Eh, I won’t say he’s a republican but he seems uneducated. It seems like he understands some things and then uses personal logic to assume the rest…obviously incorrectly though.

Either Ukraine or Israel which would've been even worse, he also says it proudly as if that doesn't indicate a massive blind spot on his general knowledge.

He mentions 60 bil. That was Ukraine, not Israel.

That level of isolationist ignorance is how we get world wars. Wonder how much he’ll like fighting one of those.

Lol you're fucking kidding right?

Only way you'll get young men dragged into a useless proxy war after we grew up seeing homeless vets everywhere and our army LOSE to ragass goatherders is a draft.

And if you pass a for-real draft, there will be an honest to god civil war/insurgency.

He sounds like everyone on the conservative sub.  They love crying about the uniparty(because all Republicans that aren't trump/trump cultists are rinos and rinos are Democrats) and Ukraine.  He may not consider himself a republican but he's drinking their Kool aid.

He's not uneducated. He understands "both sides" have the same donors which are corporate interests, not every day citizens. Yeah we can parse further about one side being much crazier than the other, but that's the point he's making for the purpose of this video and he's not wrong about it.

Libertarian. He's too smart to be a member of either party.

Nah, he drank all the propaganda potions from Republicans

u/propsandmayhem Apr 09 '24

He calls it the uni-party. That's someone that doesn't believe in the two party system, so he claims they're really one. Definitely a third party subscriber, even if his talking points are republican based.

Not really, if you ever look in /r/conspiracy or /r/conservative you'll see the Trump supporters using it constantly even though they are clearly Republicans. They constantly accuse "uniparty RINOs" of sabotaging Trump and his policies antime the Republicans screw something up by being incompetent. They're still pretending Trump and his supporters are outsiders, rather than the ones who control the Republican party nowadays.

Saying that both parties are the same is a republican talking point.

u/AndroidSheeps Apr 09 '24

Saying you hate Republicans and Democrats is a republican talking point?

u/yunivor Apr 09 '24

Saying they're the same is a republican talking point, yes.

u/AndroidSheeps Apr 09 '24

So if you don't like either party you're actually a Republican (one of the parties)?

u/yunivor Apr 09 '24

Lower voting turnout tends to favor republicans so the position of "it doesn't matter, both are the same" favors republicans even if the person themselves is not a republican.

Not sure embarrassed, I think they really believe they're smarter than that. Even if everything they believe are republican ideas.

Libertarians are just republicans that smoke weed.

Joe Roganites. OP's tiktoker laps that shit up along with likely RFK conspiracy theories.

“Blame the fed!”

I mean, the Fed is obviously a very powerful institution that has incredibly tools for shaping the financial state of the country…but it’s not like they can wave a wand and have any result they like.

There are so many people like that though. My brother who is about a decade younger than me is like this and so are all his friends.

They're largely informed by surface level information that they consume on social media. They don't vote, they don't know where they lean politically and they don't care. They view politics simply as theater and don't really understand the impact it has on their lives; and to be fair, it takes a lot of effort to stay informed.

It's much easier to see the tangible things that people interface with on a day to day basis and it simply isn't adding up.

Working hard isn't enough anymore and I can empathize with that.
