Near the end, 41:00 and onward, you get some really good copypasta-ques badpolitics:

Trump is apparently a manifestation of the will of the people(Despite having the lowest favorability ratings of any of the candidates.) And him losing will just lead to a Julius Caesar-like figure rising in his place.(Because reasons.)

Reminder that people take this guy's half-baked political ideas seriously.

I live in the UK, and there was an EDL (English Defence League, neo-fascist, anti-Islam nationalist group) march in my county a while ago. I went to go have a look and some of the marchers were legit holding up signs that said "SARGON OF AKKAD" on them, complete with his profile picture. It's kinda fucked up how much influence he has.

[–]patch173 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (7子コメント)

No way would that have happened. Seems so random

[–]FAN_ROTOM_IS_SCARY 53 ポイント54 ポイント  (6子コメント)

People took photos. It seriously happened.

[–]patch173 43 ポイント44 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Jesus fucking Christ...sargon also adamntly claims to not be right wing either.

[–]Dughur 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, just because some of his fans are right-wing doesn't mean he is personally right wing.

[–]AiskhulosMarx gets 50k for a verse 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Jesus Christ. And that dude is not some teenager. That's a fucking middle age man.

[–]OrangeAdventure 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I just looked up his age and you're right, he's 36. I had no fucking idea, from how half baked his politics are and how much he whines about "SJWs" I figure he wasn't any older than his mid 20s.

[–]Dr_Nolla 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I find it amusing how he is basically what he claims to be against.

[–]Analegend 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wait Sargon is older than 20?

Jesus fucking christ, When I have argued with him I thought he was like 19-20 at best.

[–]Valaquen 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Sargon's just went and interviewed Tommy Robinson, too. His subscribers are lapping it up.

Is your brother named Anthony Fantano?

[–]mikepaco 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I had to look this up. That's really disappointing, but not all that surprising. Some of his rants in his alternate channel were setting off alarms in my head.

[–]Otend 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

no, but he does watch him

[–]Daedalus1907Socialist Authoritarian Interventionist Bleeding-Heart Libertine 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Does fantano do political videos?

[–]OrangeAdventure 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (3子コメント)

He doesn't make serious political videos, but on his second channel thatistheplan he makes jokey shitposts about trigger warnings. Those videos totally pander to MRAs, which is disappointing because from what I gathered from throwaway comments in his music reviews, he always seemed to me to be a pretty progressive guy.

[–]Dr_Nolla 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

he always seemed to me to be a pretty progressive guy.

I somehow find this funny.

[–]OrangeAdventure 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I meant that what I inferred from his comments before he started actually opining on politics.

[–]Dr_Nolla 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mostly meant that if you were to say SJW over MRA you would get a lot of shit, you know?

[–]Townsend_Harris 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

this guy's

Which guy?

Edit: No seriously, which guy? Trump or Sargon?

[–]Otend 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

sargon

[–]Townsend_Harris 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean the statement half-baked political ideas really applies to both =)

[–]occams_nightmareSchrodinger's Politic 74 ポイント75 ポイント  (2子コメント)

God these people are so certain that some rainbow-haired feminist or Black Lives Matter protestor is going to assassinate Trump that it's almost like they want it.

[–]Terran117Commies are literally Hitler 52 ポイント53 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Of course they'd want it because the two outcomes are favorable to them.

  1. Trump lives. His survival makes "CAN'T STUMP THE TRUMP" rhetoric blast out of control and he becomes a God like figure.

  2. Trump dies. The threat of the left would shock the right wing si much that the alt right would get a new and more radical figure to support or there would be some sort of alt right uprising among conservatives in the USA.

[–]Townsend_Harris 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Think of the dank memes though

[–]exejpgwmv[S] 49 ポイント50 ポイント  (7子コメント)

R2: As I explained in the main post: This is literally the opposite of true. Trump has the lowest favorablity rating of any canidate: Source

There is no sign that the American government is "spiraling out of control", and Trump is a by product of it. Trump is someone who's taken advantage of years of right-wing rhetoric and taken it to the extreme.

[–]Silverkin 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (4子コメント)

If Trump faborablity is so low, how is he leading the GOP primaries?

[–][deleted] 33 ポイント34 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Republican primary voters are a subset of the general population.

[–]exejpgwmv[S] 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's taken advantage of a particular subset of the republican party that really got into the rhetoric against Dems in recent years. But that subset doesn't represent the majority of people.

[–][deleted] 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's winning 40% of 40%.

[–]OrangeAdventure 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lots of people watch Fox News.

[–]Dughur 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Legitimately curious: If he's so unfavorable, why has he been winning so far?

[–]exejpgwmv[S] 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Simple: General public opinion =/= Opinion of people in the far-right Republican party.

The worst thing is that I googled "Sargon of Akkad" and the first thing that popped up was the YT channel. Poor, poor, Sargon.

[–]Analegend 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ironically(?), Sargon of Akkad did crush womens rights.

[–]bobloblawrmsSocialist Anarchist Interventionist Bleeding-Heart Libertine 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (10子コメント)

You see, I would click on that link, but I don't want to get a million Sargon videos in my youtube recomendations.

I've had that exact same problem before with thunderf00t and TheAmazingAtheist and I'm not even sure why

And over the past week or soI've also been getting a bunch of MundaneMatt reccs

I think if you watch videos about those people you'll get their videos in your reccomendations.

I'm currently being spammed with fucking Michio Kaku videos. I think I made the mistake a few months ago of clicking on a Big Think video featuring one of his many inane political rambles, and ever since then my recommendations have been filled with his useless Big Think videos.

I think YouTube is just trolling me at this point.

[–]SuperAlbertN7 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I got his video recommended in the side of a Clone Wars AMV. I suspect I should take this as confirmation that he is a sith.

[–]OrangeAdventure 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Same thing happened to me, I watched a Milo Yiannapoulus (sp?) interview once and my YouTube recommended page was nothing but gamergate shit for a while.

Gosh, at least the amazing athiest doesn't hate trans people or muslims. Sargon... bothers me -_-

[–][deleted] 42 ポイント43 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I abhor this dude. Now he seriously thinks Trump is some savior of the people? What is he smoking? There is no logical way to come to that conclusion. This guy panders to right-wing neckbeards that whine about feminists but I never knew he was actually crazy.

I keep feeling like someone gave me a Cliff Notes on this guy but I forgot it almost instantly.

Also, the Julius Caesar thing is bad history albeit somewhat common. By the time he seized power, he was in a long line of de facto strongman tyrants of Rome going back to the assassination of the Gracchus brothers; you can almost see a progression of the stakes and more naked power grabs rising over a century until Augustus becomes Emperor.

Caesar didn't just appear out of a vacuum as there were far more systemic issues with governance and stability than are seen in American politics today.

[–]KatamariguyMarxism-Leninism-Obamunism 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Does he really view himself as a talking bust rather than a person?

[–]JacobTheCow 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

eh, I don't think that's what we should give him shit for, I can understand not wanting to show your face publicly like that, but still wanting some kind of figure to 'present' his videos

[–][deleted] 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes, but does it have to be a beloved Near Eastern figure?

Hasn't the people of the United States commited enough evil against us poor, brown savages?

Why? Why won't the horror end? weeps in semitic

[–][deleted] 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

OF COURSE he's a Trump supporter.

[–]AscendedFalcon 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I could have sworn at some point that this guy said that he wasn't a Trump supporter when someone who didn't like him said that he was.
