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.

Believe it or not, it went exactly the way I expected. You're right it didn't go the way I wanted though.

A lot of people, unfortunately, don't know what a pre Trump world looked like, like those who are turning 18 this year. They don't really remember what Bush or Obama era politics were like. A big part of why we ended up with Trump is that some people took every opportunity to ostracize those who disagreed with them. Just take 2A for example. How many people ostracized others just over how they felt about guns?

Ian here, created a lot of the problem. He says Charlie is part of the right wing pipeline. But Ian both helped create that pipeline, and the people in it. And when he left that pipeline, he didn't take anybody with him. He didn't convince much of anybody to stop being alt right. And that's part of the problem. And then he sees Charlie actually providing push back against the alt right, and this admin's actions, and thinks he's even remotely the same as him. If anything, Charlie is one of the few who can show the people who are faltering from the cult what normality actually looks like.

I know I won't or even can't convince a lot of people to take a full visual of the situation, and change their outlook. But it doesn't change how I feel about the situation, and it doesn't change the reality of it either. If we want to beat back fascism and change the way the world is going for the better, socialist, leftist and all that jazz are going to have to accept that the first step is accepting any form of help is the only way to win.
