Right-leaning streamer Asmongold suggested law enforcement “use actual ammo” against some protesters and should “absolutely” shoot on sight: “You’d really be surprised how fast it stops after more than one or two people get shot for being violent”

The second they start using live rounds, it becomes a civil war. Arm yourselves now, because they're going to start using live ammunition soon.

It's absolutely headed this direction and at least for now we outnumber them.

They are using this word to invoke the insurrectionist act. They need MAGa fomented enough that they can do it without “political loss.”

From another article about his roundtable.

No, insisted ICE Barbie — they are invaders. They are traitors. They are “just as dangerous” as MS-13, Isis and Hamas. Her priority is “making sure they never see the light again.” This, by the way, is the woman who grandstanded about “staring down” Antifa when footage showed it was actually a couple of photographers and a guy in a chicken suit.

Asmongold is doing this for money because he's an untalented little greebo that, if sitting on your arse talking nonsense about video games wasn't a career, would have been living with his disappointed parents for the rest of their lives.

Watters is a creep who infamously slashed his now-wife's tires to force her to accept a lift from him when he was dating her. He's a less charismatic, talented, or substantial Tucker Carlson -- and that's saying something, because Carlson is a hollow, pathetic weirdo too.

These two freaks do this because they need attention, and need the money that attention brings.

It's a shame that attention brings money, in this system.
