    I have never watched asmongold but literally everything I have heard about him indicates he is a piece of shit.

        I don’t understand why anyone, other than racists, would like someone who said someone else’s culture was “inferior” and used that as justification for their genocide.

          I get this take, it’s the leftist perspective. Saying for the sake of discussion that there’s a genocide happening, to be fair to Asmongold, he didn’t say he supports it, just that he doesn’t care about its victims.

            I’m going to propose a wild take that being apathetic about a genocide is tantamount to support.

            Edited to add: also, what you seem to call leftism, I call humanism.

              I mean, they’re not the same though. “I don’t care about the Jews” isn’t the same as “throw all the Jews into the oven”. They’re both bad, but that doesn’t mean that one is as bad as the other.

              Edited to add: also, what you seem to call leftism, I call humanism.

              Of course you would. And a right wing fascist would call their perspective humanism too. Your framing matters little to me.

            You keep implying the ideas of protesting the murder of innocent people and the promotion of equality as ‘leftist’, and that bring a negative thing. I, and many others, just call it “having empathy and a conscience”.
