It’s almost like a dumbass mentally slow adult who plays video games for a living and lives in filth might not have educated opinions
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.
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.
And they’ll never reach the heights of asmond without the botfarms that amplify the signal to the algorithms.
No doubt, I wrote game streamer quite specifically - no background or education in politics, but have an audience carried from unrelated activities and influence it.
Not to mention his wow raiding consisted of a lot of screaming at people for fucking up and IMO any success was despite him not because of him.
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.
Always has been listening to celebrities. So before you were born
Hm, I mean I’ve known celebs to drop a comment on an issue close to them, or do an interview, start a charity - but how many pivoted to doing 16 hours of live political commentary, across all headlines and verticals, every day? These streamers have no credentials to be a pundit, yet still flood the feeds with their opinions. Seems like a distinct difference.
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.

They learned that cooperation is perfect…to coordinate and conquer those who are deemed weaker.
I wonder what the guy with the blood and cum wall thinks of the matter. -people apparently
Can’t hold that against him a good blood and cum wall really ties the room together.
True fashion insight mr cumfart
Nah they’re nihilists, they don’t believe in anything
I… Uh don’t want to know, but at this point, pretty much have too, I’d also hope that googling “blood and cum wall” whatever you’re talking about would be the first result, but anyone want to save me a Google? *For anyone wondering I guess he had some kind of dental work and would wipe blood on the wall due to depression or whatever his base eats up. I’m depressed AF I don’t let my body fluids linger much longer than a day, definitely don’t steam them
You know he doesn’t live in filth since a long time alredy? He’s just meming that for shits and giggles…
Asmon isn’t going to fuck you bro
Deep
didn’t need to draw him in a flattering way tbh
If that forehead topples over in traffic, it will kill a family of four.
It’s a good thing he can’t go outside then.
Stream of consciousness streamer + politics == hot shit… Asmongler was always fucked, but edgy attic dwelling yet mostly harmless and amusing to what he is now is quite a departure. It’s like he took up the place on twitch to counter our favourite prada clad champagne socialist Hasan. The modern need for sychophancy is psychotic.
He should just stick to talking about WoW lol
When playing video games is too hard so you have to stream react content.
when you’re mentally unfit to play videogames what else are you supposed to do?
he’s just trying to build a community of other mentally unwell people so they can jerk each other off and suck the shit out of Trumps ass.

I’m remarkably jealous of my blind girlfriend right now.
Use a screen reader so you’re not alone
make the accent British to soften the blow.
It has to be David Attenborough
My favorite reaction video is from Josh Strife Hayes doing a 100 minute reaction to his own 20 minute video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D5hJ9jhVlXY&t=3s&pp=2AEDkAIBygUjSm9zaCBzdHJpZmUgaGF5ZXMgcmVhY3RzIHRvIGhpbXNlbGY%3D
Now he can do a 500 minute reaction to that, and then a 2500 minute reaction to the reaction…
Perpetual content machine
I’m so fucking sick of youtube recommending his garbage, I spend most of my time on breadtube so i don’t know how or why youtube decided I want to be reminded this waste of oxygen exists.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I have an idea why a major US corporation would absolutely love to shove a pro-Zionism and pro-fascism streamer down everyone’s throats.
No particular conspiracy theory needed - because it generates clicks and views, even if you dislike the content. This thread itself being an example.
I’ve noticed he does a shit ton of videos on everything. I’ve looked up recent events like the NDP race card thing that happened recently in Canada and he was one of the only sources.
I think he has no life, and all he does is youtube videos, then he must get suggested by the algorithm that indexes his videos.
Oh is this an actual person and not just generic internet guy?
You can “don’t like this video” and then tell them you “don’t like this channel” on any video that gets recommended.
Yeah that means nothing to youtube, I’ve done that every time that ass hat appears and without fail in a few weeks/months there will be another one.
“never recommend channel” will get rid of the twit permanently.
That also works only for some time. In my case, blocked channels were recommended to me after about a year or two. Had to block them again.
It’s worse than nothing, it’s an engagement metric. It’s better to block it entirely with plugins or ignore it.
From your youtube wall, click the tree dots aligned vertically next to the title of the video under the thumbnail and select “Don’t recommend this channel” from the drop down menu.
You will have to do this for his alt channels and the twich clip channels as you see them on your youtube wall. Very soon he should vanish and you won’t hear about him except maybe from other channels who shits on him.
Very useful to get rid of shitty AI chanels as well.
If Google understood consent the problem wouldn’t be there in the first place.
I dunno, it’s been working for me, just figured I’d throw it out there, that’s all. I wasn’t expecting a sort of Spanish Inquisition.
Isn’t that how Spanish Inquisitions typically go?
I meant no hostility, sorry if it came off that way. I’m glad it worked for you, maybe some day I will be successful as well.
All good I’m just kidding haha, I’m sorry it doesn’t work for you though! YouTube needs to get their shit together in many ways.
That’s a real person? I don’t know… wait is that the one guy who never showers and has roaches crawling on him?
Dont forget about the dead rat!
Can he not spare any YouTube money to hire a housekeeper to come once a week like wtf?
The filth is part of his brand, unironically
For chromium based browsers, this extension allows you to block channels. It is also available for firefox. It just doesn’t block YouTube shorts. I blocked that guy a long time ago.
Use YouTube Unhook if through a browser. Blocks all recommendations. Also good to stop doomscrolling shorts. Definitely recommended if most of your intentional youtube use is one channel (breadtube is a channel, right?)
Idk what I did, but I no longer get him somehow.
“Don’t reccommend channel” from the options next to the video.
My Asmongoon impression:
“Yeah, I mean yeah, no. I total agree with that, yeah, no. Yeah, I mean that just what it is, is it?. Yeah. No, Yeah. I mean… Yeah. What is this? I mean yeah, no.”
Repeat for 6 hours.
Dude has literally the vocabulary of a fucking Etch A Sketch.
Reminder that during the entirety of Biden’s 4 year term we saw job growth. Now we’ve seen 5 straight months of job loss under child rapist Donald Trump.
Thanks Biden.
War is bad, unless my favorite team is the one doing it. 🤡
Asmondgold saw the average anti-conservative straw man post and went “goals.”
From the great mind that didn’t vote but somehow has a lot to say about politics. Though tbf he is pro Ukraine.
who?
Asmongold, the literal personification of a trash can. Don’t look him up, life’s better spent without knowing of his existence.
People need to stop sharing his crap then, downvote these posts, all i hear about is how the guy is awful and stupid and for some reason people are like “let me share this awful stupid person others will like it” I dont get it, if he sucks then dont repost crap dont make memes of him, let the rest of us who never heard of him enjoy actual good posts instead of posts about some dogshit streamer
Him and his fans deserve to be mocked. The next time you interact with a fan of his, ask them why he wont take an IQ test on stream if thinks Africans naturally have a lower IQ.
I looked this up and every single study reports lower iq in Africa. Asians have the highest. Is this bullshit?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=AmfsX7jgIyE
Yes. Firstly, iq tests have a bias to the culture that created them. It’s based on the sorts of problems that that culture values. You can’t use it to compare to different populations with different cultures.
Secondly, depending on what source you found, the study might have been run by racists with an agenda.
Thirdly, Africa is a huge continent with wildly varying cultures. You can just average those results together and get anything useful out of it, unless you have a racist agenda.
Well yeah everyone knows the iq test is not a good metric for actual intelligence.
So those cultures technically do have lower iq scores.
I don’t personally believe in iq tests though.
I linked a video that want into more detail, but Asmon was repeating a bad report that Afericans have a 70IQ. Even when the test wasn’t made for them and it’s dishonest to think that a different in IQ is meaningful in this instance, that’s still a dishonest number.
He’s huge on all the streaming platforms, so you can’t really ignore him. Clueless people will have his content force fed to them by the algorithm, and some will end up becoming fans.
Pre-empting that by pointing out how much of a disgusting pathetic loser and worthless piece of shit he is might help someone make an informed choice before watching his content.
I watch twitch everyday and never came across him, sounds like your ragebaiting yourself by clicking on dogshit streamers.
So people can’t make informed choice without it?
No, people cannot make an informed choice without information.
…That’s what the “informed” part of that phrase means.
Part of making informed choice is to listen to arguments. You just postulate to avoid this guy because you don’t like what he says.
I can tell from your diminished reasoning abilities that you’re probably an Asmongold fan. There’s not much I can type here to help you, but I’ll try to keep it short and use simple words and bullet points:
- I have heard him talk
- by hearing him talk, I have become informed about him
- using this information, I have made the informed decision to not listen to him further
I can try simplifying it further if you still don’t get it.
But his streams are genuinely fun. He has huge audience for a reason…
Or maybe people should learn to be a bit more critical of what they spend their time watching.
These aren’t mutually exclusive concepts
A guy who incels like to watch because he is one. Hikikomori/LDR type who stays in his room filled with trash and roaches and streams. Incels and other rightwingers listen to his political opinions because… yeah idk.
I actually liked his content before his mom died and he turned crazy.
I envy his mom.
He just seemed like such a down to earth human being, and as a gamer and nerd myself, a lot of fellow n3rds could associate with the poor guy.
Some idiot streamer
A dude who once tried plain water and almost puked because it didn’t cover the vile taste of his rotting teeth.
Oh and he’s an actual millionaire who lives in a trash heap
Oscar the grouch but not humble or caring and instead of living in a classy dumpster, lives in a place so dirty a pig wouldnt step foot in.
Asmongoloid
The really funny bit is that Trump sent $200M in aid to Ukraine back in 2018 and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
As of December 31, 2025, the U.S. had disbursed 58 percent of the $188 billion in spending related to the conflict (U.S. spending is first appropriated, then obligated, then disbursed).
Anyone saying Trump wasn’t enthusiastically sending NATO arms and armor to the Ukrainian battlefront is either deeply misinformed our outright lying. The big difference between Biden and Trump, wrt Ukraine, was that Trump loved to get big beautiful photo-ops with Putin where they were both smiling and shaking hands. Meanwhile, Biden preferred photo-ops where he was frowning and shaking his head.
But look at the numbers in your second link. Biden gave Ukraine considerably more per year. With 60 Billion aid in 2024. In December 2024 a loan of 20 Billion was given. Since then no major aid bills have been passed.
Your link says the opposite of what you’re arguing.
And those 200 Million in 2018 are peanuts.
Athene is and always will be a better WoW player than Asmongold.
Roach-man is a mouthpiece for the wealthy in disguise. He has the same reasoning skills as an evangelical.
