      he’s more than a bit of a d-bag FYI

      can you elaborate please? Not too familiar with his work, but it seemed like decent analysis of social media spectacle/attention economy in capitalist realism for the most part

        They, for some god forsaken reason, decided they wanted to debate Milo Yiannopolis until everyone told them not to, then got defensive and weird. More an ego thing than anything, also they trend on the socdem side of shit.

          Tbh Peter wasn't going to platform Milo, it was an event set up by https://betterdiscourseevent.com/. Milo got a platform no matter what, Peter just thought he could drop some theory on the audience and offer some leftist perspective. I think Destiny ended up doing the debate instead, and he's just a neolib. I don't really think Peter or Destiny are that great at debate, but neither is Milo. Peter isn't really a soccdem. iirc they and Ashley are into guns and stuff, and are sort of class reductionists. Peter is one of the better read breadtubers as well imo.

              • BDE booked Milo before finding an opponent
              • Peter is in no way affiliated with BDE
              • Therefore Peter did not platform Milo

              How did you come to that conclusion?

                Well yes Peter did not platform Milo because they didn't debate and Peter's audience was not then exposed to whatever vitriol Milo planned to spew.

          Oh yeah, that. If there's not more of a substantial critique of them, I'll be filing that under 'bs leftist infighting' and proceed with my browsing

      How he bagged her is a mystery to me, maybe he just has a huge hog.

      Holy shit please uproot your dumbass way of talking about women because this is demeaning as shit, you don't fucking "bag" people, they agree to marry you and you live together because you both want to, you fucking weirdo.

          I get it, all's I'm saying is we all have stupid remnant fucked up thoughts. I figured the hog thing was a joke, but the bag thing probably wasn't. But that's the thing, he has a public persona as does she, so she could well be a complete dipshit too. Or he's not so bad. Either way.

      Googling Ashley Coffin before and after might shed light on that
