I’m surprised Sargon never gave up on politics after no one voted for his party lol. I guess you can give him that, but it’s probably just his narcissistic attitude. I would feel so embarrassed. I understand being against SJW stuff, but if it becomes your whole personality it can be pretty shameful. There are a lot of younger people fueled and driven by politics to this day now because of that stuff. It’s so bizarre.

During the election he misjudged the political situation so badly (In regards to joining UKIP) that either Sargon doesn't really understand what's going on or he was just in it for self publicity (Which is what the mainstream media assumed since you'd have to be really dumb to think UKIP was going anywhere without Nigel Farage).

He's basically the "I wouldn't even rape you guy" to the average person who's into politics in the Uk.

But anyway I always thought it was some kind of mid life crisis he's going through to want to be a politican with all the obvious baggage he has holding him back.

I say it's ego.

He probably thought "I've got a lot of subscribers to my political YouTube channel. That must mean I'm a political genius who could easily run for office, win, and save the west!" when he should have thought "I'm really popular with a specific group of people that doesn't represent the British voting demographics. I should stay with what I know and not embarrass myself by bringing attention to all the edgy stuff I've said in the past."

If he’d been smart, he would have realised the only reason he’s popular is because his audience is primarily American and mistook his British accent for actual intelligence. Britfags see through that shit in seconds.

Then again, if he’d been smart, this thread wouldn’t be over a thousand pages.

Labour is not in nearly as bad of a state as UKIP is. Labour is a fractured party for sure, but they just need to start working on resolving their internal conflicts and reorganizing as a party, figuring out what their actual brand and image is going to be. They also need to suck it up once and for all and move on from battling Brexit.

Labour is currently being fought over by Blairite Neoliberals who pretend to not hate the white working class and an alliance of ultra-progressive lunatics who are quite open about it. The problem for Labour is that everyone else, including the Labour base, hates these two groups even more than they hate each other. Decent Labour people need to take the party back and tell the wankers to sit down in the way that the local Conservative Party branches dealt with their arch-Remainers. The problem is that in between the student Marxists, smug North London Guardian readers, anti-Semitism witch hunts, trans rights debates, dodgy Muslim businessmen winning 105% of their constituency's postal votes and all the rest of it, there unfortunately doesn't seem to be much room in the Labour Party for decent people at the moment.

UKIP on the other hand has an even bigger battle to face. If UKIP is ever to be restored to the position it once held, it's going to take years if not decades of work to repair itself.

He doesn't want to be seen as the guy who single-handily ruined a political party, so now he's trying to argue that Labour is in just as bad a state as UKIP is.

UKIP is just done. For better or worse, it's just irrelevant. And now that Nigel is in his retirement hawking signed Brexit Party posters at £35 a go and Boris is doing an effective job of shoring up the right wing of his party, it doesn't look like they'll be coming back.

Americans, by and large, can't tell the difference between a basic bitch British accent and the Oxbridge accent that might signify, if not intelligence, at least membership in the social elite.

I don’t think Carl is asking anyone to do it, its probably just some autistic fan but I’m pretty amused that someone would try to unironically shill for an eceleb (let alone, Carl) on 4chins.

I bet he does it himself.

I want to give a little credit to Vaush. I think him attempting to breadpill Shoe and making Carl seethe over at least the second debate has sparked something in Carl. The general response to the left from his videos is increasingly hysterical.

He legitimately seems panicked over leftists staging a violent revolution, and is starting to call them Bolsheviks.

It is on par with Chris Matthews panicking over getting executed in public when Bernie won in New Hampshire. Amazin'.

Tbh seeing the right freak out about Bernie is as hilarious as seeing the left freak out about Trump

If not even more funny because Bernie is very direct in saying what he wants and he's very easy to read. Trump just straight up shitposts and freaks out all the time.

They both bring out a disproportionate amount of sped rage. This election will be amazing.

It's just going to be a bunch of total spazzoids freaking out at every nitpicked micro-detail, while the entire point goes entirely through their head and they make up completely wild conspiracy shitposts at eachother

It'll be like seeing two factions from alternate dimensions just tear into eachother

Smuckles has filed a "Notice of motion for attorneys fees" on the 20th for $33,419.35 + $5,000 + $126.54

This is only a motion and hasn't been granted but Sargon's side make some good points.

Some key takeaways

1. The &33,419 in lawyers fees was a "discounted" one
2. Sargons legal team had 2 lawyers charging 446.09 and 300.00 per hour, and 2 Clerks at 36.41 and 60.41
3. Akilah had many different lawyers and judges say she should dismiss because of how weak the case but didn't (court transcript in the video linked)
4. They say that the suit was filed in bad faith/to censor Sargon, some evidence submitted in the noticed are;
   • Emailing youtube to have him taken down & tweeting at Patreon
   • Dumb tweets and whipping up her fan base (including saying "lets bankrupt this dumb fuck")
   • Her youtube video she made (even quoting when she said "do I know he has a family? Yer and I don't care")
   • She only tried to settle once to “bully” him and didn't show any effort to negotiate
   • The copyright breach had no measurable damages and she knew it

Some other stuff, leaning in on the suppression of political speech and calling her legal council inept for allowing the case to drag on so long.

Leonard French video which includes him reading a court transcript which is also being used as evidence because the judge raised so many concerns with the cases validity.

He should get this. As much as this thread would suggest otherwise, there are people a lot dumber than Carl out there and he defended a suit from one of them

Anyone who tried to sue someone purely as legal harassment to shut them up having to pay a fuckton of fees is a big win for freedom of speech. Hopefully it'll make people like her think twice about trying to weaponize the legal system in the future.

I know what you're saying... but the reputational damage Carl has done to the concept of free speech might outweigh his legal contribution

I'm not saying give him a medal for this or anything. I'm just saying, taking the issue by itself, regardless of who's attached to it, it will be a good thing if he wins.

I really just want him to be standing for a seat right now so we can get a "Rape Tweeter's Statements Ruled Legal in America" headline out of this

wtf I love Sargon now

But seriously, maybe Sargon is the right guy to try to really swing the sledgehammer at lawfare censorship. We never saw that countersuit in the Maddox lolsuit; Asterios was basically on the pro-censorship side and only using it to grift and Dick Masterson had already taken everything there was to take off Maddox and turned out to not be vindictive enough to attempt to claim a bunch of fees off a guy who obviously will never be able to pay. Sargon, on the other hand, has the right combination of never forgiving a sleight, vindictiveness towards his enemies, time on his hands, autistic conviction of his fedora-given right to be obnoxious on the Internet and the funds to go through with the threat. On the down side, he's still the rape Tweet guy and going by his track record, if he goes in hard on this, then the outcome will be the overturning of the First Amendment in America followed by the uploading of Ruth Bader Ginsberg to a computer allowing her to remain on the Supreme Court forever.

He isn't the hero we want, the hero we deserve, or even the hero we need, or for that matter even a hero. But he'll do for this one.

What an anti-semetic portrayal of Bernie Sanders, the ADL should be at work.
