It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

    I regularly view Rossman content, but I guess I don’t really know anything about him politically.

    From a quick search, it looks like he’s willing to talk about tech issues with just about anyone of whatever leaning (like Sam Seider), but I could just be ignorant on this subject.

    Is there a place where he typically shares his political opnions? Might even be his own channel, but perhaps the YouTube algorithm has me only watching his “neutral” stuff.

      I’ve followed Louis Rossmann for more than 5 years and despite his channel has gone completely into opposing politics in wide themes, I haven’t got anything else out of his political views than that he is a democrat despite he opposes Biden and deBlasio in general.

      For me, as a very anti-political follower and hater of every politician and party, I really admire how Louis has ability to oppose and point out the problematic themes in omnious way and always unrelated to party, which I find very rare in the US.

      It leaks out a bit if you watch enough of his videos. I don’t get the sense that he’s right-wing in a MAGA ultra-bigot way, he’s just very very libertarian. Loose gun laws, low-taxes, government stay outta my life kinda guy.

      Not the kind of politics I subscribe to, but I don’t consider him to be a bad person for it.

        Do you have a citation on Rossman supporting Trump?

        I can’t say I’ve heard him express any political opinions outside of the fairly narrow lanes of right-to-repair and regulatory abuse.
