I can't wait for the next Sargon video where he decries getting a restraining order as harassment



the video is just bearing poo poo where he makes fun of the idea of anita sarkeesian trying to get a restraining order against someone at her panel

from what i can tell, she neither sought nor obtained such an order

What irks me about that guy is, while I am distinctly American and have only Irish ancestry, I really get the feeling a lot of Irish folks would get offended at his constant talk of "the glories of Western civilization." Basically, lumping Irish and British in the same pot and presumably extolling the British Empire's brutality.

And while I am American, I know enough about the history of Irish-American persecution, of how they weren't even considered "proper whites" and it just makes me want to punch this smug moron.

I've watched a good bit of his stuff. I'm no big fan of Corbyn like he is (Corbyn is a drat sight better than May or the other alternatives in the UK though), but on his main move of doing a hit piece on the man-o-sphere is pretty good. I wonder if he's hit the bottom of that well for the current MRA pundit class, but if there's one thing I've seen it's that it is pretty easy to go on, spout the same bullshit, and get a bit of a following from the same basement dwellers. Especially if the money for this stays there for awhile, I expect many new entrants into the man-o-sphere, since it's the only chance most of these guys have at moving out of their parent's house.

the man-o-sphere stuff is a personal favourite of mine, though its mostly contained to r/theredpill; "How To Get Laid Like A Warlord: 36 Steps" n' poo poo are just so good

I think I saw Stefan on a documentary about internet cults. Does he have a podcast where encourages people to abandon their parents? It was about some sad teenager who just left her family one day without telling them because she listened to this podcast, then lived in some tiny apartment for months and realized the podcast was crazy.

If your pick-up plan involves more steps than "Crush your enemies" and "Hear the lamentation of their woman", it's probably false advertising to describe it as Warlord-like.

Yup, it's the whole "de-FOOing" (Family of Origin) thing he preaches in between complaining about how women are too nice to assholes and how taxes are theft. The cult comparison is pretty well earned at this point, but if you have that "rational and neutral POV", him pushing this position is just a sane as a transgender person disconnecting from their family because they don't accept their gender identity. This is literally the argument that was given, because your political persuasion should obviously be protected and above basic scrutiny.

Molyneux is a fairly standard crazy libertarian. I have acquaintances that actually listen to him for reasons I cannot fathom. Agree or disagree, the guy never uses five words when fifty would also serve the purpose. I have to think that the longwindedness of his stuff is because he wants to filter out anyone other than people who just fall for his poo poo completely-- sort of like how 419 scammers have horrible English grammar in them to ensure everyone smart enough to see through the scam just walks away immediately instead of wasting their time and still not sending them any money.

I'm getting the impression that a lot of people burn out when they hit the full-time income stage. I mean sure, suddenly you finally have all the time in the world to devote to your channel. Problem is that the success of your channel and its videos now determine if you eat. I've been watching John Wolfe for a couple of years and ever since he started doing it full-time he has intermittently dropped videos about how Youtube as a platform essentially pidgeon-holes him into staying with what made him successful in the first place (garbage horror game LPs) and that any time he has tried to break out of this he quickly gets punished in search results which immediately leads to falling ad-revenue. I'd imagined that this had gotten worse over the last few months with Youtube itself losing a lot of its ad-partners (and thus devaluing ad-time) and yesterday he dropped the funniest apology for product placements I've ever seen. A man has got to eat I suppose.

LGR likes what he does, but he said he was devoting so much time and feeling like he was at work 24/7 it was killing gaming and retro computing as a hobby for him. He rents some studio space or something to compartmentalize his life

full time youtube is inherently very very difficult to pull off if you're one person because you either a. have to make compromises and take more time making the good poo poo or b. become cripplingly unhappy until you sell your soul because you're not able to make the good poo poo

to be an efficient, good full time youtuber you have to be both great and efficient at everything at the same time. i have yet to see a mere mortal that can handle all of those things.

It's a little like the psychology of Eco's Ur fascism where the enemy is at both once incredibly weak and incredibly strong. They see themselves in that way.

They're at once smarter than everyone else but under theat from every angle, wheras in reality they've never had to worry about starving, being bombed or shot. Never dealt with real institutional discrimination, had most of the advantages in life and are aggressively mediocre in every facet of their lives.
