    I would argue that interpretation is incorrect. The times I’ve seen him been strongly anti-government, it’s mostly been against regulations that are very clearly designed around supporting corporate interests over that of citizens and abuse of the legal system to that effect.

    His diatribes are nauseating and I can’t stand to listen to him, definitely. but that has nothing to do with his viewpoints, which I generally seem to support

      He spent the better part of a half decade whining about NYC regulations around stolen property that he was not in compliance with, ultimately to pick up stakes and move to Texas to become more solidly focused on his role as influencer. Now I think they’ve changed but, they very very much had their roots in a more anti-regulatory sentiment, at least when they were actively running their repair shop in NYC. They would constantly go on rants about how bad NYC was and how it was all the “governments” fault.
