It baffles me that there are people on this planet, that see a man that does not shower for weeks and literally uses a putrified rat corpse's stench as an alarm clock, and say "yeah, this seems like a good person to get my political commentary from"
I all fairness just because someone is gross doesn't mean that what they say or know is wrong. The dude who landed on a comet wore an ahego hentai hoodie to the interview you can make the same base argument for him "it baffles me that there are people on this planet that sees a man so degenerate he's wearing a porn hoodie and go yeah that's the man I want as a poster boy for the scientific community" because there WERE people using that argument. Case in point, you didn't say he was wrong just that he's yucky.
Don't forget a room tour he did in the early 2010s, he had lots of soda cups from restaurants, some with plenty of soda left in them, one moldy, and one was the newest that he took a sip from, it's safe to say he may have drank one of the old ones.
So he told the story of how he had a dead rat in his house and when the sun would hit it through the window in the morning, it would start to heat the corpse up and the smell would wake him up. The thing is, it is debatable whether it's a real thing. He is certainly gross enough to have something like that happen, but he has also been known to embellish things a little bit.
What does Asmongold do: he plays video games, he used to be good and doesn't even need to be anymore, and he rakes in millions of dollars doing so. Now his life is literally whatever he wants and he's not controlled by women and making decisions because of his dick.
What do most men want? A life where they can be rich playing video games, not worry about having a job, and not being stressed by women.
He might be living in filth, but he's still living the dream that the majority of 15-30 year old men want to live. His foundations are very appealing if you don't judge a book by it's character and assume that the withered looking man is homeless and uneducated.
All existence is purposeless, but he has a life long safety net, never has to worry about financial emergencies, supports anyone he needs to or wants to, and can do whatever he wants with his existence. He's owned multiple orgs and had socializing because of that, but he's not a fan so he doesn't spend his time trying to be more social than he needs to. Him choosing how he wants to spend his time shouldn't be a problem.
It’s kind of unrealistic though. Most people do day jobs because the likelihood of being a streamer is infinitesimally small. IMO people should set their sights on other ventures.
Okay cool, but the average person isn't logical and forward thinking, which is why so many companies get free money out of people who overspend. A lot of life is unrealistic, and the delusional people who never give up are the ones who often make it. Being logical and reasonable is exactly how you stay inside your box, and if you're comfy great, but many people aren't, and dreaming about a rich life is more fun than dreaming about an average life.
Source: me, mid 20s, that's exactly the kind of life I want to have 😭 Ok I don't want to live with dead rats and allat, but if you tell me I no longer have to impress anyone and keep up a "civilized" social appearance you bet your ass I am growing my hair out caveman style.
People think I'm condoning his degeneracy but I think most people would agree, if you could never need a job, and never need to worry about others opinions, life would be great, and asmon has that.
Which is why you're based and is probably a cool dude 👍 People think making a point = agreeing with literally every single thing that a person does/represents.
Remember this is the same dude who useda dead rat as his alaramd admits not takint showers for weeks thinking its normal. Anyone who agrees with him regarded beyond redemption.
I used to enjoy asmon a lot but now a days it's just really crazy to see him go down the rabbit hole he is in and also if he reads this he will be in denial about it
I think the same. I also find he got much more boring because trump is so boring if you mass watch him. Trump literally repeats himself endlessly. Its like hes on an election campaign still.
I tend to almost always agree with asmon, but the right wing rabbit hole is obvious now. He only watches right wing news sources that are lying and biased. He does detect a lot of BS, but he lets some through. If he watches left wing news sources its always idiots like the view of hasan simping for terrorists.
One thing i do notice is that he jokes a lot. Sometimes it feels like hes 100% on board and then he goes "all memes aside this is fucking stupid of trump".
Yeah that’s actually what he said in this video. He was ironically cheering it on til about half way through the video when he said “how did I predict this was going to happen? Well I just imagine the dumbest most narcissistic self centered thing imaginable and that’s what’s gonna happen. Works every time.” Meanwhile most of his chat was unironically cheering it on
He's fully aware, he's milking the political content as it scores millions of views on YouTube daily and it's literally an edit of his 20-30k viewers streams that took probably 7 mins to make.
Dude makes bread and it works, sucks for the quality of the content but it is what it is
Most likely he doesnt. I am very fucking sure that he is doing it because he finds it fun (I think he said so himself).
Imagine. You can basically do whatever you want, play whatever you want, say whatever you feel like it. Assuming he hasnt spend all his cash (I really doubt), he doesnt care about sponsors. Hell... Even if by some miracle all his income would get cut off, I am sure he still would create content.
Most likely he isnt viewing it as a work (like normal people). Just pleasant hobby where he gets paid.
Yup. He literally said this last night on a video that “alright guys enough with the memes. This does set a bad precedent and is clearly not what the writers of the amendment wanted. I think this would be bad. But this is good because it’s funny and it provides me with minimum 4 youtube videos a day worth of content. So for that reason, I’m a fan of it.”
-How a fucking patetic man, Like I know that Im not in the right situation right now, but that is just clear ignorance, because I know when I have mistakes, and I have made a lot of mistakes honestly.
*Reads a comment from chat*
Yeahj, Yes, chat is really right about that, is just people that wants to make an interpretation about me by just watching clips from tik tok or something.... Yaj, Yaj.
The level of delusion in this comment section insane. You can click any of his videos and there are people constantly disagreeing with what he's saying. Especially when the topic is serious. He also gives genuine answers to these people.
Reddit is literally the website where everyone that doesn't hold a liberal opinion got banned. This comment section is a prime example. Every comment is a copy paste. This is happening after 8+ years of constant persecution and weeding out of conservative and moderate opinions.
Literally every sane person knows that politics on Reddit are discussed in an echo-chamber.
To be fair, most people I've seen him ban were either commenting in extremely bad faith, radicals or straight up expressing support for nazis. I don't think think banning these is much of a loss to the conversation, and not banning the latter two could even get him in trouble with Twitch.
yeah, I got into his stuff pretty late in the game, maybe 6 months before the election and it was all fairly politically neutral and centrist. Then like the day Trump gets in office everything is hard right Fox News bullshit. Dude just completely fell down the rabbit hole and was swallowed whole by it in the span of like a week.
Hurr durr heow dare he doesn't agree completely with what my king says I knew I hated him he's a loser anyways and I knew deep down every single thing he said ever was stuuubid
people who watched youtubers' content every day before they shared their opinions
Why would anyone listen to this guys opinion in the first place? He’s just gross.
Like in no way would I ever trust any life advice or opinions from a guy who is notoriously smelly according to other content creators. Who’s house is/was infested with cockroaches and littered with rotting food. Who became a multi-millionaire by playing WOW and has lost all real perspective of the struggles the average american endures.
He’s a pretentious hillbilly living in squalor, believing his self righteous cause for white guy representation in media will “eliminate the woke mind virus” or some bullshit.
Why would anyone listen to this guys opinion in the first place?
The self-righteous anger right-wing chuds feel is literally addictive. The daily two minute hate about woke / DEI / whatever the new dogwhistle for the n-word is a huge seratonin boost for angry losers.
Well put. An unabashed addiction to ones own personal mental illness has led us to where we are. Though I do advocate for the collapse of society, should it happen to limp along I hope that a philosophical movement toward mental wellness and mindfulness might heal some of this cultural head wound.
He used a dead rat as a alarm clock (the heat of the sun would roast the dead rat leading it to smell like the Devils asshole and he would use that to know when to get out of bed)
Yeah, but my point is this: Asmon knows full well that his lifestyle is garbage. Quote:
"None of you guys want to live the way I do. My lifestyle is pure degeneracy."
I want to hear "Asmon is wrong because he has these specific opinions", not "Asmon is wrong because he's dirty". The latter doesn't logically follow.
The other problem is that it's possible to simultaneously be 100% correct on one topic, and dead wrong on another. I heavily disagree with most of Asmon's takes on politics, but am neutral to positive on his takes about gaming.
Its funny how people make lolcow videos on that other smaller "streamer" with glasses who just like leaves cups and bowls in his room, and it just pales into comparison to Amsongold who can't even drink water without chasing it with chik fil a soda. I genuinely wouldn't doubt that there's more than just cockroaches in his house.
That "i won't vote for anything that puts me at a disadvantage" is still so crazy, how tf are you gonna complain about that when you're a millionare for sitting on your ass in filth all day?
Chasing the soda with water was obviously a joke, hate the guy all you want for all the other reasons I don't care, but you look like a clown pretending to be this stupid just to squeeze the last drop of insignificant criticism towards the guy.
This is coming from a guy perma banned from his chat BTW.
They are on a greentext sub acting like they somehow are above listening to an asmon video. Like fucking 4chan is somehow not a cesspool of degenerate shit lol
Cause he was talking about laws that would benefit others and not him, the millionaire, it's basically a "When You’re Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression" type of thing.
He once made a vid reacting to a video he made 10 years ago and in that video he mentions that raccoons live in his house and Asmon just says "nothing has changed" so yeah
I don't think he firmly believes what he says, he's just good at saying what his audience wants to hear. It has gotten to the point where whenever he occasionally disagrees with his chat on a minor thing, he has to bring it up in the next 5 minutes to make a point of not always agreeing with the masses.
I feel a bit weird answering your question, but I'll have a go. I'm English (so politics don't really become a thing) and I'm fine watching him on YouTube, There's none of that shouting that a lot of Youtubers do, or talking at the speed of light, no jump cuts, and loud sounds from out of nowhere. The ones I've seen are him watching something topical, chatting about it with the people in his twitch chat. So to me, it's like sitting in with a bunch of people, shooting the breeze as the Yanks say (I think).
I'm old enough to not be swayed by any gobshites on the internet, so to me, it's just interesting hearing other peoples opinion. There is stuff he says that I disagree with of course, but it's just not too much of an issue when your mates or even family can say the same (if not worse) bollocks.
As for the state of his house, you would be surprised just how many people (even people you like) live in shitholes because the 'filth' is not a problem for them, and seeing as I will never have to visit him, not on my list of places to avoid.
"according to other content creators" who, he literally had emiru say he smelled like dust and no one else has said he smells bad. I'm not trying to be an Asmon simp but you can't italicize words for emphasis when they're the least true words of the post.
It used to seem like his personal experience with poverty informed his politics, and he had empathy for poor people and the oppressed, he was even pro sex work and socially progressive. That's either gone now, or forced out to please the anti woke slop consoomers.
Depends what the advice is, hell Asmon himself advises against his own lifestyle and says no one should do it… I assume you’d follow or agree with that advice?
I don’t particularly care who says something, i care if they words themselves have merit.
He's probably a sperg, or at least lives the life of one given his rough childhood. You watch him for spergy takes on things where he's at least kind of knowledgeable. IDK why people have clinger onto him for politics or anything more serious than gamergate lol.
he's literally the only content creator right now who has the balls to say the quiet part out loud.
if he's not the only one who does that then list them here because i like listening to people who take the perspective of both sides before making an opinion.
lol this is exactly the type of stuff i always see when someone hates him. it's all about the physical appearance, not a single counter argument to prove him wrong that isn't strawman.
What a shitty take. Just because the dude didn't struggle in the past 10 years, it doesn't mean that he didn't struggle prior to that. The world didn't change that much in the span of a decade for him to become out of touch.
Isn't that a bit of an ironic statement? They didn't vote for someone who was detached to what regular people want that they voted for someone detached from what regular people want but also a known criminal?
One side was talking about concerns regular people had, the other was talking about why race/gender based privileges are a good thing. I wonder what an average person would vote for 🤔
I mean, they were also talking about literally taking over the US and pushing their own wants and desires. But everyone overlooked it because 'he'll make egg prices cheaper'. First thing he did in office was tell regular jackoffs to stop bitching about egg prices. Almost like he didnt have a history of literally telling people to STFU about things he doesnt care about.
That's the thing, Trump is a terrible candidate, he won people over by promising to do absolute minimum that people wanted to be addressed, it's an embbaressing that democrats lost to someone like this, it should be a wake up call for the whole party.
I still argue that they dems lost because they put a woman up there. Never mind also a woman of color.
America is still a very racist and misogynistic place. If they would had put ANY white guy, even biden, they would have won hands down. But for some reason they keep wanting to push 'the first female president' shtick. And id argue its more the woman aspect than the race aspect, as Obama won hands down both times. Because hes a dude.
There was absolutely no way Biden could've won after that debate, replacing him was the right call. But I feel like even if Kamala was a white guy she still would've lost, she just wasn't a strong candidate and didn't have much time to make an impression during her campaign.
Trump talked about race and gender nonsense 100x more than Kamala did. She rarely spoke on it, not even to defend herself against his stupid black vs indian comments he made for weeks.
It's true, Kamala didn't talk about this much during her campaign (right call tbh), but people in her party around her just couldn't stop talking about this, in fact, they still keep talking about this.
Jesus Christ man, if you only got your news from far right grifters, then yeah you would assume the only policy the Left has is about gender and race based privileges. But if you got your news from actual sources, you would know that sort of thing barely came up. Did you even look at Kamala's policies or did you just take what grifters said at face value? I would say I feel bad for you because your life is about to get 10,000 times worse, but you did vote for this.
One side was talking about concerns regular people had, the other was talking about why race/gender based privileges are a good thing
You're genuinely watching right-wing cancerslop if you think this is the case. Their policy points on their site, their interviews, rarely if they even talked about it in the first place.
Your comment doesn't even make sense. Saying someone "barks like a little Chihuahua" is saying that someone is a figuratively small person, but acts like a big tough guy. It has nothing to do with someone's physical body. What is going on with your reading comprehension?
I also personally am not so high and mighty about adhering to political correctness 100% of the time. I try not to punch down in general, but I will make an exception for shitty people.
If I remember correctly he once admitted that at one point he hadn't brushed his teeth in so long that his gums literally started bleeding. He would just wipe the blood off his gums onto a specific spot on a wall. It's a good thing he can afford to replace his teeth if he ever needs to because those bad boys are probably eroding as we speak
That event was like 10 years ago. I'm not saying he's clean but in far more recent history he's admitted he started brushing his teeth every day, so he's not the same dude he was when the wall blood happened.
He used to have half decent takes, even at times shutting down his ignorant viewers by explaining to them that some situations are more nuanced and shouldn't be viewed in a black and white rage situation. Now that's just gone as he's shifted towards more reaction based content.
It seems odd to make that claim on a green text sub lol I watch him from time to time cause he is funny. I dont have to agree with everything he says or does politically. He is a streamer. Its just entertainment
You enjoy watching a mentally diseased incel waddling around in shit and cockroaches, only waking up in the morning by the stench of a long deceased rat corpse heating up in the morning sun and feel reminded of your own miserable existence, seeing that people just as deranged as you can make it on the slop side of the net
He at one point spoke about things other than politics and wokeness. I didn't even like all his gaming takes, the majority of them were awful but he was at least entertaining. I've not watched any of his politics videos, the titles and thumbnails I see alone reek of carrying water for whatever the current government does. Whatever entertainment value might remain doesn't outweigh that.
HEY! Just became he can’t buy or even rent proper tools while spitting nonsense or clean his place doesn’t make him illegitimate to listen to!
Massive /s lol look at the headphones xD and him and how he lives.. blegh.. add in the drop into, let’s say more madness, it’s a cocktail for cockroaches, both human and animal lol
I liked having Asmon as second-screen content when he would babble on about WoW, Diablo, or PoE. But now Josh Strife Hayes has been promoted to second-screen duties.
While I still love his videos, the one on dragon age origins sadly rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed like such a departure in quality from his usual content, that I'm worried other games may have been reviewed equally as sloppy, but I never noticed as I'm not familiar enough with those. I really hope he addresses some of the issues whenever he comes around to playing the dlc, and does better with those.
are you talking about this video? I did enjoy the few "was it good?" videos I've watched and now you have me worried haha. especially since it's dragon age origins
Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. If you've played DAO before, you'll almost immediately notice that Josh didn't care? To play the game, to really get to know it. He skipped most, if not all, companion quests, didn't recruit all companions and half of the ones he did get either died or left him. He repeadetly complained about the difficulty of the game and feeling like he had to cheese every encounter, but never once took a step back and thought if it could be his build and party composition that might be at fault. It felt like a disingenious review, if that video was the only thing I ever saw about Dragon Age Origins, I would never have played the game, and gotten into a gaming series I now love. Josh himself has said that players need to give games a chance, to put energy into a game, not simply passively consume it. So that you can develop more than a surface level connection to a game. I can't speak for other games he reviewed, but he did not give Dragon Age a fair chance.
aww man that's a shame, allistair and morrigan were like the best companions since liara and garrus, and out of all streamers I'd think josh would be the last to half ass the companion interactions.
well, guess I have a two hour video to watch, thanks for your input
If you just discovered him I would highly recommend you watch his “Otherworld” series which is in the “worst mmo ever” series. Was a great story from start to finish about a game basically no one ever played
Yeah I liked listening to his videos, then he reviewed Dino Crisis 2 and recognized it for the peak gaming experience it is, which finally sold me on him.
I just discovered JSH about a month ago and 100% agree with you. I never watched Asmon u til a few years ago I woudk get a chuckle out of a few things. And like you said he was decent background content. He is intelligent and often was able to make some decent points, but then I noticed he shifted from making observations to almost always trying to make a point, and his was based in ensuring that unwashed basement incels were the dominant creature on Earth. I can absolutely understand why some video games get silly with agendas, but I am pleased to see people represented and I play video games to escape reality. I just don't get how his deeply entrenched viewer base can consume so much of his content and never take a walk outside to see maybe, just maybe; there are millions of people living millions of different lives and they are all entitled to having joy in it (excluding based on hurting others ironically).
Asmon used to be somewhat decent, but then he streamed the amber heard trial and saw that he was getting more viewers than he ever had before and after that, he turned into an anti-woke grifter.
More of a grifter I think. Dudes a self admitted bag chaser, wouldn't surprise me if he didn't believe a lot of the shit he says and just does it for money. But idk, I haven't watched him in like 2 years
That's not the incel line, per se. There are a load of different pillers, but the manosphere reactionaries are only a section of it. Some pillers tend towards the more, liberal feminism, MRA types.
Especially the gem in form of the 3 day long one of the Morrowind playthrough. I think that's the longest video I've ever found on YT. Good luck finding where you left off, somwhere in the middle, when YT decides that it's a great moment to start from beggining.
Josh is my favorite content creator by a mile, I'm a bit sad that I already watched all of his videos and can't binge them anymore and have to wait for new ones to pop up
Insym is pretty good too if you can get through his youtuber ass intros.
He plays spooky games I would never find the time to play but love watching, and he's so fucking stupid when it comes to current events, I love him. Bro just plays his games and doesnt dabble on the real world at all, great turn your brain off content.
While on the topic of horror game YouTubers, I personally recommend ManlyBadassHero, plays a lot of extremely random indie horror games and has a very calm and relaxed commentary style.
Josh's videos intriguing, and he reviewed a lot of games I played and am still playing, one MMO he reviewed genuinely seemed good, and the devs responded to his criticisms.
He seems to be very fair and balanced with his opinions which others tend not too be.
It's confidence. The man is well aware of what his capabilities are and what has helped him in his life. And apart from Zach, doesn't talk shot about people, but discusses what has helped him feel better and do better. This is how people should talk, focus on their strengths, not others weaknesses.
Yeah after watching him for a while he just seemed narcissistic and high on himself. I liked his 'is it good?' series, but then I discovered his Twitch clips and he rubbed me the wrong way.
Which right winger isn't just slop culture war bullshit ? Outside of Shapiro or maybe Charlie Kirk occasionally supporting a bill that melts poor people for bio fuel, no right wing content creators ever talk actual policy , it's just culture war shit all day
Damn, if only the Democrats would actually support worker's rights policies they might be able to win a fucking election for once instead of trying to give money to gay activists in Guyana...AKA padding their pockets by saying they gave it to some fake organization.
Seriously, the Republicans are only winning because the Democrats suck so much as a party that they don't actually have any policy either besides weirdly fetishizing gay and trans people. Both parties just let corpos run wholesale over everyone because they're all bribed and in deep pockets. Nobody cares about the working class.
why do you think boston is so liberal? socially they’re as republican as can be, they hate gays, anyone of color, and transgender folk.
HOWEVER, boston is THE place for unions. insanely unionized city. unions are super liberal. very socialist style, and as such, the city votes democrat. unions ARE workers rights
but the dems started taking unpopular angles that gave them a massive target on their back. i’d argue most of america is pro or indifferent on LGB, but the T(and beyond) is still a big issue. illegal immigration is not popular on either side, but the dems still embrace it. there are a lot of issues that align like this for the dems
republicans are too disgusted to swing right and democrats hate their own party, so they don’t vote dem either.
I watched a few Aydin Paladin videos on my second monitor and based on my vague impressions they were right wing and high effort, lots of statistics and numbers and stuff I didn't pay attention to
I only know one thing about that weird little guy it's that he thinks any book written since 1960 is infested w woke feminism and not worth reading. Which is a hilarious take from a guy who's entire thing is making up history.
Also being wrong but we'll researched isn't a good thing, I suppose it's better than 99% of right wing grifters who are wrong and do zero research but not by much
Once again. All I pointed out was that he says things he doesnt mean. 90% of the things you listed arent even about his ability to stick to his word, and some of it lies (like sending his followers to attack he explicitly stated to be peacful). Its all just you hating on Trump.
To clarify, I said he says outrageous things that he doesnt mean, and you start screeching about things that are mostly not relevant to my comment.
Woooah swearing really emphasises your point there.
Anyways, you only listen when its suitable for you. Only when you can point to him and go ”he is a dictator” or whatever narrative you want about him. I bet you werent screaming from the rooftops that the US handled corona best when he was saying that the US had most vaccinations per capita.
When Trump says outrageous things, it’s not because he doesn’t mean them, he’s testing the waters to see what he can get away with.
Trump will try anything he can to remain in power just like he did with Jan 6th. I don’t know how you can remain so willfully ignorant at this point. He said he would pardon the Jan 6th violent insurrectionists, and he did.
The same thing is happening with the third term. It started off as a “joke” at his rallies, and now he’s saying he’s “not joking.” Then he’ll try to find a way to do it, and try to convince everyone that it’s not actually a big deal.
People like you hold him to no accountability whatsoever.
Damn its crazy that you can know everything about my beliefs because i point out that he says outrageous things that he doesnt mean. Can you read minds? Can you predict who winns the next game?
a third term is an inpossibility. it would require a constitutional amendment (the 22nd) to be undone, and the right doesn't have nearly enough votes for that, nor will they, considering Congress tends to swing against the president after the first 2 years.
It’s an “impossibility” for the Vice President to overturn the election results of the sitting President, doesn’t mean he didn’t literally try to do just that on January 6th because he thought he could stay in power that way. When Pence wouldn’t do it, he said he “didn’t have the courage.”
Now he’s pardoning his supporters for their part in Jan 6th.
Trump will try whatever lets him stay in power. If he thinks there’s a way to run for a third term, he will attempt it.
Yeah like he said he would nuke a tornado? People keep forgetting he is a businessman and will always say that he will do more than he actually will. ”a third term project is already in works for him” says nothing, specify.
Biden is obamas 3rd term, if you mean that vance would be his third term then its nothing new.
Yes, he says a lot of things that he doesnt mean, but that doesnt mean we shouldn't question at least some things he says.
For example, while nuking a tornado is obviously ridiculous, trying to circumvent a term limit in a democracy by a more authoritarian-learning leader is something that has happened before in history, for example in Russia.
And I think he has something other in mind than Obamas "3rd" term, which is a questionable depiction since I would argue that Obama didn't have great political power in Bidens term, Biden just copied the democrats playbook from the last decade.
It is more likely that Trump will argue that he is entitled to a 3rd term, since his original 2nd term has been "stolen", or he might start a war and argue that he has to stay in office until things settled.
The reality of this possibility should be taken seriously, the MAGA movement isn't like any other movement in the last decades, we have seen that on the Capitol Riot.
okay so the ”plans in works” is a potential argument he might make because ”he just like putin”
If you think the capitol riot was bad, imagine the riot they had a year or two ago where he was forced to go into the presidential bunker. But that was conveniently forgotten. Just like how the floyd riots were forgotten even though they were more destructive and were forcing a political change more so than a few people touring through the white house where the only person to die was a middle aged female protestor.
Well then, let's just see if he will seriously attempt a 3rd in 3 years, shall we?
And yes, I think an attack on a symbol of American democracy brought by a businessman who couldn't take a loss is dangerous.
That doesnt mean that I think the George Floyd riots were good, and it is strange that you instantly mention them.
You dont have to be left or reddit-cringe-pilled to see Trumps actions and his plans for the future. He is far more aggressive than in his first term, and as someone who likes the democratic idea, it is worrisome.
Its not strange that I mention them, they were both attempts at political change. Odd that you didnt adress the white house riot at all. And saying ”okay well it might happen lets wait and see” is completely different from your first comment which was ”there are plans in the works”.
Its just so weird that i never see these people that like democracy when the other side does undemocratic things.
Quoting Asmon on this: “Dropping the memes and everything, he shouldn’t run for a third term, okay? If he does run for a third term, the ONLY reason I want that to happen is that it’s like a 3D printer that prints gold ../ literally endless content.”
Seems reasonable to me.
I honestly don't mind Asmongold. He's entertaining and has reasonable takes most of the time, but his takes on the deportation and third term stuff is really worrying. I do wonder if he's paid to shill conservative talking points, which sucks because it would be so nice to have a popular streamer who is an outspoken moderate and isn't subject to audience capture or partisan power.
People on Reddit would say that, because the Overton window in their niche is very left of centre. Any opinions to the right of them is right, not moderate. This makes literally no sense. I'm a perfect example of a left leaning person who has been pushed away by people who demand others have their crazy, extreme, radical political opinions.
If you were to interrogate it just a little bit, you'd find that most people you consider to be conservative are actually in favour of lots of socialist policies.
Loyal democrat voters are coping about democracy working the way it was intended. They are blind to their partisan hypocrisy and the lack of popularity of their platform
I'm a perfect example of a left leaning person
Like fuck are you
If you were to interrogate it just a little bit, you'd find that most people you consider to be conservative are actually in favour of lots of socialist policies.
You seem to be blissful unaware of the fact that this is because right wing voters are often hilariously unaware of the minutiae of what they're actually voting for
right wing voters are often hilariously unaware of the minutiae of what they're actually voting for
Most, including left wing voters are. The fact that so many people are willing to die on the hill of the argument, "my party is better than yours", as if it ultimately makes a difference, is pretty wild to me. It indicates to me a distinct lack of understanding of American history, how the government works and who's actually involved.
Yeah wake me up when anyone can claim that left wing voters secretly love large amounts of right wing policy otherwise you're just yapping
You can brush over it as much as you like but no-one intelligent enough to be worth listening to is going to forget the huge amounts of rank hypocrisy from republican supporters and influencers
Most policy in US politics is right wing tbf. To claim that the USA is liberal is kind of laughable.
rank hypocrisy from republican supporters and influencers
Let's not pretend that this hypocrisy resides all the way across the spectrum. My point is that the two party system is really not designed to work in the way that most people would expect. The people deserve a 3rd, 4th and 5th option, but the current structure wouldn't allow that.
Let's not pretend that this hypocrisy resides all the way across the spectrum.
Feel free to go into specifics
For example, the empty right wing threats that democratic supporters would turn violent if they lost the election even in spite of the Jan 2020 insurrection, or, indeed, the new administration pardoning many of those people despite the fact that they injured nearly 200 police officers.
What do you have that is equally despicable from modern dems?
Whatboutism arguments that are limited to the craziness of average people over the last 5 years is such a small sandbox to engage that it renders argument pointless.
Instead of arguing about which voting group is better or worse, or smarter or stupider (which is literally what the media coverage is designed to encourage) gets us nowhere. What is more important to me is the proposition that regardless of the event (J6 event, or BLM, or Tesla attacks, or Charlottesville etc.) the odds are that there's covert three letter agency agitators present.
I truly believe that my fellow human beings are generally good at heart, and are more often than not misguided by bad information or "nudge" programs. I may not trust many people, but certainly don't hate them for having their opinions on things.
BLM definitely had it's issues but comparing Charlottesville or J6 to them is fucking wild and vandalism of some Tesla dealerships doesn't even scratch the surface in comparison
Lol dude it’s like you aren’t even reading their responses. They are trying to actually have a conversation and explain their point of view where as you are just being an asshole for no reason
it's blatantly obvious which of the two parties provides more direct support to the majority of the population. anyone who ignores this is either too stupid or brainwashed via the culture war. they cannot be saved. it will take a collective realization within the circle jerk for people to break out to reality.
Except your stupidity and brainwashing is just as blatantly obvious to your opponents, as has always been the case for opposing parties since the dawn of time. You know what the solution is? Talking to each other to figure out the truth.
Except one side is filled with too many smarmy redditors to come to the table and communicate. Nazis shut down discussion because they are too afraid of what the other might say.
No point in what you are doing either and if anything, it will alienate them anymore. I honestly think you are taking your frustration with the right out on them
Redditors don't like to have actual conversations about politics because they're convinced the conversation isn't worth having based on their preconceived conclusions, which really aren't there's to begin with
Most people vote against their self interest in the end because there's a big moneyed elite club and very few people are in it. Doesn't matter if it's red or blue, they're all connected invested in the same stocks, funded by the same donors and connected to the same organised crime and three letter agency spooks.
People make dumb jokes to him and you don’t pipe up but then you tell him to stop? What about everyone else? Or do you only go after people you don’t agree with?
Did posting that feel good bro? Redditors are addicted to the dopamine hit of agreeing with the group to pile up on someone. You may deny this is a thing, but anyone who is honest with themselves knows it feels good to post those comments. That addiction is why theres no real debates in this site and you will never be able to change anyones opinions, quite the opposite, not like you care but its funny to see
The right is going off the deep end, I agree. The left has been doing so for at least 10 years already. I don't see this as a partisan issue. I see this as a social issue.
The left has been essentially asking for rights and protections of disenfranchised groups and you have grifters making it look like they "went off the deep end" by showing a minority of people on the cringe side online" lol
You can't compare the two in when it comes to going off the deep end. One side is legit dangerous with their views.
If you expect people to value you opinions and think you to be unbiased, you're best to show the same amount charity and scepticism toward all parties.
The claim that your group is somehow not subject to the same spread of statistical phenomenon even though all data exists in the same environment is just not believable to reasonable person.
Which people have been in career long tenured positions in their respective institutions for the last 30 years and which institutions are they? Name these positions of power, how long they've had those positions and what their politics are.
This has nothing to do with what I'm saying you and you know ot. You're purposely trying to change the argument and "test the knowledge" on the other because your view got called out. Common tactic, too.
You literally made a claim about crazy people in positions of power and I asked you to prove it. Just admit you can't be bothered backing up your claim lol
Oh, I didn't know talking about electing crazy politicians. I meant we had to talk about the tenure over the last 30 years. Wow. It's very enlightening.
Once again, you know what you're doing trying to shift the conversation.
No one stated it's only the latest. But your shift in argument is still once again obvious.
You're purposely trying to shift and put words in people's in mouths by using that shift so you can say stuff like, "This is a common take, and i think it's really weird and uninformed." When nobody made that take
Once again, i know what you're doing. I'm not playing your game. Have a good day, buddy. You are totally originally a left leaning person. Mhmm, totally.
The presidential race was within 2 percentage points, it's not like there's this massive amount of the population that is the status quo outside of the internet.
Someone saying they're a moderate/centrist but then supporting Republicans on every major policy point is just disingenuous.
The presidential race was within 2 percentage points
Which election and which metric? That's a very general statement that could mean anything.
moderate/centrist but then supporting Republicans on every major policy
There are some who do the same with Democrats as well, that's kind of the point. Nevertheless, I wouldn't attribute malice where I could attribute ignorance. It's not as if there's an abundance of choice and good information that's easily available. You might not like other people's political opinions, but the more aggressive you are about that, the worse that reflect on you, not anyone else.
fwiw i'm a non-american independent voter. On a longitudinal scale it would hardly matter if Trump lost. The American project is still subject to the same dynamics and faults and would still be tracking in the same direction. We shouldn't be aiming our vitriol at people whose powered is limited to one single vote every 4 years. We should be aiming it at the corrupt white collar individuals whose greed is destroying the commons.
Being a moderate doesn't mean you have a balanced combination of conservative and liberal ideas, it means you have no extremist views. If you are slightly left or slightly right on every issue, you're a moderate. If you wanna kill all minorities then establish a gay christian socialist utopia, you're not a moderate.
Dan Carlin is an actual independent who fairly assesses both sides. Asmongold is a conservative nut job claiming to be independent in bad faith. It’s pretty telling when he has little to no criticism of one side.
50-100 people doing the downy arrows on comments means absolutely nothing about whether I'm right or wrong. People take this stuff too seriously. I still think I'm right and if people aren't going to engage on merits of the argument then that reflects more on them than anything else.
When Asmon and I were kids, the takes he says these days WERE considered moderate. The political left in America is a train which is headed for a cliff and anyone who gets off that train is labeled "right-wing" or some nonsense merely for not being a radical.
Exactly. Most people don't know or don't remember that their Democrat representatives had Trump's current policy platform 20-30 years ago and that it was considered "liberal".
Both sides have extremes. Both sides point to the opposite's extremes being the collective mindset. The main difference is that one of the largest icons for one side's extremist views was elected president. Even after showing that they held and supported extremists beliefs in their first term, and campaigned on trippling down. Kamala could have also been an extremist icon, which is a fair argument, but we weren't willing to take the gamble, I guess.
This subreddit is full of Redditors. You're not even arguing with my main point. You've isolated a semantic detail, criticised that and then patted yourself on the back for calling me stupid.
I'm not taking part in this conversation because the very idea of Asmongold being moderate is regarded
I just pointed out that downvotes dont make you right or wrong. that's just peak reddit behaviour. They are used to disagree
You are not some kind of rebel or resistance force for having a lot of downvotes. If i type: "i like eating poop and i think slavery is good" I'll get the same amount of downvotes as you. Do you see where i'm going with it?
So stop being a pseudo-intellectual because you sound just like your loathed redditors
Nah I’m waiting for the car tariffs to kick in. Then the real dip begins and being anti “woke” (can you define it?)won’t save you from the consequences
He’s become the right wing equivalent of Hassan. Both are imbeciles who think they are way smarter than their audience but also somehow in touch with that same audience.
Reading these types of posts/comment chains on Reddit a clear pattern emerges.
Tried the same thing on Rogan and others and only made them more popular.
You'd think they'd finally realize it's not working and demonizing anyone who disagrees makes you in general look like the crazy people, especially when it's so consistent.
Right. Notice how these people always resort to Ad Hominem and Libel to discredit Asmongold’s takes entirely, rather than dissecting him and challenging his viewpoints in a sincere and honest manner.
Every time, it is “dead rat this” or “bad hygiene that”.
Or the “bans people who disagree with him” without understanding the full context that most of the people he banned don’t even properly engage with him by just going “you are just wrong, lol.”
It is like to these people, they are watching cherry-picked examples of the man to suit their hateful perspective on an adversary that is many times more successful in life than they are (financially and influentially).
practiced martial arts at a high level
was on tv
seems like a great guy to talk to
has a diverse variety of guests to talk to on his podcast
extremely influential figure among men
rose to success without a dad
Asmon:
hasn't left room in years
relies on ragebait to keep him afloat because his base personality probably isn't all that interesting
refuses to work on his mental issues
plays games all day, has no other hobbies
traps others in his cycle of despair
has channel that reaches millions of men only through self-pity and hatred at the world
had a gf because he's rich
But most of the things you mention about Asmon hasnt been true for a while (or at all). He still is his old self, but he has improved many of his bad habits.
hasn't left room in years
Like, he leaves his house (for walks and get food).
relies on ragebait to keep him afloat because his base personality probably isn't all that interesting
He had lot of viewers even before he shifted to his react content (less than now, but still had viewer base).
plays games all day, has no other hobbies
Most people dont have more than 1 hobby, hell for some only hobby is TV or scrolling tiktok/reddit/... Lets not forget that he is an owner or at least partner for multiple companies.
traps others in his cycle of despair
He has said multiple times that he doesnt promote his way of living to others. That they shouldnt use him as any moral compass or inspiration how to live.
has channel that reaches millions of men only through self-pity and hatred at the world
More like enjoying bullshit happening irl and just using opportunity to promote it more. At least from his what I have seen from him - he doesnt look unhappy or even angry with world.
had a gf because he's rich
Assuming it is true. So ? Wouldnt you say that it is the case for many/most rich people ? Hell, there is reason why some wives/gf are called trophy wives.
I get why many dislike Asmon, but man, more than half of the things you said arent event true or just come from pure hateful perspective.
I enjoy Rogan and Asmon content, but I do not always agree with all of their takes. And as much I find Asmon entertaining, I would not suggest his lifestyle to anyone. But if the dude is happy doing what he is doing and richer than most people, who is the loser in the end ?
I cannot fuxking wait for this stupid trump era to be over so I can watch the filth ogre again. His politics have always been so bad but man this time around has just been mega ass
His content is genuinely slop these days. He glazes every authoritarian stupid thing trump does and justifies it as fighting dei or some stupid shit. He's an actual brain broken TDS victim lol.
Compared to the lightning fast Special military operation 3 months is really fast. Very impressive showing of the FSB. Russia should just give up on this whole war-mongering buisness because they clearly aren't that good at it and just focus on subversive operations where their strengths lay.
Lol regards like Assmanhold and the other Chudholes are probably gonna be the first “patriots” to end up in the McGulag saying: “BUT WE SUPPORTED YOU!”
Asmon is the shallowest parrot out there who just repeats what chat says. Really not worth watching unless you want to get a summary of what opinions are popular on twitter and reddit.
He’s what cops are listening to on their daily patrols, why listen to fox when you got an uncensored “opposite of Jew” streamer who covers all trump drama?
I cannot explain myself how he deserves and got that many subscribers. There are hundreds of youtubers who make better content, he's just biased, opinionated and generally an ass. Usually it makes sense in some way. With Asmon? not for me.
Because his content got popular before he became political, and his previous content was worth watching and made Asmongold look like an honorable gamer to support.
it seems like a stretch because its a constitutional impossibility and the left would never allow it. the right doesn't have nearly enough votes to make an amendment to get that through, they barely even have the majority.
He's not a god. Look at all the protests and things going on right now. He doesn't have absolute control and half the country despises him, and another 25% doesn't like him either.
On one hand I would love for him to be out of office as soon as possible. On the other hand, that would probably be the funniest possible moment for it to happen
it’s so damn lame that he stopped focusing on gaming and instead started reacting to political slop, his entire subreddit is just filled with facebook uncle tier memes now. i guarantee most of his political viewers don’t even give a shit about him or his previous content lol, they’re a fickle crowd to pander to
I never fully agreed with asmon on everything on. But I watched him to you know see how other people who don't fully agree with me see stuff. Then he reacted to the Vance speach in europe. Bruh he his chat and even comments were sucking Vances cock balls deep. Yeah. I just blocked him out of my feed. There is a difference between different point of view and ignorance
Two term limit was put in place in 1947 btw and other presidents have had 3 terms. Changing the limit to 3 or 4 and winning those elections is absolutely not dictator behaviour.
You can argue 2 term limit is best but have a little perspective
Also, do you believe even for a second that Trump himself wouldn't be calling bullshit on it if a Dem president decided to change the constitution to run for a third term?
Two term limit was put in place in 1947 btw and other presidents have had 3 terms
One. One president has served more than 3 terms. And you could argue it was okay in that case because of WW2. And they got so scared of someone running for more than two times and being a President for life, they amended the Constitution to prevent that.
Washington himself didn't run a third time to make a point. Trump talking about going for a third one is the Conservative party taking a shit on the ideals they're supposed to represent.
marcodol@reddit
It baffles me that there are people on this planet, that see a man that does not shower for weeks and literally uses a putrified rat corpse's stench as an alarm clock, and say "yeah, this seems like a good person to get my political commentary from"
Woelli@reddit
I don’t really like him but what has not showering to do with his commentary? Such an idiotic argument
marcodol@reddit
He is very clearly not a sane person. Would you take financial advice from the crazy naked man yelling on the highway?
BannedTman@reddit
Where do you see any advice being given on his videos? He literally gives no advice and just "reacts" to shit lol
I_saw_Horus_fall@reddit
I all fairness just because someone is gross doesn't mean that what they say or know is wrong. The dude who landed on a comet wore an ahego hentai hoodie to the interview you can make the same base argument for him "it baffles me that there are people on this planet that sees a man so degenerate he's wearing a porn hoodie and go yeah that's the man I want as a poster boy for the scientific community" because there WERE people using that argument. Case in point, you didn't say he was wrong just that he's yucky.
marcodol@reddit
Ok i will say it right now, he is also wrong
I_saw_Horus_fall@reddit
Kay on what? He's wrong about some stuff and hes right about some other stuff but if you're gonna day he's wrong you need to explain why.
RdmNorman@reddit

He has a rat corpse somewhere in his roof that would start to smell when the sun comes up because of the heat.

Don't forget a room tour he did in the early 2010s, he had lots of soda cups from restaurants, some with plenty of soda left in them, one moldy, and one was the newest that he took a sip from, it's safe to say he may have drank one of the old ones.
yungmoneybingbong@reddit
That's not real, right?
What...?
InsertaGoodName@reddit
link to vid of it
TimeGlitches@reddit
Cannot be real that's a bit. I refuse to believe that wasn't something he just made up on the spot for a laugh.
Also his delivery on the "I'm sorry to hear that" was pretty on point.
marcodol@reddit
It's real, and he actually found it after a few months
https://youtube.com/shorts/tg5WPzrwVvs

Well color me disgusted and surprised.
yungmoneybingbong@reddit
I appreciate you providing the video.
But, with all due respect, I ain't clicking that link.
onarainyafternoon@reddit
So he told the story of how he had a dead rat in his house and when the sun would hit it through the window in the morning, it would start to heat the corpse up and the smell would wake him up. The thing is, it is debatable whether it's a real thing. He is certainly gross enough to have something like that happen, but he has also been known to embellish things a little bit.

What does Asmongold do: he plays video games, he used to be good and doesn't even need to be anymore, and he rakes in millions of dollars doing so. Now his life is literally whatever he wants and he's not controlled by women and making decisions because of his dick.
What do most men want? A life where they can be rich playing video games, not worry about having a job, and not being stressed by women.
He might be living in filth, but he's still living the dream that the majority of 15-30 year old men want to live. His foundations are very appealing if you don't judge a book by it's character and assume that the withered looking man is homeless and uneducated.
NCR_High-Roller@reddit
I really doubt the average Asmon viewer is stressed by women or anywhere near a 6-figure salary.
xTraxis@reddit
I didn't say they relate to him, I say they want to be like him. Most men want to be a millionaire who can play video games all day.
NCR_High-Roller@reddit
That’s kind of a purposeless existence though. Videogames and money are no substitute for human connection or IRL experiences.
xTraxis@reddit
All existence is purposeless, but he has a life long safety net, never has to worry about financial emergencies, supports anyone he needs to or wants to, and can do whatever he wants with his existence. He's owned multiple orgs and had socializing because of that, but he's not a fan so he doesn't spend his time trying to be more social than he needs to. Him choosing how he wants to spend his time shouldn't be a problem.
NCR_High-Roller@reddit
This can only work for him because he’s rich, but it’s disastrous if his followers are trying to imitate him.
xTraxis@reddit
But... thats the point. He wasn't always rich. He was poor as hell and then became rich playing video games. Thats the dream for many.
NCR_High-Roller@reddit
It’s kind of unrealistic though. Most people do day jobs because the likelihood of being a streamer is infinitesimally small. IMO people should set their sights on other ventures.
xTraxis@reddit
Okay cool, but the average person isn't logical and forward thinking, which is why so many companies get free money out of people who overspend. A lot of life is unrealistic, and the delusional people who never give up are the ones who often make it. Being logical and reasonable is exactly how you stay inside your box, and if you're comfy great, but many people aren't, and dreaming about a rich life is more fun than dreaming about an average life.
NCR_High-Roller@reddit
You know what. You make some really good points here. I agree with everything you said.
SoupRyze@reddit
Based take.
Source: me, mid 20s, that's exactly the kind of life I want to have 😭 Ok I don't want to live with dead rats and allat, but if you tell me I no longer have to impress anyone and keep up a "civilized" social appearance you bet your ass I am growing my hair out caveman style.
xTraxis@reddit
People think I'm condoning his degeneracy but I think most people would agree, if you could never need a job, and never need to worry about others opinions, life would be great, and asmon has that.
SoupRyze@reddit
Which is why you're based and is probably a cool dude 👍 People think making a point = agreeing with literally every single thing that a person does/represents.

shibitybwop@reddit
Well, people who have also not showered in weeks see him and think "Finally! Someone who gets me!"
Pictoru@reddit
Well, he enforces their ill informed 'gut' feelings about things, he's very popular, ergo they are RIGHT.
All the rest are just his quirky BUT AUTHENTIC characteristics, which just add to the experience and their para-social relationships with him.
I genuinely would be surprised to be more complicated than this. Except the regular brigading and algorithmic reach that keeps him at the top.
gintoki_1513@reddit
Remember this is the same dude who useda dead rat as his alaramd admits not takint showers for weeks thinking its normal. Anyone who agrees with him regarded beyond redemption.
silmarp@reddit
It seems Asmongold got really bored of wow. I mean, playing it for so many years I can see that's not funny anymore.
Politics however is always fun because you can have many people partaking at the lives.
Coffee_Stash@reddit
I used to enjoy asmon a lot but now a days it's just really crazy to see him go down the rabbit hole he is in and also if he reads this he will be in denial about it
Drayenn@reddit
I think the same. I also find he got much more boring because trump is so boring if you mass watch him. Trump literally repeats himself endlessly. Its like hes on an election campaign still.
I tend to almost always agree with asmon, but the right wing rabbit hole is obvious now. He only watches right wing news sources that are lying and biased. He does detect a lot of BS, but he lets some through. If he watches left wing news sources its always idiots like the view of hasan simping for terrorists.
Starbonius@reddit
True! He seemed so informed until recently where just eats up nearly everything with only the occasional fact check.
Drayenn@reddit
One thing i do notice is that he jokes a lot. Sometimes it feels like hes 100% on board and then he goes "all memes aside this is fucking stupid of trump".
sucknduck4quack@reddit
Yeah that’s actually what he said in this video. He was ironically cheering it on til about half way through the video when he said “how did I predict this was going to happen? Well I just imagine the dumbest most narcissistic self centered thing imaginable and that’s what’s gonna happen. Works every time.” Meanwhile most of his chat was unironically cheering it on
Starbonius@reddit
The chat is the worst part about asmon recently, literally nothing but unfunny MAGAts
HazelCheese@reddit
The subreddit is worse than the chat. Literally just wall to wall Facebook boomer memes.
I wouldn't be surprised if Asmons average viewer is 50+.
Starbonius@reddit
True
Coffee_Stash@reddit
I agree with you
LiteVisiion@reddit
He's fully aware, he's milking the political content as it scores millions of views on YouTube daily and it's literally an edit of his 20-30k viewers streams that took probably 7 mins to make.
Dude makes bread and it works, sucks for the quality of the content but it is what it is
Longjumping-Car3624@reddit
The question is wtf does he need the money for
INTHEMIDSTOFLIONS@reddit
For the love of the game.
Ozons1@reddit
Most likely he doesnt. I am very fucking sure that he is doing it because he finds it fun (I think he said so himself).
Imagine. You can basically do whatever you want, play whatever you want, say whatever you feel like it. Assuming he hasnt spend all his cash (I really doubt), he doesnt care about sponsors. Hell... Even if by some miracle all his income would get cut off, I am sure he still would create content.
Most likely he isnt viewing it as a work (like normal people). Just pleasant hobby where he gets paid.
INTHEMIDSTOFLIONS@reddit
Yup. He literally said this last night on a video that “alright guys enough with the memes. This does set a bad precedent and is clearly not what the writers of the amendment wanted. I think this would be bad. But this is good because it’s funny and it provides me with minimum 4 youtube videos a day worth of content. So for that reason, I’m a fan of it.”
He’s self aware

_eleutheria@reddit
The level of delusion in this comment section insane. You can click any of his videos and there are people constantly disagreeing with what he's saying. Especially when the topic is serious. He also gives genuine answers to these people.
Reddit is literally the website where everyone that doesn't hold a liberal opinion got banned. This comment section is a prime example. Every comment is a copy paste. This is happening after 8+ years of constant persecution and weeding out of conservative and moderate opinions.
Literally every sane person knows that politics on Reddit are discussed in an echo-chamber.
I_8_ABrownieOnce@reddit
This sub is the diet coke to the 4chan sub, which itself is like the RC Cola to 4chan.
AqeZin@reddit
He doesn't do that.
Ciubowski@reddit
yeah he does.
Granted, not to everyone but he does ban people for misunderstanding his point and commenting or having a stupid take.
At the same time he says "he does not support the banning of people from platforms".
So what? he supports people's free speech but not in his comments?
AqeZin@reddit
To be fair, most people I've seen him ban were either commenting in extremely bad faith, radicals or straight up expressing support for nazis. I don't think think banning these is much of a loss to the conversation, and not banning the latter two could even get him in trouble with Twitch.
GoldenGlobeWinnerRDJ@reddit
Compare it to Hasan that bans people because they hurt his feelings. I’m just saying.

The_Freshmaker@reddit
yeah, I got into his stuff pretty late in the game, maybe 6 months before the election and it was all fairly politically neutral and centrist.

Who’s house is/was infested with cockroaches and littered with rotting food. Who became a multi-millionaire by playing WOW and has lost all real perspective of the struggles the average american endures.
He’s a pretentious hillbilly living in squalor, believing his self righteous cause for white guy representation in media will “eliminate the woke mind virus” or some bullshit.

Well put. An unabashed addiction to ones own personal mental illness has led us to where we are. Though I do advocate for the collapse of society, should it happen to limp along I hope that a philosophical movement toward mental wellness and mindfulness might heal some of this cultural head wound.
ConcentrateTight4108@reddit
He used a dead rat as a alarm clock (the heat of the sun would roast the dead rat leading it to smell like the Devils asshole and he would use that to know when to get out of bed)

Does being dirty inherently make him wrong?
Or, put another way: would you disagree if Trump told you the sky is blue?
ReviewInteresting401@reddit
"Would you disagree with Hitler if he told you the earth is spinning" What's the point of this type of thing?
If someone shows that their character/reasoning is not reliable in many other instances, why should I care if they know obvious things or not?
denny31415926@reddit
Yeah, but my point is this: Asmon knows full well that his lifestyle is garbage. Quote:
"None of you guys want to live the way I do. My lifestyle is pure degeneracy."
I want to hear "Asmon is wrong because he has these specific opinions", not "Asmon is wrong because he's dirty". The latter doesn't logically follow.
The other problem is that it's possible to simultaneously be 100% correct on one topic, and dead wrong on another. I heavily disagree with most of Asmon's takes on politics, but am neutral to positive on his takes about gaming.
Spicy_Ramen11@reddit
Its funny how people make lolcow videos on that other smaller "streamer" with glasses who just like leaves cups and bowls in his room, and it just pales into comparison to Amsongold who can't even drink water without chasing it with chik fil a soda. I genuinely wouldn't doubt that there's more than just cockroaches in his house.
That "i won't vote for anything that puts me at a disadvantage" is still so crazy, how tf are you gonna complain about that when you're a millionare for sitting on your ass in filth all day?
Reddit_is_Fake_@reddit
Chasing the soda with water was obviously a joke, hate the guy all you want for all the other reasons I don't care, but you look like a clown pretending to be this stupid just to squeeze the last drop of insignificant criticism towards the guy.
This is coming from a guy perma banned from his chat BTW.
onarainyafternoon@reddit
Yes the chasing with soda thing was obviously a joke, but nothing else about the guy's life or identity is a joke. And that's depressing.
Reddit_is_Fake_@reddit
I never said otherwise, but people here are mad cause I didn't join their hate session about something they made up.
ReviewInteresting401@reddit
No, you chose to ignore the rest of the comment because of a tame joke, they didn’t even make him sound as filthy as he actually is.
I don't why why the soda thing was more important than the cockroaches or the "I won't vote for anything that puts me at a disadvantage" thing.
womynbeater@reddit
You're on reddit there is no place for nuance when the hate mob is out lol
Reddit_is_Fake_@reddit
-22 downvotes with no reply, they can't even argue because they know how dumb they look criticizing him for something they know is a joke.
jfuss04@reddit
They are on a greentext sub acting like they somehow are above listening to an asmon video. Like fucking 4chan is somehow not a cesspool of degenerate shit lol

JessHorserage@reddit
Wait, how is the voting line crazy?
ReviewInteresting401@reddit
Cause he was talking about laws that would benefit others and not him, the millionaire, it's basically a "When You’re Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression" type of thing.
FinestCrusader@reddit
He once made a vid reacting to a video he made 10 years ago and in that video he mentions that raccoons live in his house and Asmon just says "nothing has changed" so yeah
xTraxis@reddit
Do you think he's a millionaire who can do nothing because he's voting to put himself at a disadvantage?
HatsuneM1ku@reddit
No, it's because he's a functional member of society who deserves every hard-earned penny.
Onam3000@reddit
I don't think he firmly believes what he says, he's just good at saying what his audience wants to hear. It has gotten to the point where whenever he occasionally disagrees with his chat on a minor thing, he has to bring it up in the next 5 minutes to make a point of not always agreeing with the masses.

Only really an issue if Smell-O-Vision ever becomes a legal requirement on the internet.
SoloMarko@reddit
I feel a bit weird answering your question, but I'll have a go. I'm English (so politics don't really become a thing) and I'm fine watching him on YouTube, There's none of that shouting that a lot of Youtubers do, or talking at the speed of light, no jump cuts, and loud sounds from out of nowhere. The ones I've seen are him watching something topical, chatting about it with the people in his twitch chat. So to me, it's like sitting in with a bunch of people, shooting the breeze as the Yanks say (I think).
I'm old enough to not be swayed by any gobshites on the internet, so to me, it's just interesting hearing other peoples opinion. There is stuff he says that I disagree with of course, but it's just not too much of an issue when your mates or even family can say the same (if not worse) bollocks.
As for the state of his house, you would be surprised just how many people (even people you like) live in shitholes because the 'filth' is not a problem for them, and seeing as I will never have to visit him, not on my list of places to avoid.

Intelligent_Tip_6886@reddit
You can lead a horse to water, but if she refuses what else should he do?
xTraxis@reddit
"according to other content creators" who, he literally had emiru say he smelled like dust and no one else has said he smells bad. I'm not trying to be an Asmon simp but you can't italicize words for emphasis when they're the least true words of the post.
Intelligent_Tip_6886@reddit
Dudes dated a few OF whores so I doubt he smells that horribly.
vanadous@reddit
It used to seem like his personal experience with poverty informed his politics, and he had empathy for poor people and the oppressed, he was even pro sex work and socially progressive. That's either gone now, or forced out to please the anti woke slop consoomers.
Intelligent_Tip_6886@reddit
He's probably just changed bro, it happens to lots of us.
ArCSelkie37@reddit
Aye, people talking about his living conditions as if that somehow makes his opinion on a completely separate topic any more or less correct.
mvicerion@reddit
i mean i am not taking advice from a guy who lives in filth, unless he is like some kind of deranged genius or smth
ArCSelkie37@reddit
Depends what the advice is, hell Asmon himself advises against his own lifestyle and says no one should do it… I assume you’d follow or agree with that advice?
I don’t particularly care who says something, i care if they words themselves have merit.
mvicerion@reddit
same energy as a drug adict, yeah i would follow it ngl
xTraxis@reddit
He still has empathy for poor people and is pro sex work, his morals haven't changed because the topics have. What makes you think this changed?
vanadous@reddit
Immigrants, Palestinians are oppressed humans
OkSummer8924@reddit
lol just ignore him then
why does he trigger you so much ?
Intelligent_Tip_6886@reddit
He's probably a sperg, or at least lives the life of one given his rough childhood. You watch him for spergy takes on things where he's at least kind of knowledgeable. IDK why people have clinger onto him for politics or anything more serious than gamergate lol.

GoldenGlobeWinnerRDJ@reddit
I’ve watched Asmon before and this is not at all what his beliefs are, you’re just assuming that based off the way he looks lol
FlyPepper@reddit
??? 99% of his publicity is him regurgitating reactionary talking points
GoldenGlobeWinnerRDJ@reddit
It’s really not though, at least not anywhere near 99%.
FlyPepper@reddit
Everything that makes its way into the mainstream.
Hongkongjai@reddit
Well of course it’s like that. Ragebait is like a common tactic for any form of media.
FlyPepper@reddit
Hence why I said 99% of his publicity. I'm not claiming it's all of his content, but it's the vast majority of what people see.
fckwb@reddit
he's literally the only content creator right now who has the balls to say the quiet part out loud.
if he's not the only one who does that then list them here because i like listening to people who take the perspective of both sides before making an opinion.
ArCSelkie37@reddit
99% of his publicity is people looking at his video titles and thumbnails, not actually watching the video and then assuming his opinion on it.
fckwb@reddit
lol this is exactly the type of stuff i always see when someone hates him. it's all about the physical appearance, not a single counter argument to prove him wrong that isn't strawman.
_eleutheria@reddit
What a shitty take. Just because the dude didn't struggle in the past 10 years, it doesn't mean that he didn't struggle prior to that. The world didn't change that much in the span of a decade for him to become out of touch.

EvaUnit_03@reddit
Isn't that a bit of an ironic statement? They didn't vote for someone who was detached to what regular people want that they voted for someone detached from what regular people want but also a known criminal?
AqeZin@reddit
One side was talking about concerns regular people had, the other was talking about why race/gender based privileges are a good thing. I wonder what an average person would vote for 🤔
EvaUnit_03@reddit
I mean, they were also talking about literally taking over the US and pushing their own wants and desires. But everyone overlooked it because 'he'll make egg prices cheaper'. First thing he did in office was tell regular jackoffs to stop bitching about egg prices. Almost like he didnt have a history of literally telling people to STFU about things he doesnt care about.
AqeZin@reddit
That's the thing, Trump is a terrible candidate, he won people over by promising to do absolute minimum that people wanted to be addressed, it's an embbaressing that democrats lost to someone like this, it should be a wake up call for the whole party.
EvaUnit_03@reddit
I still argue that they dems lost because they put a woman up there. Never mind also a woman of color.
America is still a very racist and misogynistic place. If they would had put ANY white guy, even biden, they would have won hands down. But for some reason they keep wanting to push 'the first female president' shtick. And id argue its more the woman aspect than the race aspect, as Obama won hands down both times. Because hes a dude.
AqeZin@reddit
There was absolutely no way Biden could've won after that debate, replacing him was the right call. But I feel like even if Kamala was a white guy she still would've lost, she just wasn't a strong candidate and didn't have much time to make an impression during her campaign.
EvaUnit_03@reddit
We'll have to agree to disagree as whats done is done. She lost. Trump won. And hes going to destroy our nation.
WoopDogg@reddit
Trump talked about race and gender nonsense 100x more than Kamala did. She rarely spoke on it, not even to defend herself against his stupid black vs indian comments he made for weeks.
AqeZin@reddit
It's true, Kamala didn't talk about this much during her campaign (right call tbh), but people in her party around her just couldn't stop talking about this, in fact, they still keep talking about this.
onarainyafternoon@reddit
Jesus Christ man, if you only got your news from far right grifters, then yeah you would assume the only policy the Left has is about gender and race based privileges. But if you got your news from actual sources, you would know that sort of thing barely came up. Did you even look at Kamala's policies or did you just take what grifters said at face value? I would say I feel bad for you because your life is about to get 10,000 times worse, but you did vote for this.

Your comment doesn't even make sense. Saying someone "barks like a little Chihuahua" is saying that someone is a figuratively small person, but acts like a big tough guy. It has nothing to do with someone's physical body. What is going on with your reading comprehension?

magnumdong500@reddit
If I remember correctly he once admitted that at one point he hadn't brushed his teeth in so long that his gums literally started bleeding. He would just wipe the blood off his gums onto a specific spot on a wall. It's a good thing he can afford to replace his teeth if he ever needs to because those bad boys are probably eroding as we speak
xTraxis@reddit
That event was like 10 years ago. I'm not saying he's clean but in far more recent history he's admitted he started brushing his teeth every day, so he's not the same dude he was when the wall blood happened.
boilingfrogsinpants@reddit
He used to have half decent takes, even at times shutting down his ignorant viewers by explaining to them that some situations are more nuanced and shouldn't be viewed in a black and white rage situation. Now that's just gone as he's shifted towards more reaction based content.
ArCSelkie37@reddit
He still absolutely pushes back against his viewers, and says situations are more nuanced.

You enjoy watching a mentally diseased incel waddling around in shit and cockroaches, only waking up in the morning by the stench of a long deceased rat corpse heating up in the morning sun and feel reminded of your own miserable existence, seeing that people just as deranged as you can make it on the slop side of the net
PhantaminiumTC@reddit
He at one point spoke about things other than politics and wokeness. I didn't even like all his gaming takes, the majority of them were awful but he was at least entertaining. I've not watched any of his politics videos, the titles and thumbnails I see alone reek of carrying water for whatever the current government does. Whatever entertainment value might remain doesn't outweigh that.
newtostew2@reddit

One_Trick_Monkey@reddit
I'm sure i will out of respect for the game, but josh was definitely thorough to the point that I wouldn't need to lol
OldKittyGG@reddit
While I still love his videos, the one on dragon age origins sadly rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed like such a departure in quality from his usual content, that I'm worried other games may have been reviewed equally as sloppy, but I never noticed as I'm not familiar enough with those. I really hope he addresses some of the issues whenever he comes around to playing the dlc, and does better with those.
DarkSunGwyn@reddit
are you talking about this video? I did enjoy the few "was it good?" videos I've watched and now you have me worried haha. especially since it's dragon age origins
OldKittyGG@reddit
Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. If you've played DAO before, you'll almost immediately notice that Josh didn't care? To play the game, to really get to know it. He skipped most, if not all, companion quests, didn't recruit all companions and half of the ones he did get either died or left him. He repeadetly complained about the difficulty of the game and feeling like he had to cheese every encounter, but never once took a step back and thought if it could be his build and party composition that might be at fault. It felt like a disingenious review, if that video was the only thing I ever saw about Dragon Age Origins, I would never have played the game, and gotten into a gaming series I now love. Josh himself has said that players need to give games a chance, to put energy into a game, not simply passively consume it. So that you can develop more than a surface level connection to a game. I can't speak for other games he reviewed, but he did not give Dragon Age a fair chance.
DarkSunGwyn@reddit
aww man that's a shame, allistair and morrigan were like the best companions since liara and garrus, and out of all streamers I'd think josh would be the last to half ass the companion interactions.
well, guess I have a two hour video to watch, thanks for your input

Dannovision@reddit
I just discovered JSH about a month ago and 100% agree with you. I never watched Asmon u til a few years ago I woudk get a chuckle out of a few things. And like you said he was decent background content. He is intelligent and often was able to make some decent points, but then I noticed he shifted from making observations to almost always trying to make a point, and his was based in ensuring that unwashed basement incels were the dominant creature on Earth. I can absolutely understand why some video games get silly with agendas, but I am pleased to see people represented and I play video games to escape reality. I just don't get how his deeply entrenched viewer base can consume so much of his content and never take a walk outside to see maybe, just maybe; there are millions of people living millions of different lives and they are all entitled to having joy in it (excluding based on hurting others ironically).
onarainyafternoon@reddit
Asmon used to be somewhat decent, but then he streamed the amber heard trial and saw that he was getting more viewers than he ever had before and after that, he turned into an anti-woke grifter.
JessHorserage@reddit
Ah, did he turn into a grifter per se, or was he always there? In terms of personality profile.
AAS02-CATAPHRACT@reddit
More of a grifter I think. Dudes a self admitted bag chaser, wouldn't surprise me if he didn't believe a lot of the shit he says and just does it for money. But idk, I haven't watched him in like 2 years

capt_kocra@reddit
Josh's videos intriguing, and he reviewed a lot of games I played and am still playing, one MMO he reviewed genuinely seemed good, and the devs responded to his criticisms.
He seems to be very fair and balanced with his opinions which others tend not too be.
Plus, he looks pretty good.
ArcliteGhost@reddit
I can't stand Josh, he always comes off as an arrogant prick in all of his videos, I'm not sure why.
Dannovision@reddit
It's confidence. The man is well aware of what his capabilities are and what has helped him in his life. And apart from Zach, doesn't talk shot about people, but discusses what has helped him feel better and do better. This is how people should talk, focus on their strengths, not others weaknesses.
elibusta@reddit
Zach doesn't talk shit on people? He has quite a few times just to list a few Palestinians said they should be bombed because their uncivilized.
Dannovision@reddit
The sentence implies that Josh, in contrast to zach, doesn't do that.

Yeah after watching him for a while he just seemed narcissistic and high on himself. I liked his 'is it good?' series, but then I discovered his Twitch clips and he rubbed me the wrong way.

Damn, if only the Democrats would actually support worker's rights policies they might be able to win a fucking election for once instead of trying to give money to gay activists in Guyana...AKA padding their pockets by saying they gave it to some fake organization.
Seriously, the Republicans are only winning because the Democrats suck so much as a party that they don't actually have any policy either besides weirdly fetishizing gay and trans people. Both parties just let corpos run wholesale over everyone because they're all bribed and in deep pockets. Nobody cares about the working class.
sullyoverwatch@reddit
weirdly democrats ARE the workers rights party.
why do you think boston is so liberal? socially they’re as republican as can be, they hate gays, anyone of color, and transgender folk.
HOWEVER, boston is THE place for unions. insanely unionized city. unions are super liberal. very socialist style, and as such, the city votes democrat. unions ARE workers rights
but the dems started taking unpopular angles that gave them a massive target on their back. i’d argue most of america is pro or indifferent on LGB, but the T(and beyond) is still a big issue. illegal immigration is not popular on either side, but the dems still embrace it. there are a lot of issues that align like this for the dems
republicans are too disgusted to swing right and democrats hate their own party, so they don’t vote dem either.

Mesarthim1349@reddit
He is often wrong on culture war bs, but he's made some interesting predictions when it comes to Geopolitics.
He accurately predicted when the Russian invasion of Ukraine would start, and predicted the Tigray War in Ethiopia, as well as the Nile Dam Crisis.

Once again. All I pointed out was that he says things he doesnt mean. 90% of the things you listed arent even about his ability to stick to his word, and some of it lies (like sending his followers to attack he explicitly stated to be peacful). Its all just you hating on Trump.
To clarify, I said he says outrageous things that he doesnt mean, and you start screeching about things that are mostly not relevant to my comment.
splittingheirs@reddit
No hope.
How2chair@reddit
Oh poor you! You have to stick to the topic and not rant about orange man!
TearOpenTheVault@reddit
So we shouldn’t take the President of the United States seriously?
How2chair@reddit
Eh most of you dont anyways. Only do ti when it suits you
TearOpenTheVault@reddit
If the President of the United States starts discussing annexing Canada, you fucking listen to him. It's really that simple.
How2chair@reddit
Woooah swearing really emphasises your point there.
Anyways, you only listen when its suitable for you. Only when you can point to him and go ”he is a dictator” or whatever narrative you want about him. I bet you werent screaming from the rooftops that the US handled corona best when he was saying that the US had most vaccinations per capita.
HistoricalDruid@reddit
When Trump says outrageous things, it’s not because he doesn’t mean them, he’s testing the waters to see what he can get away with.
Trump will try anything he can to remain in power just like he did with Jan 6th. I don’t know how you can remain so willfully ignorant at this point. He said he would pardon the Jan 6th violent insurrectionists, and he did.
The same thing is happening with the third term. It started off as a “joke” at his rallies, and now he’s saying he’s “not joking.” Then he’ll try to find a way to do it, and try to convince everyone that it’s not actually a big deal.
People like you hold him to no accountability whatsoever.
How2chair@reddit
Damn its crazy that you can know everything about my beliefs because i point out that he says outrageous things that he doesnt mean. Can you read minds? Can you predict who winns the next game?
SoldierSinnoh@reddit
He is not only saying outragous things, he is also doing them. And a 3rd term project is already in works for him. The clown is serious
Neither-Phone-7264@reddit
a third term is an inpossibility. it would require a constitutional amendment (the 22nd) to be undone, and the right doesn't have nearly enough votes for that, nor will they, considering Congress tends to swing against the president after the first 2 years.
HistoricalDruid@reddit
It’s an “impossibility” for the Vice President to overturn the election results of the sitting President, doesn’t mean he didn’t literally try to do just that on January 6th because he thought he could stay in power that way. When Pence wouldn’t do it, he said he “didn’t have the courage.”
Now he’s pardoning his supporters for their part in Jan 6th.
Trump will try whatever lets him stay in power. If he thinks there’s a way to run for a third term, he will attempt it.
Mesarthim1349@reddit
Sounds like Max would approve.
Thays the ego of all egos.
How2chair@reddit
Yeah like he said he would nuke a tornado? People keep forgetting he is a businessman and will always say that he will do more than he actually will. ”a third term project is already in works for him” says nothing, specify.
Biden is obamas 3rd term, if you mean that vance would be his third term then its nothing new.
SoldierSinnoh@reddit
Yes, he says a lot of things that he doesnt mean, but that doesnt mean we shouldn't question at least some things he says.
For example, while nuking a tornado is obviously ridiculous, trying to circumvent a term limit in a democracy by a more authoritarian-learning leader is something that has happened before in history, for example in Russia.
And I think he has something other in mind than Obamas "3rd" term, which is a questionable depiction since I would argue that Obama didn't have great political power in Bidens term, Biden just copied the democrats playbook from the last decade.
It is more likely that Trump will argue that he is entitled to a 3rd term, since his original 2nd term has been "stolen", or he might start a war and argue that he has to stay in office until things settled.
The reality of this possibility should be taken seriously, the MAGA movement isn't like any other movement in the last decades, we have seen that on the Capitol Riot.
How2chair@reddit
okay so the ”plans in works” is a potential argument he might make because ”he just like putin”
If you think the capitol riot was bad, imagine the riot they had a year or two ago where he was forced to go into the presidential bunker. But that was conveniently forgotten. Just like how the floyd riots were forgotten even though they were more destructive and were forcing a political change more so than a few people touring through the white house where the only person to die was a middle aged female protestor.
The aboslute state of reddit…..
SoldierSinnoh@reddit
Well then, let's just see if he will seriously attempt a 3rd in 3 years, shall we?
And yes, I think an attack on a symbol of American democracy brought by a businessman who couldn't take a loss is dangerous. That doesnt mean that I think the George Floyd riots were good, and it is strange that you instantly mention them.
You dont have to be left or reddit-cringe-pilled to see Trumps actions and his plans for the future. He is far more aggressive than in his first term, and as someone who likes the democratic idea, it is worrisome.
How2chair@reddit
Its not strange that I mention them, they were both attempts at political change. Odd that you didnt adress the white house riot at all. And saying ”okay well it might happen lets wait and see” is completely different from your first comment which was ”there are plans in the works”.
Its just so weird that i never see these people that like democracy when the other side does undemocratic things.
Melatoniny@reddit
Quoting Asmon on this: “Dropping the memes and everything, he shouldn’t run for a third term, okay? If he does run for a third term, the ONLY reason I want that to happen is that it’s like a 3D printer that prints gold ../ literally endless content.” Seems reasonable to me.
Avscum@reddit
So heartless to call someone actively destroying democracy in your country as "endless content". Brainless, stands for nothing in his life.
BoiTarantado@reddit

sethlyons777@reddit
I honestly don't mind Asmongold. He's entertaining and has reasonable takes most of the time, but his takes on the deportation and third term stuff is really worrying. I do wonder if he's paid to shill conservative talking points, which sucks because it would be so nice to have a popular streamer who is an outspoken moderate and isn't subject to audience capture or partisan power.
TheMrWannaB@reddit
Ah yes, the classic moderate who happens to fall on the right-side of every public debate he covers
sethlyons777@reddit
Every person believes their opinions fall on the correct side of the argument, what are you talking about lol
TDoggy-Dog@reddit
Right as in right wing, not as in correct.
sethlyons777@reddit
People on Reddit would say that, because the Overton window in their niche is very left of centre. Any opinions to the right of them is right, not moderate. This makes literally no sense. I'm a perfect example of a left leaning person who has been pushed away by people who demand others have their crazy, extreme, radical political opinions.
If you were to interrogate it just a little bit, you'd find that most people you consider to be conservative are actually in favour of lots of socialist policies.
veryangryenglishman@reddit
You one month ago:
Like fuck are you
You seem to be blissful unaware of the fact that this is because right wing voters are often hilariously unaware of the minutiae of what they're actually voting for
sethlyons777@reddit
You just quoted me out of context, good job.
Most, including left wing voters are. The fact that so many people are willing to die on the hill of the argument, "my party is better than yours", as if it ultimately makes a difference, is pretty wild to me. It indicates to me a distinct lack of understanding of American history, how the government works and who's actually involved.
veryangryenglishman@reddit
Yeah wake me up when anyone can claim that left wing voters secretly love large amounts of right wing policy otherwise you're just yapping
You can brush over it as much as you like but no-one intelligent enough to be worth listening to is going to forget the huge amounts of rank hypocrisy from republican supporters and influencers
sethlyons777@reddit
Most policy in US politics is right wing tbf. To claim that the USA is liberal is kind of laughable.
Let's not pretend that this hypocrisy resides all the way across the spectrum. My point is that the two party system is really not designed to work in the way that most people would expect. The people deserve a 3rd, 4th and 5th option, but the current structure wouldn't allow that.
veryangryenglishman@reddit
Feel free to go into specifics
For example, the empty right wing threats that democratic supporters would turn violent if they lost the election even in spite of the Jan 2020 insurrection, or, indeed, the new administration pardoning many of those people despite the fact that they injured nearly 200 police officers.
What do you have that is equally despicable from modern dems?
sethlyons777@reddit
Whatboutism arguments that are limited to the craziness of average people over the last 5 years is such a small sandbox to engage that it renders argument pointless.
Instead of arguing about which voting group is better or worse, or smarter or stupider (which is literally what the media coverage is designed to encourage) gets us nowhere. What is more important to me is the proposition that regardless of the event (J6 event, or BLM, or Tesla attacks, or Charlottesville etc.) the odds are that there's covert three letter agency agitators present.
I truly believe that my fellow human beings are generally good at heart, and are more often than not misguided by bad information or "nudge" programs. I may not trust many people, but certainly don't hate them for having their opinions on things.
veryangryenglishman@reddit
BLM definitely had it's issues but comparing Charlottesville or J6 to them is fucking wild and vandalism of some Tesla dealerships doesn't even scratch the surface in comparison
You're bias is hanging out mate
sethlyons777@reddit
I think it's important to compare all of them honestly. I never said they were the same. You did a lot of assuming here.
It's pretty clear by your comment that you're the one who's biased and are accusing me of the very problem you're subject to.
veryangryenglishman@reddit
Now who's making whataboutism arguments?
"No u"
sethlyons777@reddit

Yes we all know Republicans vote against their self interest to own the libs. It's the collective spoke in the wheel meme. Good job pats head
Squirrel_force@reddit
Lol dude it’s like you aren’t even reading their responses. They are trying to actually have a conversation and explain their point of view where as you are just being an asshole for no reason
packim0p@reddit
there is no point in having an online conversation with someone stupid enough to actively vote against their self-interest because woke.
StosifJalin@reddit
Classic example showing which party shuts down communication. Turns out all the cries of "fascist" was collective projection.
packim0p@reddit
it's blatantly obvious which of the two parties provides more direct support to the majority of the population. anyone who ignores this is either too stupid or brainwashed via the culture war. they cannot be saved. it will take a collective realization within the circle jerk for people to break out to reality.
StosifJalin@reddit
Except your stupidity and brainwashing is just as blatantly obvious to your opponents, as has always been the case for opposing parties since the dawn of time. You know what the solution is? Talking to each other to figure out the truth.
Except one side is filled with too many smarmy redditors to come to the table and communicate. Nazis shut down discussion because they are too afraid of what the other might say.
packim0p@reddit
mhm oooo yeah i'm a white male in mid mid-30's makign six figures in a DINC household ooo i'm so afraid of what the MAGAs will say!
Squirrel_force@reddit
No point in what you are doing either and if anything, it will alienate them anymore. I honestly think you are taking your frustration with the right out on them

They don't want a discussion. They want to lash out and dehumanize those who don't agree with them.

Squirrel_force@reddit
Agreed
sethlyons777@reddit
Most people vote against their self interest in the end because there's a big moneyed elite club and very few people are in it.

Tikene@reddit
Did posting that feel good bro? Redditors are addicted to the dopamine hit of agreeing with the group to pile up on someone. You may deny this is a thing, but anyone who is honest with themselves knows it feels good to post those comments. That addiction is why theres no real debates in this site and you will never be able to change anyones opinions, quite the opposite, not like you care but its funny to see
CloudySpace@reddit
I think thats a bot, mate. Dead internet theory
SpectorEscape@reddit
Anyone who says they were pushed away by the left for crazy opinions is lying. The right literally is the one going off the deep end.
StosifJalin@reddit
no u
sethlyons777@reddit
The right is going off the deep end, I agree. The left has been doing so for at least 10 years already. I don't see this as a partisan issue. I see this as a social issue.
SpectorEscape@reddit
The left has been essentially asking for rights and protections of disenfranchised groups and you have grifters making it look like they "went off the deep end" by showing a minority of people on the cringe side online" lol
You can't compare the two in when it comes to going off the deep end. One side is legit dangerous with their views.
sethlyons777@reddit
If you expect people to value you opinions and think you to be unbiased, you're best to show the same amount charity and scepticism toward all parties.
The claim that your group is somehow not subject to the same spread of statistical phenomenon even though all data exists in the same environment is just not believable to reasonable person.
SpectorEscape@reddit
That's not how it works.
No one's saying both sides don't have crazy people.
The difference is one side has more of these crazy people in actual power.
Both sidism is stupid and a way to downplay the dangers of the other.
sethlyons777@reddit
Which people have been in career long tenured positions in their respective institutions for the last 30 years and which institutions are they? Name these positions of power, how long they've had those positions and what their politics are.
SpectorEscape@reddit
This has nothing to do with what I'm saying you and you know ot. You're purposely trying to change the argument and "test the knowledge" on the other because your view got called out. Common tactic, too.
Have a good day.
sethlyons777@reddit
You literally made a claim about crazy people in positions of power and I asked you to prove it. Just admit you can't be bothered backing up your claim lol
SpectorEscape@reddit
Oh, I didn't know talking about electing crazy politicians. I meant we had to talk about the tenure over the last 30 years. Wow. It's very enlightening.
Once again, you know what you're doing trying to shift the conversation.
sethlyons777@reddit
So you think that just this one latest elections for POTUS is unique to the degree that prior to everything was fine and now it's not?
This is a common take and i think it's really weird and uninformed.
SpectorEscape@reddit
No one stated it's only the latest. But your shift in argument is still once again obvious.
You're purposely trying to shift and put words in people's in mouths by using that shift so you can say stuff like, "This is a common take, and i think it's really weird and uninformed." When nobody made that take
Once again, i know what you're doing. I'm not playing your game. Have a good day, buddy. You are totally originally a left leaning person. Mhmm, totally.
sethlyons777@reddit
You keep accusing me of pulling clever argument tactics on you without actually engaging with me on the substance of our arguments in earnest.
You've made claims and I've challenged you to prove them. Why won't you do that?
SpectorEscape@reddit
Have a good day
muhaos94@reddit
The presidential race was within 2 percentage points, it's not like there's this massive amount of the population that is the status quo outside of the internet.
Someone saying they're a moderate/centrist but then supporting Republicans on every major policy point is just disingenuous.
sethlyons777@reddit
Which election and which metric? That's a very general statement that could mean anything.
There are some who do the same with Democrats as well, that's kind of the point. Nevertheless, I wouldn't attribute malice where I could attribute ignorance. It's not as if there's an abundance of choice and good information that's easily available. You might not like other people's political opinions, but the more aggressive you are about that, the worse that reflect on you, not anyone else.
fwiw i'm a non-american independent voter. On a longitudinal scale it would hardly matter if Trump lost. The American project is still subject to the same dynamics and faults and would still be tracking in the same direction. We shouldn't be aiming our vitriol at people whose powered is limited to one single vote every 4 years. We should be aiming it at the corrupt white collar individuals whose greed is destroying the commons.
TheMrWannaB@reddit
Right, as in opposite of left. Changed to "conservative" for clarity. Thank you for your feedback.
XHFFUGFOLIVFT@reddit
Being a moderate doesn't mean you have a balanced combination of conservative and liberal ideas, it means you have no extremist views. If you are slightly left or slightly right on every issue, you're a moderate. If you wanna kill all minorities then establish a gay christian socialist utopia, you're not a moderate.
CasuallyBeerded@reddit
Asmongold thinks he is what Dan Carlin actually is.
sethlyons777@reddit
Prove it. I don't think that's very likely.
CasuallyBeerded@reddit
Dan Carlin is an actual independent who fairly assesses both sides. Asmongold is a conservative nut job claiming to be independent in bad faith. It’s pretty telling when he has little to no criticism of one side.
Gaminguide3000@reddit
Oh wow! Another comment thats downvoted because "wahh i cant be wrong so i gotta downvote"
sethlyons777@reddit
50-100 people doing the downy arrows on comments means absolutely nothing about whether I'm right or wrong. People take this stuff too seriously. I still think I'm right and if people aren't going to engage on merits of the argument then that reflects more on them than anything else.
BIG_BOTTOM_TEXT@reddit
When Asmon and I were kids, the takes he says these days WERE considered moderate. The political left in America is a train which is headed for a cliff and anyone who gets off that train is labeled "right-wing" or some nonsense merely for not being a radical.
CasuallyBeerded@reddit
Making enemies out of the entirety of NATO was moderate at some point in time? Please enlighten me on when that was come up.
sethlyons777@reddit
Exactly. Most people don't know or don't remember that their Democrat representatives had Trump's current policy platform 20-30 years ago and that it was considered "liberal".
depers0n@reddit
When did democrat representatives have "Destroy NATO, go to war with the EU over Denmark, and hand over the White House to Putin" in their policy?

StrengthfromDeath@reddit
Both sides have extremes. Both sides point to the opposite's extremes being the collective mindset. The main difference is that one of the largest icons for one side's extremist views was elected president. Even after showing that they held and supported extremists beliefs in their first term, and campaigned on trippling down. Kamala could have also been an extremist icon, which is a fair argument, but we weren't willing to take the gamble, I guess.
nuuudy@reddit
That mostly means: "i disagree"
You are on Reddit, but look at the subreddit you're in. Your take must be really stupid for people here to disagree with you

nuuudy@reddit
Downvote =/= right or wrong
Downvote = people disagree
Can i make it any easier? Or should i draw it
sethlyons777@reddit
This subreddit is full of Redditors. You're not even arguing with my main point. You've isolated a semantic detail, criticised that and then patted yourself on the back for calling me stupid.
nuuudy@reddit
I'm not taking part in this conversation because the very idea of Asmongold being moderate is regarded
I just pointed out that downvotes dont make you right or wrong. that's just peak reddit behaviour. They are used to disagree
You are not some kind of rebel or resistance force for having a lot of downvotes. If i type: "i like eating poop and i think slavery is good" I'll get the same amount of downvotes as you. Do you see where i'm going with it?
So stop being a pseudo-intellectual because you sound just like your loathed redditors
sethlyons777@reddit
You can't know that. If you can, I encourage you to prove it.
nuuudy@reddit
Reddit blacklists words (or moderators do? Idk)

WisherWisp@reddit
Reading these types of posts/comment chains on Reddit a clear pattern emerges.
Tried the same thing on Rogan and others and only made them more popular.
You'd think they'd finally realize it's not working and demonizing anyone who disagrees makes you in general look like the crazy people, especially when it's so consistent.
Ferrari_Turtle@reddit
Right. Notice how these people always resort to Ad Hominem and Libel to discredit Asmongold’s takes entirely, rather than dissecting him and challenging his viewpoints in a sincere and honest manner.
Every time, it is “dead rat this” or “bad hygiene that”.
Or the “bans people who disagree with him” without understanding the full context that most of the people he banned don’t even properly engage with him by just going “you are just wrong, lol.”
It is like to these people, they are watching cherry-picked examples of the man to suit their hateful perspective on an adversary that is many times more successful in life than they are (financially and influentially).
It’s completely juvenile.
NCR_High-Roller@reddit
I think the difference is that Rogan tends to be an inspirational figure while Asmon is a really dysfunctional guy.
WisherWisp@reddit
And calling millionaire streamers who are out there dating models dysfunctional just seems like sour grapes and nothing more.
Taking the rat story and trying to say he's dirty is like trying to make Rogan look like a racist for quoting black comedians.
It'll only work on people who don't know what you're talking about, and anyone who looks it up will think you're a liar.
NCR_High-Roller@reddit
Joe Rogan:
Asmon:
Ozons1@reddit
But most of the things you mention about Asmon hasnt been true for a while (or at all). He still is his old self, but he has improved many of his bad habits.
Like, he leaves his house (for walks and get food).
He had lot of viewers even before he shifted to his react content (less than now, but still had viewer base).
Most people dont have more than 1 hobby, hell for some only hobby is TV or scrolling tiktok/reddit/... Lets not forget that he is an owner or at least partner for multiple companies.
He has said multiple times that he doesnt promote his way of living to others. That they shouldnt use him as any moral compass or inspiration how to live.
More like enjoying bullshit happening irl and just using opportunity to promote it more. At least from his what I have seen from him - he doesnt look unhappy or even angry with world.
Assuming it is true. So ? Wouldnt you say that it is the case for many/most rich people ? Hell, there is reason why some wives/gf are called trophy wives.
I get why many dislike Asmon, but man, more than half of the things you said arent event true or just come from pure hateful perspective.
I enjoy Rogan and Asmon content, but I do not always agree with all of their takes. And as much I find Asmon entertaining, I would not suggest his lifestyle to anyone. But if the dude is happy doing what he is doing and richer than most people, who is the loser in the end ?

Lol regards like Assmanhold and the other Chudholes are probably gonna be the first “patriots” to end up in the McGulag saying: “BUT WE SUPPORTED YOU!”

I bet most of you didn't watch it. 90% of the video is him meming around but at one point he droos it and says he shouldn't do it

Rare r/greentext political thread that isn't full of far right-wingers
the duality of r/greentext

Anyone else think it'd be epic to see Obama and Trump run against each other?
Few-Frosting-4213@reddit
All else being equal, I think Obama would have wrecked Trump who barely managed to beat Hillary.
-Soap_Boxer-@reddit
I think he'd absolutely demolish him right now. And it would break MAGA's brains....

Asmon is the shallowest parrot out there who just repeats what chat says. Really not worth watching unless you want to get a summary of what opinions are popular on twitter and reddit.
delayed_burn@reddit
i dropped and unsubbed from asmongold completely. not my cup of tea anymore.
Starbonius@reddit
Asmon is just straight unwatchable rn. He's literally just slightly more centrist fox news for people my age and its so disappointing
blitzlurker@reddit
He’s what cops are listening to on their daily patrols, why listen to fox when you got an uncensored “opposite of Jew” streamer who covers all trump drama?
KevionTheAlician@reddit
I swear it's always the dumbest streamers that go down into right-wing politics
RJ_73@reddit
Damn this sub used to be kinda funny lol now it's all just trump rage comments
Lawgamer411@reddit
Cool opinion anon, now show me Asmons gums
MeatbagEntity@reddit
I cannot explain myself how he deserves and got that many subscribers. There are hundreds of youtubers who make better content, he's just biased, opinionated and generally an ass. Usually it makes sense in some way. With Asmon? not for me.
xTraxis@reddit
Because his content got popular before he became political, and his previous content was worth watching and made Asmongold look like an honorable gamer to support.
shiny_xnaut@reddit
That seems like a stretch considering his age (please please please please)
Neither-Phone-7264@reddit
it seems like a stretch because its a constitutional impossibility and the left would never allow it. the right doesn't have nearly enough votes to make an amendment to get that through, they barely even have the majority.
Gaybulge@reddit
And you think they'd get hung up on such trifling matters?
Neither-Phone-7264@reddit
Fortunately he does not have complete and utter control, so yes, the constitution still matters.
Starbonius@reddit
He's ignoring all the chains that are supposed to keep the president in check so it's possible. Remember we're only 3 months in
Neither-Phone-7264@reddit
He's not a god. Look at all the protests and things going on right now. He doesn't have absolute control and half the country despises him, and another 25% doesn't like him either.
Chinse@reddit
Seems like the first amendment isnt doing much these days
Vinyl-addict@reddit
It would be like a sign from God if he took a third term and died of a severe stroke during inauguration.
shiny_xnaut@reddit
On one hand I would love for him to be out of office as soon as possible. On the other hand, that would probably be the funniest possible moment for it to happen
osbirci@reddit
the dude has the best medical care of the earth. he can stay alive for a 3rd run.
Connect_Hospital_270@reddit
He can't change anything. Why not take advantage of the show?
Starbonius@reddit
Because his content is fucking gay now. Straight up unwatchable
Hentaikopter@reddit
Mhm Yes For sure For sure No Hmmm Yes, that's right
Shroom-TheSelfAware@reddit
Leftoid redditors are just mad at this guy because he calls them out on their crazy behavior.
Inb4 “right wingers are just as insane”
slowlikemusic@reddit
Asmon is as educated about politics as hes educated about using conditioner
Lucariowolf2196@reddit
I remember watching Asmon for a little bit as he was doing ffxiv streams bit never really watched him afterwards.
YoungDiscord@reddit
Oh wow who would have guessed that the guy who refused to step down last time is thinkijg of... refusing to step down next term?
guacandroll99@reddit
it’s so damn lame that he stopped focusing on gaming and instead started reacting to political slop, his entire subreddit is just filled with facebook uncle tier memes now. i guarantee most of his political viewers don’t even give a shit about him or his previous content lol, they’re a fickle crowd to pander to
kubin22@reddit
I never fully agreed with asmon on everything on. But I watched him to you know see how other people who don't fully agree with me see stuff. Then he reacted to the Vance speach in europe. Bruh he his chat and even comments were sucking Vances cock balls deep. Yeah. I just blocked him out of my feed. There is a difference between different point of view and ignorance
broseph4555@reddit
Used to watch him so often, but he's just trump tv at this point, so I'm good.
Minute-Weekend5234@reddit
The cockroach king is seeing that Trump is a fucking psycho for the first time?
Nervous-Hair-2107@reddit
Fuck this guy and all the other "centrislt" slob tubbers. Hasan Warned yall
pudasbeast@reddit
I used to watch asmon but blocked his channel now that its all "trump is absolute cinema"
Omega_brownie@reddit
I'm so sick of seeing this guys stupid fucking face
OXBDNE7331@reddit
His subreddit is absolutely batshit crazy infested with Russian bots and other bullshit
AsherTheDasher@reddit
gamer takes? 9/10 correct
political takes? 1/10 times correct
BIG_BOTTOM_TEXT@reddit
Running for president in a democratic republic where ppl absolutely have the right to vote no is not dictator behavior lol
marcodol@reddit
Man... The state of civic education is so disappointing...
PijaniFemboj@reddit
Running for your third term in a country where you can only be a president two times is absolutely dictator behavior.
HeyoUwU@reddit
Two term limit was put in place in 1947 btw and other presidents have had 3 terms. Changing the limit to 3 or 4 and winning those elections is absolutely not dictator behaviour.
You can argue 2 term limit is best but have a little perspective
FizzleFuzzle@reddit
So if the republicans run Trump again, would they be fine with the dems running Obama?
HeyoUwU@reddit
Obviously if that was changed Obama could. Its just so old with the inflammatory butchering of words.
Not even close to dictatorship.
new_KRIEG@reddit
What's the goddamn perspective in that?
Also, do you believe even for a second that Trump himself wouldn't be calling bullshit on it if a Dem president decided to change the constitution to run for a third term?
rs6677@reddit
One. One president has served more than 3 terms. And you could argue it was okay in that case because of WW2. And they got so scared of someone running for more than two times and being a President for life, they amended the Constitution to prevent that.
Washington himself didn't run a third time to make a point. Trump talking about going for a third one is the Conservative party taking a shit on the ideals they're supposed to represent.
joeycarusomate@reddit
Cmon man, I know you’re not really that dense, and gay
BIG_BOTTOM_TEXT@reddit
Cant deny the latter but id be willing to have a dong competition to determine the former

zd625@reddit
Dictator behavior is disregarding the constitution of the country.
NerdyBooy@reddit
It's funny though?
MommyMilkersPIs@reddit
People who watch this clown and give him money are degenerate losers. Not even real people. Same with other streamers.
amy0bar@reddit
Asmongold is stupidiest man ever lived
