The funny things I see are just how a lot of the shit being said here about Jim sound pretty retarded. From Dave saying that one must show constancy of character like Thomas Moore. I'd argue Jimothy and his whole "Laugh at retards on the internet" has been MUCH more constant than Carl or even Dave, for the most part. Hell, that's one of the biggest reasons why everyone likes him so much; because he, kinda like Dankula (WHO I DON'T SEE CARL SHITTING ON...HMMMM), are all about trying to stay fun on the internet and not take shit TOO seriously (And Jim does that even more than Dank.) Hell, their argument isn't that HE hasn't been constant; it's that the environment has changed. Basically, exactly what happened with Moore.I just happened upon this watching through some of my NRX backlog.

Sargoon has maybe judged that enough time has passed that he can finally tap dance on Jim's deathbed without recourse and decides to do so a bit towards the end of a 4 hour live stream. Old hits such as "he could have led a political movement but he just live streamed and collected super chats". He must have forgotten to include the peter pan with his lost boys line and imply grooming again.
Also, Carl saying "I'm British; I'm very familiar with gallows humor." I'd argue the retard lost gallows humor, and then all sense of humor as he went more NRx and took anything and everything way too seriously.
Another thing with Sargon: "he's a very talented man generally. Like he used to do thoughtful videos believe it or not; and they were really good really good actually. um and it's disappointing that you got kind of audience captured by the lazy like just react to some stupid bottom of the barrel thing and rake in super chats." and later "I do, I do. It's definitely a personal failing of his."
Maybe it's just me, but those statements seem to apply to Carl MUCH more than it applies to Jim. (Though I imagine some over here would disagree with applying "talented man who used to do good, thoughtful videos" to Carl.)
The funniest thing coming to mind is that, "affected more people politically just by laughing at them and calling them retarded" is pretty much exactly what happened with Carl in the first place. Remember, his 'claim to fame' was TWIS which was essentially finding articles about random retards around the world, calling them retarded and laughing at them. Dude also earned a TON of good will through that. It's only when he started taking himself too seriously and trying to take internet shit into the real world without understanding how to do so, that he started losing the plot. And completely lost it after entering this kinda "Think of me as an expert on the topic; even if I or my people have no fucking idea what we're talking about" mindset he seems to exude nowadays. Either that or his "Morality brigade, just without power yet." mindset.Sargoy doesn't seem to understand that Jim never wanted to chase the idea of a "political movement" like he did.
Jim just wanted to point out the retardation of people online and laugh at them while selling decently priced hats.
I'd also argue that Jim affected more people politically just by laughing at them and calling them retarded then Sargon did by bloviating.
