When I watch certain of his Youtube clips, etc… some things bug me off. What do you think of it?

    Whatever political stance he may hold, or whether he is conscious about it, he is an entrypoint.

    His content is uncritical dogpile reactions and no-fact-checks perpetuating drama. Combined with zero effort community weeding.

    While theoretically neutral, such hate cesspools are the culture that fuels the alt-right.

      Oh look. Another “if you’re not directly supporting my goals, you’re the political opposition” person.

      A vote not for x is a vote for y, amirite?

        That’s literally how the alt right works. Spot the right environment where things can gradually escalate from a comment or a private message.

          As a Louis Rossmann fan I don’t generally like the slippery slope fallacy, but goddamn are you worried about some nothing. You seriously think dudes watching him do his gamer sleaze bits are gonna be all “yeah I think I’ll be a right winger now.”?

        It’s called plausible deniability and regardless of the intent there is a direct effect.

        You can be mad about it all you’d like, it won’t change the reality.

          Nah, they all bad. It’s just a bunch of talking heads trying to get into the money club and none of them are gonna help my life any.
