The political ideology that comes closest to Bob's warped worldview would be Objectivism, which isn't really a surprise when I believe he used to praise Randian philosophy (if someone can pull a quote on that, I'd appreciate it). In Bob's mind, the parasites are anyone that reminds him of his high school bullies (real or imagined), who he believes are draining resources away from the enlightened thinkers that are pushing society forward to the Superior Future™. He's made tweets to this effect as well, stating that red states are an overall drain on federal taxes and that the blue states are doing all the heavy lifting, with the not-so-subtle and sometimes outright stated notion that they should be cut off and left to die.

I think this is unfair- to Ayn Rand. I used to be a bit of a Randroid myself, and I never got the impression from her writing that she hated the toiling masses, just thought them irrelevant. Her work very much hinges on the "great man" theory of history, only expanded out to basically everything. The Fountainhead is ultimately the battle between Rourke and Toohey, not Rourke and the obsolete mayonnaise ghouls who don't appreciate his greatness. They don't appreciate his greatness, but that's because of Toohey's influence, not because they're evil or even (necessarily) stupid.

As a philosophy, Objectivism really attracts people who are breaking or have broken from their roots; Rand herself was a Jew from Soviet Russia, but her homebrew philosophy rejects Judaism, Russian-ness, and Communism with vehemence. Religious apostates are common converts (Bosch Fawstin comes to mind) so it would make some sense that Bob, as a basic-bitch ex-Catholic, would have at least some attraction to the philosophy. But I'm generally inclined to believe that his petty malice towards anyone and everyone he considers inconvenient to him in some way is less a philosophical stance and more him just being an asshole. If you had to draw a fictional comparison, he'd be a fat, incel version of one of the main characters of Rope.

Although Ayn Rand was a freak in the bedroom, she would probably be more significantly aligned with conservatives when it came to keeping sexual displays off of public streets.
(she liked it rough and didn't wash her downstairs until a friend called her out on it)
Also I think Bob is like the fat guy from the movie Gamer, I could see him getting a sick thrill out of getting to be a puppetmaster to a poor red-state woman.
 
That cringe inducing, defensive little mantra irritated the piss out of me, too, but this rebuts it much better than I could. There's just one thing I'd add.

"Marriage is hard. Staying in an unhappy marriage is harder" seems like it's ... really, really revealing.
People who get divorced thinking it will solve their problems or make them "happy" are the ones who usually have the worst separations, get into another failed marriage shortly after and/or end up fucking up their kids. Divorce doesn't magically erase the other person from you life or fix all your problems, you just get different ones. It's at best an unfortunate necessity, never a miracle solution.
 
If you include videos released in 2019, He had two videos that hit at least 100,000 views, which are both about Star Wars.
I'm surprised he gets any views at alll; imagine actually listening to him talking 800 words per minute for 1h 30m. He's the Ben Shapiro of movie reviewers, only much less successful and much fatter.

And much more political. Ben Shapiro can shut down the politics when he talks about movies. Like a normal person.
 
How much money does patreon take for their cut? Because $1200 really isn't that much and I'd imagine it's lower once patreon takes their share.
Well, note that I said $1200/month more than he was making before, he's up to $4361/month total. It's even more depressing that way.

Doing some basic math here: I'm assuming Bob's on the basic plan since he wants to keep as much money as possible and he's not using any of the more advanced features like patron tiers, so Patreon takes a 5% cut there, or $218.05. To keep payment processing fees simple, I'm just going to use the current average payment of $3.11. The fee for payment processing would be 2.9% + 30 cents, or 39 cents for a $3.11 payment. Multiplied by 1403 patrons, that's $547.17. Combined, that's total fees of $765.22, leaving him with just under $3600/month. Still way more money than he deserves. I wish I knew what these morons saw in Bob that they willingly give money to him every month, I could use a few grand every month for doing basically nothing.

That's why I said it was closest, not a 100% match. It's better to say that Bob's beliefs are based off of a misunderstanding of Objectivism rather than the ideology itself. Or to put it even simpler, yeah, Bob's just a petty, vindictive asshole.
 
Bob's ideology is actually pretty simple: he's what they call a "Neoliberal." The kind of person who believes in gentrification and supports corporate monopolies and endless wars if they can pander to left-wing identity politics at the same time. There are a ton of people like him, just either less radical or less honest.
But it’s wrapped around a mindset of being vengeful towards the people who wronged him in high school. He equates the people who were able to put up with his immaturity and annoying behavior with Democrats and the people who understandably got annoyed with him and told him to stop being a stupid weirdo with Republicans.

And also movies because his simple brain thinks they could happen in real life.

I’m not well versed on tax law but doesn’t he lose even more to taxes because he’s self-employed?
And he loses 5% to state income taxes.

It depends how you write off expenses and the amount you claim. In some places if you make 30k or less you don't even have to pay taxes.

In Atlas Shrugged, there's a scene early on where an employee (I think he's an engine driver or mechanic, but I'm not sure) quits his job and Dagny begs him to stay, offering raises, but he says no. I think it's implied he's getting taken by Galt.

The reason the lower rung workers aren't featured in her books much is because the stories aren't about them.

I'm convinced that Bob's patrons are people who are just like Bob in their beliefs, but who are less mouthy about them. I also suspect a few are people that Bob himself supports on Patreon, and the money is just being bandied back and forth between them to boost numbers.
 
bob has it so easy: jobless retard inbred hick can trash talk a successfull women lawyer on twitter and nothing will happen to him. life isnt fair
You must be new here. Bob lives a sad existence in that foul basement of his. He probably never have a companion, he will never earn the respect of the public at large, and he will never receive his superior future. When he dies he will only be remembered by Chris's family and us. Don't be envious of Bob. He might get patreon bucks, but he will never be happy.

Does anyone really think that Bob is any better at finance and business than he is at things like, say, green-screening? Because I don't. Whatever the worst case tax scenario is for him, he's probably paying it. Not out of any sort of principled desire to support the Almighty Government that his kind worship instead of God, but because he's too dumb to do any better. He will of course continue to suck the penis of rich corporate and Dem politician tax evaders who pay lower taxes than he does while benefiting from more taxpayer spending, because he's a totalitarian bootlicker through and through.
 
The GOP tweeted about how they want to advance space travel. Naturally, this has Robert foaming at the mouth with rage because the party of loathsome troglodytes are appropriating the superior future™:

I want Trump to win and do his return to the moon plan just to see Bob's reaction to it.

The frustration-rage is especially tasty because, unusually, Bob is partly correct. When Trump talks space, you really do see lefties and other of Bob's ostensible allies turn incredibly shit-brained (I mean, more shit-brained than usual) on the subject of space exploration. Observe:

Yeah, back in the seventies? It wasn’t the Republicans and the Mayonnaise ghouls that were itching to slash NASA’s budget to fund the Great society.
