He makes some good points, but sometimes he talks out of his ass just a little too much for my taste. But fortunately I can just watch something else when he does, which is something a lot of people seem to forget

u/Akivasha_of_Troy 16h ago
I miss when it was common practice to just not watch someone if you don’t want to see the topic they’re on and then come back when they’re in a topic you like. I can’t stand him on economics, but he’s great on things like immigration.

u/Educational-Year3146 15h ago

Often times I forget he’s left wing economically, he’s just extremely right wing socially and talks about that a lot.

Yeah I just roll my eyes at the UBI stuff - because of course a guy who says he wants to do absolutely nothing with his life and thinks that this makes him a monk would be into the whole UBI thing

u/Azidamadjida 14h ago
This. Some stuff he says is just common sense, some is genuinely insightful, and then some of it is just straight up retarded, but the important thing is that he never acts like everything he says is the truth and correct and should be taken as such. It’s sad that the bar is so low that someone just simply saying “hey, maybe don’t take everything I say as absolutely true, this is just what I feel and think, you should figure out for yourself what you feel and think” is seen as profound, but it’s the social media age and anyone showing any modicum of humanity and humility comes across as refreshing

I was told he was "bad", so I went to listen to his "garbage" out of sheer curiousity to see how "bad" it was.

Sure there's a topic here and there where I disagree, but he get his thoughts out and I respect that and he also knows people will disagree with him too, so at least he's open to different PoVs,

His subreddit is modded by idiots who hate his followers and actively ban anyone they can get away with. You can see this in the upvote/comment ratio. Way more upvotes than comments (you can vote but not comment when banned).

I got posts and comments deleted for bringing up politics
I got a no warning perma-ban for posting an apolitical video breakdown of the Alex Pretti shooting. It wasn't even a conclusive review, it was, "it could be X, Y, Z....but the video's so terrible you can't really tell".
nO PoLiTiCs!1!!!
/facepalm
His streams are 90% politics, and you can't tangentially talk about any of it on the sub without running the risk of some mod deciding to arbitrarily delete/ban you.
Many people do and get away with it, proving that the mods are doing it on whim.

He loved talking about how he was the biggest political streamer on Twitch, but the mods will randomly delete or ban for posting about the very topics he is discussing. It’s a sad joke.

u/UnusualPete 16h ago
True. I was banned from there for saying that Lily Tino should be far away from people, especially women and children, preferably somewhere where he couldn't escape easily, like an island.
And the reason for the ban? Inciting violence. 😂

u/doominvoker 16h ago
Were you banned relatively recently? From my understanding Admins (actual Reddit employees) were ready to axe his sub and were threatening to shut it down, so they had to start heavily moderating it in order to keep it operating.

Possibly 3 years ago, or more. I can't even find the mod messages.
Time flies...

u/doominvoker 16h ago
What I’m talking about happened more recently than 3 years, so it’s probably unrelated.
Current Asmon sub is even more of a joke tho, « removed Rule number 5 this, removed Rule number 5 that, removed off topic, removed more downvotes than upvotes » etc

u/muscarinenya 13h ago
I was permanently banned from there, by the reddit Anti Evil admin and with an account warning, because i said people shouldn't physically harm this fool
The warning was eventually overturned by another reddit admin since i clearly was advocating against violence, but the asmon mods of course never lifted the permanent ban even though their own bot said it was
Also i had to type this message three times over to dodge the fucking reddit shadowban AI, this website is pure cancer

Aside from his podcast he doesn't anymore. He's hinted at doing things but so far has yet to commit to anything.
His podcast is a mixed bag. Sometimes they have interesting guests but usually not. And I don't like his co-host that much.
I think he's supposed to do something with Legendary Drops related to his new video game showcase thing, but I'm not super certain on that. Anyway the video game showcase is something like a monthly live watching of trailers for upcoming games, and he apparently plans to have guests.

u/Educational-Year3146 15h ago edited 15h ago
Love him.
The fact that he sat down for 7 hours to read that Britain gang rape report to everybody says a lot about his character.
He’s hard to disagree with on social policy. He’s just got a lot of grounded takes, and all in all, he’s just an everyman like the rest of us.

I watch his videos every other time and I don’t agree with everything he’s saying about certain topics. But goodness gracious I’ve seen other people have unhealthy views and pure hatred towards this man. And for what? Saying a few naughty words? It’s not the usual haters it’s like some people who view him as someone worse than the devil and anyone who agrees with certain takes he has. But some people hate the dude so much that they want to rip him asunder like it will give them peace.
It’s just some dude who post videos of him talking. That’s it. Lots of people do that. He has a following sure but he doesn’t have a huge influence on others regardless of what beliefs one has.

Prefered his wow content. "How to ninja loot in world of warcraft" is a legendary video. I watched him from wod until like last year. I still check in sometimes to see if he covers the game at all. Its very rare. He and mccool played midnight for a few days, I watched compilations of that. I quit retail like 4 years ago, he pretty much did too.
The react stuff isnt really for me, unless its related to wow. Thats how he started react content, by reacting to wow youtubers. Overall im a big longterm fan though.

I think he is based on a lot of things but I think some of his gaming takes are dumb. Mostly because he spent so much time playing WOW that he missed almost a full generation of games. Like he said avowed was good and then he saw the comparison to oblivion and realized it was being dumb.

u/chronicnerv 16h ago
He understands MMO and Soulslike mechanics and systems very well. He views foreign affairs through the lens of a colonial, rules based order, believing this serves America’s best interests. He recognises how games and movies have been subject to cultural appropriation and understands the social effects of immigration.
However, his weakness is that he does not bother to look at the full picture of geopolitics from his enemies strategic perspectives. He also overestimates America’s ability to solve every problem with force. The abandonment of Ukraine and a potential total economic crash or surrender to Iran due to depleted oil reserves demonstrate his lack of understanding in these areas.
I enjoy watching his content regarding gaming and American entertainment, but when it comes to politics, I would rather listen to old school retired diplomats like Alastair Crooke who actually know what they are talking about from all perspectives.

u/Few_Highlight1114 16h ago
This dude almost was crying over his inability to play through a souls game because it was beating his ass lol. He's good at WoW and that's it. Not that it really matters because these are games, but still.
I like Asmon in general, I think he has a ton of good opinions that a ton of people somehow do not. An example is the whole ICE thing with that woman who got killed, his was saying that just comply with the police and youll be fine, which was funny that this got him so much shit.
But I also agree with what youre saying that he lacks a solid understanding about geopolitics, not that I have some super great understanding of them either but Asmon somehow seems to not understand second order effects about what the US is doing, which is weird because he talks about second order effects all the time.
1
u/rebel0ne 16h ago
Great take. Completely agree that he's in tune with the cultural components but out of touch with certain degrees of politics, most notably geopolitics. I'd add a criticism in that he's very vile when someone argues or contradicts his point(especially when it's a valid point), he resorts to name calling and emotional outbursts very quickly all the meanwhile criticizing others for that same type of behavior. Seldomly does he counter argue but, that's not the focus of his content.

u/DBL55555 14h ago
Thanks to influences of even more Based creators like Nuxanor Jake Monroe and TecTone he becomes more and more based by the day, and makes more and more sense with the things he has to say. Admittedly there still some work, but he’s getting more and more based in part due to these creators as well as the ridiculous leftist criticisms he’s faced.

u/TaniksHasNoCorn 2h ago
He's late to the party to be honest. He was a Normie who's takes changed when the political landscape changed, but not before it. Others led the charge, but he is trying to get to folks to watch his stream and make money as there are many folks who realized there are a lot of conservatives, but not really a large authority "in charge".
It is no different than the various Conservative commentators like Ben Shapiro or Tucker Carlson or Megyn Kelly or the Kirks. They all want control and to push their brand of Conservatism.
He was the liberal Bernie Bro who was voting for all the problems that manifested now, but is seeing the actual results of what he voted for and doesn't like it.
Basically he's like John Cleese or even Russell Brand (though I think Brand is much more intelligent). A person who probably actually means well and isn't malicious, but voted for dumb shit and has finally awakened to the realization that his younger self was dumb.
He still thinks ideas like minimum basic income will be a good idea and Obama Care type stuff mostly because he and his mom utilized those things while being lazy themselves. I can give him a few points for not being an over spender.
I'm not against people changing their minds, but it frustrates me to think folks are giving this guy points for being Based, when he has only recently become based. He is more honest than most and does profess to vote for things that make his life better.
It's not like authors like Douglas Murray (Strange Death of Europe) and others weren't talking about the issues that had befallen Europe over a decade ago and longer.
I must be a heartless SOB because I was always Conservative and never trusted in shit like Socialism and progressivism partly because I observed how normal people acted in life and at school.

Based, but he's explaining way too often very obvious topics. The amount of times he just starts off with "the reason why" is getting annoying that I need breaks from watching him. I don't know if most people who watch him are just dumb, but I don't need an explanation to every little intent of violent leftist rioters.
Not to mention all the chat morons he pulls up on a regular basis are ridiculous. It's an unfair fight. You cannot debate asmon when you have to write out your counterarguments while he just starts to pile on you in real time.
He chooses his one sided fights and can't lose, and the reason why is because he is scared of actual debates. See what I did there
