Not only are the countries he is saying have “fine” refugees don’t even speak English as an official language, Africa as a continent has the largest amount of countries that speak English:

Most other African countries speak French, Spanish or another European language as an official language. So what is the issue here? Many Africans have immigrated to Western countries and have integrated fine. It’s insane that Twitch is allowing this kind of rhetoric to be displayed in full velocity on this platform.

    Asmondgold is so far past being relevant. He was intolerable when he was simply making World of Warcraft videos.

      Considering that he is only famous in very narrow circles. And even those like myself who knew of him from his wow days. Had no fucking clue he was somehow twitch’s top political streamer? I’d say those are all important things to get out there. I mean like what the fuck. What the actual fuck. There is no hope for Humanity.

          Hassan has had some particularly shit takes himself. Though honestly I’m not aware of a political YouTuber that hasn’t. That said if I stumbled into a disagreement between Hassan and asmon accidentally. It doesn’t matter what day or what topic it is. I would side with Hassan long before asmon.

          Asmon is the definition of a disgusting, unkempt ignorant incel armchair quarterback. Despite where Hassan and I might sometimes disagree. He is actually educated. Has some idea of what he’s talking about. And is generally out there doing the right thing. So of course it makes a lot of sense that so many people would latch on to a stupid dumbass speaking with confidence over someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. That is after all how Trump got where he is.

    Accept refugees from Gemany

    Like the Nazis who fled to America after WW2 to avoid persecution?

    Actually that’s exactly the folks he wants.

      Yep, he is pro trump and elon and anything nazi. But most of it is just his lack of intelligence. He will read a twitter post and 1sec later pronounce it as the truth on stream, without having any source. Hes a propaganda echo and unfortunately reflects the average American gamer pretty well. Should have stuck to gaming.

          What’s worse is now they’ll go onto Twitter to talk to mechahitler (grok). It’ll feed them manufactured lies and it’ll be taken as a fact because these morons see AI as an absolute authority, or maybe as a scapegoat to justify their hateful ideologies. That’s the “info” they’ll be spreading. Already seen it in YouTube comments.

    Only heard about him for the first time recently, in the context of the Stop Killing Games initiative. He spoke in support of it (which is a good thing, yay), and is apparently involved in some way in the drama that gave SKG the boost it needed.

    Trying to figure out who the hell he is and how he ties into it, I watched one of his videos on YouTube (reacting to someone else’s video about SKG). Instantly got the impression that he’s an asshole… But at least he’s on the right side when it comes to SKG.

        No, assmond just amhas the magical ability to praise Nazis in one sentence then the very next praise Free health care while then I’m jumping right back to praising genocide.

        He has zero political understanding, no foundation and basically just supports what ever is in front of him screaming the loudest.

        He’s the equivalent of a 1 year old with keys being jangled in his face.

        Long as your loud shiny and telling him your the truth he will believe you zero questions asked.

      He used to play world of Warcraft and seems good at it, at least in the old stuff. Then he got famous and now he’s the guy to watch if you like unhinged untreated mental illnesses. Beats me why anyone cares what this neckbeard thinks. It’s not like he’s done anything with his life

      If he doesn’t like today’s games, then he can just ask ChatGPT to make it the old way. Or Grok for that MechaHitler edge.
