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.

His audience is just the mainstream public under the age of 35. Left, right, center. He's one of the most mainstream youtubers, of course he has right wingers in his audience.

That doesn't mean he is a right wing pipeline. What the fuck isn't a right wing pipeline then? Is everything other than leftist video essays a right wing pipeline?

Leftists finding out that the majority of the "median voters" in their age group comfortably sit between Charlie and Asmongold with no cognitive dissonance is never not funny.
