The problem for me is that it's difficult to trust anyone part of the media or famous pre-covid. they have a lot more work to do to prove themselves. But this guy i'll admit seems to be on the right track. I'm not at the point to trust him yet though, i'm still trying to 100% verify.
We need all walks of life to wake up all walks of life. There are people more likely to listen to him because of who he was. He is a character for sure.
yeah it could go either way. I watch his vids and listen and think... is this a former brainwashed libtard just doing his best towards some self awakening because he actually achieved some clear thinking about reality through personal therapies in recent years?
Or does he have a "role" to play?
Either way, he is worth paying attention to on occasion and doesn't mind dialoguing with a variety of folks that don't necessarily share his misinformed dogmas. I will always respect that.
Youre on the right track it seems.
What I like is he doesnt pass judgement. He attempts to ask questions and encourages his audience to do the same, or at least to be a little open minded.
I'm wary of people who throw everything in to the "everyone is either a white hat, a normie, or a black hat" bag. And by white / black hats, I mean those who have some sort of esoteric information that allows them to work as operatives under the surface.
My view leans strongly to the former of your postulations: "is this a former brainwashed libtard...". Perhaps that's because I know that world he came from, and I know how personal transformation works. I know how the people of that world think, as I grew up in that environment, and yet, at a very early age, I took the other path.
He strikes me as a sincere human attempting to be self-realizing, grappling with his own foibles as honestly as possible, but realizing that there is craziness going on in the world designed to hoodwink, deceive, and hurt ... us.
That's true, but if George Soros or Klaus Schwab started coming out saying "Transgender is a mental illness, and we need more hetrosexual marriages" it's not going to make me think they are good guys right away.
Motivation is paramount. If they came out and said "I was evil, and I repent of everything I've done, and I will do whatever I can to make amends" and then acted in concert with that by relinquishing all power, influence and perks, and then just abandoning wealth and going into some place to serve the people there as a normal human, then I'd give them a pass.
But here is the thing. Although Karma gets talked about a lot, the fact is, in the Western Christian world, we haven't really had a very clear or detailed theory around karma-like spiritual realities. It's mostly always been all or nothing. (You get to go to heaven or you get to go to hell.)
But the reality is, in my view, that our actions directly results in a spiritual inertia, generates either a toxic or a health-inducing form of energy that both affects the development (or degradation) of our spiritual capacity but ALSO ties us more closely to either the source of good - God or the source of evil - Satan.
It's like moving in one direction or the other. So just because you turn around and repent, it doesn't mean that the spiritual baggage you have generated is liquidated in a second. you still have to burn it off. If you had close bonds to evil, it will take a lot of work to disintegrate those connections.
Note that I'm not discounting or naysaying the power of redemption through Christ. Yes, we are forgiven of our sins when we accept Christ, but.... how free are we of the impacts of how we have lived? Accepting Christ removes the legal hold that Satan had over our spirits, but in many, many cases, we still need to work hard to extricate ourselves from our own concepts, feelings and behaviors that were part of the bonds that tied us to evil.
In other words, I'm saying even if Soros and Schwab actually repented, well, they'd still have a lot of evil residue they'd have to work off. Still, I don't really see that happening very soon... ;P
I've got a long experience with evil people. It takes years before they can be trusted if ever. The most common thing is they say something right but do something else.
You don't HAVE to trust him. When he's saying the right things, paying attention to the right things, and TALKING about the right things, send people his way. When he's not, don't.
Why do people get so wrapped up with "trusting" this person or that person? To me this is always a sign that they haven't quite understood that true trust means a) trusting in God through a relationship with God and b) learning to trust yourself - to be trustworthy yourself.
If you feel like (or know that) you are not trustworthy - because of all the faults you either consciously or unconsciously recognize or imagine in yourself - you cannot really trust God, nor can you truly trust any other person.
Remember: Jesus doesn't trust us because we are trustworthy. He trusts us because HE is trustworthy.
When you truly know who you are and have a relationship of trust with God, you can give trust to others, not because you think you can rely on them, but because you have the inner strength to focus on the good in others instead of the flaws.
People seem to put "trust" in the basket of : I can project my responsibility to evaluate, or choose, or decide, on that person, (so that I no longer have to carry it). The part in brackets they think subconsciously.

Isn't it better to constantly verify and re-verify instead of deciding to put your trust in any one source? That's been my experience anyways.
Amen.
Stay awake. Pay attention. Adjust perspective as events unfold.
Works in marksmanship and artillery too.
I agree. Keep questioning.

I like the way you think.

We all have a role to play
