Well, it’s Mental Outlaw. He’s a contender for one of the most paranoid tech YouTubers out there.

But its great that people like this exist imo. The average person might not need it but if someone does actually have a real reason for this level of security then its nice to have sources or at least entrypoints into the topic.

If you are paranoid it doesn’t mean you are not spied on.

That’s true. But paranoid people often mistake how much of a shit others give about being spied upon

“Tech youtuber”? this guy just regurgitates whatever is already trending and then adds in his own right wing idiocracy. He’s “tech’s” reaction video guy.

A person who uploads videos discussing technology to YouTube is a tech YouTuber, notwithstanding the originality of those videos.

That’s just a sand colored SIG, very real gun.

Edit: Accidentally thought it was a Glock at first, my bad.

If you were an American cop, you would’ve unloaded over a 100 rounds on this guy’s back.

The fact that it looks like something from a 90s Judge Dredd comic and is a funny plasticcy colour. I would have totally gone for it when I was 9 though.

This reminds me of that copy pasta about having an old printer and a gun in case it does something unexpected; can’t remember the exact words though.

I wish he didn’t ramble as much as he does. Most of his videos could be a quarter of the length.

He’s kind of like that crazy prepper/survivalist uncle who lives in the ass end of nowhere, has a homemade fallout shelter stocked to the ceiling with canned chicken and peach, sleeps with a combat knife under his pillow, and rants about the government and agencies whenever he gets the chance. The family still keeps him around because he sometimes does something useful.

Luke Smith, on the other hand, is already out in the desert building a shrine to Old Man Atom.
