decisions and Nik Blackhurst's usage of the phrase "tea kettle". (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I think this county went 70% trump in the last election. I think thats more the thing with the welkers in particular too- Montana, god bothering, republicans. They were going to have the trump/pence flag up just because they were the next ones up for the poo poo show. Their dad probably had the bush/regan etc (i know SFA bout american republican presidents apart from them being generally bad) propaganda up too. I can respect them for the same thing too- they dont try to force their political views on the audience either, and are willing to actually discuss politics regarding how they impact farming- not to the extent that Zac Johnson does, but he's also made it his channels goal to educate about farming, including how the political side of things- trade wars, subsidies, market manipulation and the like plays into the process of people getting food and products from farm to consumer.
