Ah so LazerPig got a thread. Makes sense, he is cringe, gay, a liar, a sperg, and, worst of all, fat.
I only skimmed through the thread so forgive me if anything I have to say is redundant, but here's my two cents.
The issue with LazerPIg is that his videos are kinda funny and entertaining. This means that people who aren't in any way historians or even historically minded will stumble upon them and take his word at face value while giggling at his jokes and memes. He's like the AVGN of military history, except James actually has some credibility on the subject of video games. Still his success proves that if you add enough exasperation and silly analogies to a rant about something people will lap it up. I do not believe for a minute that he was ever actually a part of the intelligence community in any way shape or form, though I could believe he genuinely thinks he was. With all the alcoholism and brain damage he's a prime candidate for drinking his own kool aid.
He clearly has issues with addiction, and I suspect that he became addicted to the air of credibility that he gained by being successful. He's surrounded himself with sycophants, which is easy to do when you're appealing to trannies, faggots, and NAFO. His aversion to criticism reeks of the same stench as their aversion to reality. I doubt anyone would give nearly this much of a fuck about him and his degeneracy if he simply admitted he was more concerned about being entertaining than factual and has at best a passing idea of what he's talking about at any given time. A basic disclaimer at the start of his videos could have prevented a lot of this backlash. Something to the effect of "I'm a fat, gay, retarded drunkard and this is a barely coherent rant intended to amuse and entertain more than inform" would allow him to drop the pretense of being a real historian and lean fully into the comedy rants that actually made him successful.
But he can't do that, he's had a taste of people actually taking him seriously and a hint at how it feels to actually be credible and he's hooked. He came from nothing and has led a pathetic tragedy of a life. He should be content with the humble status of successful YouTube rant guy, but like any addict he's going to throw it all away chasing the dragon from the high point he felt when, for a brief moment, he was seen as a credible historian and former intelligence operative instead of a fat gay retarded drunk.
In a final twist of irony, the fact that he expects to be taken so seriously adds an unintended layer of humor to his videos. If I didn't know any better I might even think he's doing this intentionally. It's one thing to watch a fat gay retarded drunk rant about a tank for an hour, but its another thing when that fat gay retarded drunk expects you to place his vaguely coherent ramblings on the same level as actually credible people like Chieftain.
Think about it like this, in the movie Trainspotting, appropriately about Scottish addicts, a heroine junkie unleashes a liquid shit storm on his girlfriends bedsheets, then while attempting to sneak them into the wash her mother tries to take them from him, insisting upon doing it herself. This culminates in a tug of war that ends with his girlfriend's mother and the entire kitchen being splattered with feces. As a situation this is funny, but now imagine if you took the unwashed sheets and put them on display next to the works of Van Gogh and Picasso, claiming it's a piece of modern art and its just as good.
That's LazerPig, he's the bed shitting heroine addict, vehemently sperging out and insisting his sheets are a work of art whenever anyone dares to point out the obvious. Personally I find that hilarious.
