You would be surprised how much money ideologues leave on the table when they cuck out. So even if he's doing it for the money, he's still pissing off the woketards screeching about muh nazis. And if this whole thing clears some of the far-left idiots in his fanbase who think he's "one of them" because he's got long hair and hasn't said the word "nigger" on screen yet, all the better.
Regardless, this whole thing cements my idea that Ian is a libertarian. Well-intentioned but way too fucking naive for his own good. I don't expect him to take any firm stance on anything, and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. I'm not watching his videos for his political takes, I'm watching his videos for the funny guns and occasional analysis.
