I thought he would be ok at first because the first video I ever saw from him was mocking Kid Rock which is an activity I can fully get behind, but then I watched a few more videos and realized how sh*tty his taste in music is, and then I learned about how much of a reactionary he is.

He dresses like someone from Prager U trying to be hip with the kids, that should have been the first red flag.

Oh ****, really? That's too bad, I kinda liked some of his takes. But Matt Walsh is everything I hate about Clown America.

Has someone punched up an article about all this? I'd like to look into it more. I also don't know what "hide your power level" means.

Ethan informed me about it, I already didn't like the guy and that didn't help.

"Hide your power level" is a term Neo-Nazis use on the internet to describe not being completely upfront about their beliefs because it makes it harder for them to recruit other people, and so they can avoid accountability. It's a Dragon Ball Z reference because they're all weebs.

Ok well he just made a video about how he might be autistic and doesn't want to come off like a dick. If Ethan is the Ethan of Crowquill fame - and I say this with love - but he was quick to man the ramparts as I recall.

I'll look into this more, but I do thank you for bringing it up.

First of all, yes

Tangentially, I have no intention of ever watching this video or learning who Matt Walsh is but since when is following someone on Twitter evidence of anything? For example I follow quite a few Russian nationalists to have my finger on the pulse of regime propaganda, not cause I endorse them

TheBig3 · 01-04-2023, 04:17 PM

Because Matt Walsh sucks.

I mean I'm sure he's a bottom of the barrel maga streamer or something to that effect but I think it's a bad idea to judge someone by who they follow on social media. I know people do that, which is why I never follow anyone remotely controversial on the Twitter account that's under my real name (as opposed to the anonymous one, where fun is being had)

TheBig3 · 01-04-2023, 06:35 PM

I mean, I follow a lot of unsavory people, but I'm an overt political junkie. Punk Rock MBA doesn't strike me as someone who wants to know what happens in NY-4. But I did say I was skeptical of the assertion. I hope that's taken into account.

Yeah I used to watch his videos a bunch but as soon as I saw his wife’s YT channel and saw some of the goons he follows on Twitter I immediately unsubbed. No place in my feed for right wing chuds.

Here's a good thread of comments on PRMBA that likely sums up what's really going on. His wife being less normal isn't a condemnation of him though. (but holy eff: https://www.youtube.com/@linh7x/videos)

That said, the no-tattoos thing in grounds for divorce.
