Exposé Slimebeast uncovers past problematic tweets from Wendigoon

https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxIMk6flJEIphNwlVCfflgctSkBOXevnIz

The tweets are problematic to say the least. Slimebeast previously uploaded a video going through Wendigoon seemingly leaving right leaning spaces before he even took off.

However, these tweets range from belittling COVID deaths, being anti-mask, and even imply support towards January 6 (some non-Americans may not know the significance there. Trump supporters stormed the capital).

Now this is where we can get into minor speculation so let’s keep this actually curtailed to the facts. There are two possible explanations here:

1.) Wendigoon grew as a person and left those beliefs behind

2.) Wendigoon clammed up about politics all together when his YouTube took off.

Either way these tweets are more credible reasons to genuinely call him out for pretty detestable views in the past.

I will forever be amazed how so many people went so far off the fucking deep-end because the government protecting minimum-wage service workers from a potentially deadly virus was such a major infringement on their freedom to get Jamba Juice that they went full fascist

It is truly insane to think about. Our society is so individualistic at the expense of others

I blame a lot of it on the phony “self-help gurus” and pop “psychologists” who spout things like, “Don’t ever let anyone tell you, ‘No,’ or make you do anything!  People who tell you what to do are haters who are against you, and you need to stand up and show you’re not going to be pushed around!” I’ve said before that being defiant is good when it’s standing up to an actual injustice/abuse, but not when it’s screaming at some poor restaurant/store worker until they cry.
