    I wish it wasn’t like that, I also appreciate guns, but vote as far left as I can. The dude has a really solid analysis, but I looked at the other videos on the channel and wanted to hurl.

      That pretty much describes my same reaction to almost all guntubers as well, lol.

      On that note, RIP Paul Harrell, I suspect I would have disagreed with a good deal of his politics, but goddamnit if he wasn’t the most reasonable and professional FUDD who ever lived, I can’t actually tell what most of his politics were, because he had actual fucking decorum and kept it as level as humanly possible.

      Conversly: Fuck Brandon Herrera and Fuck the entire Garand Thumb gang.

        I used to like watching garand thumb before he started injecting political opinions in. I stopped watching him pretty early. I’m sure he’s gotten awful now.

          Same, he started out alright, and now him and his friends have all decided they are cooler than you, actually, are insanely pretentious, and they also seem to think they are something like indie film producers… everything is like 3 to 4x longer than it needs to be, overproduced and overwritten.

          Oh and of course all the blatent sponsorships and ads, which are not ads actually, because, heh, trust me bro.

          Bleck.

          Basically, if any guntuber seriously says ‘Two guns is one gun, and one gun is no guns,’ they’ve fucking lost their minds and are now gunculture social media infuencers, competing in a popularity contest and occasional drama fights… they’ve lost the plot.

          I wonder if these guys even… remember, or acknowledge the existence of FPSRussia, these days.

            Lol probably not man. Those guys have been high on their own farts for too long. I used to watch a lot of Taofledermaus, I haven’t for awhile, but (at a quick glance) the channel doesn’t look like it’s devolved into self aggrandizing fascist apologetics. Loved seeing all the different shotgun rounds they tried.

            I kinda stopped watching much guntube because it fucked up my algo and showed me too much magat shill garbage.
