    How is that a response to what I wrote? It literally has nothing to do with what I wrote 🤦

      Responding to this part:

      Rossmann doing damage control for shitty stuff Eron Wolf did.

      I disagree that it’s “damage control”, or that Rossmann is an authoritarian or techno-feudalist apologist.

        I never said the latter and how else would you describe him regularly doing YT videos partially walking back or trying to justify shitty things Eron Wolf has said or done?

          The 2nd part is indeed what DeVault is claiming, to be clear.

          “Regularly doing videos” is too strong; this video and 1 other are the only I’ve personally seen talking about Wolf. This one’s in the comments section. The other one he did address, in video, Wolf’s financial sourcing just before he moved from New York, I believe. Please post more if you know of anymore, but to me, it reads like you’re grasping at anything to find reasons to justify your enmity towards Rossmann.

          If you disagree, of course, that’s fine. If you just don’t like Rossmann, sure. We can leave it at that. But I don’t think he’s an “apologist” or “fascist adjacent”, as DeVault describes him.

            He also did several videos around licensing of FUTO that were very clearly damage control.

            I don’t think Rossmann is a fascist himself, but he clearly got in bed with people that are fascist adjacent and is struggling to clearly distance himself from that, which is not exactly a good look for him and allows others to continue to misuse his relatively good reputation.

                  I watched the whole thing.

                  Perhaps in my adult addled old age, my comprehension and cognitive abilities have drastically diminished.

                  Which part is the part where Rossmann is “guilty” of what you and others who share your opinion are accusing him of?

                    Eh? I guess you have some strawman in mind of what Rossmann is being accused of. All I am saying is that he is constantly doing PR damage control for Eron Wolf, and that video is a clear example of that. It is not realistic to believe the shitty license happened accidentially… Eron Wolf intentionally wanted it to be like that and only had to walk it back when there was a massive community backlash.
