Ya know im going to be stunning and brave here and offer up the hottest of takes....
Moviebob did nothing wrong
Ok allow me to elaborate. While my contempt for blobby boy has been made very evident by my previous posts on this thread and beyond and I have taken great joy at how often he gets spat on by those he looks up to, this exchange between him and shaun has awakened the barest feeling of defensiveness over the treatment bob has been receiving from people like shaun and his breadtube buddies.
These people helped make the toxic position of "everyone who disagrees with us on any issue or says things our clique have arbetraily deemed problematic is a disgusting subhuman nazi who deserves to be violently silenced and have their lives destroyed in perpetuity" fashionable in their shitty sphere of the internet, and yet when bob simply takes this shit to the logical extreme demanded by such alarmist extremes, they recoil and disown him despite having effectively been saying and adcovating the exact same shit, only with a "LOLSOSNARKY" angle.
Its pure goddamn snobbery. They see their participation in this disengenuous demagoguery as a trendy accessory, and see moviebob's use of it as a vulgar and lower-class imitation, even though fundamentally its the exact same fucking thing.
Hell, one could even argue that when the position of "our enemies our inhuman nazi monsters who are going to murder all minorities" is taken, even if completely disingenuously, the only justified public response would be to loudly chimp out about having to mercilessly fight and destroy them as bob does....obviously moviebob is all talk no action in this regard, but atleast he is trying to actually play along with the implications of the "its us vs THE SUPER DUPER RAPE NAZI REICH!" bullshit
I dunno, it just seems to me that while video robert is an absolutely reprehensible sack of shit and I will gladly join the rest of you in cackling over his inevitable beetus demise, atleast he is making the vague effort to take the currentyear woke rhetoric as seriously as it is supposed to be taken, which is more than the smugfuck casual shit-stirrers like shaun and co are doing
There is much to recommend this analysis. Since the Trumpocalypse the left has gone crazy, and since the Floyd thing they have gone utterly around the bend. But they still crave a veneer of acceptability and rationality, and since Bob is notably lacking in both those things, he has gone even further (if only rhetorically, since Bob can't probably attend a protest without having an arrhythmia). For years I've said it's not fair to tar the left with Bob's lunacy, but increasingly his crazy takes aren't actually that far off anymore. It's just that he's personally repulsive and has no filter, so even now he makes a great, big fat target to point to and say, "Look how crazy he is! He wants the Germans to invade Poland!"
Nowadays they deserve Bob much more than they used to, and it is more than a little irritating to see them disavowing him for expediency. You guys bought this asshole; you own him.
"technocratic (note the SMALL "t") "
Hey! Bob is totally not a member of a faction from a fictional group of villains in a 1990s role playing game! (They were Enlightened, after all.)
Or maybe he meant to say "I'm a technocrat (note the low T.)"
