Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you hate with a burning passion based on vibes alone. I am aware that youtubers are an inherently reactionary group of organisms ^[

It seems like he's a stupidpol guy who wants to reach the kind of people who like Jreg to get them to like social democracy by going against the stereotypical image of a leftist. I gotta say that it was nice at the beginning, the episode with Yung Chomsky was really good. But as it went on it started to acquire more and more of a "we're not like the woke left" vibe (pretty obvious when he invited Dasha, but I never watched that episode).
What is Jreg's deal? I've seen some of their videos and they're kinda funny, but he does give me sus vibes even though it's all satire.
Polcomp brain incarnate. I'm unsure if he actually believes in the political compass or just acts like he does as part of the bit under multiple layers of irony, but the result is the same.
I just think it's funny, yeah polcomp is stupid, but that is the point I think
I'm not casting any aspersions your way. I've been entertained by some of his videos as well.
He's doing a really good bit IMO, but it also means he's normalizing all the different ideologies he portrays. He seems to have a very young audience and a lot of them claim to be fascists or other far right ideologies, probably due to his influence.
He's not stupidpol, he's basically Adam Curtis redux. A radlib gawker from the sidelines.

Did Based_Ball call people radlib gawkers or something? I'm not understanding what you're saying/implying.
IDK but I do still think adding "the" to the slur filter would be a great bit.
i don't even know who Jreg is, but I know that Based_Ball is Jreg
IIRC he had
on who kind of pushed back on him being so self-serious
