I mean, it's a guy who has earrings. Are you really surprised that he is liberal?
I was actually rather impressed with Linus that when talking about politics, when someone was surprised that in Arizona, Democrats opposed a law helping consumers vs. Apple and supported it, Linus said (paraphrased) that politicians will do whatever will get them into office.
That was impressive insight. That is way beyond what the average normie thinks.
He almost strikes me as a Canadian who just hasn't figured out his country is going to pot yet. He is polite, tolerant, and doesn't seem to have it out for anyone. And I don't know where they are in Canada, but it doesn't seem like a total shithole. So it's kind of like he's hung up on Canadian socialism that may have worked at one point. Now that they're being invaded, it doesn't work.
It seems like the guy banked a lot of positive social credit with online geek community over the years, including with a lot of people here, and he still hasn't burnt it all away yet with his Twitter behavior. So people want to give him the benefit of the doubt and not believe he's the insane brainwashed liberal that he is.
Yeah he was really bad on twitter with some really authoritarian and malicious takes. He has said on a video that he has taken a step back from social media as it brought out the worst in him... but it was a mask off moment.

Linus was pro vaccine mandate and anti freedom convoy, he was pretty nasty about it on Twitter.

Yeah somebody else had to point the Twitter thing out to me. I've never seen any Linus tweets.
Oh, never seen him on Twitter. People do tend to be nasty there. The algo and everything encourages it. It's one reason I don't go there much.
