Cates has an ego bigger than most of us, it's not based on anything realistic. He's a legend in his own mind. One thing I can't stand is arrogance or a lack of humbleness or humility. He has zero of either.
I go to QuodVerum to read the Cates brothers and Wictor, but always take their posts with a grain of salt. The brothers (especially Brian) have over-inflated egos, and Wictor is a clear Israel apologist. They have all been doing some good analysis for several years now, but there's always something just a bit off with the hard lines they set. It's gotten worse lately.
Also to your point -- Saul Montes-Bradley is a complete raving nutjob.
Wictor did post this a couple days ago though:
Devolution is not a conspiracy theory because it doesn't involve illegal actions.
If Saul bans you for talking about it, I'll leave the platform.
I appreciate how much research the Cates's and Wictor do...along with others like Rex and Dar ul Harb (who's been a long-time comment poster on Instapundit) and others. But the arrogance that some of them have in their thinking they have it all nailed down is perplexing. None of us REALLY know all of what is going on behind the scenes. We have to keep an open mind and pay attention to facts on the ground. Sometimes those change, and our analyses have to change with them. And we have to keep perspective. It's one reason I struggle sometimes with reading Sundance on CTH...the insights are excellent but he is just so damn pessimistic about it all.
But yeah...SMB. That guy is like nails on a chalkboard. The "gatekeepers" on the Right are almost as bad as the ones on the Left.
I start to wonder if the incomprehensible UI of QuodVerum is somehow responsible for these people, who I've followed for several years, becoming increasingly dick-like. Mind virus or something...
I read QV because it's where Wictor is, but I've never warmed to Saul, and the brother Cates have become increasingly argumentative rather than informative since the inauguration. Less "Here's some interesting insight" and more "Look who I found who sucks!"
Agree the UI is truly awful. I read once somewhere that the even more awful 4chan UI was done purposely that way to weed out anyone who wasn't "austist" enough to contribute in a meaningful way. I don't think this is that though.
Funniest thing is though, even though you can't say trust the plan, they believe that trump is still in power via devolution. Living on a nuclear sub off the coast of Florida? I actually think Wictors theories are plausible... But no matter what, DO NOT TRUST THE PLAN.
cates v Lin and candace v Kimberly all so exhausting but apparently necessary for swamp drainage even on our side. Let the chips fall and pray for discernment. God Bless America
I think Lin goes over the top at times. I don't know Cates all that well - I did watch a podcast where he had Waldron and Ramsland on which was very good, so his ability to get important guests is commendable. I was a bit annoyed that he would jump in and cut them off. I think his speech impediment and whatever disability he has may be at play. I don't detect a sinister motive though as with many of these media personalities, they are very much focused on their own 'brand'.
What?? You are insane, have you read Lin’s argument? He perfectly explains the situation. I have not heard Lin speak a lie in the past year. So I know he is truthful and Cates is a liar.
"He's a liar" vs "Kyle (a high school student) was left in Jail for three months to assist with fundraising and now Kyle's family is not able to see what has happened with all the money.
You be the judge.
The discussion isn't over yet, but so far only one side seems to have a real argument.
How do you know Wood has not told a lie? Because he said so?
No kidding. Does this “show” ever get good?
Yeah I trust Lin Wood about as much as Brian Cates

Brian Cates’ hard-on for Rod Rosenstein is all you need to know about the kind of person he is.
Cates catches onto something and won’t let go. Always broadcasting unverifiable info. I think Lin Wood is probably right.

Yeah, also, vax good or banhammer.

Theatre. Not even good theatre.

I think going over the top is part of Lin's role and similarly with Mike Lindell as it seems that is what gets more attention from the normies.
Well they can't both be right.
So far I'd say Cates has the better argument. We'll have to see where this goes.

Yes... and conspicuously absent from a LAWYER'S comments were the words, I am suing you for defamation.
Hmmm.
