The couching of reactionary politics in ironic bullshit has a long and storied history, why do you think that the KKK has titles like Grand Wizard and the like?
I think his videos on the Boogaloo movement and Nick Fuentes are also worth a watch. Well I think most of his stuff is worth a watch, but if you want to know more about the current fascist movement in the US those specific videos are worth watching.

Funny how in another video, Thought Slime said that you can condemn both sides, when talking about Antifa but no one on this forum wants to do that.
And I don't know what he meant exactly so not accusing him of anything but a third video made me unsure about this guy. When talking about anarchism, he said that they consider poverty a form of violence and thus, violence back is self defense but what exactly does he mean by that? That it's okay to kill someone to elevate your poverty?

Anarchism is based on solidarity and mutual aid, it's not killing random people he's approving of, but striking back against the system. To him and other anarchists something like looting a target or other big box store is justified because they work to depress wages, and remove wealth from the area by sending profits back to the corporation rather than putting it into the community.

And the first part of what I said went ignored.

Okay, I see you bitching about how this part of your comment wasn't responded to.
So here is my response: you didn't post the video you are referencing and you have repeated shown yourself to be a bad faith actor in any political discussion on here so I am left thinking, "Dragon Ball Fan is either misconstruing, misremembering, lying, or wrong about what was being said in the video he did not link to".
Happy?

Watched the video.
And assuming you shared the right video I can say conclusively.
Dragon Ball Fan is just wrong about what was being said in the video.
Super ironic considering how the core message of that video is to offer thoughtful criticism (around 4:15 mark) and you think this is "both sides".
I would complain about engaging with you, Dragon Ball Fan being a waste of time. And honestly, it is 99/100 because you post so much and say so little, but in this case I found the video mildly entertaining. Kind of shocking how Thought Slime's 10th video is so relatively naive, because even his cynical ass could not foresee how bad things would get.

I think weather or not I call it "both sides" is semantics. The point is that that the left has a tendency to say "The right got so bad because no one took them seriously as a threat but that could never happen to US."
I'm not saying it has happened but the left in general seems to think it's an impossibility.
