Idk when society started depending on twitch game streamers for political insight but it's really been fucking with my head. Sorry bro, WoW raid experience doesn't exactly translate to expert on international relations.
There are actually a few twitch streamers that have political experience who stream about politics. They've run for office, or worked in D.C., so they have some interesting insights.
No doubt, I wrote game streamer quite specifically - no background or education in politics, but have an audience carried from unrelated activities and influence it.
Hm, I mean I've known celebs to drop a comment on an issue close to them, or do an interview, start a charity - but how many pivoted to doing 16 hours of live political commentary, across all headlines and verticals, every day? These streamers have no credentials to be a pundit, yet still flood the feeds with their opinions. Seems like a distinct difference.
It's a lot easier to amplify shitty opinions through stealthily promoting shut-ins that "organically" spread the right poison than to try and turn a journalist or a legitimate artist into a mouth piece. Peter Theil probably loves boosting characters like this with bots.

I'm so fucking sick of youtube recommending his garbage, I spend most of my time on breadtube so i don't know how or why youtube decided I want to be reminded this waste of oxygen exists.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I have an idea why a major US corporation would absolutely love to shove a pro-Zionism and pro-fascism streamer down everyone's throats.
I've noticed he does a shit ton of videos on everything. I've looked up recent events like the NDP race card thing that happened recently in Canada and he was one of the only sources.
I think he has no life, and all he does is youtube videos, then he must get suggested by the algorithm that indexes his videos.
From your youtube wall, click the tree dots aligned vertically next to the title of the video under the thumbnail and select "Don't recommend this channel" from the drop down menu.
You will have to do this for his alt channels and the twich clip channels as you see them on your youtube wall. Very soon he should vanish and you won't hear about him except maybe from other channels who shits on him.
Very useful to get rid of shitty AI chanels as well.
Use YouTube Unhook if through a browser. Blocks all recommendations. Also good to stop doomscrolling shorts. Definitely recommended if most of your intentional youtube use is one channel (breadtube is a channel, right?)
People need to stop sharing his crap then, downvote these posts, all i hear about is how the guy is awful and stupid and for some reason people are like "let me share this awful stupid person others will like it"
I dont get it, if he sucks then dont repost crap dont make memes of him, let the rest of us who never heard of him enjoy actual good posts instead of posts about some dogshit streamer
Him and his fans deserve to be mocked. The next time you interact with a fan of his, ask them why he wont take an IQ test on stream if thinks Africans naturally have a lower IQ.
Yes. Firstly, iq tests have a bias to the culture that created them. It's based on the sorts of problems that that culture values. You can't use it to compare to different populations with different cultures.
Secondly, depending on what source you found, the study might have been run by racists with an agenda.
Thirdly, Africa is a huge continent with wildly varying cultures. You can just average those results together and get anything useful out of it, unless you have a racist agenda.
I linked a video that want into more detail, but Asmon was repeating a bad report that Afericans have a 70IQ. Even when the test wasn't made for them and it's dishonest to think that a different in IQ is meaningful in this instance, that's still a dishonest number.
He's huge on all the streaming platforms, so you can't really ignore him. Clueless people will have his content force fed to them by the algorithm, and some will end up becoming fans.
Pre-empting that by pointing out how much of a disgusting pathetic loser and worthless piece of shit he is might help someone make an informed choice before watching his content.
I can tell from your diminished reasoning abilities that you're probably an Asmongold fan. There's not much I can type here to help you, but I'll try to keep it short and use simple words and bullet points:
I have heard him talk
by hearing him talk, I have become informed about him
using this information, I have made the informed decision to not listen to him further
I can try simplifying it further if you still don't get it.
A guy who incels like to watch because he is one. Hikikomori/LDR type who stays in his room filled with trash and roaches and streams. Incels and other rightwingers listen to his political opinions because... yeah idk.
As of December 31, 2025, the U.S. had disbursed 58 percent of the $188 billion in spending related to the conflict (U.S. spending is first appropriated, then obligated, then disbursed).
Anyone saying Trump wasn't enthusiastically sending NATO arms and armor to the Ukrainian battlefront is either deeply misinformed our outright lying. The big difference between Biden and Trump, wrt Ukraine, was that Trump loved to get big beautiful photo-ops with Putin where they were both smiling and shaking hands. Meanwhile, Biden preferred photo-ops where he was frowning and shaking his head.
But look at the numbers in your second link. Biden gave Ukraine considerably more per year. With 60 Billion aid in 2024. In December 2024 a loan of 20 Billion was given. Since then no major aid bills have been passed.
Your link says the opposite of what you're arguing.
Stream of consciousness streamer + politics == hot shit... Asmongler was always fucked, but edgy attic dwelling yet mostly harmless and amusing to what he is now is quite a departure. It's like he took up the place on twitch to counter our favourite prada clad champagne socialist Hasan. The modern need for sychophancy is psychotic.
Reminder that during the entirety of Biden's 4 year term we saw job growth. Now we've seen 5 straight months of job loss under child rapist Donald Trump.
"Yeah, I mean yeah, no. I total agree with that, yeah, no. Yeah, I mean that just what it is, is it?. Yeah. No, Yeah. I mean... Yeah. What is this? I mean yeah, no."
Repeat for 6 hours.
Dude has literally the vocabulary of a fucking Etch A Sketch.
