Idk when society started depending on twitch game streamers for political insight but it's really been fucking with my head. Sorry bro, WoW raid experience doesn't exactly translate to expert on international relations.

    Wait, you're telling me I don't get educated about International geo-political affairs by standing in the fire of a raid boss?

    Then where did I get all my actual geo-political knowledge from? Reading? Education? Fuck off with that.

    There are actually a few twitch streamers that have political experience who stream about politics. They've run for office, or worked in D.C., so they have some interesting insights.

    But that's not Asmongold by a longshot.

    It's a lot easier to amplify shitty opinions through stealthily promoting shut-ins that "organically" spread the right poison than to try and turn a journalist or a legitimate artist into a mouth piece. Peter Theil probably loves boosting characters like this with bots.
