Another conspiracy-mongering alt right c*nt, who acquired a thirst for power. Yes, sir - that's exactly what this country needs.
It's frightening, the extent to which this whole Brexit thing f*cks with the heads of otherwise seemingly reasonable people...
smh

Alright, it looks like I’m going to need to make one more final final post because I’ve continued to be misunderstood.
I didn’t know Sargon was something of a triggering person around here. Regardless, I haven’t listened to him much. I’ve seen a few videos, and like most people, he makes some good points, and says some stupid things. I listen to a wide range of youtubers with differing opinions, without having to agree with anything specifically any of them say. I like to hear all ideas and then come to my own conclusions. I’m not impressed with the tribal vibes I’m getting from some people here.
When I said it’s great Sargon is running, I didn’t mean specifically because it’s him, I meant it’s great to have someone independent and non corrupt. At least I hope he isn’t, and hope he doesn’t become so.
For those who write youtubers or other people off entirely, I would encourage them to seek out and listen to at least one of their videos in full before coming to a judgement. Again, this isn’t specific to Sargon. Anyone. I’ve fallen into the trap before of only hearing about people from the filtered perspective of some other people, who can often misrepresent them or leave out important parts. When I’ve then listened to them myself, I may not agree with everything they say, but I do recognise the ways in which bias has been applied. I’ll cite Jordan Peterson as an example here. I stand by most of the criticism I’ve levelled at him before, but I now realise he’s made a load of good points too, spoke out against a lot of bullshit, and was correct about something I thought he wasn’t, all because I was hearing about him through a filter.
Anyhow. I’m out, for realsies this time.

Carl doesn't trigger me because I fucking know him. I have chatted with him quite a few times online .He's an absolute moron and a immoral scumbag who doesn't make good points and his critics are 100% right and any time he's actually had to defend his points he's failed utterly and resorts to insults, harassment or censorship . So nothing you have said his defense is true and has nothing to do with "tribalism" And defending Peterson too. You have gone full Dave Rubin .
Carl's so fucking dumb he once said he was quoting Nietzsche when what he was quoting was Nietzsche quoting Socrates when in the very quote Nietzsche said he was quoting Socrates .

You tube is not a reliable source of information. Anyone can and do just put whatever on there.

Well, technically, like Tommy Robinson, but that’s generally the same ballpark of lunatic that Nigel isn’t quite in and at least has enough moral fiber and intellect to oppose (even if it isn’t much more than that.)
He left because he could no longer keep up with shits like Yaxley-Lennon in the ugliness stakes and his ego couldn't stand being upstaged. He wanted to be the new Oswald Moseley, only more successful, turns out he's actually the new William Joyce.

Wouldn't the new William Joyce actually have been Nick Griffin? At any rate, IIRC, it looks like Farage actually got further than Mosley did. Then again, I could be wrong; my main source for information on Mosley is The Code of the Woosters.

That's kind of the right-wing way. You harass some lib, it's their fault for being offended. You get harassed, WAAH! Take the position that suits you at the moment, no matter if you've made the opposite argument just a few minutes ago.

Jesus. Never thought i'd see someone consider Sargon a "good candidate". I don't think we need another racist, anti-women prick in westminster, it's pretty full of them as it is.
Also, if you think Farage is genuine, i'd like to point you to the time he said that we'd get all that money for the NHS, and immediately went back on it as soon as brexit went through? He's as genuine as kim kardashian's arse.
I know i've been away for a while, but i really wasn't expecting to come back to you diving head first down the alt-right bullshit hole.
