To this day he still refuses to draw the obvious conclusions his own work points to. He'll explain that it's capitalism, that rich ppl own everything, that our governments are collaborators with fossil fuel corporations, that they're dismantling our civil rights to protect fossil fuels/capitalism, that they're hardening boarders and arming security forces - and then sigh wistfully while refusing to say "and we should topple these ppl before they kill us."
He IS you without the self-deception.
