I think these types want the government to take the internet and porn away. Like they're addicted, and need intervention. S&J kind of said that in his video about Gamergaters. They yearn for more but are shackled to the internet

Sargon, like the rest of the alt-right/rationalists, are short-sighted and spiteful fucks who will happily vote against their best interests to gently caress over the objects of their scorn. ... just like most right-wingers tbh.

Yeah, this was really weak, and this is coming from someone who would likely give him a chance if he seemed sincere, in a heartbeat. He's not worried about the effect of his position or how they align with this bunch of vile creeps. He just doesn't want to have the infamy of sharing the boat with the chuckling edgelords. It's about image, not content. Or maybe the Patreon money is drying up and he can't quite catch the loudest assholes, so he needs to figure out a new space to occupy. The "reasonable, non-Trumpster Skeptic" sect, if you please. It just might have enough people to fill an average pool.

Yeah, it's a bit weird. To go from "Look at these snowflakes, getting bitchy because they think words hurt! Get a thicker skin you pansies!" to "Abloo bloo they talked crap about my dead Daaaad! So much for the tolerant SJWs!" on a dime shouldn't surprise my anymore, but somehow it still does. I mean, I get it. Like all movements, there are some embarrassing, aggressive people among progressives, feminists, socialists, you name it. People who will attack you personally, twist what you say, lie. It's called the human condition. But pretending that they are a big enough deal to justify an entire movement to counter them is just an insane level of wrong priorities, or just a sadistic glee in punching down.

Thunderfoot make alot of money from his patreon, although he lost a lot of support for making anti brexit/trump videos (Thundercuck etc) he still makes 3k per video. That's far more than Sargon or Atheist make. He can do stuff like jump off the rational crazy train or not even board it like with the trump madness because he can always fall back on his popular science videos.

That's why the best part of the video is his distancing himself from the Sarkeesian Effect. Not because of the subject matter or that it seemed absolutely ridiculous to make a "documentary" about video game feminism, but because Jordan Owen and Davis Aurini hosed it up and the ensuing drama.

He'll be back to spewing bullshit ideas soon enough in videos that take five times as long as they should.

He's part of the backlash idiot retard whites are having in their quest to harm everyone including themselves out of pure spite. because you see, why strike at the rich and powerful who are the ones ruining your life when you can lynch a poor black person or deport a mexican right next to you? Why listen to facts when you can just listen to the soothing voice of someone who tells you you're genetically superior? Why beleive in human rights and equality when you can just lash out and hurt people without solving your actual problem? Sam Harris is a piece of poo poo animal.

The appeal of Murray is the idea that he seems to prove: Dumb <=> Poor <=> Black which is like the holy grail of conservative politics, all linked by the magic of IQ and meritocracy. The "dumb" part appeals to otherwise open-minded liberals who are often pretty meritocratic in their hearts, reinforced by academia and the professional world. If you want ur mom to stop liking Murray, just quote to her some of the poo poo at the end of The Bell Curve where he's talking about how we need clear draconian laws so stupid people aren't confused, and we need marriage to be powerful and regressive so that stupid people stay married, and we need to stop giving poor mothers money because we're just subsidizing stupid babies, and we need to stop immigration from stupid (brown-skinned) ethnicities.

I don't even think he knows what "idealogy" even means, because he misuses it constantly. He's done this before. He did the same thing to Davis Aurini and Jordan Owen after they faceplanted all over the internet with The Sarkeesian Effect disaster. Thunderf00t put out like a 20 minute video trashing them for being incompetent idiots and making people like him look like clowns with their antics, and then around the 10 minute mark pivoted wildly into just attacking Anita Sarkeesian and acting like a clown himself. Speaking of Jordan Owen, I see his dark night of the soul moment where he realized he'd hosed up his life being a dirty unemployed racist who hates ladies publicly on the internet is now over and he's back to being a dirty unemployed racist who hates ladies publicly on the internet. Though he has spiced things up a bit now by a dirty unemployed racist who hates ladies AND Donald Trump publicly on the internet. So, go Jordan! Hooray for personal development... you physically repulsive, irritable porn addict

I don't watch much PJW because his persona is almost as obnoxious as TL;DR. I watched the Tom Avella takedown of his modern culture video and even then, his manner of speaking made my teeth grind. "ARRT is suPOSED to be Up-LIFTING, but NOW, its HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING, DEGENERATE and EVIL" his weird emphasis on words and obsession with listing modifiers, adjectives or examples (like I just did lol) makes every sentence tedious.
