Not only are the countries he is saying have “fine” refugees don’t even speak English as an official language, Africa as a continent has the largest amount of countries that speak English:

Most other African countries speak French, Spanish or another European language as an official language. So what is the issue here? Many Africans have immigrated to Western countries and have integrated fine. It’s insane that Twitch is allowing this kind of rhetoric to be displayed in full velocity on this platform.

    I started kind of liking this guy right before he ripped the mask off. This is the same thing that happened with Rogan. Started to like his content and within a few months he went full douchebag. I’m cursed.

      same here, I used to like his Warcraft stuff and thought his house tour being complete untamed chaos was so hilarious. never knew of his political stuff until he commented on gaza and I was instantly made aware of the reality of his views.

      Maybe this experience is telling you to question your beliefs on yourself, your family, other people, your country, the world…

    Lol I remember Dunkey complaining about this guy and twitch streamers in general showing up to E3 because “The only Twitch streamer that plays games is Pete Dorr, and he wasn’t even on there”

    I used to enjoy asmogold years ago when it was mostly just showing and talking about gaming (WoW mount offs etc)…then he started showing who he really was more and more and I noped out.

      They only show their true colors when the feel that it is safe for them to do so. So this says more about Twitch and our current society than about this asshole.

    Asmongold says stupid things and then only responds to the lowest hanging fruit.

    He’ll say we can’t take refugees because XYZ, then people will respectfully counter his arguments, but he effortlessly ignores them.

    Then someone calls him a loser or makes a silly argument and that’s when he’s “You see? This is the problem.”

    Just a circus act for idiots.

      There is no point responding to right wing idiots; all of their speech is logical fallacy and bad faith rhetoric. They’re best ignored, or talked over. They can’t be bothered to respond to anyone, they just spout their own bullshit, no matter what anyone else says, so we as a society need to refuse to debate them or address them directly. Whatever they say just respond with another fact that refutes their entire existence

    Accept refugees from Gemany

    Like the Nazis who fled to America after WW2 to avoid persecution?

    Actually that’s exactly the folks he wants.

      If he doesn’t like today’s games, then he can just ask ChatGPT to make it the old way. Or Grok for that MechaHitler edge.

    Asmongold is a huge piece of shit. I never liked the dude. No idea why people listen to anything he says, dudes a grade A moron.

    People like him have ruined the online gaming sphere with their low-life personalities and acting like racist children who just learned to talk.

      Bots are easy to buy to make you look popular. Also 50,000 people watching isn’t really all that many people in the greater aspect of the world.

      He’s a human garbage dumpster. He’ll probably die from contamination from a mouse eating something that he eats later.

        I thought the voices for this were AI generated until I heard his quote on Palestine at the end and remembered that very clip which landed him a Twitch suspension. Fucking hell, those are all actual Asmongold quotes?

      Parasocialites are the biggest rejects of society and are the most likely to fall into the alt right pipeline because they’re unable to get proper socialization anywhere else.

    He will get away with it just like last time by saying sorry I didn’t know or read any facts, and was just going with my inner hateful selfish racist genocidal feelings about other ethnicities whom I hate and wish the worst upon. Anyway, thank you for the $10000 donations XxReatrd420GamerxX

    I see clips of this guy in my recommended videos section on youtube all the time. I never click on them and I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips. Either way, I find it odd how signal-boosted this clown is. The gaming-to-politics pipeline is too strong.

      He knows nothing about politics, but realized that saying right wing bullshit gets engagement so now this is what we have.

        Sometimes it feels like the internet is just a giant rat maze and people chase after whatever the algorithm rewards them for chasing.

      I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips.

      This is why, lol. Since his videos are generally popular on YouTube, if you have no watch history for your recommendations to be based on, it’s just always going to feed you whatever’s popular, which will include his stuff.

      You’re doing it to yourself, in other words. I actually have watched a couple videos of his in the past, and yet, because it’s rare, I never see his videos being recommended to me. Hell, in my experience, stuff recommended to me is rarely similar to things I’ve seen more than a month or so ago.

      I don’t think it’s really gaming-to-politics. I think it’s more like gaming-to-very-loud-bigot. The fact that bigotry is so tightly coupled into right wing politics is just coincidental.
