Never thought I'd hear someone say "women can prostitute themselves so therefore they aren't oppressed in capitalism" as an actual legit argument...
Literally a wild argument. "Women are free to exploit their own bodies to make ends meet because they wouldn't get paid enough having their labor exploited like a man, and that's the system doing good for women."
I watch a lot of ancient history content, so when this popped up I was like “Yeah, of course he couldn’t. Reading cuneiform was a highly specialized skill known only to the scribal class and an imperial ruler like Sargon would have had no need of reading.” Then I saw that this was my politics corner not my history corner.
Irving Finkel fan? Me too!
I thought historical Sargon was a big deal intellectual in addition to his imperializing? Or am I confusing him with Cyrus the Great?

I cannot BELIEVE that Sargon thinks the author is worried about the bots being harmed by the sexism rather than the bot users' behaviour being reinforced by the bots' responses
Moe Szyslak EXACTLY! Underrated comment
Moe Szyslak It's still concerning that we are starting to consider bots to be humans and think this to be acceptable.
Must control other's behaviour above all else after all is said and done. Reinforcing what exactly?
I honestly think that it doesn't even occur to him that it's a problem. Like considering that maybe the way people interact with these digital assistants normalizes the awful things they say to, y'know, real actual people, is so far outside his realm of consideration that he can't even be bothered to give it a passing thought.
@@BicycleSeatbelt That's correct, it takes a certain kind of control freak and moral busy body to think these issues are worth consideration.
Did he seriously use prostitutes as an example of women's place in capitalism?
ignoring of course the history of male sexuality because what things weren't different in the past everything was like this always!
That is perhaps one way to interpret it (which is true; women (and men, although the market for women is larger) can be prostitutes), but I believe he's saying that women can get ahead in the workplace by exploiting the fact that men are constantly vying for their affection.
Kevin But if you follow that logic through to its conclusion, doesn't it suggest that the workplace is sexist anyway? Rather if women are able to get ahead in it by seducing men, that suggests that men have power and influence allready and the way women "get ahead" is by seeking their approval through sexual favours. I don't think this is actually the truth in most workplaces anymore, since thankfully women and men have far more equal footing than say, the 60s. But the argument of "women can get ahead by being sexy" only works when there are allready men in a position of power, and the act of doing sexual favours to gain approval only keeps this hierarchy in place. So if this is what Sargon genuinely thinks, that women have this tool of sexual attractiveness, then that thinking is deeply flawed.
TotallyCarbon of course men hold positions of power, but that doesn't mean that women can't also hold positions of power. By the same token, a man may be able to use his sexuality to get ahead in the workplace, but I doubt it would be as effective; especially with sexual harassment policies.
Dream Delirium in the case that you're suggesting I hold either of those anti-fem views, I do not. Those are rediculous strawmen. I would appreciate some criticism of ideas that I do hold, if you have some time to discuss.
2,241 hate crimes in TWO WEEKS being considered "not really that many" was NOT a take I was expecting to see here, even from a guy like that
He wouldn't even get out of bed for less that 50k
He’d have been screaming at his camera for the police to do something if it was 2,241 crimes focused against whites or men.
@@funoff3207 I think we would all be more happy if he always just chose to stay in bed lol
And on top of that him pretending like he can decide what a hate crime is too 💀💀
Fun thing him picking 50k. Either that means that “over 2000 in two weeks should bother him” because generalized out to the year it is over 52,000, or it means he finds a crime rate that includes at least 1.3 million hate crimes against migrants in the UK, a country with a foreign born population of about 8 million based and a muslim population of less than 4 million, based on numbers I was able to dig up. And that is literally just… reported hatecrimes. That is… fucking horrifying.
"I didn't run downstairs to see a British guy on TV" .......God, it's almost like you're..........represented
Austrumental EXACTLY! Underrated comment
Then whenever a group is represented it's "forced diversity"
Honestly I facepalmed when I heard that what an idiot
I am half Indian and have never felt a need to feel this "representaition" in goveernment, or on TV. I don't understand this feeling some people seem to crave to see someone with their same skin color staring back at them on a screen. As long as I feel someone somewhere believes some of what I do. Even then I don't need to see or even really know of that person, because I know I got my line of thinking from somewhere.
@@GarlicGrinder9 i think the reason people want representation is also largely because it can be used normalize a certain view of said demographic, as well as combat others. It's even useful to just make people aware of their presence and to humanize them.
When Sargon called this video "This Week in Stupid" he was actually telling us what language he was translating into.

@@alexsmith2910
Are you expecting sargon to?
@@educprof2160 Well, no shit. Despite what the leftist propagnda says, dominance and penetration have always been linked with masculinity, while the opposite was always associated with femininity. Just look at the ancient Greeks. They didn't frame sex as "straight" or "gay" (mainly because such mindset is an invention of the 19th century), but rather as “giving" or “receiving”. Unless you were a woman, it was looked down upon to enjoy submissiveness. As such, those who enjoyed “receiving” were stigmatized within the Athenian society and were kinaidoi (men who allowed other men to penetrate them). This was a degrading word, suggesting ancient Athens (the so-called open-minded Greek city-state of antiquity by leftist morons) wasn’t gay-friendly at all. In fact, Athens had laws that strictly frobsde what we define as homosexuality today. As for the rest of the ancient Greek city-states, they would be classified as “macho” societies nowadays, with Sparta being especially disapproving of men who engaged in homosexual activities. It was a general characteristic of these macho societies that being dominant (or “giving”) was noble, while being submissive (“receiving”) was the opposite. For a Corinthian or a Spartan male to deliberately choose a submissive sexual role, he was seen as a type of traitor, one who willfully accepted being ignoble for sexual pleasure
@@diaperdude6163 funny how you dont have proof that thats a leftwing argument.

Congratulations, sincerely!
That's why he does poorly in actual debate with a real person. He tries to control conversation and panics when he cant.
I found some of things he talked about useful and interesting but I kept fact checking him which means I never actually believed any of his opinions. The ANIFA video was at least somewhat education if you ignore every other sentence or so.

"I DON'T CARE," Sargon screams angrily while spending presumably hours recording, researching, and editing a video on said topic.
"Researching"
Sargon the kind of guy to send a $500 donation to a twitch streamer saying “show feet” and nothing else.
''N-nevermind... It's not like I care about you, b-baka article!!''
-Sargon, presumably
"researching" more like he finds an article with some buzzword in the headline or first couple sentences that he doesn't like, like "feminism," "patriarchy," "racist" etc, screenshots it, then starts filming himself screaming about how stupid the article is despite having taken some of it out of context
Generous of you to assume "research" was part of the process.
I think part of what makes people like Sargon so disturbing is the avatars they choose for themselves. The picture he uses in front of his streams is a reflection of how he genuinely sees himself: a philosopher king sitting reclined and slightly bored on a throne of reason where he passes judgement on people who come to hear his wisdom. The level of ego and hubris is astonishing.
Which would be fine if he was smart and worthy of coming to for life advice but you know.... He's a fuckin dumb shit garbage person with compost for a soul and is the poser child for frog men sooo... It doesn't really work lol.
It reminds me of how Fred Fuchs of the Sons of Kojima fame used a Scarface avatar to make himself look like this "big guy that no one wants to mess with" when he would constantly "ghost" his way through social media and Skype conversations.
Unless he stated how he picked his avatar or you read his mind then... nice projection you got there. Not everyone picks hers/his avatar based on how (s)he identifies herself/himself. Based on my history of avatars I used to pick them based on my interests and usually they were nothing like how I see myself or who do I pick as my role model. What if he did the same? Picked something based on his interest years ago and it sticked. Just thing in analyzing other people is giving them benefit of the doubt if you dislike them (as people are biased against people they dislike). There is a number of legit points for which you can bash him. Making projections is not constructive but also makes you look bad if you look at it from the side lines.
@Cael Ray you use terms like beta unironically when someone simply states an interpretation. your opinion in this discussion is null.
@Cael Ray "alpha" and "beta" are buzzwords created by incels that righties to use to make themselves feel superior. it says nothing about one's argument, ability, merit, beliefs, or anything important. furthermore, you still haven't presented an argument, just ad hominem. and, i've never even seen shaun, and i'm a fan, so i highly doubt that you have either.
Bloody hell, this video is at least 7 Sargons long
That's 7 Sargon's too many, lol
I'm not sure how long a Sargon is, but do you realise you basically said this video should be 0 units of Sargon in length?
@@SireSquish. Haha, that's not what I meant, though. I more or less was meaning to say that Sargon is too much, so the video should just be it's own length of time, rather than being timed by Sargon. When I thought it in my head, it seemed funnier.

@@heldinahtmlhell I would consider the words "here's one for the fucking gas chambers" to be beyond offensive, but maybe that's just me.
it's comforting to know that 2000 hate crimes is an insignificant number. Thanks, Sargon.
Define hate crime.
it's defined pretty well in your respective country's state, local or federal criminal code. try google.
@@AM-bo2ns very enlightening. Well as it is germany it seems, much like Britain, hate crime recording
can be quite nebulous. Here is an example taken from germany's OSCE data:
"2016-5 A Kingdom Hall was pelted with eggs"
Now that isn't to say that there isn't a range of seriousness in the category hate crime with some dispicable acts.
But as both Shaun and Carl are engaging in a political debate and are both British. I think Shaun was arguing in bad faith on this point.
@@SansAppellation Well. Here's my country's federal definition (Australia)
"unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people; and the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person, or of some or all of the people in the group."
Hate crimes are another classification of crime. If someone punches me in a random fight, is that not different to someone punching me because of my race, religion, gender etc. A personal characteristic?
Thanks for the response, this was quite some time ago, but in response to you:
Difficult to say, I've had a stranger (step out from a group of lads) throw a random swing at me in broad daylight as I was walking down the road in Manchester, UK. We were both white.
I've seen what I assume was a group of Chinese friends in a comedy club in Sydney beat the shit out of another guy who was out with his girlfriend. Some people are just cunts unfortunately
I'm not sure legislating for what I think their reasons were is a particularly useful step into the future.
Is a group of white teenagers egging a church because they think it is funny and edgy, a hate crime?
What if it's a mosque?

Hey man, glad to hear it! I used to be pretty into him and some others during gamergate, and got kinda anti-feminist at that point. Since then I've read up on it and learned a lot more and it's all pretty reasonable and understandable, even things Sargon and others scoff at. Things like the patriarchy, you know?

I still think the idea of the patriarchy is pretty dumb, tho. Care the elaborate why you think is true?
The sexual harrassment article was thoughtfully written and an interesting topic. Of course Carl just brushes it off like a whiny little child.
To be fair. The way Shaun describe it first, it sounded like the writter wanted that Cortana or Siri gave a lecture on why harassment is bad, which does sound kinda dumb, although, he clarifies later that it is more broader and intelligent than that.

@@spark154 You know this information is accessible, _if you read the article_

And ALL of them have a male version, a fact that is completely ignored). Shaun tries to chalk it up to the writer's attempt to engage more readers, which is a very lame excuse. By the same token we can call the worst of tabloids "good journalism". There are similar issues with the content of the article. To be perfectly clear, I'm not saying that Shaun is completely wrong. The article does have its merits. Still, it clearly has gaps a rabid antifeminist like Sargon can latch onto.
@@TinyShaman I think that's what outlined here though? Shaun and everyone here was pretty clear that it was interesting for the most part, not that it was world changing exactly just well done at grabbing people.

Sean Locke I used to like his stuff, like his flat Earth vids.
I have to ask, what's wrong with Armoured Skeptic? I dislike Sargon as much as the next man, but I generally agree with what Greg has to say. He's slipped up a couple of times with a couple of poorly thought out videos but he's only human, as a whole I found his content quality to be fairly high.
Also what anti-SJW money? It's not the anti-SJWs who are addressing the United Nations or anything. In the wider world anti-SJWs are usually written off, whether for better or for worse.
22:34 Has Sargon never heard the story Whoopi Goldberg tells of seeing Nichelle Nichols on Star Trek as a child? "Mama! There's a black lady on television and she ain't no maid!" When you're not part of the majority, representation matters.
Sargon is the perfect embodiment of "this problem doesn't affect me personally so it's not really a problem"
While also ironically being "this non-problem doesn't affect me, so its absolutely a problem"
Yeah, Sargon's whole philosophy is "fuck you, I got mine... I'm a liberal btw." Listening to him debate is even worse - his brain can't operate outside of stereotypes (feminists hate men, communists are evil, capitalism is good) so he has a fundamental inability to understand arguments that don't already align with his beliefs.

I know this is a bit late, but Charlemagne was illiterate, for an interesting reason too. He hadn't learned to read in his youth because the quality of Frankish script was so illegible, that modern scholars who have studied it for years still have to trace their fingers around the path of each letter. It was that bad.
One of the crowning achievements of Charlemagne's rule was the Carolingian Renaissance, a resurgence of art, literature, and theological study. Part of this brief Renaissance was the development and introduction of Carolingian Script, lettering that far more resembles the standardized Latin characters we use today.
P. S. I didn't want to leave you without a famous illiterate historical figure, so here you are.
@@andrewmulhearn1234 Thank you, man
The way that Sargon reads an article is the same way Cinemasins watches a movie. They both pick out one small detail, come up with a criticism of that point, and include it even if that criticism is contradicted by the very thing they’re criticizing later on. Very funny
Sargon is proof that people with British accents don’t always sound smart.
Frieza Force true 🤣
@Frieza Force isn’t that.... racist?
@Frieza Force yes
I'm going to be honest: I legit suspect that Sargon's accent is part of the reason anyone takes him seriously. I don't know where in the UK it originates, but Sargon has the specific type of regional English accent that's usually associated with intellectual characters in TV and film, and I think that leads some people to subconsciously assume he's "smart" despite the tenuous veracity of his statements.
I have no hard evidence or anything, it's just a suspicion.
Stephen Fry sounds smart, Carl Benjamin doesn't, only smug and condescending.
It‘s funny that Sargon took the name of a person he'd probably hate to see in the west nowadays.
PyroNexus22 lol i never thought about that
it is purely about idealism, for sargon cause akkad is the ideal he cannot reach it.
+SpamQGamers "it is purely about idealism, for sargon cause akkad is the ideal he cannot reach it."
Given that we know almost nothing about the historical Sargon (we don't even know where Akkad was) beyond his having created an empire and being the subject of the first recorded historical parallel, I'm not sure what that 'ideal' could even be.
Sargon was probably Aryan in his head canon.
That's kind of the point though, isn't it? As a blank slate, Carlgon can project any ideals he'd like on Sargon.
Sargon: *uses Bild as a source*
Me, a German: *slow facepalm*
I feel you. When people use European TotallyNotAtAllBiased(tm) entertainment tabloids as a proper source while screaming about fake news it's just a moment of cricket sounds for me.

loudrockacdc They are fake news
Yeah, I cringed at that too xD
Isn't it funny that Sargon constantly made fun of the myth of the patriarchy, yet, everything slightly feminist is part of a global anti-men conspiracy?
No wonder why he got ripped by the likes of Metokur and british media when he ran for office.
@FilthyDankWastemanFabuless We live inClown World. Him and Dankula did joined UKIP and postulated to represent their respective cities or whatever, Karl got chewed, spitted and then buried by media for being an edgelord, pretty much everything that Mister Metokur warned him that was gonna happen if he tried to do it, imagine wondering who this two goofs were and coming across a video of Dankula and Sargon saying _"Why did you made us do this Anita? We just want to play our games"_ I'm paraphrasing but they said something like that.
He did fucking what? 🤣
@@origrammar What you read. 😂 Indeed!
Both are somewhat true but his selectivity is not even remotely uncommon. Liberals ignore the prevalence of societal neglect, abuse, and exploitation of men as well as women receiving favor. However he laser focuses on these and forgets that there are places where women are treated the same as, or even less than a 7 year old boy. Weirdly enough opposing social claims are often both true if you account for more than 1 place exisitng
Really a false equivalence. Feminism talks about the harm that the patriarchy has to both men and women. Conservatives just use men’s pain in the patriarchy to hurt women - and everyone else too, but subjugating women is a goal.
Sargon "Nazis deserve a platform but Social Justice courses must be banned" of Akkad.
Natsume Natsume oh please, that one isn't true. He says the opposite a lot
+O. Kroeker What part isn't true? He set up a petition to get social justice courses removed from universities, did he not? It was a couple years ago so I may not be remembering correctly.
TheArchsage74 i looked up the petition, it was to suspend, not remove, social justice courses to have them evaluated for any openly bigoted, non-scientific, non-fact based lessons in the course and have that corrected. I'm not too sure how prevalent of an issue that is, but I don't disagree on that point, if there is actual bigotry and mis-information being taught to students I'd want that to be corrected, especially considering how much debt a student racks up attending college, they deserve to get the best education for their money.
Well, giving political views a platform is one thing, shoving them down students throats the other. Just like Sargon was comparing two different things with the refugee and migrant stuff, you are comparing too different things in your comment.
That's a false equivalency though, isn't it? Sargon is not saying university students being taught to analyze the universe through the lens of Nazism is fine.
The whole compilation of "I don't see how that's an issue at all" "seems like a total non-issue to me" sums up 200 years of conservative thought perfectly.
Perhaps a supercut of sargon claiming things are "pointless" and a "non-issue" is in order...

How do you hear that someone was exited to see a person like them on TV and not realise "Wow maybe representation has a positive effect on young people and even adults in minority demographics.". Like I remember reading about a similar thing, I think it was something Whoopi Goldberg said about when she first saw Uhura on Star Trek wen she was a wee girl, she was enthused that she was seeing a black woman on TV who had a job on a star ship. Like I can't imagine my reaction to that being "Oh how weird why would you do that? I didn't get exited about Nurse Chapel!" because OBVIOUSLY I wouldn't, because I'm white I see people who're white on TV all the time, the point is she reacted that way because it was something she wasn't used to and thus it was exciting. I was quite moved by the quote. It should remind you that something you may previously have taken for granted is not true for everyone, and hopefully reinforce that there's actually a real and identifiable problem here. Christ.
"Mama! There's a black lady on tv and she aint no maid!"
Still sticks with me to this day.
Easy. You do it by being a self-absorbed moron, as Carl handily demonstrates.
22:35 Yeah, Carl completely misses it, it's bizarre. But I mainly wanted to add this comment to say you are remembering correctly! Whoopi Goldberg is known for her response to seeing Nichelle Nichols as Uhura on Star Trek.
> "When she was a little girl, Goldberg was a big Star Trek fan, because in the 1960s roles for African-Americans on television were scarce and often inconsequential - with Star Trek being an exception. On the U.S.S. Enterprise, the presence of Uhura on the Bridge crew connected with the young Goldberg, and her lifelong love of Star Trek had begun. "Well, when I was nine years old Star Trek came on," Goldberg says. "I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, 'Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there's a black lady on television and she ain't no maid!' I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be."
*Link:* www.startrek.com/database_article/goldberg-whoopi
AND Martin Luther King Jr. himself was a huge fan of Uhura! He famously convinced Nichols not to leave the show, when she was considering it.
*Story:*
> On Star Trek, Nichols was one of the first Black women featured in a major television series. Her prominent supporting role as a bridge officer was unprecedented. Nichols was once tempted to leave the series; however, a conversation with Martin Luther King Jr. changed her mind. Towards the end of the first season, Nichols was given the opportunity to take a role on Broadway. She preferred the stage to the television studio, so she decided to take the role. Nichols went to Roddenberry's office, told him that she planned to leave, and handed him her resignation letter. Roddenberry tried to convince Nichols to stay but to no avail, so he told her to take the weekend off and if she still felt that she should leave then he would give her his blessing. That weekend, Nichols attended a banquet that was being run by the NAACP, where she was informed that a fan really wanted to meet her.
*Nichols quote:*
> I thought it was a Trekkie, and so I said, 'Sure.' I looked across the room and whoever the fan was had to wait because there was Dr. Martin Luther King walking towards me with this big grin on his face. He reached out to me and said, 'Yes, Ms. Nichols, I am your greatest fan.' He said that Star Trek was the only show that he, and his wife Coretta, would allow their three little children to stay up and watch. [She told King about her plans to leave the series because she wanted to take a role that was tied to Broadway.] I never got to tell him why, because he said, 'you cannot, you cannot...for the first time on television, we will be seen as we should be seen every day, as intelligent, quality, beautiful, people who can sing dance, and can go to space, who are professors, lawyers." Dr. King Jr went further stating "If you leave, that door can be closed because your role is not a black role, and is not a female role; he can fill it with anybody even an alien."

Wow... Its crazy to think that... 3-4 years ago, I wouldn't have watched this vid, cuz I used to be a Sargon fan. I first thought he was a reasonable skeptic, until I saw his vid on Alexandria Cortez with Stalinist Communist imagery on the thumbnail, a clear attempt at hyperbolic fear mongering. I was already drifting away from his vids at that point, but that was the nail in the coffin.
maybe he was reasonable. i’m certainly not going to look through his back catalog of videos to find out, but it’s possible that he figured out what gets him the most views and ran with it.
For me it was the Trump videos that put me off. I really liked that he was showing the other side of stories that were trying to always put Trump in a negative light undeservingly. But then he became a true Trump supporter seemingly. Facepalm. Then the election fraud. It became obvious he has lost his integrity.
glad you were able to break away from that. my timeline is a little bit different but i would watch him pretty regularly as well in the 2014-2017 "TH-cam Skeptic" era...definitely not something i'm proud of. always made me very uncomfortable to see open white nationalists be the top commenters of his community and then the wider "bloodsports" community that popped up shortly thereafter... so glad i found better content to watch with a much more stable community.

41% spike in hate crimes is apparently insignificant and inconsequential.... imagine if someone said ANY other crime went up by 41%, how could that, by ANY measure be inconsequential. You cant just cast aside an increase that drastic because you dont view it as "proper crime".
If I remember correctly Sargon made a video on how Liberal controlled London had around a 10% rise in crime and that therefore the Liberals were allowing London to turn into a war zone. He’s also a few times said the UK should “rent out” the American police to deal with the increase in crime in some cities in the UK.

At least joking about it reinforces that the actual event actually happened, even it's in bad taste but then how many years do we need before we can joke about it? 1000 years? Wait till it's erased from history before we can joke about it until the event repeats itself? Yet it's ok to make fun of America and it's school shootings behind everyone's back and it's acceptable even though it's happening weekly? Hypocrisy happens everywhere.

If they _do_ comment, usually it's just to drop a few "cucks" and "SJWs" into the conversation.
To be fair (I'm not accusing Shaun of anything, it's more of a trend with the likes of Steve Shives) the comments by anti-SJWs get deleted and blacklisted so that comments sections appear uniformly in support of the video. That's why on massively unpopular videos that are huge anti-SJW talking points comments are often disabled entirely.

Revisit these dark days with the new 106-minute documentary on Sargon, MRAs, and GamerGate: YT search for "Munted, Random"
In regards to the "running down stairs to see an English man on tv" thing, the first time I saw an lgbt character on tv I stopped what I was doing and watched the whole episode with child like wonder. I had never seen someone like myself on tv and even though I'd never watched the show or even knew what show it was i sat through the entire episode, even turning off my phone, (something I pretty much never to while watching tv due to a really short attention span). It's almost like when you are constantly represented it becomes mundane and you no longer get excited to finally see yourself reflected well in media. But hey maybe I am just a stupid overly triggered sjw for wanting to see lgbt or diverse characters????
This is partly what the word privilege basically explains. It's how much for granted one takes some things which to others might be significant and rare. And when one is in the position of privilege one doesn't even take notice of it, so when others mention it you see them rolling their eyes and calling people snowflakes and triggered and hyperbolic. They think 'privilege' means that they're being accused of being like I don't know, wealthy, pampered people with no worries in life, which obviously if you assume that, then it sounds absurd. But they're just missing the point entirely.
I mean I'm a straight white guy, I obviously haven't experienced what you're describing in terms of sexuality or race, but thinking about it, there is one aspect where it has happened. Seeing a legit atheist character on TV or film, who isn't just the usual "I don't know, I used to believe, I'm not sure", you know the usual portrayal of someone "lost" who's suffering and has lost faith, but in the end finds it again. You know, that crap. I mean a real atheist, and who isn't portrayed as a villain and/or psychopath. A rare one I can think of is Mcconaughey's character in True Detective. And even he was a depressed alcoholic or something.
But you see it all the time, everyone is more or less religious, it's always the assumption, the default.
And I found it interesting how surprising it felt to see one on screen. Now, this isn't the same, but I think there is a common ground there. In any case, with some empathy one could easily understand what it feels like and what that privilege is. But Sargon is completely void of empathy, so obviously he can't get it.
@@notquitemytempo1353 Rust from True Detective isn't that great of an example of atheist representation in media anyway. I mean, he *(spoiler alert)* is an edgelord supreme who became an insufferable nihilist after the death of his daughter. He then relearns the value of life after a having a quasi-religious epiphany following a near-death experience. *(end spoiler)*
True Detective season 1 was great, but Rust's portrayal hardly flies in the face of the typical atheist stereotype, does it?
@@ScoopMeisterGeneral Well, more to my point of how rare or almost non-existent such characters are I guess. How rare for the character to be a normal person it is. But I was remembering that scene where he's mocking the dimwit religious people on that tent with the leader who's spewing the usual nonsense and they're giving their money. You know, you hardly ever see a character openly, un-apologetically mock religion like that on TV or movies.
I vaguely remember an episode from like a black sitcom I think where someone's boyfriend is an atheist and they bring them for dinner or something and the conversation gets to religion. And he's painted horribly by the script. He might as well had said he was a pedophile, he'd get a better reaction from them. She actually ends up breaking up with him cause he doesn't believe in god.
Just curious, can you mention any such atheist characters? I'd like to know which shows or movies feature them, maybe they're worth seeing. Thanks
@@notquitemytempo1353 I don't watch a whole lot of TV, so I'm probably not the right person to ask. But I will say that as with all forms of representation in media (gender, race, sexuality, whatever), the best way to write an atheist character is just to treat them like a normal person without making them into a stereotype. That doesn't mean you have to ignore or downplay the issues related to that person's identity, but you also shouldn't make it so their identity forms their _entire character._ It can be a pretty difficult line to walk. Brooklyn 99 comes to mind as a show that deals with minority representation really well, although not specifically atheism.
Rust in True Detective wasn't a bad character or anything, and I could definitely appreciate his attitude towards religion a lot of the time, but his total disregard for absolutely everything did veer on the side of seeming a bit unrealistic and cringy at times (especially that scene with the two of them in the car).
I agree that it would be interesting to see more atheist characters in other shows, though. It's definitely an issue that a lot of TV shows seem to avoid.
There's an interesting asterisk to notion of "English man on TV" being mundane, and that's when a White person successfully learns non-White languages and/or integrates into non-White cultures. There are TH-cam channels with hundreds of millions of views dedicated to "White guy shocks Asian people with his fluent [insert Asian language]!" Beyond TH-cam, it's a huge public selling point whenever a White person learns an Asian language, whether it's the former Prime Minister of Australia being fluent in Mandarin, or pro-wrestling superstar Kenny Omega being fluent in Japanese. And let us not forget the Last Samurai himself, Tom Cruise.
On the other hand, it's not nearly as surprising or interesting when any non-White person speaks fluent English, French, etc. So in weird a way, White folks get the best of both worlds: they are so well-represented in popular culture that it's almost boring, and when they dip into cultures where they're not as well-represented, they are lavished with admiration.

@@BlueTyphoon2017 A-log was a commentary channel that focused on geek culture. He became just as popular as Sargon in the late 2000s when he did his string of videos on Chris-Chan (the guy who created Sonichu). Many of his videos covering Chris-Chan were nothing but him nitpicking every single detail of Chris's vlogs and commenting on how he is so much better than Chris. He would constantly compare Chris's antics to Saddam Hussein's actions during the Gulf War and those of two teenaged boys who tortured and murdered a toddler. Many people found out that he was just as bad as Chris when a video of him going an anime convention in surfaced in 2008. He was acting very awkwardly and creepily around the cosplayers and booth owners. When that video got featured on many cringe compilations, the comments section would be filled with people defending everything A-log did and calling the uploader a "CWC sympathizer". When GeorgieBoyReturns mirrored A-log's videos, the comments section would be a battlefield between A-log's fans and the people who hated A-log.
The term A-Logging is named after this user as he demonstrates a phenomenon called "Trollshielding", where someone would constantly hide behind an "anti-" movement in order to shield themselves from criticism. A-log made these Chris-Chan videos in order to mask his creepy behavior from the public. Sargon and many people within the Anti-SJW community fit this trollshielding definition like a glove as so many of them would deliberately take things out of context to be offended by, white-knight genuinely horrible people (like con artists and pedophiles) for giving their movement lip-service, get triggered over the slightest hint of criticism and have about as much attachment to reality as a five year old in a coma (just like the SJWs they complain about).
ironic for a statement rife with confirmation bias
"Ironic. Carl could call other people cucks, but not himself." -Sheeve Palpatine, 19 BBY
As a German, as soon as Carl said his source was BILD, he lost all credibility.
I'm guessing they're a very untrustworthy source over there? I'm American, by the way.
@@octaviusroosevelt7355 Yep. The BILD is notoriously right-wing, anti-Immigrant and by far the least reliable mainstream newspaper in Germany. There's an official chart of how much fake news every newspaper prints, and the BILD leads it by a HUGE margin. The second most untrustworthy paper is from the same publisher as BILD, by the way.
@@octaviusroosevelt7355 Bild is basically German FOX News, if that makes any sense
@@octaviusroosevelt7355 I don't think Bild is a Murdoch publication, but it could easily be ...
@@oldishandwoke-ish1181that bad, huh? Wow. Seems like every country has its bad sources. Sucks they have to deal with that.
Kinda ironic that this Sargon dude names himself after a Middle Eastern personality, considering how he views Middle Easterners in general. Or does he think Sargon of Akkad was actually a European?
Brandon Pilcher it's not uncommon for white racists to appropriate pre-Islamic Middle Eastern culture...
So, do they think the Middle East was better off before Muhammad showed up or something?
It's funny, since the real Sargon of Akkad was a ruthless authoritarian conqueror who razed city after city, laying waste to the land and carrying its people away into slavery.
Right. Those were brutal times that produced him.
Also, Sargon was a migrant, part of a group that assimilated the sumerian culture and replaced the Elites. The Irony. Is. Just. Extraordinary.
When he is complaining about Riz Ahmed, Sargon says he was born in Germany, and then complains about Riz being a coloniser, even though he was born in the UK. Is it just me who sees the irony there ?
also an english white person has no business calling someone else a colonizer lol
Me: sees dislikes
Me: scrolls down to see the Sargon fanboys responses
Me: sees none
"Ah so they didnt actually watch the video. Makes sense."
Intellectual powerhouses like Sargon of Akkad won't watch more than one Sargon (five minutes) of a Leftist video as they'll be wasting time that could be spent on destroying the Left with supreme facts and ultimate knowledge.
I listen to the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters and used to listen to Sargon a lot, I did watch this whole video and Shaun is dead right. I have nothing to say in his defense in these cases. The "alt-right" media does have it's place, I really dislike I, Hypocrite but his documentary on grooming gangs in the UK was quite shocking and really showed how diversity politics can fuck people over, when cops turned a blind eye to predominately Middle Eastern/Asian grooming gangs in the UK and certain officers were literally told "go and find some white perpetrators" instead of investigating these gangs. Commentators like these guys are good for exposing things like that, or teachers trying to protect pedophiles, or people trying to push children into transition surgery. They lose me when they get into shit like this, or when they claim we need religion in our government, and certainly I have a massive fucking problem with talks of ethnostates and racial separation, which interestingly enough is an idea I hear from both far right and far left people now which scares me, because I think we really are better off together, many of the best people I know are first or second generation immigrants and my life would certainly be worse off without them around me.
You deserve so much praise for standing up against all these gamerbros in a time when you guys were so intensely attacked and harassed for it. You have genuinely done so much to stop these young men from being manipulated and harmed, and been a great ally for our respective communities and I am very thankful for the work you’ve done.
totally agree
you people in comments exaggerate so much. words on a comment section aren't "intense attacks"
@@john_smith_john
Doxing and death threats are
@@john_smith_john Do you not remember what TH-cam in 2016/2017 was like? There were so many "anti-SJW" channels (e.g. Leafy) who would basically just attack and insult "SJWs" and encourage their fanbases to do the same
@@john_smith_johnNo. You downplay reality. Fake accusations, death threats and doxing are "just words" yet also criminal offenses. A lot of these loser magnets also flocked to other platforms after they were rightfully banned, so things are obviously different nowadays.
I read an article once. The first letter was "A". A? What the fuck kind of article is that?! It's not even a complete sentence, it's typical SJW vagueness!
Bloody indefinite articles! What happened to a good old fashioned 'the', eh? Commalists, that's what, with their run on sentences and subclauses.
Yeah I don't know if SWH ... too close to SJW, but be a Muslim... was going for the internal pun on article, but I love it.
Sargon: "Many argu- HAHAHAHAHHA hurr durr HAHAHa HARR HARR HARR HARR HYUCK HYUCK HYUCK HAHAHA"
Me: "Just shut the fuck up and read the damn thing before you start criticising it! god damn it!"
Shaun, this video is gold. Guys like him have been popular for the past few years, but I'm glad to see more and more people are finally making videos that show the world that they aren't intellectuals or "rationals" but just a bunch of propagandists that only accept information that validates their biases.
"only accept information that validates their biases." Right b/c the social justice warriors don't do that at all...
Yeah, because everyone in The Left™ acts like a single entity and they all share the same ideas and opinions.
I'm talking about Sargon, and how he can't do any form of research before spewing out his shitty opinions all while thinking he's a "Rational".
+Space Hitler
i thought sargon was left-wing?
Celestina fixed it.
It's a repeating theme that I've noticed and I don't see how his fans aren't at least a bit annoyed, because it just isn't well-timed. It seems like his videos are thing you could listen to rather than watch (kind of what I do with S+J's sometimes) and to have someone start laughing without getting through why, for an irritatingly long time, quite frequently, would start to wear thin.
"it's always Muslims doing this, yelling things like Allah akubar"
Well if I didn't think he's a prat before that just solidified my dismay
@Dylan Chouinard more like "it's always Christians doing this, yelling things like "I jove Lesus" because it's clearly not pronounced correctly.
He miss pronounced Allah as alloo
lucca- I spat out my coffee when I heard that.
lucca that is actually how you say that phrase. “Allahu akbar” it means god is great. The one thing in the video he got right and it was in the middle of a racist statement
@@FortuitousOwl it means god is greatest and Islam means submission.
Waddup, I'm Sargon of Akkad, I'm 19, and I never fuckin learned how to read

It fucking astounds me how little criticism these neo reactionaries get for spreading so much misinformation.
Sure you don't mean commulism?
dude youre in a comment chain filled with people hating him
Just FYI, neoreactionaries (NRx) are a bit different, they also spread bad statistics at times (see scott alexanders anti reactionary FAQ from 2013), but sargon isn't one. Not that there are still many NRx people around, seems quite a few of them jumped on the white nationalism or alt right / light bandwagon.
Where's the misinformation exactly, when he's just saying his opinion?
Or are whatever statistics that he brings up later wrong?
Regardless, it's probably as simple as people just not caring enough to make a fuss.
Say, I have an negative opinion of todays Germans, and mention that. And later bring up that during WWII X% of all Germans were nazi's (which is true, actual percentage is obviously not relevant here) then I would still be spreading misinformation by bringing up an unrelated fact, and making it look like they are related, all to justify my negative opinion of todays Germans.
Hiding behind 'they are opinions' or 'it is sarcasm' is just the classical motte bailey fallacy/rethorical trick. Popular on all sides of the political spectrum. (And largely abused by 4channers (who are being edged on by neonazi's who use them as useful idiots) but also massively popular on 'comedian' shows).
Sargon is trapped in an echo chamber at this point. Any disagreement is dismissed as "the left". He's too far gone.
He's... Too fargon of Akkad?
who else saw the dislike ratio then immediately sorted by new in the comments to see if you could catch a live one?
Guilty 😂
A ratio like this doesn’t get built with a single raid. A new wave passes through each time the algorithm starts recommending it again.
I disagree with the characterization of Sargon as ignorant rather than outright racist. He could have chosen to be ignorant about climate change, vaccines, the moon landing or any number of other topics. Instead he chose to be ignorant about people he doesn't understand.
For the record, he also chooses to be ignorant about climate change.
@@aidancollins1591 Sargon "I don't care about the science but am willing to dismiss the science behind climate change" Akkad.
@@Ibirdball Even worse though, he'll use the "skeptic" line of "we don't know all the facts" and "scientists have been wrong before" instead of outright denialism.
@@aidancollins1591 Because as we all know, if you don't know 100% about everything then anything you do know is completely false and there's muh giant leftist conspiracy behind it all.
wait what trhe hell are you talking abut??? Sargon is ignorant about every single one of those topics as well as racism !! So i dont get your point at all
Whats worse Sargon or Nickelback? Well at least Nickelback never tried to justify a rise in hate crimes.
Ok. New one...
What's worse? Sargon or Nickelback and Saliva teaming up for one of the most annoying butt rock songs or all time for a spider man movie?
I still go with Sargon. Butt rock is at least funny bad. Sargon is just... Bad...
Nickelback tried to force me to look at a picture
Fucking commies trying to take away my freedom
@@GanguroKonata I liked it when he showed me that graph
@@GanguroKonata my god, must be a jewish producer making that video then forcing ous his feminazi values through those focking commies, THE GOVERMENT IS BEHIND IT!!!
As someone who likes many songs from Nickelback, I am deeply offended.
But then again, everytime I see a joke on Nickelback it makes me laugh, just like this photograph.
Years ago I was a huge fan of Sargon and Channels like his, calling themselves sceptics and super rational.
At some point I just lost interest and never clicked of their videos again.
Starting with 2024, YT has suggested videos like this to me. It actually hurts to see what kind of perople I liked, even though I was already an adult. I watch videos like this one to remind me how blinded and full of myself I was back then.
Thank you for making content like this!
I can hardly believe that I was an Elon fanboy a few years ago. Granted, all he was known for were Paypal and Tesla at the time. Nowadays we have twitter, hyperloop and his right wing extremisms to come to a conclusion, but even then I simply ignored the occasional post criticising him. Luckily I didn't have any accounts to leave comments with.
"Capitalism, it literally doesn't care"
But you know what does care? Implementations of capitalism. Unregulated, it tends towards exponential power. Place that over a, say, a society that is historically sexist, and you get a system that exemplifies the biases of said system. It doesn't matter if the "capitalism" is unbiased, it clearly works to empower bias. It's a catalyst. It increases bias.
It's just not the case that every business and entrepreneur starts fresh with clean-slate-capitalism, we all work off of currently established structures. Structures that already have their bias exemplified and encouraged.
Tbf though I’m a socialist I don’t understand how there can be anything inherently racist or sexist about capitalism. Obviously the systems are but only because of the country’s history
@@stopwritingthatreplyjohnat6638 well think about it, doing the bare minimum while exploiting the lower class is the most effective means for money, capitalism will always tend toward this outcome because exploitation makes far more money like this, since they can reinforce shit laws and goad social infrastructure, while increasing the gap between the classes.
Wow i didn't realize how delusional sargon was until now. The fact that he still has an audience is scary.
They're all just as mentally deficient as he is.
Not as bad as when he tried getting into real life politics, via UKIP.
@@retrogamelover2012 and he still claims he is centre left..
@@clairofan01 lol is this fr
unhinge the cringe yeah it’s to make him seem like a rational thinker but he’s just a far right tool
the number of dislikes on this video shows the cult that the Sargon crowd has turned into. They won't even watch the video to see where Sargon completely lost his shit and was refuted as a result. This video is an excellent and intelligent criticism of Sargon's trips into the valley of horseshit and propaganda..
Obail of Oolacile wow, the whole thing? I'm impressed! we should do something nice for him.
***** eyy, my dude, its satire. I'm satirizing sargon who famously didn't want to watch a response to a video of his and said "fucking hell can you not summarize this in under 5 minutes?" and i'm jokingly acting like actually watching a response video is some great achievement.
I would like to add that Sargon did not in fact watch the whole video, he watched to the "skip to the good bit" part and then maybe 5 more minutes. So just over a whole Sargon so he is getting better at listening to criticism. Slowly.
Paul Bennett Who the fuck are you even talking to?
Anyone who didn't vote UKIP in the UK or for Donald Trump in the USA is a far left extremist and must be wiped out. I salute you Paul Bennett for speaking out!
looks like sargon's "rational" following came to dislike the video without watching it and without criticism.
Just got finished watching the video, he hardly debunked anything lol. Basically did what his title said. He used fucking anecdotes to try and "Debunk" statistics then proceeded to BS his way out of the rest of sean's criticisms.
"I don't have to listen to your entire argument because i think one part of it is dumb XD"
I did just watch it. Jen made some good points like how Sargon didn't fully read the articles before criticizing them. I agree with Jen on that and Sargon should be more thorough before speaking. But I think atleast 4 times I went 'WHAT!?' to the stuff Jen said. He totally took Sargon out of context several times and made huge assumptions.
That part where he automatically assumed when Sargon was talking about Women exploiting their sexual appeal and he instantly assumed Sargon meant pornography made me really sit back in my chair with how ridiculous Jen sounded in thinking that is what Sargon meant.
Kind of like how they did Thunderf00t
Xados - how do you take someone out of context in a video where Carl is explicitly detailing the context in footage the responder kept in the video? Carl literally compared being British to being brown, and called it colonial.
If Carl meant something different it barely matters, he said what he said and it's barely different from what he usually says
"What offends Sargon is the suggestion that something needs to be done."
That's the thing that I dislike most about the conservative ideology. They would rather keep everything the same, even when changes would not affect them at all but affect others positively.
they don't just not want others to have rights because theyre sadists, they're convinced that giving them rights or having to acknowledge their own privilege in even the most basic of ways would upset the simple, delicate balance that has supposedly kept the world going for generations and has been "working out fine for [straight white men] so far," so why try to change it up. they dont see or dont care about systematic inequality directed at outgroups, or the fact society has always, constantly been changing and the conservative utopia they dreamt of never actually existed. They want to shove their heads in the sand and pretend they can create the perfect world by outlawing LGBT people, abortion, etc. and sending all the minorities and "cultural marxists" back to some corner where they dont have to look at them, or worse, back to "wherever they came from" (and by this they mean where their ancestors came from, ignoring the irony white people in america are themselves immigrant colonizers of a now-minority race's home). It's as much a fantasy as the way they portray the left, except in this one they're closing their eyes and wishing away all the "weird people" they don't like or understand.
Well, some seem to perceive change itself to be negative to themself.
So you‘re saying „What I dislike most about the conservative ideology is that it‘s conservative“?
Also, sargon cutting off your video to argue your own points about why he's being dumb back at him was, uh, sort of his entire response video to this.
Where is his response video?
