What moderating effect do you think he has?

He’s genuinely a shitty guy. The fact that worse people exist doesn’t make him more acceptable.

He acknowledges his own shortcomings and emphasizes self examination. He's fairly anti corporate and generally follows his own values rather than the medias directions. To fairly dubious ends of course but there is still value in that.

I wouldn't recommend modeling your life on the man. But any minute that someone is watching asmon they aren't interacting with the right wing scamiverse that is hellbent on enslaving humanity and destroying the planet.

So I would call him a troll but I wouldn't call him shitty.

How is he shitty, lol?

His racism is a good place to start.

[–] TypicalHog@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

LOL Where and when was he racist? I need a source.

Funny how the BBC didn't quote asmongold (because then they'd have to mention the word 'genocide' twice). P. S.- not defending asmongold at all just the Palestinians.

He said inferior culture, not inferior race tho.

CULTURE != RACE

I think you’re nitpicking to avoid the obvious conclusion that he is racist and he sucks.

[–] TypicalHog@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

I think he's based AF!
