Interesting though somewhat dated interview with rabid right wing Youtuber, Paul Jospeh Watson.

Hadnt heard of him before but he seems to have garnered quite a following on the basis of offending other people's sensibilities on the pretext of free speech. Has links with Alec Jones and Prison Planet.
Here' a sample of his Youtubes which I bumped into

Any comments?
He's awful. He's anti-BLM, anti-Muslim, pro-Trump and believes in "Cultural Marxism"-conspiracy theories (among other BS). Here's a pretty good anarchist reply to a video of his about how great Capitalism is:Anarchist Commentaries Episode 6: Paul Joseph Watson and the Dunning-Kruger Effect – YouTube

Thats a very good and entertaining demolition job on our Mr Watson who is defintely no assocate of our Mr Holmes. (Actually, the terms "plank" and "thick" spring to mind here). This video should be made compulsory viewing for all those little free market bigots out there and boy oh boy are there lots of them, Several anarchist forums Ive been on seem to have been overrun by the Ancap crowd spouting their usual nonsense just like Watson
It is indeed a very good debunking video. Very informative. One to embrace in future when the libertarian right appear on the net. BTW never heard of this Paul Joseph Watson until Robbo mentioned him. DJP, we need to address ALL our critics, even the obnoxious ones.

Even the obnoxious critics like Watson, arrogant little buffoon though he may be, need to be addressed. The kind of illogical incoherent and blatantly false arguments Watson comes out with, I have seen reproduced thousands of times on multiple forums – more or less the same predictable old memes being pumped out on an industrial scale. We should not underestimate their cumulative and toxic effect If the SP does ever get round to stepping up the output of pamphlets here's a candidate for the subject of a new pamphlet – the Ideological Right (you could complement that with a pamphlet on the Left too). That young Libertarian socialist guy in the video who did such an excellent job at destroying Watson's whole case , has provided the kernel of an approach that could be built upon
I have been battling with these nutters also. I managed to use the phrase ultra crepidarianism (thanks to Countdown) to describe some of their utterances.https://mises.org/wire/bolshevik-great-experiment-100-years-later
Good to see you in there Robin socking it to the Von Miseans..You put it much better than I can, but I won't stop.
