Speaking as someone who absolutely hates all this lefty bullshit, LGR having that opinion doesn't matter unless he puts them into his videos.

Definitely agree that keeping it on twitter is at least a hopeful sign that this won't taint his content in the future.

I wouldn't be surprised if his sister dying from cancer drove him to the left because of the cost of medical care. It's unrealistic to want your content creators to hold the same opinion as you and their opinions don't really matter as long as they don't affect their content.

Shit, I forgot about that. It would explain a lot.

I don't expect them to have the same opinion as me, but if a content creator is going to spend money bailing out rioters, people should be aware that any money they give to said creator might be going towards causes that they are against. I'm not going to shun LGR videos forever because he donated bail money, but I'll probably won't buy any of his merchandise after this.

Used to be that the Confederate Flag was seen as merely tacky Southern kitsch and was only a bad flag when used by KKK or White Nationalists.

Usually, if you saw a character with a Confederate Flag in a TV show or movie from before the 2010's, it was just visual shorthand that they were a Southerner or a redneck, no different than a a dyed mohawk and Union Jack being shorthand for a punk rocker or dark tracksuits and slick-back hair for a mobster.

A lot of tourist locations and gift shops in the South would often include the Confederate Flag on souvenirs since it was iconic Southern kitsch, no different than tourist traps in the Western US including cowboy imagery on their souvenirs.

Even as recently as the mid-late 2000's, it was at most seen as trashy and redneck if Joe Nobody was displaying it, and most of the controversies had more to do with whether or not it was okay to fly it on government buildings since traditionally only the American flag and the state flag are seen as acceptable across the board.

Before 2013 and especially before Dylann Roof shot up a black church in South Carolina, the Confederate Flag was mainly viewed in the same way as plastic flamingos and Elvis paintings are for the most part, and it was more like the Iron Cross or the Gadsen Flag where it was only bad if you used it in a specific context.

Now it's seen as on par with the literal goddamn Swastika, if not more reviled than it.

As a lifelong Civil War history sperg who grew up in a former Confederate state but also is from a family that fought for the Union at the time, it's all so jarring to see the stance change all so rapidly.

People used to take a funny little thing called context into account.

If you flew the Confederate flag in an obviously racist context, like at a Klan rally, then it wasn't good, but outside of that it just meant "southern pride"

But the perception of the Confederacy has changed so much, even as recently as the 2000s you had movies like Gods and Generals, or heck, even Spielberg's Lincoln from 2012, where nobody said the Confederacy was in the right, but they weren't painted as absolute monsters either, there was a modicum of respect.

But now they're painted as Proto Nazis, which is absurd, because as bad as slavery is, it's not fucking genocide.

That doesn't mean they should be ignored, and I hope Trump gets the FBI to snuff them out. But they're getting curb-stomped by Proud Boys and NBA players, and are now being actively identified to cops by BLM soy boys desperate to maintain the "peaceful protest" fiction. They aren't an existential threat.

Thats the main issue though, they are inside the house, so to speak. Probably in the FBI itself. You are basically watching an attempt at a soft coup inside the United States, specifically to depose the democratically elected President of the United States. I don't think it gets much of a bigger happening than that.

Terrifying shit, man.

My question is what's supposed to be so bad about Trump to make this worthwhile? Are open borders that important? Why?

Where are these mass shooters when you need them? If instead of shooting up a school or church, they could shoot commies and ANTIFA and be lauded as heroes. Shit, I'd petition naming streets after them.

And get the libtards more riled up for gun control, make the right-wingers more demonized than they already are, and to make literal martyrs out of these protesters? This ain't it, chief.

because the dredges of other countries tend to flock to the gibsmedats the democrats offer, and the Capitalist republicans wanted them in for cheap labor before they realized they all vote democrat.

And that's enough to bring us to the edge of literal fucking Civil War for?

They're that corrupt that they will tear this country down just for cheap votes?

Well we had HUAC back in the day and another could be arranged. There is also shadow guerilla warfare used in games like metal gear solid ground zeros. We shadowy shit before and they always burn or get exposed. I believe the best way is fun and comedy.

I gotta admit, it stings a bit. I really enjoy LGR's content. A little while ago, I found a submission on one of the communist subreddits asking people for recommendations on non political content made by "not shitty" people who have leftist values. LGR was brought up and the commenter said that he had seen LGR donate to some kind of left-wing organization live on a stream and then interacted with the chat. I scoffed at this, but it seems like it might be true.

For anyone who doesn't know, this is Lazy Game Reviews (LGR). He makes videos about old computers, old computer accessories and old computer software. He is one of the bigger names in the hobby and has 1.37 million youtube subscribers.

I really REALLY like Clint's content, he's solely about old games, computers, weird shit, and building old computers. I've never even thought about his political leanings, he never strays into any sort of political topic.. Good apolitical content. I'll cope by assuming he posted platitudes so he didn't get "cancel'd"

Notice that most "mass shooters" are ashkenazi jews ? Notice that, it's so hard to really get white "supremacists" doing their bidding and finding anyone 'retarded" enough nowadays even by glownigging for this past weeks on 4chan , baiting people in "you so weak, larper right wingers, you allways talk about the boogaloo but you ain't doing shit ! where you at when blacks destroy everything huh ? All larp and no act !"

It's been going on and on and on i noticed and 4chan noticed too, now they are inventing the "boogaloo bois" last week, completely made up, /k and /pol/ are denouncing it too because it's completely fresh and out of nowhere (they try to frame 4chan)

There is like 0.0000001% of real "white supremacist" existing and maybe even 0.000001% of these would ever act upon their "beliefs"

It is all so fucking fake.
