I don’t see why it is an endorsement at all. ‘Better than other conservative commentators’ is not a high bar (if you have a suggestion for someone better, I’m all ears). (edit: removed ‘necessarily’, seemed unnecessary)
Also also would have said similar things about Atrioc and Destiny and Dev (tho i don’t consider any of them conservative).
One thing that separates them is that Asmon is very good at farming, which is another mixed trait.
