Despite the intended irony of the picture coming off [just a little ] trite for shits and giggles, it's actually a pretty tight little dynamic that's being unpacked here. Thanks all.
I'm not done yet (although they are still freeloaders)

Just another example of him being mischaracterized in any case. He's certainly had his cringey moments, but I'd still take him over the majority of politicians I have here in the US.
It includes a YouTube broadcast in which Mr Benjamin says: ‘I can be quoted as saying you can f*** young boys. It’s actually not as controversial as you think. Depends on the child, doesn’t it? The ancient Greeks were pederasts. It was considered to be normal. It was mentoring.’

And that quote about boys wouldn't be sarcasm right? A joke? A deliberate troll from a man who prides himself on creating controversy?
No, of course not. Can't be any other answer

Or Carl Benjamin's a piece of irredeemable human excrement.

Or you're unwilling to consider any semblance of context due to your blind hatred of him?
I feel like this guy isn't someone who should be in office. Using the ancient Greek/Italy thing about pedophilia being a regular occurrence like 2500 years ago to juxtapose how we treat it today; yawn. I so just want to ignore this and assume it won't turn out like Trump.
Funny though, how I think about politics. I wouldn't say it was optimism but I really felt during the campaign that Trump was fit to be a formidable president. He very steadily though made his campaign a complete matter of spite against not only his party, but of the whole system to the point where nothing he says is reliable and simultaneously reported on ad nauseum. That's actually something I felt about Sargon when watching his Wisecrack response video. Just not a reliable rebuttal.

So what was the context then?
You ask that like I know. Thing is though, you don't either. That's the point.
No that's a pathetic answer, the only context we need to know is that Carl Benjamin is an edgelord with the mentality of a 14 year old, who appeals to people who think their smarter than everyone else but don't have a clue what their talking about.
