    Really ? he is a Trump supporter ? I know him only from his videos, but that seems out of character for someone versed in the sciences and reasoning. Can you provide a source ? I don’t want to support him with views anymore if that’s true

      This. I’d be super surprised because he’s an intellectual who likes to understand the hows and whys of things. I really enjoy his content (especially his helicopter series). If he’s maga then I’ll definitely not watch another.

      I don’t know what flubba86@lemmy.world is talking about, but the whole premise of this video seems quite trumpian.

        The video linked here ? I watched it yesterday, not at all. It’s about manufacturing in the USA. He makes great points that are valid for any service-based economy such as most of western Europe (where I am from). Watch it, it’s good

          The premise that countries need to be self reliant and manufacture things locally seems like trump rhetoric to me. But yeah I don’t imagine he’d be a big supporter of Trump more generally with all the cuts to science research Trump is doing. And I didn’t bother watching much further into the video once I realized he was shilling his own product.

        How is bringing back foreign manufacturing a MAGA thing?

        This is essentially the whole selfhosting community doing the same thing with cloud services. And I wouldnt in my dreams vote for our country equivalent of the republicans.
