while also providing zero actual solutions or goals towards amending the disparities in class mind you.

It makes me wonder where Sargon places himself since he gets about £4K plus on Patreon, so he can’t exactly call himself working class.

Just like John Lennon, you can consider yourself working class despite being nowhere near it apparently.

I’d say it’s less about the $100k/yr, and more about calling rambling into OBS “working.”

8000 US dollars a month on Patreon + superchat money is a good living, but isn't as sustainable as having an actual job. Plus, he's been traveling back and forth from the US a lot recently for speaking events and stuff, which I would assume takes a large financial toll.
If he's at all smart about money, I would highly doubt he's living much better than the average working class person, and certainly not as well as someone with an equivalent salary in a sustainable long-term job. Also, I think he mainly speaks from his previous experience in a low tier office job on this anyway.

In all seriousness, he does have a point about there being a sharp class division on politics right now, especially when it comes to recognizing the negative effects Islam has recently been having on the West, it's just that he overplays it to the point that you can almost start to see shades or red in him.
This probably has a lot to do with him being a Brit, because class divisions in Britain have historically been a much bigger deal than in the U.S. or elsewhere. I've heard that being "old money" is still worth a lot more there than in the US, for example.

If I'm not mistaken, I think he charges for his speaking engagements, so he's probably making a profit there.

I don't think he's wrong, and I don't think most people here disagree with him politically. I find him to be a cow mostly because he's just such a cringey person in his real life interactions that it's hard to take him seriously.

Brits do have a more pronounced class system than the US, but I think it's evening out in terms of how much of a deal it is in the States versus in the UK. The only difference is that Americans don't have titles of nobility, so it's harder to distinguish who's an aristocrat.

This was the worst thing I've watched all week.

In regards to the size of Sargons ego I recall that when he talked about the first time he ever spoke to Milo; Milo said something like "welcome to the thousand year long culture war" to which Sargon responded "Its not going to take a thousand years because I am going to end it" This was back before he was e-famous. As well as this I believe that his inner circle speaks to his egocentrisim more than anything else, particularly Vee. To listen to them on streams is what it must have felt like for Jane Goodall observing the chimps pay deference to the dominant male. The level of asskissing both overt and unconscious is incredible.

Here's a recent debate that he had with communist YouTuber Xexizy:

Sargon and Co. are coming out to bravely defend Freedom of Speech from the forces of mild criticism and disagreement by promoting an event which claims they have no freedom of expression on a forum viewed by hundreds of millions.

May 6th. London. #DayForFreedom Feat. Gavin Mcinness. MILO. Stefan Molyneux. Lauren Southern. Count Dankula. Sargon Of Akkad. Tommy Robinson. Raheem Kassam.

I wonder how Lauren Southern is going to attend this event if she's banned from entering the UK...

In a container with the rest of the illegals.

A lot of these people have been involved in some kind of scandalwhere they were paid for an event but the event didnt trasnspire. For Mcinness I believe there was supposed to be an event where he would go on a cruise with a lot of people for money back in his Rebel media days. I think that fell through, correct me if im wrong. I would be very interested in the financials of this event and to see who is getting paid to appear at this. Its very easy to be a crusader for free speech when it pays so well.

It's in London so I might wander by and catch a glimpse of them if anyone wants pictures.

Not walking with them, christ no. I have way too much dignity left to not shred it with wannabe skeptic twats.

Ask Sargon what it feels to raise his wife's preferred husband's son

What a collection of characters.

I immediately have more respect for anyone not on this list.

Could be interesting...

Sargon of Akkad has been giving me cringes lately. He used to be decent, but it feels like he is moving towards being another Chris Cuntwell lately.

 

[Hierophantis]

And frankly pretends to be an upper crust twat

 

[Toucan]

Can we start taking bets on how long it will take for his ego to boil over and he run for election? "Liberalist MP for Swindon" Is a phrase that must have gone through his mind at some point.

 

[Hierophantis]

People here seem to forget that liberalism is "what Sargon likes" so he probably cant have people go off reservation

I think he will stick with being sort of a "public thinker". If he didnt call his chat 'white niggers' he'd probably do okay and go mainstream on some level. Believe me, there is nothing different about his talking points and any generic conservative or libertarian and they LOVE throwing money at people who parrot their shit.

I am not sure what they are protesting exactly, but if it is related to the fact that the police in the UK track down mean tweets then they have a point and it isnt just mild criticism imo.

I do hope he runs, and I hope his opponents just play the sound clip of him telling people they are acting like white niggers.

Christopher Hitchens was a public thinker. The idea that Sargon is placed in the same category as him makes me want to blow my brains out. I agree with you that he has effectively lost all hope of winning an election with the whole white nigger thing but do you honestly think he will be content pontificating on youtube forever? Especially since all projections indicate that the whole "feminists are lame you guys" schtick on youtube is dying out. If he doesnt move on to greener fields soon he may well get left behind with a small group of circle jerking sycophants. I believe he will at least take a crack at running for election. He will probably claim he is doing it ironically though.
