BUT MY LIVELIHOOD DEPENDS ON THE FORUMS!
If they’re tradcath then they want to go back to like canon law and pre-Vatican II church rules and want the world (or at least the West) to submit to church authority

If they’re Christian dominionist/nationalist or some kind of evangelical or born-again then it’s a 50/50 on whether they yearn for a theocratic state/society/world or whether they’re just straight up apocalypse cultists who think they’re in the end-times or want to bring them forth

And if they’re just sort of esoterically spiritual or vaguely Christian or some kind of self-described pagan or even agnostic, then it’s usually some kind of vague ‘return to nature/simpler times’ poo poo or ‘create an ethnostate’ poo poo, or both

Or all of the above, like with Kanye

It's been awhile but I think Grimbeard put some ghost hunting equipment into a stuffed pug creating Parapugtm. Then it got possessed or something.

I don't know why but once a week I think of the random gag where in the middle of his review it just randomly coughs.

I enjoyed that for a while Grimbeard would randomly get very angry at the humor in High on Life during his videos.

It reminds me of the people who get weirdly angry at the way Munecat pours beer.

Re: history recommendations: I like sharing the black pants legion video on the Christmas Bullet every chance I get because it seriously needs more views. It's done by a military historian with a masters in archival science it's the first thing he's done with proper history on the channel. https://youtu.be/4KH3Qou2omY?si=HveRGFsnrnS_0Kti

Before this he also does a whole series of a Ken Burns style approach to explaining battletech. https://youtu.be/c71x68uWd5k?si=D3uFAfAb3AcKM4uH

He doesn't do ad reads in his videos, and every major release goes to benefit charity. He's a pretty standup guy for a poo poo poster.

Wither munecat?

That's because the answer isn't very interesting. As in all cases involving extremely stupid conspiracy theories, it's a mix of total ignorance and the sad, stubborn refusal to change their minds if conflicting facts inconveniently show up.

"Why" is always "because Humans are stupid animals, and will never be able to raise above their station"

The thing is that imo there is actually kind of an interesting answer you could cook up to this question that would probably be appealing to all these conspiracy theorist wackos: that the threat of MAD has been the primary reason that we haven't had an actual major powers hot war since WWII. "A cabal of nations made up this nuke bullshit to solidify their global hegemony and also allow them to go around and do whatever they want to other nations not in their secret clique without fear of serious reprisal, oh and of course they all act like they hate each other and are divided into "sides" like BRICS vs NATO but that's actually bullshit they're all in on it and it's just a scheme to divide people and make them not realize we're all being controlled!111!!!" absolutely seems like the kind of thing you'd find flying around moron conspiracy circles these days.

its kind of the perfect shibboleth because dude is like 'i wanna gently caress 2b from nier and i love trans people' and one group of people is like 'how dare you, a man, say you want to gently caress' and another group of people is like 'how dare you love trans people'so they both send him pipebombs in the mail

It's a little cringe but that's all, it's not some horrible or immoral thing. Although I feel like this wouldn't have blown up nearly as much as it did if he just didn't quote tweet the original tweet to "clarify" that he was the one who made the video, causing his fans to go after her.

the main crime is that it's cringe, which a subset of the internet see as deserving of being destroyed as maniacally as possible rather than just something to laugh at and move on, see Sonichu et al.

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes someone reposts a funny joke that happens to have to be sourced from twitter and then someone brings up Elon Musk to shame someone for interacting with Twitter in any possible way and it makes me want to inflict looney tunes level of implausible and humiliating but also clearly harmless simulated violence upon that poster (actionable threat)
