He strikes me more like a nihilist or at least realist. He does react to political videos like the Trump interview where he complained about Harris “suddenly being black”. But Asmon mostly makes fun of all the idiocy. But he also makes fun of idiocy on the left and that seems to get gobbled up by his commentors.
But all in all he doesn’t seem to care about stuff, including himself. He just states how things are without much evaluation beyond objectively bad things.
Like, he’ll state that he has an unhealthy lifestyle. He’ll state that people make fun of him. He’ll state there are transsexual people. He’ll state people get upset about transsexuals. Could be construed as right-wing, but there is no valuation in those statements because they’re objectively true.
He’ll also say that there is violence against transsexuals and that that is fucked up. Could be construed as left-wing but I would say that’s as objectively morally bad as one would be able to call anything so.
His followers and detractors seem to ignore everything left leaning he says and instead just focus on everything even slightly right leaning. Especially taking any statement out of context. Like here: youtu.be/xBzc3CJOj9I
I don’t like the guy but I think he is entertaining. I just have to stay clear of his comment section.
I think he’s aware that the statements he makes are always objectively correct and the right wing audience wants to believe that he is on their side when it usually isn’t the case. Especially when discussing about the current direction of games.
I feel you, I needed a bread knife to slice a loaf and there is a 4 day waiting period before I can go down to my FKL and pickup my turbo-bread-saw 9000.
I’ve moved around in the last year and literally registered for library cards in two cities earlier this week thinking of this post. Nice to know it’s still making the rounds
Think about that though. I guess it’s no big deal to younger people since Mars has been reachable for their whole life, but the fact that we have robots on Mars taking pictures of a solar eclipse and sending it back to earth is just amazing to me! Mars was a huge mystery when I was a kid. Heck, my childhood was at the tail end of society wondering if there were martians living on Mars.
Yep! They thought Venus might be habitable too. When The War of the Worlds aired, listeners (who missed the disclaimer) thought it was real and panicked.
NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars has returned a stunning sequence of images of its moon, Phobos, eclipsing the sun. From Mars’ Jezero Crater, the rover’s SkyCam and MastCam took over 65 images of the event on February 8, one per second, to ensure it captured the short event.
