@Miro_Collas so open-source it Nissan. Or we'll get Louis Rossman's Fulu to put a bounty on it.

@marcoxa @thedarktangent @pluralistic Pretty much, but now the broligarchs are trying to force it on everyone. They really don't like taking "no" for an answer.

Indeed, that one thing—categorical unwillingness to respect others' refusal of consent—is the defining characteristic in common to every one of them. Despite how some viewers understandably took offence, Louis Rossmann characterized the you'll-own-nothing CEOs' mentality exactly correctly.

No wonder they bought the US government for the rapist-in-chief.

Another channel where I'd love to see you appear, if you can, is Louis Rossmann's. Louis is a very active advocate for #RightToRepair and #RightToOwn, a likewise active opponent of #surveillanceCapitalism and #enshittification, and a strangely effective herder of tech-culture cats. He founded the Consumer Rights Wiki [1], and lobbies and organizes political campaigns which get gamers and PC builders out to city halls and state legislatures. His YouTube channel has 2.47 million subscribers, similarly active to the GamersNexus viewers, and the Consumer Right's Wiki editors may soon give the venerable @molly0xfff a run for her (figurative) Wikipedian money.

He's also covered the Bloomberg #DMCA abuse against GN [2], and volunteers to fund legal battles against such corporate #censorship. There's likely a large part of the combined audiences of GamersNexus and of Rossmann's channel which do not overlap demographically (or, for a significant portion, politically) with typical audiences of the venues where I've seen or heard of you (@pluralistic) presenting the book so far, yet those audiences are certain to be amenable to your message, so talking with those audiences could help both the sales and the mission of the book.

@leftylabourtech @wbftw @renatarocha @pluralistic The only political candidate in anglo Canada I’ve heard raise a related issue (#RightToRepair) is Bonnie Critchley. Although the Battle River–Crowfoot outcome was a foregone conclusion, because Pierre re-ran in the most singlemindedly partisan-tribalistic federal riding in the country—so he wouldn’t have to take “no” for an answer—Bonnie’s R2R message resonated with the portion of voters there who think enough before voting that they wouldn’t elect a rock of it were painted blue. There are a lot of orange/blue ridings in rural Canada, and a lot of gamers, technicians, mechanics, farmers, and so on who could be led to the orange side with a pragmatic, informed, and authentic message.

For example, if you want to make headway with the voters who follow the likes of “penguinz0” (on YouTube), #AviLewis (and why hasn’t your team created an account for you here yet, btw), start by watching the GamersNexus GPU smuggling documentary and the follow-up videos about the Bloomberg DMCA abuse. Share those. Then watch a bunch of Louis Rossmann advocacy videos, contribute to the Consumer Rights Wiki, and join the Consumer Rights Discord: but do NOT make like Jagmeet, when he was riding AOC’s coattails, cargo culting her Among Us fundraiser (for Texas freeze victims) without bothering to learn the game before showing up on a livestream with her and pro gaming streamers to an audience of millions who’d already raised > $100,000/h. Don’t present with a “How do you do, fellow kids” like that, but rather, respect your audience by knowing before you speak or act, or by watching, asking questions, listening, and reflecting when your host knows better.

Play your cards right, Avi, and you might be able to appear with Cory or Lina on GN or on Louis’ show, talking about R2R, #RightToOwn, monopolies and oligopolies, and the power they wield against us due to their abuse of market dominance. Defy all PR training about talking points, but be sure to give good faith answers to every question asked of you. Don’t bother mentioning the party unless asked—the Canadian viewers will figure it out—but shows like Steve’s (GN), and similar high-integrity journalism about other topics such as cars, medical devices, tools, and so on, can be your version of Mark Carney appearing on American comedy talk shows. A lot of Canadians watch those, and they’re currently not entirely enamoured with the entitled-snobbish Liberals or DARVO-whinging Conservatives.

Btw, Cory, you could probably get some favourable coverage of your latest book on Steve’s and Louis’ shows. It’s right up both audiences’ allies.
