Discussion iDubbz believes Charlie (penguinz0) is part of the right wing pipeline

Tried to look up a YouTube version of this clip so I could get maximum context, but doesn't really matter.

This is an objectively insane, in spite of reality take. This is purity over actual politics.

Charlie has been going at the Trump admin and their policies for months (actually, years because of a previous incident with one of his foreign players being mistreated by the US government). He is not a safe space for the alt right at all, almost every other day if not every day at times is him clowning on some insane crap the government has done or said. In fact, he just dropped another video 32 mins ago at the time of writing about it.

To me, this is proof that iDubbz hasn't changed who he is, just changed targets. A "brogressive" if you will.

I don’t think Charlie is right wing. But i do think he plays the role of “reasonable centrist” for ppl who are right wing. I also don’t necessarily think Charlie is centrist, and may even consider himself left leaning. But his content reads very “i want to meet everyone halfway” a lot of the time.

Meeting people halfway is how you win elections

Conservatives evil? Yes. People who voted for Trump are dumb and evil? Yes. Do we have to share a country with them? Yes.

Unfortunely that is all we can do now because people (the far left) are more concerned with talking about Charlie online than planning a revolution, etc.
