You need to provide more for this to be taken seriously.
At the very minimum, give the readers a chance to understand the context of the question: https://hachyderm.io/@dalias/115418530488528338
I’ve read through this post. Some keypoints.
- FUTO donated to projects without using those’s project institutional sponsor guideline.
- Most of the projects didn’t know that they were sponsored by FUTO, but FUTO still showcased them as members in their grant program unathorized
- They harassed and spread misinformation about GrapheneOS, because linking their project with this shady donation is unathorized(which GrapheneOS pointed out)
- FUTO’s founder (not Louis) has an associate, named Yarvin who supports slavery, thinks black people inherently have lower IQ due to genetics, didn’t seem to be weirded out when JD Vance called him a “reactionary fascist”
- Louis made a “debate” with Yarvin where he yapped about his interesting beliefs. Louis only went really against his beliefs in the comment section, so maybe he was forced to make this interview?
The article was made by Drew Devault. Apparently he had some drama before, but the article seemed legit to me ngl.

I don’t think you are asking the right question. It doesn’t matter what Louis Rosman thinks, the right question is “Is he ok with lending his face to open facist” and the answer seems to be yes.
Personally I apply the nazi bar rule, if a bar is ok with nazi it’s a nazi bar, regardless of the owners values.
I’m gonna say probably not, but you have to question someone who willfully associates themselves with fascists who are provably close to figures like Vance.
Finally Louis became popular enough that it’s profitable to hate on him out of rage baiting.
