This isn't about fanboyism. The government is the enemy, and this attack is coming from them. Fuck the DOJ, and fuck Mayorkas, that slimy rat.
Do I know who they are really? No, I don't so I'm not going to get that attached about it...
Well, you should get attached. This matters. This is about free speech, not any individuals. Of the batch, I mainly like Matt. I'd have more negative things to say than positive about many of the others. (Benny Johnson is boring and adds nothing to his content. Lauren Southern has flipflopped way too much. Dave Rubin is a washed up shill. Lauren Chen goes way back and is kind of cool [and hot], but can also be a bit flipfloppy and milquetoast. Tim Pool is obnoxious, but I think useful. Taylor Hansen seems cool, from the little I've seen. As mentioned, I like Matt Christiansen.) Doesn't mean I'm going to toss them out as Russian agents, because that's complete and utter bullshit, and I'm not retarded enough to believe the DOJ.
None of these people are Russian assets. I could give you an "at worst" scenario, and it wouldn't even be that bad...but I don't even want to give the fed fuckers even that much credibility. This is too convenient; until proven otherwise, I just assume this was the US DOJ pulling their standard bullshit.
I didn't claim they were Russian agents, just involved with glowies generally, you can be a glowie asset without being directly involved, if this turns into a thing it's easy to see they got duped at best which doesn't make them look good in this situation even if they weren't malicious. Fyi, to be clear, I think this is an issue because it shouldn't be 'illegal' to simply take money for certain videos. However from a personal perspective I really dislike it when there's a lack of transparency from these people about who they take money from and for what reason because they're attempting to deceive me.
This is why I largely stopped watching most political commentators, especially given that they're not really saying anything that revolutionary either. They either turn out to be some form of glowie shill or they're open shills where their sponsor reads take up half their video before they get to the point and you realise any random internet commenter could have made the exact same point for free anyway.
Edit: Honestly surprised with the usual paranoia on this site about glowies that you guys are going out of your way to stick up for them, they are not looking good if they got greedy and took money under the table for videos, this does reek of fanboism and I'll call it out regardless.
...it's easy to see they got duped at best which doesn't make them look good...
If nothing else, I can respect you sticking by your absolutely retarded take, and doubling down.
'If the massive globalist government claims to get someone near someone you might know, you totally deserve getting your shit destroyed by the powers that be.'
Shit, dude. You're smarter than this. You live in the UK, and area always going on about the nefarious and dystopian shit they get up to. But now if you can get six degrees of separation from a fedboi you're complicit? Again, just absolutely braindead take.
Edit: Honestly surprised with the usual paranoia on this site about glowies that you guys are going out of your way to stick up for them...
The glowies are the ones doing this. What is your hangup on this? You're the one "sticking up for the glowies," if anything.
...they are not looking good if they got greedy and took money under the table for videos, this does reek of fanboism and I'll call it out regardless.
What are you even talking about at this point? That's not even close to anything anyone but retarded leftists are saying...
Do I think it's a trap? Yes it absolutely could be, you guys aren't paying attention to what I post because you're going full fanboi. Even if everything everyone is saying is true about the situation, at the end of the day, they took money from glowies and got greedy.
That's my problem with them, this is less to do with the DOJ supposedly entrapping them with a fake honeypot for me, it's more to do with the fact that they agreed to such a shady deal in the first place. I think as well people should also potentially take note of how all the other paranoid and likely slightly autistic youtubers who do talk about glowies all the time probably never even looked at that crap because it seemed shady.
You guys might find me annoying and retarded now but I promise you that none of them are going to come out of this looking good especially it turns out they were taking money from more than one government source. It's like with the whole Hawk Tuah girl being mysteriously astroturfed, it all fucking glows like Chernobyl and I've already done my ranting about red pill podcasters.
Here's to hoping it turns into nothing, I mean that sincerely, but eh, it's not going to be a good look for them if they're getting taken down.
you guys aren't paying attention to what I post because you're going full fanboi.
Literally no one is fanboying. Tim Pool, who most people here don't like, is probably the primary target. I already explained I don't even like most of the people involved.
Also, we're paying attention to what you're saying. You're just wrong.
...at the end of the day, they took money from glowies and got greedy.
Says fucking who? You're so off base it's just sad.
...the fact that they agreed to such a shady deal in the first place.
Again, says who? I don't even get where you're getting any of this, or why you're jumping to the absolutely worst conclusion, and giving the DOJ, leftist media, and leftist bots and shills the benefit of the doubt, and fully condemning the right wing independent creators.
It would be like if the UK government said Lotus Eaters were terrorists, the BBC ran with the story, and a bunch of bots were obviously weaponized to harass the Lotus Eaters. And I just said, "wow, really disappointed in the Lotus Eaters, how could they be so scummy?" I'd never do that though, because I'm not retarded.
You guys might find me annoying and retarded...
I don't usually mind you, but you're certainly being retarded on this issue, sadly.
...I promise you that none of them are going to come out of this looking good...
Yeah, because all of our enemies have decided to try to end them, because they were a threat, and are a useful tool to try to shout 'foreign interference.'
This will absolutely hurt their reputations...that's the whole point of the fucking attack.
it's not going to be a good look for them if they're getting taken down.
You edited that it, so I'll address that too. Holy shit, stop. If YouTube takes them down, it will make them look bad? YouTube is complicit. It's Google/Alphabet, who works with the government. Holy fuck, it's the whole point. To get rid of them. This isn't rocket science.
Dude, quit being retarded.

This is the best tl;dr of all those talking heads.
And this is what the DOJ is punching at. Milquetoast flip-floppers against Kammunism.
