Sargon's Patreon was banned today, while I've seen several vidoes discussing this turn of events, Sargon himself hasn't yet made a statement on the incident.

I'll update this OP with a link whenever he issues a statement.


What are everyones thoughts on this?
 
He will probably find another platform to rant and make even more money fleecing gullible fools. He is after all officially Procecuted tm by the international whatever thqt wants to silence him.

Do we know why he was axed?

Edit: Harassing Anita Sarkessian??? Pfff what an idiot.

Not at the moment this all just happened, but given how milk toast Sargon is I'm afried it really something benign.
 
Why did that happen? In principle I am generally against corporations cutting out internet creators. But on the other hand, my prior probability that it was because Sargon was genuinely being a shitheel on patreon is higher than 95%.

Remember that time Sargon got banned on twitter for posting porn at people and then posted a five-hour video with JonTron complaining about the horrible oppression of the left while painting his opponents as autistic screechers?

Because that's the sort of luminary we're dealing with here.

All I can say is that if Sargon got banned from Patreon for sending other creators unsolicited bbc then it's just his falt.
 
Patreon's Nazi crackdown is an absolute good. Milo's 3 hour stint was hilarious.

It's not a nazi crackdown Rodyle, actual Nazis hate Sargon and think he's a quote "retarded liberal"
 
Yes yes yes, parrot the cover story, as if we've never heard it
Rodyle look at yourself, you sound like Alex Jones.

"We see a steady spiral, from arguments in comment sections to far-right YouTube personalities to "the_donald" subreddit to 4chan's /pol/ board and eventually to fascist Discord servers. This user singles out Sargon of Akkad (British Youtuber Carl Benjamin) for special praise and considers him a major influence. One of Sargon's most popular video series' is, "Why Do Men Hate #Feminism?" (Episode #1 is titled "Feminists Hate Women.")

In later posts barD claims the "gradual red-pilling" of Sargon's videos stopped him from being a feminist. He also praises Sargon as an "easier step" away from liberal views than outright Nazism. Once he'd taken that step and gotten used to Sargon's rhetoric, it was easier for him to get used to the more extreme atmosphere of /pol/."
 
I am both more familiar with Sargon than you and the one of us who doesn't continuously give open fascists the benefit of the doubt.
Rodyle why do you consistently act like an authority on issues you know nothing about. I've been watching and subscribed to Sargon since 2014 and can safely say I've watched more then 75% of his vidoes.

I don't agree with Sargon on many things, but within the British political spectrum he's center right at most, and in the american context he's left leaning. No means a Nazi.

So yet again we have literal self identifying nazi saying Sargon is not one of them. His political positions and influence being a benifit to nazis doesn't mean they're in kahoots like some secert Illuminati meme cult.

Realmfighter I'm sure on the alt-right version of FiC there's an identical conversation going on about how TYT is a communist organization becouse youths watch Cenk and some of them end up reading marxist literature.

Lol that certainly says a lot about you

None of which is surprising granted but hey

The point is that Benjamin hating Nazis and not being one of them is absolutely irrelevant.

Like who gives a shit if Benjamin isn't a fascist if he helps the fascist cause, shills fascists and introduces people to the fascism. Benjamin is for all intents and purposes either fellow traveler to fascists and their organizations or a useful idiot and he should be treated as such.

And even then Benjamin is just a shit content creator, he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about 90% of the time and anyone that watches him will end up just as misinformed on anything he dares touch.

At least Shapiro or Peterson can actually cover their retardation with some trappings of faux intellectualism but Benjamin can't even do that competently.

...Those who pay attention to the fact he's actually been quite consistent about not backing fascistic behavior? To the point of calling out some skinhead-acting members of UKIP shortly after he joined? Like, the entire reason these cries about him being fascist, or leading people to it, keep coming up is the flagrant refusal of people to understand that no, he isn't the gateway to the alt-right, you hyperpartisan lunatics are. You turn everything not extremism into a hazardous position, because those who aren't some variety of extremist will have little to no backup when the ad-homonyms fly and the outrage mobs go for their livelyhoods. The actual alt-right people don't live in fear of such measures, because it just gives them more to point at to show that you are hateful authoritarians, "proving" their conspiracy theories. Other right wing extremism often goes hand in hand with support networks and employment opportunities. Meanwhile, on the left, "Intersectionality" has gotten a high enough saturation of left-wing extremism that anyone on that side is essentially safe from such accusations... Until they step out of line, that is. Which is why I want this partisanship to die in a flaming pit because the way it's currently set up, the right-wing extremists will win instead of turning into a stalemate.

Because they can step out of line without immediate obliteration. A person in the alt-right's social groups can question the ideology without being responded to with instant hostility, and many of these questions do have actual answers based in real facts. There's less faith to being alt-right than progressive, because the alt-right has the attempted tyranny of the far left to point at to justify itself. Some instances of the bigotry can be backed with the real data, no need to change any of it. All they have to do is misrepresent the very same numbers, and as such you need to go chase down the causation studies instead of merely being able to use blunt statistics to show the magnitude of their claims is grossly exaggerated, if not zero. Most importantly, the alt-right is on the defensive alongside most moderates, and doesn't do disruptive mass protests or riots with any real frequency, so there's much less in terms of recent incidents to form bias against them.

But in the middle? The people who don't go to lunatic extremes? There's a reason the term "Silent Majority" can't seem to die. The minuscule outrage mobs bludgeon public opinion into invisibility, and the dominance of that political leaning in higher education and Silicone Valley (and if you seriously think those two places don't have a massively disproportionate concentration of Progressives, you're uninformed to a flagrantly absurd degree) means that it gets inflicted forcefully on far more people than anything resembling merit leads to.

Edit: Here's a video from Sargon on some of the numbers of those influencing people to join the alt-right. TL;DW (it's less than two minutes), he's the lowest on the list the Southern Poverty Law Center cooked up for "influences" for joining the alt-right. The poll in question was on a sample of 74 users of "The Right Stuff", and he had three people saying he led them to the rabbit hole. Significant, yes, but as pointed out above, the extreme hostility of the far left towards moderates and lesser conflict between the moderates and the alt-right means that so much as pointing out the hostility of the far left can be a cause. And Sargon's channel is built on pointing out the hypocrisy, bigotry, hatred and insanity of progressives. In other words, he's an incidental collector of ammunition because he's anti-Progressive. By opposing progressives and seeking justifying information, you naturally gather much information that lends well to alt-right recruitment strategies. Because that's what this partisanship causes.
