Anybody else feel like the tone of his videos has changed? I used to recommend NJB videos to family and friends, but now I feel like his videos would alienate them more than win them over.
Definitely a bitter, almost aggressive tone to this one. It also comes off as a “fuck you, I got mine” kind of messages to say “North American infrastructure sucks, which is why I emigrated to the Netherlands”, because it’s not as if emigration is an option for most people in the US or Canada since it’s expensive and most people don’t have a viable path to a resident visa.
That being said, nothing he said was wrong, but sharing this video is probably not going to help anyone change their view.
This has for the most part has always been his message, he left because he tried advocacy and it didn’t help. That’s why he would point people on his sub who couldn’t move to advocacy groups like Strong Towns, as he claimed he wasn’t an advocate himself since he had no patience for it or hope anything would substantially change in his lifetime in Canada and the US.
Yeah, the problem is his beloved Amsterdam got better based on incremental changed done by advocates, so I don’t really blame him while at the same time it’s not the right answer, imo. We should all be demanding change.
