boring moderate

Whenever I see those Persian style braided beards I can't help but wonder what they looked in real life. Was it just a stylistic adaptation of curly hair or did they literally look like that?

>actual Sargon

based

>Carl Benjamin

autistic neckbeard loser

My Persian thread braided his hair like that. They spent a lot of time doing it.

>thread
friend*

First real empire builder in history. He was pretty based, doesn't end up getting surpassed until guys like Cyrus the Great and Alexander the Great show up.

the actual sargon was a pretty cool guy

the youtube pseudo intellectual that goes by the same name is retarded

>retarded
How? I mean overrated and pseudo-intellectual sure, all he does is rant. But from what I've seen he doesn't have a habit of saying anything flat out wrong and retarded.

It's a meme. Veeky Forums is filled with people who enjoy guys like libertarian socialist rants and hbomberguy I.E skinny acne riddled white kids who like to make snarky comments every 2 secionds. Both of these guys have jumped on Sargon (because he is a reactionary, fascist and so on) and now people on Veeky Forums do it too.

Sargon's videos are mainly about going after the low hanging fruit, and the only real meat of those kind of videos is whether you like his style or comedy or not. Granted, when he tries to do something deeper he is usually wrong but that is 1% of his channels content.

His counterparts on the other side do the same thing too, funnily enough. LSR will quite happily make a video making fun of Paul Joseph Watson and see himself as some destroyer of neoliberal though. He rarely gives anything of substance though.

so in short every political person on youtube and on the internet is a retard and if you want to talk real politics you should turn off the computer and go outside

>his style of comedy
>comedy

What? All he does is pick videos of people of a certain sociopolitical spectrum being blatantly retarded, explains why they're retarded, and then calls them retarded. How is that comedy?

99% of youtube userbase and content creators are insufferable fuckwits. It's hardly reserved for political topics.

Yes.
We'll, I mean isn't that the definition of talkhost comedy. I don't see anything different between the style of let's say John Oliver and Sargon.
They both look at dumb shit that has happened and offer commentary over it.

Well John oliver is an insufferable piece of inhuman shit too. I guess that's the kind of person you have to be to do this sort of stuff.

>sargon of akkad
>comedy

he's just the centre right equivalent of an sjw

I hate to do this because it makes it painfully obvious that I'm too interested in these guys but:
He stated in the video in which he informed about that survey (so not a backtrack, but the original intention) that the surveys was meant to see how many people actually see social justice courses as a problem, not to change anything and not necessarily a representation of his opinion

>if you want to talk real politics you should turn off the computer and go outside

ahh yes, the infamous pub intellectualism

Alt right neckbeard who panders to 14 year old neckbeards about how feminism is the reason they can't get laid. Dude is a joke.

As for the actual Sargon, he is rolling in his grave every time someone googles him and sees right wing propaganda

youtube.com/watch?v=XdxbrjUBRXU

what you'd prefer to circle jerk while getting nothing done ?

because that's the current state of politics on the internet

no it's not, in the slightest

a bunch of political movements sprung up from internet retardation, the modern feminists, sjws, alt right, black lives matter

And they have actual impact, irl demonstrations, getting academia personnel fired, lobbying for minor laws (that get passed), radicalising people to the point of them shooting cops, etc.

Not to mention a bunch of non retarded political discussion, but that's more outside the scope of demagogy

Youtube is a a bad format for arguing and political thought and has a lot of people who are quite misinformed on the topic. This is just a fact.

>14 year old
>neckbeard
>can't get laid

Your ad homs are self contradicting.

Hes a smart guy with some valid points and good opinions. He uses criticism to advertise himself, which is a pretty interesting and respectable approach.

My issue with him is that he thinks every individual is a microcosm. He shows a video of one person being an asshole and then argues that its representative of an entire group. He's extremely hippocritical in that way.

Oh and if you criticize him he'll always challenge it, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but his hoard of loyalists will always take his side and completely remove the oppurtunity for an opponent to argue back. It makes him seem like he's never wrong, which makes him more popular and the cycle continues.

internet is more than just youtube though

Not to mention that 3-5 beers with the local lads isn't conductive to a very serious and informative discussion on politics either.

politcal discussion is the worst thing to happen to politics

every time there is a discussion of politics be it on reddit, Veeky Forums, tumblr, youtube and so on all devolve into shit flinging since nobody listens to the other side of the argument they're just trying to figure out a way to make a snarky response and to make themselves look good so they can boost the circlejerk

internet political discussion i mean to say

>the modern feminists, sjws, alt right, black lives matter
All of which are the pinnacle of internet retardation.

>politcal discussion is the worst thing to happen to politics
amen

/thread

I read the words on the suit in the middle as 'Big Guy' and "Big Goy' before I realized it was Big Gov. I need a break from this place.

Hey Sargon!

MillenialWoes is a better youtuber to watch for this sort of thing.

Couldn't agree more.

this

These aren't Persian you fucking nigger.
This is east Semitic style, Persians just stole it.

Actual Sargon: Considering OP's image, I guess you don't want to know about that Sargon.

Youtube celebrity:

When his videos are purely informative, such as telling the events of college drama, just explaining a book's opinion of cult behaviour or defining what he considers the alt-right or the regressive left, his content is good.

When he focuses on petty shit and easy targets or has to drop his opinion in any way, his videos are just too diluted and aimless to really be anything more than background noise for you to listen.

As I said, I really liked his explanatory videos. The sections were well segmented, and even if you disagree with him you can point out exactly where he got wrong. But, for example, his videos post-EU referendum were a mix of ignorance and retardation. It was just him whining that 49% of the population wasn't celebrating the vote, and that somehow the country was going to go towards freedom now.

>Not watching the only good political channel whose whole premised is based on being skeptic to everything

Sargon isn't right wing though.

If you saw him take a live political test, he's actually on the left

Twice as insufferable as Neil Tyson and somehow more pedantic.

sargon is a left libertarian memer

It's true.

Since the invention of the internet people have gotten retardedly radicalized because everyone wants to be some special snowflake ideology or fight in some retarded revolution.

Historical Sargon? Probably a huge asshole.

The Carl Boy? He along with the banana fucker and every other person in the nu-atheist community that survived help, and helped, ruin the discourse on the internet. They've done this by by being hyperbolic about every social issue that's minor like it's major, justifying radical elements on both sides of the aisle and publicizing the hell out of themselves and everything they say like feminism is the next coming of the antichrist and not an idea that can be agreed with or disagreed with, and argued with while respecting view points. Like what the internet used to be like, until the fact of yelling and screaming about how everything is doomed became a popular pass time that generated ad revenue.

He, and others like him, who exploit the uneducated dimwits, have basically made the regular internet a pit of screams where you can't talk about anything. And stormfront didn't help in the slightest.

He made it worse.

First real emperor, his greatness is somewhat exaggerated since most of the groundwork for his empire was laid by the last Sumerian king but he reaped the immortal fame of being "the first" anyway.

every thread

God he's even worse

People that use a historical person as their username or avatar are dumb shits 100% of the time.

go back to /pol/ sargon is good

ITT: Both /pol/ and the non-libertarian left band together to shit on the same guy

hes a pseudo intellectual

>sargon is good
Is this what happens when you exchange one contrarian perspective (/pol/) for another?

most left lolbertarians on youtube are memers but there are way better ones than sargon

The last I've seen Sargon he was on Louder with Crowder trying to tell him that Jesus was a socialist hippie. That kind of ignorance just annoys me. He's an atheist and doesn't know shit about the bible or the historical context but he's going to try speaking with authority to an actual Christian.

As someone who's met LSR personally, he really doesn't see himself as some kind of prominent revolutionary or bastion against conservatism. His videos are an occassional hobby, his actual life focus is far more on his music.

if /pol/ doesn't like him he must be good

>sargon is a left libertarian memer
>there are people alive right now that actually believe this is true

Do you just disagree on his opinions or this type of content in general? Or is there anything he does fundamentally wrong?

Imho, his channel is the best way to approach this type of content. He usually takes a light-hearted, comedy focused approach, while still explaining rationally why he disagrees with it. When he doesn't want to joke about something, he makes his Under the Helmet podcast.

It just seems to me to be the most organised approach to this type of content, specially when all other channels either just make 2 second remarks or take things way too seriously and exaggerate it.

Sargon has enemies from all sides of the political spectrum because hes the biggest meme ideology in existence, left libertarian.

it's literally what he got on the political compass test

Also in survey it was found that most of his viewers are left libertarian.

Sorry you follow a meme ideology son.

Left Libertarian to most people means Ancom, AnSyn, Noam Chomksy. etc

This kid is an underage.

He sperged out and got BTFO on another thread

Left Libertarian is just the poitical side that's easiest to bully.

/pol/ hates them because they are lefties

Progressives hate them because they don't believe in institutional racism/sexism

Libertarians hate them because they still want the government.

While the compass itself is a relatively okay means of defining ideology (to an extent), the quiz that accompanies it on the website is massively biased in favour of left-libertarian results.

Or Dave Rubin or Maajid Nawaz

youtube.com/watch?v=u20i_rrD_SU

>Left Libertarian

What does this even mean? I don't see how anyone can call themselves a libertarian and want more government.

literally the first time i've ever participated in a thread about sargon

you might have schizophrenia, lad

It's european leftism, afaik. The American political definitions are different than europe and makes things difficult to define.

Aren't the posters on the history and humanities board meant to be educated in history and humanities

I cannot fucking bear his comedy and overall presentation style. What he mostly does is debunk retarded flat earthers or creationists or whatever which is all fine and good but the format itself is painful.

It's just taste I guess but the rationalwiki le satire shit is one of the things I enjoy least in this world and he embodies that sort of thinking and humor. I've never watched an opinion video of his if he even makes those and don't really care what he has to say.

Opposition to both capitalism and the state, usually accompanied by a dose of intersectional feminism

We're not meant to have anything.

>all those edgy ass college atheists watching his videos
what does this man look like IRL

Talking about Sargon the great.

Truly the builder of a civilization.


Youtuber...
Meh...
He has some insightful videos. Like:
youtube.com/watch?v=OXa80iqZQqI
And his history channel is pretty good
youtube.com/channel/UCSMG40p6XHFTeXv5noF6Wdw/videos

Tho most of his videos are boring, repetitive fun poking at retarded "progressive" things and people on the internet. It's boring.

His political views are imho decent.
This.


Generally if you want to watch something insightful about politics this:
youtube.com/user/CaspianReport/videos
Is the best channel out there.
I'd like to make a channel in this style, but i'm not confidant enough in my ability and my amount of time to put into it.

a fat neckbeard fedora tipper.

also hes a literal cuck

>also hes a literal cuck
tell me more

"Libertarian" as a term was coined by communists not by an-caps, in Europe it's still a type of radical socialist position, not the hyper-capitalism of American Libertarianism.

It's not even the meme definition of cuckold. Hes literally raising someone else's child like the cuckoo bird the word cuckold comes from.

This has been going on rampantly since WW2, RAF in the 70s seems like a great example

>stole

Correct term is adopted it.

look for the Osprey pictures about Assyrian kangs

That statue isn't Sargon of Akkad

Did you watch him debate the feminist? He was blown out of the water so fast and ranted about off-topic things, it was such an embarrassment I don't know how he continues posting videos.

Also you're a cuck.

it's fundamentally impossible for Veeky Forums to like a YouTuber unless they discovered them

That's a lie.

>Carl
>Comedy

I am interested in watching this debate, do you have a link?

youtube.com/watch?v=JTfCkp0Juao

>1 hour
Wew
Thanks

Looks like this, as tragic as you'd expect.

These fucking assholes have ruined the word empirical.

That and the word 'rational'. My thoughts is, whatever these people describe themselves as, they are most likely the opposite of that.

Especially the banana fucker

Funny thing is rationalism and empiricism are fucking evil things to start with.

>My thoughts is, whatever these people describe themselves as, they are most likely the opposite of that.
Yup, Sargon of Akkad was the guy who criticized a video for being too long, which was about his inability to sit through criticism. I'm not even joking, that's literally, 100% true.

Banana fucker?
I would agree building a world view purely on rationalism and empiricism is wrong, but can be important/ useful when used right (ie not by Carl)
I've seen that, fucking funny. Just shows how much of an uninformed little man he is. I honestly don't know why he has such a following.

That's pretty funny

>Banana fucker?

The Amazing Atheist. The guy that took advantage of a mentally ill tranny.

wow dude you mad

real one was cool af youtube one is a dirty commie

The cuckoo doesn't raise other chicks. Other birds raise the cuckoo's
