    No specific scandals I don’t think. To a large extent it is vibes-based.

    This video does a good job of explaining the underlying problems that give some of us those vibes. I think most people on Reddit don’t like him because of the general larrikinism and “look at me” attitude. Personally I never liked that, but more importantly I never liked his shit political takes. He heads (or headed?) up a Facebook group called “the Common Sense Brigade”. They’re a bunch of anti-Greens trolls. And Jordies himself has gone on anti-Greens tirades before, showing a very clear pro-establishment bias and fundamental lack of understanding of our political system, wherein he claims support for the Greens is helping the LNP get into power.

    I like the work he did calling out Bruz and the gambling lobby. But when it comes to the problems with Labor and institutional power, he drops the ball (or rather: he carries the ball precisely where the status quo wants it to be).

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I’m extra curious to watch that video later
