Well, it’s Mental Outlaw. He’s a contender for one of the most paranoid tech YouTubers out there.
“Tech youtuber”? this guy just regurgitates whatever is already trending and then adds in his own right wing idiocracy. He’s “tech’s” reaction video guy.
A person who uploads videos discussing technology to YouTube is a tech YouTuber, notwithstanding the originality of those videos.
But its great that people like this exist imo. The average person might not need it but if someone does actually have a real reason for this level of security then its nice to have sources or at least entrypoints into the topic.
Yeah I like his videos though
he has good linux videos, he seemed kinda right wing tho
Idk I didn’t see much right wing stuff in his videos but he’s a big fan of freedom 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
He never hided it, his video are kinda great tho
If you are paranoid it doesn’t mean you are not spied on.
“Check out my gun! By the way I use Arch.”
Wait, is that a real gun? That looked like a toy to my non-American eyes
That’s just a sand colored SIG, very real gun.
Edit: Accidentally thought it was a Glock at first, my bad.
If you were an American cop, you would’ve unloaded over a 100 rounds on this guy’s back.
unloaded over 100 rounds on this guy’s back if he’s not white
FTFY
Mental Outlaw isn’t white, sooo…
Yes, that’s a gun. Maybe its time for you to brush up on guns.
Thats not needed knowledge in many areas of the world. Police is still shooting people in Germany,
That’s not really knowledge I need day to day, lol
Average Mental Outlaw video
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American
I mean it’s MentalOutlaw
Oh I remember that guy, I watched like 2 videos and then removed them from my watch history hoping that YouTube wouldn’t recommend him again lol
If you have a YouTube watch history you are doing it wrong from a privacy and freedom perspective.
For real I keep that off 🤣
Or don’t use YouTube. There are plenty of third party clients
I exclusively use NewPipe on my phone, and it works well (although it seems comments broke recently, but I’m sure it’ll be fixed in due course), but I try to use Piped on PC and I find that it is significantly slower, most videos I have to play at 720p or lower, and it usually takes 20+ seconds to initially load. Being in Australia probably doesn’t help
Is there any other alternatives that I should consider?
On my phone I use Libretube and for desktop I use Invidious.
The thing with Libretube is you have to flip though instances to get it to work.

That is the most cartoony/toy looking handgun I’ve seen in a good while
don’t let the US military know that you don’t like desert camos. they’ll get real mad
That’s the M-18
This reminds me of that copy pasta about having an old printer and a gun in case it does something unexpected; can’t remember the exact words though.

There is no software solution that protects from a crowbar, you have to go to the hardware side.
Intellect is undoubtably a good thing,
But a lot of things are solved with your solid body
hey uh, open source guns when?
we already have them. It’s not hard to make a firearm, and the 3d printed weapons scene has taken off quite well. all of the good ones still need metal parts ofc, but they are pretty easy to get your hands on in many cases.
It’s not hard to make a firearm, but it’s pretty hard to make a good one. I could maybe make something about ten times worse than that thing that one Aussie kid made during WWI in his garage.
You’d be surprised.
Are the metal parts gun specific or multipurpose?
specific parts. you need metal to withstand the pressures of the actual bullet to get a somewhat degree of reliability, so any pressure bearing part needs to be metal, everything else can be plastic, but the more metal the better. Now you can get some more basic designs with parts that you could fabricate at home, but a lot of the higher end designs require off the shelf gun parts.
The “leading design” right now is the FGC-9 which is actually seeing a degree of use in myanmar(??). The design requires metal parts that could be feasible to fabricate at home. However it is shockingly easy, even in heavily restricted countries, to be able to order the metal parts.
You can watch videos of people shooting them, many seem to work quite well.
They are nowhere near as reliable as a properly manufactured gun but they are still pretty solid for plastic and a bit of metal
It really depends on the design and how much of it somebody is committed to 3D printing. If somebody wants to 3D print the bare minimum for legal purposes and use a parts kit for the rest, there’s a number of designs that seem identical in function to something factory made.
I wish he didn’t ramble as much as he does. Most of his videos could be a quarter of the length.
He’s kind of like that crazy prepper/survivalist uncle who lives in the ass end of nowhere, has a homemade fallout shelter stocked to the ceiling with canned chicken and peach, sleeps with a combat knife under his pillow, and rants about the government and agencies whenever he gets the chance. The family still keeps him around because he sometimes does something useful.
Luke Smith, on the other hand, is already out in the desert building a shrine to Old Man Atom.
Luke Smith would be the second least paranoid Arch user
this is why I always laugh when people use biometrics. best case scenario, they use whatever it’s locked behind with you under duress. Worst case? they take whatever.
The random person the receptionist let into the main office is not likely to chop my finger off to access my phone or computer. I don’t use biometrics because I don’t want Samsung and Microsoft having my fingerprints for their eventual reconstruction of humanity into Tleilaxu gholas in service to the shareholders.
Coward is the word you’re looking for, not paranoid
I know you’re just trolling or whatever, but I’d love to have some reasonable answer to what a non-cowardly response is supposed to be if there is some armed person trying to hurt me or my family. The police response time where I live is 30-45 minutes. I don’t want to shoot someone, I hope I never have to, but if it’s either me or them? Well that’s what makes having guns practical.
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary” —-Karl Marx
Citing some random dead person, wow
Karl Marx isn’t really random, he is the godfather of communism. Now I am not a full blown communist by any means but Karl Marx was a really smart dude who correctly saw and anticipated the negative effects of capitalism. It’s ok to disagree, I respect that completely but I’d ask we keep it civil.
Ha ha I see how your worker’s rights ended up even with guns, you fucking coward 😂
Normally I would just let it slide, but I’m bored so why not have some discourse :)
-
I do not own fire arms personally due to mental health issues. I do carry pepper spray and have a taser readily available. Worst case scenario a bow I use for hunting.
-
There are legitimate uses for fire arms full stop. Protection against bodily threats, hunting, tyrannical government, etc.
-
I support universal background checks and “common sense gun regulation”. It is a dangerous tool, but it is still just a tool. I’d love to see mandatory fire arm safety training before attempting to buy a gun.
-
Workers rights are bogged down because of hierarchical systems designed towards uplifting the few and the expense of the many.
Why should the government have exclusive use of violence? In any case, the eventual goal (for me personally and people like me) is peace and liberty. Until that happens the working class must have access to fire arms. The people who should not own guns are those with mental health issues, and access should be limited to trained/responsible individuals.
(Sorry not trying to be a dick just some info)
Drop that taser, they’re worthless. The ones the cops use are only effective 60% of the time, and those are the shooty bois with the barbs that aren’t legal for civilians in every state (some states OK). The ones most people have that are only effective at contact distance anyway are basically just annoying, it’s impossible to get intramuscular incapacitation with them afaik, as that requires appropriate prong spread that is only a thing with the shooty bois (if you’re the right distance away to get the spread, and the guy doesn’t have a heavy coat which half the time will catch the barbs.) Frankly running, OC, or if the threat is deadly a hammer, would all be better than the taser unless you’re fighting a lot of naked wet dudes maybe lol.
The OC spray is great however, get the highest % you legally can in your area and preferably stream over gel. They do go bad, check the dates on it, if no date replace at least every ~2y. I use Pom OC myself, but there’s many others.
A gun is not a tool you need. It is just needed because you expect others to also have it.
Against random robberies, pepperspray, tasers or sirens are better.
If “the woman at night on the walk home” has a gun, “the robber” has one too. Nothing won.
If it is circulating, you cannot prevent the wrong people from getting them.
I see how not only the police having guns is nice. But this means they shoot way quicker. See the rate of deaths by police in germany, its always below 30.
I get what your saying completely. I don’t disagree per se actually (my brain tells me we just have lived in a crazy time for the past couple hundred years, guns are super prolific.). I would love if the police disarmed as well.
-
Huh?
Gun owners/cowards. Same thing. Look it up in the thesaurus
There’s a very large overlap, but I can’t blame any minorities wanting to arm themselves in the current political climate. Arm queer people!
Lmao if someone comes at me with a gun I’m just gonna square up with them? It’s not cowardly to want to arm yourself in case your life at risk.
Protecting your self is important not to mention shooting guns is fun.
Lol for protection you should have like… public healthcare and stuff
Also true
“Hello Mr. Deadly Attacker, you’re going to kill me with that knife? Well watch out because I’m going to defend myself with this universal healthcare!”
Stab stab
“Oh no! It seems that concepts, lacking physical properties of any kind, are inadequate defenses against a knife which contains actual matter! At least my family won’t be charged by the coroner if that counts as ‘healthcare,’ so that works out I guess!”
An attacker in a society where everyone has guns, will have a gun. And you cant protect yourself against a gun, with a gun. Thats the point.
If you want to protect people, you should build systems that protect people, not give everyone a murder weapon.
Here, some numbers.
See, that’s where you’re wrong. Not only does rely on an assumption that is flat out untrue, as people do get robbed and killed in America with other weapons all the time, but contrary to your claim guns can indeed be effective against guns, as cops, self defenders, and even gang members often prove.
I’m not going to bother going into the specifics on if you have a subsecond draw blah blah blah because let’s be honest you don’t really care, but again it has been demonstrated time and time again that guns are in fact an effective weapon against guns.
To my other point, of the four robberies that I’ve (or in one case a roommate) been victim of, only one was at gunpoint. One was just strong arm, two was my roommate got stabbed and then robbed, three was a home invasion (this was the one with guns), four was at knifepoint (unsuccessfully, because after #3 I picked up, you guessed it, a fucking gun.) #4 decided to walk away instead of stab me for some odd reason that “surely wasn’t me drawing my gun,” so I consider it a success.
Crazy. We for sure live in very different areas.
Shooting guns is meh. I still prefer shooting just airsoft guns
I like both, airsoft does happen to be a whole lot cheaper though
And I don’t need ear protection
try to not go deaf by 40 after suppressor bans challenge [impossible]
Hell yeah he’s the least. What is that, a 7 round mag? What a joke.
I believe that the gun he has is the sig Sauer p320 m18 or m17 which both have either 17 or 21 round magazines.
You guys are seeing something I’m not. Both that barrel length and the mag look way smaller to be what you guys are claiming. I’ve got a FN 509 that’s close what you guys are describing and it’s much bigger than that (although the angle of the pic could just be messing with my eyes)
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sig+m18&t=fpas&ia=web
Must be the angle, it’s clearly a sig with the 15rnd mag and manual safety. They do also come with a 21 rounder, but this is the 15.
Looks like the [320-M18] model, which comes default with a [15] round flush magazine. Then again we can’t see the bottom in the picture and nothing is stopping him from putting an extended magazine in.
I think you’re right it’s an 18 not 17, you can see the mag clearly in the actual video and it’s the flush mag.
