Interesting that they want to increase print publications. Apparently their shortage of funds around 2014 is now well and truly over and they are in the black.

It is difficult to follow, because it’s so stupid, but his argument really is as stupid as it appears. He really is claiming that there is a difference between going to Thailand AND using prostitutes, and going to Thailand TO visit prostitutes, and that anyone who confuses those two completely different things is displaying racism. He first tried to fly that harebrained idea on Andrew Gold’s podcast, and was met with complete incomprehension, but he seems determined to stick with it.
Meanwhile his patron number has reached a new low of 453. 🎉

It’s probably good to remember how small a participant LE is now even in his own arena of YouTube. One month ago various YouTubers responded to Stephen Lett’s comments on babies being “little enemies of God”. As far as I can make out these are the most popular response videos in descending order.

I may have missed some but even in the niche of xJW YouTubers he’s a very small player. What he has managed to do is convince patrons to send him money every month especially since the start of the pandemic. That’s what’s keeping him going, not the quality or popularity of his videos.

He’s the biggest advert for Watchtower’s stereotype of an immoral apostate they have ever had. They must be loving it. Maybe it’s them boosting his Patreon. (I notice he dropped a few more today thought)

He probably wouldn’t have picked on the litterer if it was a well built guy his own size. As with his online bullying – he avoids accusing Dr Sohom Das and Andrew Gold of libel even though they called him a psychopath and a cult leader on their platforms. He prefers what he (mistakenly) regards as weaker targets - smaller xJW channels.

Yes a real man, who sought to do good, ultimately quite unpopular in his own country despite his best efforts. Lots of good interviews on YouTube showing a man of intelligence good intent. He and Reagan agreed between them that nuclear war could not be won and must never be fought. I’ve heard him say (after the collapse) that he supported the ideals of the February revolution but not the November revolution. I think the November revolution could have worked, were it not for outside interference from Britain and other capitalist nations at the crucial point.

Good points Las Malv and BettyHumpter
I wonder if the people complaining that this thread has persisted too long are also over on LE’s social media pages complaining about him persisting with his claim to stand up for abused people despite everything we know about his own behaviour. Or is it only psychopathic narcissists who deserve a break?

or knowledge of other sources that are in agreement with wt?

Rome, I think, is the main one (built on seven hills, among other things)

Psychopaths always point to others as worse than themselves. Reminds me of Ian Brady claiming Tony Blair was worse than him as if that somehow excused his own crimes. It’s mind bending logic.

Hess tried to broker a peace deal. I personally don’t think he should have spent his whole life in jail. He probably tried to do some good. The others obviously deserved their fate, or if anything, got off lightly, as in the case of Speer.
