Not only are the countries he is saying have “fine” refugees don’t even speak English as an official language, Africa as a continent has the largest amount of countries that speak English:

Most other African countries speak French, Spanish or another European language as an official language. So what is the issue here? Many Africans have immigrated to Western countries and have integrated fine. It’s insane that Twitch is allowing this kind of rhetoric to be displayed in full velocity on this platform.

    Since when is this dude a political streamer. Wasn’t he popular for WoW and he was a PoS then. Why is anybody listening to what he has to say now?

      he discovered the grift and decided to get in on it. Even his father called him out on it after he called Palestinians “inferior”. that’s all this is. He’s an act, a con artist, a grifter.

      a guy that claimed streaming on his main asmongold account and getting paid with subs was “too stressful and causing anxiety” thus started streaming on an alt account that eventually became bigger than his main and makes him more money too.

      And the people that watch him are just morons of the lowest caliber.

      It’s the natural progression for a 20-something piece-of-shit gamer edgelord. When he hits middle age he pivots into being a miserable racist piece-of-shit bore.

          This is it.

          All you need is to parrot what more popular accounts say and have a phone and you can make money as a political streamer.

    What he says might be unpopular on this platform, but I don’t see the racism in it. Integrating large numbers of people from a completely different culture into your society is extremely difficult – if not outright impossible. Exhibit A: Sweden.

    This is one of those things where dismissing people who are worried about this stuff as racists or xenophobes just alienates them – and pushes them to vote for the actual racists and xenophobes instead. That’s how you end up where the US is today.

    I see clips of this guy in my recommended videos section on youtube all the time. I never click on them and I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips. Either way, I find it odd how signal-boosted this clown is. The gaming-to-politics pipeline is too strong.

    This dude has been a well known shit head for years. It’s not surprising to see him continue to be a well known shit head. Twitch, like most platforms, doesn’t actually care what people say, as long as it drives engagement.

    I see nothing racist or xenophobic here. This isn’t about race, its about how much effort is needed to reintegrate these people into your society.

    It’s actually really funny, that mild take like this sells to the hate mob here, while Hasan swinging a fucking gun on stream is ignored

      Why are you defending such a turdwaffle?

      Dude makes his living by making stupid takes and then playing up his doofus character to apologize like “durrrr sorry I didn’t know it was bad to call someone a f*gg*t”

      The devil doesn’t need an advocate, and he has a hoard of frothing redpills to defend anything he says.

        Tell me honestly, did you watch some of his streams, or did someone just told you he’s a turdwaffle and you’re just parroting someone eleses opinion? Or maybe you just see cherrypicked snippets and base your opinion on that?

    I think asmon is entertaining and his takes are mostly pretty fair. I’ve watched him for a very long time. Yes I will be down voted, that I know.
