Shortly before the American streamer was detained by U.S. border officials and questioned about his political beliefs, he spoke with Madeline Sherratt about his frustrations with the Trump administration — and the weak attempts by Democrats to hold the president accountable.
His uncle was a founder of The Young Turks, and gave him an internship. One day a host was sick so they plugged him in, and then he started streaming on his own.
He’s an incredibly wealthy nepo baby who doesn’t actually understand politics, just that shit is fucked.
So he can never articulate solutions, he just complains about problems.
His entire business model is getting on twitch. Reading news articles about how fucked shit is, then saying:
Chat, is this fucked? This is fucked, right?
And everyone agrees with him because shit has been fucked for decades.
But you’ll never hear give a single solution, so compared to stuff like Cody Johnson I just don’t see the appeal. I guess he makes some people feel smart when they agree that shits fucked.
I havent watched him, so cant speak directly for his content, but isn’t pointing out problems to a large audience better than not?
If he doesnt know the solutions, why not leave that to someone who does instead of suggesting something that could possibly be harmful?
I think highlighting the real issues to the population is important because right now the blame for everything is wrongly put on immigrants and minorities.
I know Twitch causes echochambers in the channels, but maybe a few right wing people are curious about his stream and it could make them think differently?
He is a news aggregate with a fake leftist filter and is totally audience captured.
His audience are tankies who justify the actions of Hamas and dismiss any wrongdoing. To paraphrase “I don’t care if rapes happened (on October 7th), it doesn’t change the situation for me at all.”
He lives in a multi-million dollar mansion, wears designer clothes, drives a Porsche, and complains about capitalism.
“I don’t care if rapes happened (on October 7th), it doesn’t change the situation for me at all.”
To not paraphrase, the point was that oct 7th was a less egregious act of violence than what Isreal had been doing and is doing currently.
So yea, it’s fair to say that it doesn’t change much if the oct 7th had behaded babies or if it had Palestinian gifting flower crowns to Israeli snipers martiring themselves while singing Imagine.
Considering that Israel does the equivalent of an October 7 against civilians in Gaza roughly every few weeks, yeah whether or not rapes happened on October 7th doesn’t really change the overall situation.
To put it into perspective, the October 7 death toll is roughly 1,200. Since then, the death toll in Gaza has been around 40,000. No amount of rapes on October 7th will absolve Israel or change the dynamic.

I recommend just listening to him yourself and making up your own mind instead of whatever bullshit that dude is saying

Are you saying that rape is an acceptable?
