I got introduced to Vaush by videos of him dunking on Ben Shapiro and that one alt-righter who kinda looks like Phillip DeFranco. Those videos are fun, but it's also easy to take apart those idiots. It's like when all those atheist Youtubers used to take down young earth creationists. But then that wasn't getting the views anymore so they moved on to more reactionary misogyny, transphobia, etc.

Once I heard Vaush actually talk about the dumb incoherent shit he believes it became obvious he was a grifter. Strikes me as one of those guys who, like Ben Shapiro, is good at talking quickly and authoritatively about a thing, so they win debates whether or not they're correct, and then that feeds into this massive ego where they start to believe they're just correct about whatever they think. I see that sort of thing with a lot of online personalities.

The fact that he helped Shoe0nhead seamlessly transition from being an alt-right grifter to an anti-woke socdem grifter just proves the hollowness of his ideology. And also really makes me understand what communists mean when they call socdems "social fascists."
