I'm glad Jacob Geller is a person people actually know about.
See, the thing with Geller is that despite being super ultra Jewish and liberal, he manages to actually exercise something called self control and moderation.
Meanwhile, could you imagine Jim doing a video featuring extended discussion of actual historical Nazis, without once stopping the video to talk down to his audience and reassure everyone how super duper bad and morally inferior he thinks Nazis are?
Jim has become so poisoned and regressed by his unhealthy relationship with the internet and media that I don't think he's capable of connecting with average people anymore. Just look at the fucking clown. Look at him.
He's like Noah Antwiler, just like some people can't control themselves when they drink, some people can't control themselves when they have access to Twitter and w/e else.
Again using Geller as an example, half the time when he discusses games it's as a vehicle to discuss some wider topic, or he's discussing some other thing and brings it back to games, in general it's clear that he views games as a more holistic pursuit.
What else does Jim even have thoughts or opinions on? He's so desensitized that unless something is trendy or fetishistic he doesn't want to be bothered.
This isn't a matter of Jim just being able to pivot, his content is a reflection of the fact he's chosen to give up his humanity and become a transhumanist bugman. He could gain back some of that humanity, but that would mean abstinence from things like social media, and he doesn't have the self control for that.
