The first time i know about his existence is when i stumbled upon one of his videos when i was googling GamerGate to know what the hell was it about, He used the N word at least 2 times when i decided that i have heard enough of his racist BS.
Plus he is pro brexit lol

Alt righters think that if they are articulate and speak with a british accent they have to be intelligent.

I watched ShoeOnHead's videos from time to time, and now my feed is only people like Argon.
I don't get how someone like Argon can be so pissed off the second someone not of his "kind" speaks up. What are you so afraid of losing?

They're in the same camp so it makes sense you'd be getting Sargon videos.

This makes me sad, because ShoeOnHead can be quite funny, and she's mocking pretty stupid videos. She in general doesn't seem to hate feminism, just people complaining for nothing.
Might just have to stop watching her

His videos sometimes pop up in my recommendations.
Occasionally I watch a few minutes and think to myself that this guy can't have an audience with this bullshit, then I scroll to the comments and see nicknames like "Feminism is cancer" and I lose hope in humanity.

I don't think the alt right are known for their faith either.
Something something safe spaces something something.

She was quick to jump in bed with Gamergate. She has a video called oppresion quest or something in which she discusses her take on the Zoe Quinn thing. Let's just say it begins with her putting on a blue wig and mocking Zoe Quinn. Then later she sources such reliable things such as as EncyclopediaDramatica, and her association to MundaneMatt. Basically an all around terrible person.

I adored her when she was boxxy.

Because idiots think having an English accent = smart, despite, of course, English accents being quite diverse and having their own stereotypes associated with class, ethnicity, and region like here in the US, which means people of various levels of intelligence and kindness can speak the same accent. Hopefully the Brexit will help shake up the stereotype...
or it might just mean people start using Scottish accents to sound smart.
Thanks so much for telling me this. No more dealing with that shitstain in my recommendations.
Is that really a difference? I haven't seen much religious fundamentalism from the alt right.
People with no critical thinking skills believe that Youtubers are somehow 'honest' by definition because they are just 'normal individuals'.

Does it hurt the BLM cause if a white person, like me, just starts beating the shit out of All Lives Matter and anti-BLM people?
I'm becoming genuinely spiteful of my own culture for being so stupid.

After the Cheerios commercial, this isn't surprising. Hope the best for Francesca an co.
And this asshole is supposedly "left-wing"? Now the Reuters article showing 1/4 Democrats are racist start to make some sense.

Same. I've always been subscribed to video game channels that thankfully never cared for this shit. (Closest being Jim Sterling.)
So I'm glad to be behind the loop of any of this.
Never heard of him till this thread. Similarly to how I never heard of Leafy, Keemstar, etc till recently. The less popular assholes I'm aware of, the better.

This is the first time I've heard the term "alt-left", and I'd say it applies, but it sure is interesting that the alt-left and the alt-right both hate black people.
When I say interesting, I mean "not surprising".
I guess those two cases of individuals doing things under the BLM name totally means you can discredit it. We had our chance and we blew it guys. Now everybody knows we're just a hate group.
I don't even think either of those things have anything to do with BLM thinking about it.

BLM's execution is (real) sloppy, but I'm not gonna accept those that want to paint the whole movement AND its intent as something that isn't simply about wanting the law/government to treat black people equally as well as everyone else.
"brogressive" is some damn good ether.

It's a device. Claims to be liberal, espouses all the worst positions of the social-conservative/white supremacist right.
He's a trash human being.

That "Why Do Black People Commit More Crime" video is still awful and how he uses that data to absolve a mythical concept like "White Supremacy" is deliberate.

I suppose that alt media sets itself up as being an alternative to mainstream media that is heavily influenced by governments and media moguls. But I would question how really free some self proclaimed alt media is from those influences. Especially outlets that are highly political and have access to insider sources that would suggest that they are very deeply hand in glove with intelligence agencies.
^This should be the tagline for his channel. You summed up his raison d'être perfectly.
I'm subbed and not because I share his views but because I like to hear views alternate to mine. I think it's healthy to get into the mindset of the ''other side'' every now and again. With that said, he can construct a decent argument and is a fairly good debater. I understand why he has a following.
The depressing irony in all of this is how Russian intelligence has been directly linked to influencing and fanning the flames of the alt right (and plain old far right) as part of their operation to destabilize Europe. They have really ramped up their information warfare as a means to compensate for their lesser military might, and this might be one of their crowning acheivements.
It's our accents. You can spout any ol' bollocks if you have a middle-class accent and
What am I supposed to be seeing here? (it's over an hour long) Does he slip up in this or something? I'm not defending him, I do think he's a very troubled individual but he can speak eloquently and I've seen a few videos where he's fighting the 'losing' side and still 'won' the debate.
YouTubers like this rely on spamming their subscribers feeds with clickbait-y hot topic titles. When said 'content' creators 'debate' each other it can lead to hilarity.
It's so fucking annoying. I saw one video of Louis CK making a joke about feminists and now my recommendations are full of anti-feminist fuckwites.
I discovered Sargon and other "anti establishment" political commentators- Dave Rubin, Milo, Sargon etc.- about a year ago. They have been an interesting bunch to watch, let me tell ya that. Rubin and Sargon especially claim to be "the real liberals" for lambasting movements like BLM and Feminism and fair enough- they should be able to say whatever the fuck they want (in accordance with free speech), but the level of misinformation is dangerous, and unfortunately their followers ironically ignore the other side while fettishizing their own.
I don't think you become more informed by letting literal shit into your ears and brain.
I promise you, you are wasting your precious limited time on this Earth by watching his bigoted bullshit.

I really wish you hadn't reminded me of this fool. Christ that guy is a droning, blathering idiot with the most punchable face ever.
Why oh why does anyone, anywhere listen to these tools?

It's a confusing scene since they both lie to exaggerate the popularity of their efforts and deny that they have any interest in influencing people overseas at the same time.
Being informed isn't the purpose. Just to clear it up, I'm not an avid viewer or anything and usually find myself clicking off after a few minutes anyway. Also, pre- and post-Brexit I wanted to hear as many different opinions on the referendum before deciding to be a Remain voter.
Note: I know you're not defending him I just don't don't think he's really that good of a debater.
To give an example for most of the video he kind of wanders away from the main motion to talk about things that aren't really relevant to the subject at hand.
He also acts kind of passive aggressive and dismissive for parts of the debate doing stuff like fake yawning or an air violin gesture.
If they spent a week over here they'd have that notion knocked out of them proper quick.
Actually, post-brexit, make that 20mins

what the hell is this? In what way is this guy a leftist?
And what the hell is the Alt left?
Maybe you guys are just on some 'derp radical left is the same as the radical right' kool aid because in reality the radical left is on the forefront of anti-racism since forever.
pretty appropriate spelling error tbh
I listen to both sides of the argument at length and I've watched my share of Sargon videos to find the flaw in his argument. I've never seen anything but a person who tries to be egalitarian and apply his reasoning consistently across topics.
In fact his DePaul university video is actually really good. It's pretty shocking the level of detail he went into. And the level of empathy he had for the man he called into question was tangible.
I think people need a reality check on what discourse means. If you can't listen to the opposition then what fucking use are you in a conversation.

ShoeOnHead is pretty anti-feminist, and she's a gamergator. Nearly every video she makes is about shitting on feminism. Of course you're getting Sargon Of Akkad videos, along with all the other alt-right Youtubers like Amazing Atheist, Thunderfoot, Alpha Omega Sin, MrRepzion. I'm not sure why you even started watching her without knowing this, considering she's been at this for years.
