General GunTuber thread

"oh your mom posted a pic of you on her private facebook, you lost your privacy, goy! might as well post your asshole with your SSN written on the cheeks"
You think Facebook just deleted all that facial recognition data when they shut the app down?

Dude, who you think you're talking to? I know they sold all that shit. I'm just mocking faggots who think that people should give up OPSEC just because they or someone from their family made a mistake.

What mind?
Despite all the memes, it's clear Karl is actually intelligent. Whenever he's not sperging about politics he can put out good content. Problem is, he's become an ideologue. And an ideologue's brain immediately shuts down and reverts to monkey-banging-sticks-and-throwing-shit behavior the instant their ideology is challenged.

There's nothing that says smart people can't be wrong. In fact, when smart people are wrong they're often even more wrong than dumb people because they become very good at rationalizing away their mistakes. That's a common thing with a lot of lolcows. Some are dumb as bricks, but many of them are very intelligent people who will not dig themselves out of the cognitive holes they dug for themselves. And we make fun of them for it.
 
He has plenty of videos of just running guns through courses that I wouldn't even take a second look at before saying "Huh, neat, that one did pretty good". I don't really get it. People literally know almost nothing about Ian's politics (to my knowledge, anyway) on the other hand, and his channel is widely enjoyed by almost everyone.

Ian has had a long term plan in mind from the start, and that included a certain sense of branding. Even 10 years ago, when politics were not nearly as toxic as they are now, he was aware that politics were, by their very nature, divisive; further, he made the conscious decision to make his public persona that of a firearms scholar, and just that. People know what to expect of him.

That's exactly the issue with Karl: no one knows what to expect from his content. I was subscribed to InRange for a while, but then noticed that for every good gun video, another 3 completely unrelated to the topic came out as well. Independent of my personal leanings, I don't go on YouTube to be lectured about what's right or wrong; I just want to watch cool shit and learn. That's why I unsubscribed from InRange, and continue to follow Ian in general.

Looks like Karl's edgy white genocide tweet got taken off Twitter.

This is especially funny because he was smugposting about how it didn't violate Twitter's rules a few hours before.

Same, loved his cowboy shit with the lore, ammo for this and that but it just went to hell...

The Old West Vignettes series was pretty great, despite the low production value. It's a shame that they took so much time and money to make for such a low return on investment. I'm fairly certain that constantly arguing against the legend of Wyatt Earp probably burnt him out on the whole idea as well.

He could provide some pretty nuanced coverage, too. One of my favorite videos in InRange is this one:


Karl doesn't immediately go "bigoted rural cops bad, black urbanites good" on that one, he takes the time to explain the relevant points of view and mostly sticks to the facts of the whole clusterfuck. Man...

It really was a long time ago, huh?
