The reason this got under Soygon's skin so much is because Spencer absolutely pegged him. For all his sperging about other people being scam artists and frauds, Sargon know deep down that is what he is. If he wasn't, he would have done something I will mention later in this post.
Because he is an extremely poor man's demagogue. Joe Rogan rubs shoulders with the accessible intellectual crowd and saw right through him immediately. That must have been embarrassing, and I think it was the beginning of the downfall tbh.
Sargon should have taken all that paypig and supershekel money and enrolled himself at least part time at a university (even local if need be) and taken political science (or even history classes, though polisci would be way better). He wouldn't even have had to get a degree, but it would have been better to. It would have lent him so much more credibility, connected him with so many useful people, endeared him to his audience which consists of a lot of college kids, taught him a lot, and may have even grounded him before making all these unforced errors. It would have cost him nothing compared to the benefits. I can't believe he didn't do this if he wanted to be a serious player, and the fact he didn't really indicates that he isn't that smart. If I was one of his friends, I would recommend he still try to make that move, but he won't because he is a lazy fraud.
Jim killed Internet Aristocrat, so I think he will avoid the goobergate massacre. Ralph might too because of his publication, although there isn't too much to kill there. Interesting that neither one of them ever got into that whole optics cuckery that defined the latter part of that hashtag spergout
