Auron MacIntyre appreciation thread

I finally got around to watching his debate with dinesh. I love his content, but I really wish he'd stop shying away from theological arguments, especially since the israel debate revolves so heavily around it. Still demolished the jeet though.

I have a very hard time taking a dude seriously who named himself after a Final Fantasy character. Even if that character is too awesome to live

Do we even know his real name?

Did something happen to this guy? I fell off his videos awhile back but saw his twitter feed recently and he's been throwing a fit about the Iran conflict.

Trump says 4-6 weeks. First few weeks Auron's claiming it will be a forever war. Now that it's nearing the end and wrapping up he's framing it as if they have no choice.

It's a little funny that he's spent years talking about real politick and Machiavelli but handles adversity so poorly.

He is responding to real politick: "Trust the plan, but always chimp."

Trump is not the radical dictator the left makes him out to be (and that some of the right wishes he was), but his administration is the best shot we've had in decades to reverse America's engineered decline and he responds to feedback. He's made good progress, but there's more work to be done, much more than can be accomplished in the time he has left in office. It's a generational project, and he needs to lock in his existing gains while laying down the foundations for those following on.

Iran is a dangerous distraction, even if it can be spun as a good geopolitical move. Trump needs to be reminded that good geopolitics will not dismantle the democratic party, who have made it abundantly clear that they will return to replacement migration and punishing their enemies if they are ever allowed back into power. Good geopolitics will not bring the GOPe or the neocons to heel, they are happy to play the part of fake opposition and giving them what they want will not even delay the inevitable backstab.

"So what, we can work on more than one thing at a time," you might say, and you would almost have a point. ICE continues its deportations, the fraud investigations are ongoing, critical legal and legislative battles are being fought. etc. Political capital, however, is not infinite, and even if we get the best-case scenario in Iran, that was time and money spent on 5D foreign strategery that would have gone to better use on domestic problems.

And I am not convinced we'll get the base-case scenario in Iran. It should be a giant red warning flag that some of people and orgs lobbying for it are the same ones responsible for the slog that Iraq and Afghanistan turned into, and who are consistently on the wrong side of every domestic issue. You can bet they'll be channeling their inner Holden Bloodfeast and using every scrap of their respectable bipartisanship to draw this out to America's detriment.

I'm aware of his beliefs because I used to watch his show but none of that explains his current actions.

None of that touches on him doing friendly videos with people calling for Trumps assassination (Morgoth), to rushing to the defense of a guy who said he would testify on behalf of the defense for the killer of Charlie Kirk (Joe Kent), to defending a guy who says the US military is seeking unconditional surrender of iran to literally rape their women (Tucker).

He's spoken about politics being a game of power for years but has fumbled this so hard his enemies are getting easy lay-ups on him and his associates. It's like a guy telling everyone how great at chess he is then the first time you see him play he loses so quickly you question if he even understands the rules.

I was initially asking for clarity from those who still watch him regularly because I enjoyed his content. Upon reading more of his twitter I've lost interest (retweeting Cernovich, tweets that read like they came from Dave Smith, general whiney tone).

He ended up being just another right wing sperg. I'm disappointed because I thought he wasn't.

He's yet another right wing sperg because he... isn't a neocon warhawk slobbering for yet another universally unpopular desert conflict while the country is facing several existential domestic issues? You're not making any sense.

So is it almost over yet, dumb nigger
