I can't believe a WoW streamer is the lead conservative commentator right now. What a weird time line.
Or does Fox / OAN still beat these online guys?
Not that weird when you think about how much effort has been put into rightwing propaganda in online games. Bannon was recruiting fash in WoW general chat like 20 years ago
I always forget that. So weird lol.
It's also a time where being a huge dumbass is a better argument for fascism and the fascist project's ongoing atrocities for "normie" fascists than bean shabibo's having to attempt making an actual argument in favor. Instead the mold bug can just say "Yeah, based, this guy's a terrorist"
Ya it's interesting that the audience looking for the faux intellectualism of debate pro Shapiro or Professor/Pseudo-Father Peterson seems to be waning. It's like people know the logical arguments suck and want to embrace the shitty aspects without having to embrace it.
Could also be that he's more situated for the new, rising audience of Gen Z's streamer culture instead of the millennial's YouTube video culture, too.
Either way, it does seem to be the logical evolution of 4chan and /pol/.
It comes down to audience age. Fox and OAN surely dominate for viewers over 45, but 18-45 is dominated by streamers and YouTubers.
Ya thinking about it more, that did occur to me. I always forget how old I am and that a new generation is rising into adulthood that will now be catered to as i once was as a millennial.
