...NOT american?

I watched this guy and was shocked by his thick (Scottish?) accent. I realize most of the big anti-woke "logical thinkers" have thick british/scottish/irish/australian accents. That or they're the most beta male person ever, like No Bullshit, who looks like he runs a D&D clan out of his mom's basement. But I get that last part.

But why are so many people making content about American politics? Howabout discuss your own country? Do you see any Americans making entire channels about Irish sociopolitics? Probably not.

Because -- hard though it seems to be for people who are invested in it to accept -- it's a grift. The only substantial market for that grift is in the USA. There's money to be made in telling a certain type of American precisely what they want to hear.

Because they watch American media too, and they’re all sick of leftist Americans inserting their personal politics since the rest of the world doesn’t give a shit who they vote for or what their beliefs are.

Or in TCDs case - he mostly just watches Star Wars, MCU and generic action hero popcorn flics.

[–] LanceDance (1297) a month ago

He doesn't only watch those, they're just the ones he makes many of his reviews on.

[–] Skavau (15993) a month ago

Sure, he doesn't /only/ do so but he mostly does. Paying Robyn Hood any attention at all was the definition of outrage bait, nevermind his episode by episode hatewatching of Acolyte.

[–] LanceDance (1297) a month ago

What does it matter to you what he reviews? His content isn't for you, so ignore him.

I just saw the topic trend. That's all.

Why are you racist against non-Americans?

[–] LoveCatsHateDogs (1935) a month ago

"Non-American" is a race now?

[–] jk90us (7138) a month ago

Always have been.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that a high percentage of the "anti woke entertainment" grifters do in fact tend to be from the UK or Australia, for some reason. I'm sure there has to be a specific reason but I could only speculate why.

Try "Money" via "Views" and "Clicks".

[–] Threadkiller (3075) a month ago

That explains the incentive for the grift, naturally but it doesn't explain the heavy presence of white Brit & Australian YouTube grifters in particular. Off the top of my head, I can't think of as many Americans, despite the U.S. pretty much being Alt-right, anti-"woke" headquarters.

[–] NorrinRad (5468) a month ago

There is a vocal contingent of Like Minded Alt-Right/Anti-Woke/Anti-Immigration Grifters in the world. Technology allows for the transcending of physical country boundaries. The USofA is an open market for exploitation both exported and imported.

[–] Threadkiller (3075) a month ago

All true but again leaves open the question of why the specific dominance of Brits & Australians in that grifter space.

Russia/China/Iran are insular countries that will buy the allegiance of actors and cutouts to undermine the USofA using Race, Politics, and Social issues. Money talks. That might be a tad overstated but nonetheless true.

The world is changing.
