Not only are the countries he is saying have "fine" refugees don't even speak English as an official language, Africa as a continent has the largest amount of countries that speak English:

Most other African countries speak French, Spanish or another European language as an official language. So what is the issue here? Many Africans have immigrated to Western countries and have integrated fine. It's insane that Twitch is allowing this kind of rhetoric to be displayed in full velocity on this platform.

Only heard about him for the first time recently, in the context of the Stop Killing Games initiative. He spoke in support of it (which is a good thing, yay), and is apparently involved in some way in the drama that gave SKG the boost it needed.

Trying to figure out who the hell he is and how he ties into it, I watched one of his videos on YouTube (reacting to someone else's video about SKG). Instantly got the impression that he's an asshole.. But at least he's on the right side when it comes to SKG.

It's so hard to find enclaves on the internet that aren't just reposting the same ragebait over and over.

Since when is this dude a political streamer. Wasn't he popular for WoW and he was a PoS then. Why is anybody listening to what he has to say now?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 141 points 23 hours ago (8 children)

It's the natural progression for a 20-something piece-of-shit gamer edgelord. When he hits middle age he pivots into being a miserable racist piece-of-shit bore.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 67 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Seems that there’s an endless amount of money for right wing social and political commentators.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 31 points 22 hours ago

This is it.

All you need is to parrot what more popular accounts say and have a phone and you can make money as a political streamer.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 19 hours ago

which russia is happy to pay, the political grifters went silent immediately when people found out they were being paid/consultancy through a llc backed by russia.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 22 hours ago

He is 35 years old. Just imagine that. 35 years old and still not capable to use the brain properly.

He was never smart. And he still lives with his parents. And he doesn’t even go to a dentist. He is representing a lot of central US people.

he discovered the grift and decided to get in on it. Even his father called him out on it after he called Palestinians "inferior". that's all this is. He's an act, a con artist, a grifter.

a guy that claimed streaming on his main asmongold account and getting paid with subs was "too stressful and causing anxiety" thus started streaming on an alt account that eventually became bigger than his main and makes him more money too.

And the people that watch him are just morons of the lowest caliber.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

I think he must attract a certain amount of viewers from the "train wreck" effect. He literally was using the stench from the sun hitting a decomposing rat corpse in his room as an "alarm clock" for a while. He has had roaches crawl across him live and not reacted.

So I can kind of understand getting some sort of twisted satisfaction that you're doing better, or having the same sort of fascination people have with train wrecks and disasters.

What I don't get is why anyone cares about his takes on anything. The man willingly lives in decomposing filth. He's clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.

When the fuck did Asmongold become the largest POLITICAL streamer?

He went from games, to reacts, to the largest political just because he says stupid hateful MAGA shit?

[–] brognak@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 19 hours ago

When he discovered it's an easy grift, and even easier way to get attention which is what he really wants. Dude is a sad little man child, constantly searching for adoration. These are not deeply held, or even shallowly held beliefs he's just doing whatever gets his audience to be nice to him.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Because people are getting dumber. It used to be Ben Shabibo with his logical gymnastics, but now with the average right wingers getting dumber they don't need that shit, now they're just flocking to people like Assmongold and Charlie Kirk who just shouts keywords and that'll activate their neurons.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

That's all. His chuds look for validation by finding a big streamer to regurgitate their views. Doesn't matter that his only life experience is rotting in front of WoW. Doesn't matter that he used the sunlight hitting a dead rat as an alarm clock. Doesn't matter that his teeth bleed.

Same dude who got temp-banned from Twitch for actively calling for the literal genocide of Palestinians. Asmon is a piece of shit.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

Sometimes I think these posts are made by insincere racist dickheads like him to actually recruit more people to his side with fake out-rage over real problems

Please keep in mind this is a guy who, quite seriously, this is not made up...

... used to use a dead rat in his pigsty of a room as an alarm clock.

The sun would come in through the window, bake the rat corpse to the point of a striking pungent smell, and this is what would wake him up.

Again, I am not making this up, just a year or twoish back he earnestly explained this to all his viewers.

The man also very, very rarely brushes his teeth, and has frequent issues with his gums bleeding.

This is your basement dweller 4chan addict, who just so happened to win the streamer popularity contest.

On basically any topic other than World of Warcraft, he has no fucking clue what he is talking about.

[–] XM34@feddit.org 28 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Honestly, and I know I'm gonna get downvoted for this again, but he makes a surprising amount of sense in a lot of topics he touches and it often seems like his responses are well thought through and quite eloquent.

And that's exactly the problem. It makes it really easy for some people to fall for his batshit crazy bullshit takes and it makes him a lot more dangerous than if he was just some crazy Maga nut.

He also addresses a lot of the struggles his predominantly young male audience experiences. Something, pretty much everyone else fails to do. And his arguments only really fall apart once you invest quite some time to look deeper into the matter.

Disregarding Asmongold as just a crazy basement dweller with dead rats in his house might be easy but it's severely underestimating the danger that this man poses if we don't find ways to offer a better save space for his target audience. Although, Dr. K. is doing god's work here!

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Hey, engaging in good faith here:

Yeah, I get that a socially stunted basement dweller 'elder gamer' is indeed appealing to and relatable with a younger generation of basically the same.

And I totally get that many, many people are just highly dismissive of and rude toward such socially awkward people, which reinforces the entire dynamic... when what they should be is more appealing to, sympathetic and empathetic to the younger disaffected crowd, that are basically scared and confused and angry kids, many of whom could be easily set toward a better path in life and development of their world view if ... just anyone would actually make them feel heard.

I really, really do get that, as I myself come from a right wing family, and genuienly didn't even realize how fucked up a good deal of my young beliefs were, how self-destructive some of my own behaviors were, untill I actually encountered and got to spend a lot of time with people less shitty than my family, irl... granted this was 20-30 years ago, I think I am roughly the same age as Asmon, so this was... back when computers and video games were actually niche, weirdo nerd things, not the widespread bog standard for children's socialization.

I have no argument with any of that.

I do however request at least one actual example of Asmon having a take on literally anything that is... lets say, more well thought out and reasoned than a high school sophomore's 5 page book report.

... And in saying that, I am now remembering that American literacy rates and scores have plummeted since I got out of high school, I think within +/- 2 ish years of myself graduating from college, that was the actual high point for average American literacy levels...

Maybe my standard of 'well reasoned and thoughtful' just objectively is higher than the modern standard.

Hrm.

How do you then reset the alarm so it doesn’t smell? Do you refrigerate it or freeze it?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 18 hours ago

... you pull the blinds down... and go noseblind after enough 'exposure'.

what a cunt.

it's obvious he doesn't even understand what a refugee is

and then goes on to say "why would you add people to your country that don't speak the language" in English and not the native tongue of the tribe that the land was stolen from

and what the fuck did he think happened to Poles who moved to the US 100 years ago? They weren't even considered "white."

This dude has been a well known shit head for years. It's not surprising to see him continue to be a well known shit head. Twitch, like most platforms, doesn't actually care what people say, as long as it drives engagement.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

I still remember tuning in to see what his stream is about and he is explaining why having a confederate flag is important to texans (not sure if it was texans, been a while)

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

One thing I dislike about streamers is when you can tell they are using their voice in a "hey you should take me seriously, I am obviously right" kind of tone, and are good at that, but the actual words are just repeating a common opinion and devoid of much any substance or argument. Like they think adjusting the way they say something makes them more right.

THE MAN LET RATS ROT IN HIS HOUSE AND CALLED IT HIS "ALARM CLOCK."

[–] cacti@ani.social 6 points 15 hours ago

Considering Twitch is owned by Amazon, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, I don't think it's really all that insane that Twitch allows this. And I'm sure as hell that Asmongold has made statements more unhinged than this.

I thought this guy just did shit reaction content? I was suggested a video before and he just sat with his stupid face in the corner most of the time making dumb comments and turning a slightly interesting 30 minute video into 3 hours. I couldn't be bothered to watch more than a few minutes and I feel like I am owed that time back.

[–] Grizzlyboy@lemmy.zip 21 points 21 hours ago

The fact that he’s got a following still, shows you just how underdeveloped some humans are. How sad must your life be, for you to watch and listen to this cockroach.
