    Incorrect, Pewdie is a racist that actively allowed his audience to be co-opted by the right wing in the form of ‘edgy humor’ and thunderf00t is a misogynist who idealizes authoritarians.

    The only reason you don’t think they are far right is because a good chunk of western culture has been far right for a while and have gotten acclimated to it

    For scale, in the U.S. Bernie Sanders is considered dangerously left even by some progressives. Everywhere else in the world he would be center left

    And most Democrats aren’t progressives, they are moderate neoliberals

      I am not in US. I live in a country that doesn’t have any parties that are so right than democrats(maybe one, but it is illegal, because they were labelled hate group, and justifully so).

      I have followed both of these youtubers for more than decade and their values are progressive and closer to left-wing than right-wing.

      I am eat the rich level sosialist left wing, so please don’t straw man my political spectrum.

        I have been following thunderf00t for years and he isn’t even the slightest bit left, and I’ve seen enough pewdiepie clips to know you are full of shit
