why ya linking bad empanada? He’s fuckin crazy
Because despite who he is as a person his video essays are quality content.
He’s called for innocent people to be killed
So nuance just goes right over your head? Fair enough.
What nuance is there for wanting innocent civilians dead?
Exactly, no nuance with you. The nuance here is with what he has said. The nuance here is that him saying something we don’t agree with doesn’t mean his video is somehow bad.
You can’t separate the art from the artist when the artist is a political commentator, which he is, and he has said some very hateful and extremist things.
You can’t agree with every opinion a political commentator has, so according to you no political commentator should be listened to.
How about this. You tell me who I should listen to you and I’ll tell you how you’re wrong.
It’s a bit of a strange position to take. You can read some of his bigotry here: 1 2
Like he’s an anti-semitic nutter who regularly denies atrocities and genocides, he promotes racism, he calls for nations to be nuked, he harasses rape victims, he doxxes teenagers and also rape victims. If you want to argue that an extremist bigot can make points that an everyman can agree with, then surely you have to do the same for the other extremists, such as Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes and Cadence Owens? It’s only fair afterall.
Or is it because you find yourself agreeing with him?
