Not only are the countries he is saying have “fine” refugees don’t even speak English as an official language, Africa as a continent has the largest amount of countries that speak English:
Most other African countries speak French, Spanish or another European language as an official language. So what is the issue here? Many Africans have immigrated to Western countries and have integrated fine. It’s insane that Twitch is allowing this kind of rhetoric to be displayed in full velocity on this platform.
Since when is this dude a political streamer. Wasn’t he popular for WoW and he was a PoS then. Why is anybody listening to what he has to say now?
It’s the natural progression for a 20-something piece-of-shit gamer edgelord. When he hits middle age he pivots into being a miserable racist piece-of-shit bore.
Seems that there’s an endless amount of money for right wing social and political commentators.
This is it.
All you need is to parrot what more popular accounts say and have a phone and you can make money as a political streamer.
which russia is happy to pay, the political grifters went silent immediately when people found out they were being paid/consultancy through a llc backed by russia.
He is 35 years old. Just imagine that. 35 years old and still not capable to use the brain properly.
He was never smart. And he still lives with his parents. And he doesn’t even go to a dentist. He is representing a lot of central US people.
Middle age?!
Yeah that was my assumption because he looks middle-aged to me. Found out after I wrote that he’s like 35? How the fuck can you look that haggard when you’re a 30-something content creator raking in the money from your parents’ basement!
Man, I’d look elderly to you I guess. How old are you?
I’m middle aged.
I wish people would just come to terms with the fact that gaming, for whatever reason, seems to breed these ballsack-looking conservative gamers who are willing to do anything and everything to avoid having to keep down a real job. I’ve met a dozen of them in my life and they’re all the same. They’re all rich kids who couldn’t survive a single performance review.
he discovered the grift and decided to get in on it. Even his father called him out on it after he called Palestinians “inferior”. that’s all this is. He’s an act, a con artist, a grifter.
a guy that claimed streaming on his main asmongold account and getting paid with subs was “too stressful and causing anxiety” thus started streaming on an alt account that eventually became bigger than his main and makes him more money too.
And the people that watch him are just morons of the lowest caliber.
I think he must attract a certain amount of viewers from the “train wreck” effect. He literally was using the stench from the sun hitting a decomposing rat corpse in his room as an “alarm clock” for a while. He has had roaches crawl across him live and not reacted.
So I can kind of understand getting some sort of twisted satisfaction that you’re doing better, or having the same sort of fascination people have with train wrecks and disasters.
What I don’t get is why anyone cares about his takes on anything. The man willingly lives in decomposing filth. He’s clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.
When the fuck did Asmongold become the largest POLITICAL streamer?
He went from games, to reacts, to the largest political just because he says stupid hateful MAGA shit?
When he discovered it’s an easy grift, and even easier way to get attention which is what he really wants. Dude is a sad little man child, constantly searching for adoration. These are not deeply held, or even shallowly held beliefs he’s just doing whatever gets his audience to be nice to him.
Because people are getting dumber. It used to be Ben Shabibo with his logical gymnastics, but now with the average right wingers getting dumber they don’t need that shit, now they’re just flocking to people like Assmongold and Charlie Kirk who just shouts keywords and that’ll activate their neurons.
That’s all. His chuds look for validation by finding a big streamer to regurgitate their views. Doesn’t matter that his only life experience is rotting in front of WoW. Doesn’t matter that he used the sunlight hitting a dead rat as an alarm clock. Doesn’t matter that his teeth bleed.
Please keep in mind this is a guy who, quite seriously, this is not made up…
… used to use a dead rat in his pigsty of a room as an alarm clock.
The sun would come in through the window, bake the rat corpse to the point of a striking pungent smell, and this is what would wake him up.
Again, I am not making this up, just a year or twoish back he earnestly explained this to all his viewers.
The man also very, very rarely brushes his teeth, and has frequent issues with his gums bleeding.
This is your basement dweller 4chan addict, who just so happened to win the streamer popularity contest.
On basically any topic other than World of Warcraft, he has no fucking clue what he is talking about.
Honestly, and I know I’m gonna get downvoted for this again, but he makes a surprising amount of sense in a lot of topics he touches and it often seems like his responses are well thought through and quite eloquent.
And that’s exactly the problem. It makes it really easy for some people to fall for his batshit crazy bullshit takes and it makes him a lot more dangerous than if he was just some crazy Maga nut.
He also addresses a lot of the struggles his predominantly young male audience experiences. Something, pretty much everyone else fails to do. And his arguments only really fall apart once you invest quite some time to look deeper into the matter.
Disregarding Asmongold as just a crazy basement dweller with dead rats in his house might be easy but it’s severely underestimating the danger that this man poses if we don’t find ways to offer a better save space for his target audience. Although, Dr. K. is doing god’s work here!
Hey, engaging in good faith here:
Yeah, I get that a socially stunted basement dweller ‘elder gamer’ is indeed appealing to and relatable with a younger generation of basically the same.
And I totally get that many, many people are just highly dismissive of and rude toward such socially awkward people, which reinforces the entire dynamic… when what they should be is more appealing to, sympathetic and empathetic to the younger disaffected crowd, that are basically scared and confused and angry kids, many of whom could be easily set toward a better path in life and development of their world view if … just anyone would actually make them feel heard.
I really, really do get that, as I myself come from a right wing family, and genuienly didn’t even realize how fucked up a good deal of my young beliefs were, how self-destructive some of my own behaviors were, untill I actually encountered and got to spend a lot of time with people less shitty than my family, irl… granted this was 20-30 years ago, I think I am roughly the same age as Asmon, so this was… back when computers and video games were actually niche, weirdo nerd things, not the widespread bog standard for children’s socialization.
I have no argument with any of that.
I do however request at least one actual example of Asmon having a take on literally anything that is… lets say, more well thought out and reasoned than a high school sophomore’s 5 page book report.
… And in saying that, I am now remembering that American literacy rates and scores have plummeted since I got out of high school, I think within +/- 2 ish years of myself graduating from college, that was the actual high point for average American literacy levels…
Maybe my standard of ‘well reasoned and thoughtful’ just objectively is higher than the modern standard.
Hrm.
How do you then reset the alarm so it doesn’t smell? Do you refrigerate it or freeze it?
This dude has been a well known shit head for years. It’s not surprising to see him continue to be a well known shit head. Twitch, like most platforms, doesn’t actually care what people say, as long as it drives engagement.
I still remember tuning in to see what his stream is about and he is explaining why having a confederate flag is important to texans (not sure if it was texans, been a while)
him and hasan seems to have some of kind beef going, yea the drama is helping thier engagement.
Ragefarming seems the only form of content lately… So sad…
It’s so hard to find enclaves on the internet that aren’t just reposting the same ragebait over and over.
Yeah agree still one of the things I love from Lemmy is that is more wholesome. Is not perfect yes, but way better interactions than any other place I’ve been to.
Same dude who got temp-banned from Twitch for actively calling for the literal genocide of Palestinians. Asmon is a piece of shit.
Sometimes I think these posts are made by insincere racist dickheads like him to actually recruit more people to his side with fake out-rage over real problems
isn’t this also the same guy who said he’s ok with the genocide of Palestinians? (source)
Yep, he is pro trump and elon and anything nazi. But most of it is just his lack of intelligence. He will read a twitter post and 1sec later pronounce it as the truth on stream, without having any source. Hes a propaganda echo and unfortunately reflects the average American gamer pretty well. Should have stuck to gaming.
and his followers eat this right up and probably parrot it off elsewhere…that’s both sad and infuriating
what a cunt.
it’s obvious he doesn’t even understand what a refugee is
and then goes on to say “why would you add people to your country that don’t speak the language” in English and not the native tongue of the tribe that the land was stolen from
and what the fuck did he think happened to Poles who moved to the US 100 years ago? They weren’t even considered “white.”
Ukrainians in 2022 were considered “almost european”, as in, almost “civilized”
An absolute retard calling others retards, the irony is just hilarious…52k ppl tuning in to a dude spouting hate and nonsense in front of 30 bucks mic calling him self a political streamer, he’s not even qualified for an actual job …god, I hate tge internet
Human trash
He lives in his own shit. Literally. He used a dead rat as an alarm. This man is disgusting in so many meanings of the word.
Oh god, that dude. I’d just managed to block the memory of this out.
How does one use a dead rat as an alarm?
Edit: another comment answers this below. Jesus. Fuck.
The stupid beady-eyed prick is being a stupid beady-eyed prick.
THE MAN LET RATS ROT IN HIS HOUSE AND CALLED IT HIS “ALARM CLOCK.”
One thing I dislike about streamers is when you can tell they are using their voice in a “hey you should take me seriously, I am obviously right” kind of tone, and are good at that, but the actual words are just repeating a common opinion and devoid of much any substance or argument. Like they think adjusting the way they say something makes them more right.
Only heard about him for the first time recently, in the context of the Stop Killing Games initiative. He spoke in support of it (which is a good thing, yay), and is apparently involved in some way in the drama that gave SKG the boost it needed.
Trying to figure out who the hell he is and how he ties into it, I watched one of his videos on YouTube (reacting to someone else’s video about SKG). Instantly got the impression that he’s an asshole… But at least he’s on the right side when it comes to SKG.
Dude is the living incarnation of Nurgle. If I told you the stories you’d think I’m making them up or smth lmao
There is a reason he’s commonly called asswithmold
He used to play world of Warcraft and seems good at it, at least in the old stuff. Then he got famous and now he’s the guy to watch if you like unhinged untreated mental illnesses. Beats me why anyone cares what this neckbeard thinks. It’s not like he’s done anything with his life
Skg is happy to have any support it can, just keep your cockroaches and dead rat alarm clock on your side of the infinitely wide room.
Oh great, so SKG is another gamer-based alt right recruitment tool or something?
Famous racist spouts racist misinformation. Is this really worthy of a post?
Considering that he is only famous in very narrow circles. And even those like myself who knew of him from his wow days. Had no fucking clue he was somehow twitch’s top political streamer? I’d say those are all important things to get out there. I mean like what the fuck. What the actual fuck. There is no hope for Humanity.
he started fellating for trump last year and beefing another “political influencer” hasan.
Hassan has had some particularly shit takes himself. Though honestly I’m not aware of a political YouTuber that hasn’t. That said if I stumbled into a disagreement between Hassan and asmon accidentally. It doesn’t matter what day or what topic it is. I would side with Hassan long before asmon.
Asmon is the definition of a disgusting, unkempt ignorant incel armchair quarterback. Despite where Hassan and I might sometimes disagree. He is actually educated. Has some idea of what he’s talking about. And is generally out there doing the right thing. So of course it makes a lot of sense that so many people would latch on to a stupid dumbass speaking with confidence over someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. That is after all how Trump got where he is.
