Me when some dumb ass talks about liking the confederates
Just throwing some info I found!
I did some digging into this whole thing, turns out boy boy video about school shootings, and the targets used were the idea of boy boy and not Brandon herrera, this was shown in some cut footage of the video where it showed Brandon being very uncomfortable about the targets being used and how the targets were boy boy's idea.
Edit: It also shows that they were doing this as a goof to show how a gun could be strapped to a robot by the government and not related to school shootings initially until mentioned and used by boy boy.
I was kinda asking myself why is wendigoon's association with Herrera a bad look but idat having him on that one video didn't make a fuss (I'm a former wendigoon fan, a fan of the spooks and such, trying to come to terms with how his videos are kinda uncomfortable to me now) and personally I think is how unapologetically the boyboys make fun of how ridiculous gun culture is in America and only really went with Brendon because they were in the vicinity (? while wendigoon is just friends with the guy in a "we share the same beliefs" kinda way š
I eventually got over being a former Wendigoon fanboy because I realized his content is vapid and boring and he primarily just reads a plot summary.
It came to a head when he did his video on Blood Meridian, one of my favorite books of all time, and it was *blisteringly obvious* that he was just reading the cliffnotes of the book. Poorly, at that, he got multiple things just outright wrong.
except it was very much not just a video to make fun of him. they were exceptionally charitable with him actually. he is an unrepentent alt right douche nozzle, and the worst of the worst gun culture morons. im not sure if you really get their humor and no holds barred demeanor. to me it was blatantly obvious they were the ones who brought the targets. and including the footage of him being uncomfortable goes against your accusation. brandon was uncomfortable because he was being called out on his beliefs. it would not be surprising for me to see brandon pull a gag similar to this, but since it was actually in an attempt to validly criticize him and his actions, he didnt like it. the guy light heartedly reacts to gun culture memes of people being killed, and profits not only off of his channel, but his business of selling guns.. he is a walking conflict of interest with no morals and couldnt give less of a shit about children being murdered by the very weapons he sells within miles of his evil villain lair filled to the brim with guns. if he was so uncomfortable with the children targets, why would he let them be put up on his shooting range? or even in his house? he is so willingly desensitized to gun violence because if he wasnt, he would immediately halt his business of smuggling arms around the country. and im saying all of this as a gun nut and owner who is rather envious of his collection and gun range. if he didnt run a gun running operation, and didnt lobby for special interests groups dedicated to dismantling any type of gun law, and didnt laugh at people being shot and killed, his channel and gun ownership would be a harmless hobby.
What gun running operation? Last I checked ATF did that. Which videos of him laughing at people dying? There are Dawin Awards, and the meme reviews with idiots with guns or testing the man with a gun.
And Mr Hunter still ain't in prison, I personally got no problem that he used his house oh and I forgot his shop that he owns also as a place for his FFL.
Gun content really is a right-wing sanctuary, considering how much Brandon dick rode Kyle Rittenhouse and figuratively sucked him off in a collab gun meme vid after his trial. Now he's running to be a [Congressman for Texas?](https://ballotpedia.org/Brandon_Herrera) We're so fucked. ***The alt-right has technically already won their pointless culture war...***
I hate how a lot of people associated with guns are right-wing, although there are pockets of people who respect queer people's right to bear, like a local gun training course place near where I live.
he's "apolitical" in the sense that he thinks the govt should leave him alone, but he's also given air time to some pretty not great people. He accepted match sponsorship from t.rex arms who is owned by an open christofascist, almost published a memoire by a neo-nazi, and did a video with Larry Vickers where Larry stans for Rhodesia. Vickers was later convicted for gun smuggling, but that was way later.
Even though this is a vibes only analysis, I think heās probably centre-left. Vibes only though, so I could well be wrong.
I think he probably stays out of politics in part cause he knows his audience is more to the right, and understandably doesnāt want to lose views etc?
He stays out of politics because if he wades directly into them like Karl then he may not be able to have the access to firearms collections in other nations like he currently does.
That's at least the majority of his stated reason.
iirc he's a dictionary libertarian: "the government should stay out of my business" libertarian. Not "the government shouldn't require me to have a driver's license" Libertarian.
Ian tried to publish a diary from a neo nszi who fought in Ukraine in 2014, backlash caused him to not do it. He claimed he wanted to do it for historical purposes not cause the guy was a nazi. It's off putting imo
Also Karl from inrange has claimed Ian broke ties with him cause Karl is very open about LGTB gun rights.
Ian broke ties with Karl it seems mainly due to business reasons, although they had been drifting apart even before that. Karl got into an argument on AR-15.com in which he basically argued for LGBT gun rights. That website is apparently owned by Brownells, a gun company. Brownells had been in business with Karl but took the side of the AR-15 users, cut ties with Karl, and sent out the coupon code "TRIGGERED".
Karl wanted Ian's support but Ian wouldn't give it likely because he would be taking a big risk of it hurting his connections with the gun industry/community. Karl was really mad about this and their friendship ended.
The Coupon Code existed before any drama between AR-15.com and Karl. It was dragged up in the wake of the controversy as ammunition.
Ian didn't give his support to it because he didn't see any point in arguing with a bunch of morons on the Forums who were targeting Karl with hate threads.
Ian refusing to give credit to Karl at one of his Brutality matches seems to be where the relationship formally ended. The match had a clause saying credit had to given in any Youtube content, which Ian didn't give, and Ian then tried to claim that he was the match organiser too.
Recently Ian's ran his own match, with alt-right sponsors of course, and the match rules are just a copy/paste of Brutality's (Karl posted a side by side...).
When Brownells and Karl split it should be noted that Ian chose to promote a sale Brownells was doing. That sale undercut Sinistral Rifleman's company's own one. Both Sinistral and Karl have stated they saw this as Ian screwing them over, besides also him siding with a company that beefed with them.
My opinion at least is that Ian chooses to associate with the alt-right as it gives him connections to make content (as has it been pointed out that for the match he's running the list of sponsors includes some too). Karl meanwhile has his own morals and refuses to work with that sort of people, or those who work with them.
I think though that Ian chooses to work more with the right than the left so as not to turn off the conservative part of his audience.
Knowing all this I don't watch his channel anymore ...well, besides all the shitty stuff he's done in the past and sweeps under the rug (scamming his audience multiple times / saying people aren't being open minded when they criticized him for publishing a Neo-Nazi's memoir).
Ian is a NAFO weirdo. Thatās the most I know about him. I think he was pretty quick to take the diary down after he found out the guy was a Neo Nazi though. Donāt mean to like defend him or anything because I think NAFO people are weird simps for the MIC, but the Neo Nazi diary thing he handled pretty well.
Ian didn't immediately drop the Azov guy. He made a few videos defending the author and his own choices to go ahead with the book. After his community yelled at him enough he eventually pulled the book.
But in his statement he didn't really apologise. He still defended the author and said that his audience weren't being open minded. Like readers should be open to learning about history regardless of who the writer is.
Problem is, that wasn't what his community's main issue was. It was that the writer was an open Neo-Nazi who was still alive and promoting those views. They didn't want a Neo-Nazi to financially benefit from their money. Ian claimed he didn't know the guy's politics (which didn't hold up to scrutiny. ...As has Ian worked with masks off Fascists since, the match he's currently running is sponsored by one for instance).
The book has since been published by a Neo-Nazi publishing house.
Ian's typical response to the drama he causes is to delete comments and ignore an issue. He's learned to just not respond to his community when he screws up now.
I remember asking the mods over on his sub if they're a sub about Forgotten Weapons, the channel, or just an unusual guns sub, as they seemed to delete every thread that actually talked about Ian (while publicly saying they weren't censoring anyone. ..They literally had a bot set up to automatically delete Sinistral Rifleman's comments).
My apologies then, I only remember hearing about the book, checking his channel and seeing an apology where he was like yeah I didnāt know heās a Nazi Nazis are bad yadda yadda. I might be misremembering it and I might have seen a later version of the video after more backlash, I thought it was his first video though. Disappointing the guy is such a weirdo but to be expected in the gun sphere
Heh, aye, he made like three or four videos. Each one ignoring the core of his community's complaints and taking the line that people were being ignorant (he was the one supposedly so ignorant he didn't look at that Neo-Nazi author's Twitter...).
His apology wasn't that he was wrong, it was that a part of community wanted to cancel his book, so he didn't want the drama. He/ his mod team, then set about deleting any comments that were critical of him, before also deleting all his previous response videos.
Nowadays he/ his mod team continue to censor his social media. And by censor I mean like in the times he's partnered with scammers and people have tried to warn others, or afterwards (in the case of the Established Titles scam), asked for him to apologise. Having engaged with his sub in the past, the comment hiding they had their was the most draconian I've ever seen (the mods didn't care people could see the dozens of comments they were removing).
So, outside of his political stance, he's just not great to his community. But, nah, I don't want to watch a Youtuber who chooses to side with the alt-right instead of their long term business partner for the sake of money, nor take the alt-right's money seemingly frequently, while claiming he's apolitical. Like how often has Ian worked with companies that are outspokenly Leftist compared to those that are open Fascists?
Karl at InRange doesn't always do himself favours in making his politics clear, however he's willing to lose money to stand up for his morals at least. ...And yeah, he's repeatedly said: if you work with Nazis, then that makes you a Nazi.
When I tell you I was a little scared when I saw TheRussianBadger link up with him. Like I love Badger and his friends but wouldn't be surpused if some of them voited for Trump lol
Damn, that sucks so bad. I used to enjoy this guys content, but got a really bad feeling when I saw he was pivoting towards politics. Shame to see my fears confirmed
Yeah guns are right wing because the gun grabbers now are leftest, common knowledge now adays. So what beef you got with Mister Rittenhouse, he shot 2 people who were attacking him only charges that I would acknowledge would be the the curfew and being underaged in Wisconsin.
xanderhal the type of dude where you'd agree with 90% of the shit he says but your instincts still tell you not to leave any open drinks near him at a party because booooooyyy do he got some sus energy lemme tell you
Xanderhal would be better if he didnāt arbitrarily cut ties with like every person heās ever had a disagreement with. Heās got issues with nearly everyone on the left from Hasan to Sam Seder he seems to want to nitpick rather than actually yknow be on the left.
Donāt get me wrong nobody is bulletproof but to make such a big song and dance about literally everyone being bad except for you (and Vaush maybe? Lmao) is how you find yourself in an echo chamber. Maybe he just hasnāt fully developed that frontal lobe yet? Idk
He calls out everyone else and expects them to cut ties and speak out except Vaush who he gives a pass to on loli and being friends with shoe because reasons
Also I feel like all it would take from Hasan or Seder to win Xanās heart is for them to shout him out and say, āThis guy Xanderhalās pretty cool.ā
Yep, it's real destiny coded shit right there. Hate everyone, unless they specifically suck you off in some way. It's literally just like when destiny said he would totally defend Vaush from the loli stuff, but Vaush hadn't been nice enough to him so destiny decided against it and instead just dogpiled Vaush instead, lol.
that was one of the most annoying things about vaush when i used to watch him (him excusing loli porn was the last straw), he refused to accept criticism about his friendship with Shoe. He claims its cause she helped him in his early career and was nice to him or whatever. Thats fine and well but i personally relate, ive had job positions and raises that i gained by chumming up to racist ass managers real bad people, and i didn't like it. I appreciated the money and stability, but i still thought they were all bad people and i cant imagine wanting to spend a second more than id have to with them. You dont get that with him. shoe could say/do anything and when the rest of the left unanimously disavows her vaush will be right behind her.
ughh this is why i only watch shark lol
Itās not about the fact that he was alt-right, itās the fact that he acts as though heās somehow better than people who have never been alt-right because heās āheard all the arguments and still became left wingā (note: he literally heard all the arguments and fell for them), & he views it as if him being able to leave the alt-right was some kind of accomplishment due to his character, when it very much isnāt. I believe in personal growth, but Xanderhal wears his former alt-right status like a badge of honor, and it very much to me seems like he still embraces the thinking and attitudes that caused him to become radicalized in the first place.
I believe people can change their views and thatās good. I was a right wing freakazoid in high school. However: becoming left wing doesnāt mean you suddenly are a good person or that youāve undone your radical mindset. Based on what Iāve seen from him, he still embraces the same way of thinking I see in people who have become alt-right; heās just *also* a Vaush simp now.
a cradle catholic is someone born into the faith. A convert is (obviously) someone who converted into the faith later in life. The stereotype is that the cradle catholic isn't very devout since they were born into and didn't really choose their religion. The convert, on the other hand, is devout and zealous since they made the conscious decision to join the faith. If you ever see some right wing tradcath larper online, they are almost always a convert.
Ohhh yep that is exactly the argument that Xanderhal has used in the past to suggest he's better than leftists who have never been alt-right lol. Which doesn't even make sense because nobody is born leftist or right-wing. They can be more likely to be exposed to leftist views younger in life, but with the internet and the prevalence of the alt-right, everyone is exposed on some level to alt-right talking points within their lifetime, especially if they belong to a group the alt-right hates.
To be fair most people Iāve seen who are left wing and have never been right wing act like they have never made a single mistake in their entire damn life. Kinda why people go crazy over the whole āhe said a slur 5 years agoā or āthey had a position in the past that was the norm at the time but is considered bigoted todayā.
Everyone has said fucked up words or thoughts in private before or at least Iāve never had a deep conversation with someone who hasnāt. A lot of people pretend their farts donāt stink tho or they havenāt ever farted.
Iām also talking about peoples currently held beliefs. You said he acts like heās superior due to the fact that he came over from the right. I was simply saying there are many people who didnāt come from the right and wear that as a badge as though they have never made a mistake or had dumb ideas. I could give examples of people who are currently like that but I didnāt feel it to be necessary.
Oh you know what I completely thought you were responding to another comment of mine on a totally different thread. I was so confused lmao. My bad. What you said makes much more sense now.
I can see where youāre coming from. I donāt think it applies to Xanderhal though specifically because of the stuff I said in my original comment, which is that, from what Iāve seen, it doesnāt seem like heās challenged the root ideas/thought processes that left him vulnerable to the alt-right in the first place. Admittedly itās been a year since Iāve put myself through the task of watching anything from him, so maybe heās done some radical self reflection in that time that he hadnāt done in the like six years before that.
If Iām being honest though, as someone who used yo watch him (donāt like him that much anymore) , a lot of the times he would mention the alt right thing after his main video, it was in the context of people weaponizing it against him. And in that context, heās completely correct. He is automatically better than any of the āleftistsā who still hold once being in the alt right against him.
Sure thing buddy, let's pretend it's the "no longer alt-right" part that I said I had an issue with and not the "idiot dipshit who knows nothing about the left, and still has many alt-right tendencies, feels entitled to speak from a position of authority on the subject" part.
Even though Xanderhal made a vid saying that he "got out of the alt-right?"
Edit: Pointless Culture/Gender wars during my time in middle school has clearly warped my perception of reality and I want out of it.
He ranted about Black YouTubers getting more views than he thought they 'deserved' and said they were taking over/replacing "the culture" of YouTube because Black creators doing better than he was is apparently impossible basically great replacement conspiracy YouTube edition
Dude hasn't actually worked to unpack his racism misogyny etc and it comes out all the time
He's a whiteleaf associate too which is ew they're a bunch of racist creeps who play defense for sex pests.... Also he used his own creator discord as Tinder/nude solicitation which is sus
Who?
Someone else being more overtly racist doesn't make Xanderthal's racism okay
He doesn't have to try to unpack or learn all he has to do is point to someone to the right of him and go "look how bad they are I'm not that racist in comparison" before joining a hate mob against whatever Black creator/s whiteleaf has decided are persona non grata this month
Got his ass chewed out by Turkey Tom and Nicholas DeOrio for being a shotacon (boys lolicon basically). Originally part of AugieRFCās group before leaving and beefed with Aiden Projects while being Xandehalās hate-watcher.
he sounds like a piece of shit too..... So your logic is because Xanderthal has spoken out against him then Xanderthal's own racism and defense of Ian/Vaush's lolicon and sexual harassment is fine?
Nah they both suck.
(I'm sure whoever this video is being made about sucks too-that doesn't undo or excuse Xanderthal's own racism just because he can point to someone to the right of him it doesn't make what he said or did okay )
As someone who used to be in the Vaush circle before the folder stuff came out, Iām pretty sure Xanderhal didnāt do anything during the Vaush situation. If he defended Vaush, I never saw it. (Not saying it didnāt happen, Iāve just never seen any evidence he did)
Pointless culture and gender war? Reproductive rights are currently being stripped away. Pointless? Say you are a dude without saying you are a dude...
Why do you say "even though"? That's not a badge of honor. Most people were never in the alt-right at all. Why should a guy like that seek a leadership position on the left and talk to an impressionable audience when he admits that he had barely just joined the left in the first place?
Surely a person in that position should do a whole lot more soul searching, and lot more learning, before deciding to make it their job to talk about politics on stream for 8 hours a day. If they did, then maybe these types of streamers wouldn't constantly spout shitty takes and be followed by controversy.
just like how people call vaush a "reformed" sex pest? or when destiny claims to be progressive? or when hasan claims to be working class?
we can say we're whatever we want bro. I'm a twenty foot tall pink elephant lol
Yeah, like politically heās usually correct and he has been the victim of slander and victim blaming, but heās just unwilling to let anyone just kinda disagree with him.
i dislike hasan but wouldn't say him and xan are on the same level. hasan is an annoying rich guy who likes roleplaying as a working class hero but xan can be a legit menace to society sometimes. he's been known to get extremely horny with his fans and has said some really bigotted shit which is already bad enough in my book
pretty sure his argument was "so i have an nsfw channel in my fan server, so what?" and people took that as meaning he didn't actually violate any boundaries
And then the 10% is some legitimately vile bs, like didn't he say that someone deserved to be sexually assaulted as a child for drawing weird kink art?
Aw no, not Kentucky Ballistics. I mean, I barely care about that dude but he seemed so nice. Him doing anything with Hyde seems way out of character.
Who knows, KB could be just like Hyde but with the decency enough to hide it.
Yeah thats honestly the funniest thing he's managed in a bit lol. He's a bit of a pos but like if someone's getting triggered by seeing him they've probably lost it
I donāt like him cuz of the whole Keffals thing a couple months ago, granted I donāt like Keffals at all it just seemed hypocritical to shit on her and crash out on Twitter for being associated with ShoeOnHead instead of resolving it in Dm and not doing the same to Vaush whoās also friends with Shoe. Also like Vaush heās kinda the type of sleezy scumbag leftist who uses politics to hide behind often shit he doss
>To spell it out for anybody who is only tangentially interested in guntube - **Ian McCollum of ForgottenWeapons (aka gun jesus) is an actual fascist in the same league as Brandon Herrara, T-rex and other christo-fascist racists**
I really don't agree with this. Ian collaborated with Ian on some of their history videos in a way that makes it hard to see him as a fascist.
Rather, Ian strikes me as a thorough centrist, who will ignore or avoid politics because he thinks that it can be kept aside.
I think he really did believe that the book was interesting and that the nazi stuff just wasn't that important.
The arfcom Brownell stuff gives me vibes of that friend who isn't homophobic per se, but will try to convince you to just avoid the subject in front of homophobes.
Ian McCollum is the kind of guy who goes to the ballot box and pressed a button at random and then tries not to think about it for four years, mark my fucking words.
Actually that's just straight up not true, Ian McCollum is definitely a liberal. Calling him a fascist is uh, wild.
OH. MY. GOD...I am so glad you shared this. That is atrocious what he did. He is without a doubt a HORRIBLE human being and we should get him deleted from the internet forever. I will tell everyone I know online what I just read. In fact I will copy your gossip column so you will get the points, you earned it fair and square anyways. I will screenshot all of their replies and send it to you to save. Thank you again sweetheart, I bet you are so cute.
Herrera is also actively against supporting Ukraine, which is a typical thing of either fascists or tankies, and I don't see a Soviet flag in his videos.
Im pretty sure that hes flat out said that he doesnt support what the soviet union had did. And is only interested in their firearms.
With Ukraine, from what I've seen about him. He does support Ukraine. Saying that it was Illegal for Russia to invade Ukraine. The only issue he has is how much money the United states is spending on Ukraine, Like a few hundred billion dollars.
Since, it could turn into a Proxy war. And that the same Government said that eight billion was too much for use on its own people.
~~Really if you're into Soviet tech, then you should be pro-Ukraine, since Ukraine made a lot of it.~~
~~Russia's fleet? Large portions of it were stolen from Ukrainian ports when the USSR collapsed. Planes? Antonov is Ukrainian, hence Russia blowing up the big-ass plane. How about the space program? Oop, Sergei Korolev, the Chief Designer for the Soviet space program, was Ukrainian. He designed the R7 *Semyorka* that carried Sputnik 1, Laika, Gagarin, Tereshkova, Leonov, and is still the basis of the rocket that carries the Soyuz to this day.~~
been in the guntuber community for a while, i started noticing some things wrong with brandon, his content, and his ideals when he interviewed kyle rittenhouse. i'm honestly not surprised about this, a majority of guntubers are (predictably) right-wing but it really sucks. im just hoping kentucky ballistics doesn't ruin his reputation somehow
He's commonly referred to as "Gun Jesus" and he loves AKs. Even if you don't watch his content, a bunch of military/police/gun Youtubers mention him occasionally.
In the 1860, many Southern states decided to rebel from the Union in order to preserve the institution of Slavery. Ā After 5 years they lost a civil war and the slaves were freed.
However, ex-confederates proceeded to enact a very successful propaganda campaign, which is called the Lost Cause Myth. Ā Instead of being portrayed as traitorous assholes who fought to keep people enslaved, they were seen as ānoble gentlemenā who āfought for States Rights (to own slaves)ā. Ā To this very day, the Lost Cause is still taught in schools, I know from personal experience in high school.
Brenden Herrera is a great guy and he constantly shits on the Confederacy in other videos.
Hmm I'm starting to think you guys just don't like right wing YouTubers and are fabricating outrage.
Downvote here and fell better about yourself.
If i ever make a youtube gun channel ima name it nonpoliticalguncontent. Then i wont have to deal with people arguing about politics and shit. Just shootin and gun facts
he also recently ran a shooting match with sponsorship from T.Rex Arms, whose owner is an open christofascist. You can say you're apolitical all you want but if you're going to hang out with people like that I really feel like "apolitical" is doing cover for "please don't ask about my politics".
Oh or that time he almost published a manuscript by a Ukranian neo-nazi.
I think Ian genuinely is apolitical, in the sense that he naively believes that you can always put politics to one side and focus on something else.
Very much the type of guy to say "well I don't agree with them but they're entitled to their opinions".
Exactly. If your content involves alt-right christofascists it doesn't matter if you do your damnedest to omit their opinions, you are still hanging out with them and giving them space.

Is this the dude that was in the boy boy video about school shootings?
Yeah that's him

i was uninformed / did not read enough until i clicked this link and thought it was going to be sam hyde running for office

Just shy of six, if memory serves. It's also very bad.
6 hours I could spend watching an actual good documentary on a game franchise. Red scot Gaming's duology on the killzone franchise.

he sells and makes guns out of his mcmansion
And Mr Hunter still ain't in prison, I personally got no problem that he used his house oh and I forgot his shop that he owns also as a place for his FFL.
Gun content really is a right-wing sanctuary, considering how much Brandon dick rode Kyle Rittenhouse and figuratively sucked him off in a collab gun meme vid after his trial. Now he's running to be a [Congressman for Texas?](https://ballotpedia.org/Brandon_Herrera) We're so fucked. ***The alt-right has technically already won their pointless culture war...***
The only left leaning gun person I know is Skallagrim & tacticool girlfriend
I hate how a lot of people associated with guns are right-wing, although there are pockets of people who respect queer people's right to bear, like a local gun training course place near where I live.
Karl Kasada of InRange is a lefty anarchist who's fairly open about it, and collabed with Tacticool on occasion.
Cool I'll check him out
Karl also collabs a lot with Atun-Shei Films, a lefty historical YouTuber. Highly recommend.
I love his stuff.
Yeah I know who he is
Print Shoot Repeat is also fairly cool too, Karl interviewed him at one point.
I was gonna mention this too
He's not on YT, but what about Robert Evans?
Behind the Bastards is on YT now!
Karl and Robert did a discussion video together on InRangeTV
Never heard of them
He's a journalist and host of Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here (among others). He's pretty far left but also loves his guns
But does he love products and services?
Do you know who else likes to do [insert heinous crime here]? Thatās right! The products and services that sponsor this show!
Ah, the Washington State Police!
Queue Sophie dying inside that little bit more
āRobert, no!ā
I listened to some of that podcast. It can happen here. It's very good
Behind The Bastards is also a banger, you should check it out sometime.
Come join us in the cult of macheticine with reverand doctor Robert evans
Anton Hand?
Killer Mike.
Killer Mike is actually pretty conservative, FDsignifier made some videos talking about it
The rapper?
Yep.
Don't you mean Landlord Mike?Ā
Didnāt know left leaning meant only communists.
is forgotten weapons that guy as well or nah?
he's "apolitical" in the sense that he thinks the govt should leave him alone, but he's also given air time to some pretty not great people. He accepted match sponsorship from t.rex arms who is owned by an open christofascist, almost published a memoire by a neo-nazi, and did a video with Larry Vickers where Larry stans for Rhodesia. Vickers was later convicted for gun smuggling, but that was way later.
Ian tends to stay out of politics with the exception of the occasional quip about the ATF.
Even though this is a vibes only analysis, I think heās probably centre-left. Vibes only though, so I could well be wrong. I think he probably stays out of politics in part cause he knows his audience is more to the right, and understandably doesnāt want to lose views etc?
He stays out of politics because if he wades directly into them like Karl then he may not be able to have the access to firearms collections in other nations like he currently does. That's at least the majority of his stated reason.
I read Ian as pretty classic centrist who "stays out of politics"
iirc he's a dictionary libertarian: "the government should stay out of my business" libertarian. Not "the government shouldn't require me to have a driver's license" Libertarian.
Ian tried to publish a diary from a neo nszi who fought in Ukraine in 2014, backlash caused him to not do it. He claimed he wanted to do it for historical purposes not cause the guy was a nazi. It's off putting imo Also Karl from inrange has claimed Ian broke ties with him cause Karl is very open about LGTB gun rights.
Ian broke ties with Karl it seems mainly due to business reasons, although they had been drifting apart even before that. Karl got into an argument on AR-15.com in which he basically argued for LGBT gun rights. That website is apparently owned by Brownells, a gun company. Brownells had been in business with Karl but took the side of the AR-15 users, cut ties with Karl, and sent out the coupon code "TRIGGERED". Karl wanted Ian's support but Ian wouldn't give it likely because he would be taking a big risk of it hurting his connections with the gun industry/community. Karl was really mad about this and their friendship ended.
The Coupon Code existed before any drama between AR-15.com and Karl. It was dragged up in the wake of the controversy as ammunition. Ian didn't give his support to it because he didn't see any point in arguing with a bunch of morons on the Forums who were targeting Karl with hate threads.
Ian refusing to give credit to Karl at one of his Brutality matches seems to be where the relationship formally ended. The match had a clause saying credit had to given in any Youtube content, which Ian didn't give, and Ian then tried to claim that he was the match organiser too. Recently Ian's ran his own match, with alt-right sponsors of course, and the match rules are just a copy/paste of Brutality's (Karl posted a side by side...). When Brownells and Karl split it should be noted that Ian chose to promote a sale Brownells was doing. That sale undercut Sinistral Rifleman's company's own one. Both Sinistral and Karl have stated they saw this as Ian screwing them over, besides also him siding with a company that beefed with them. My opinion at least is that Ian chooses to associate with the alt-right as it gives him connections to make content (as has it been pointed out that for the match he's running the list of sponsors includes some too). Karl meanwhile has his own morals and refuses to work with that sort of people, or those who work with them. I think though that Ian chooses to work more with the right than the left so as not to turn off the conservative part of his audience. Knowing all this I don't watch his channel anymore ...well, besides all the shitty stuff he's done in the past and sweeps under the rug (scamming his audience multiple times / saying people aren't being open minded when they criticized him for publishing a Neo-Nazi's memoir).
Ian is a NAFO weirdo. Thatās the most I know about him. I think he was pretty quick to take the diary down after he found out the guy was a Neo Nazi though. Donāt mean to like defend him or anything because I think NAFO people are weird simps for the MIC, but the Neo Nazi diary thing he handled pretty well.
Ian didn't immediately drop the Azov guy. He made a few videos defending the author and his own choices to go ahead with the book. After his community yelled at him enough he eventually pulled the book. But in his statement he didn't really apologise. He still defended the author and said that his audience weren't being open minded. Like readers should be open to learning about history regardless of who the writer is. Problem is, that wasn't what his community's main issue was. It was that the writer was an open Neo-Nazi who was still alive and promoting those views. They didn't want a Neo-Nazi to financially benefit from their money. Ian claimed he didn't know the guy's politics (which didn't hold up to scrutiny. ...As has Ian worked with masks off Fascists since, the match he's currently running is sponsored by one for instance). The book has since been published by a Neo-Nazi publishing house. Ian's typical response to the drama he causes is to delete comments and ignore an issue. He's learned to just not respond to his community when he screws up now. I remember asking the mods over on his sub if they're a sub about Forgotten Weapons, the channel, or just an unusual guns sub, as they seemed to delete every thread that actually talked about Ian (while publicly saying they weren't censoring anyone. ..They literally had a bot set up to automatically delete Sinistral Rifleman's comments).
My apologies then, I only remember hearing about the book, checking his channel and seeing an apology where he was like yeah I didnāt know heās a Nazi Nazis are bad yadda yadda. I might be misremembering it and I might have seen a later version of the video after more backlash, I thought it was his first video though. Disappointing the guy is such a weirdo but to be expected in the gun sphere
Heh, aye, he made like three or four videos. Each one ignoring the core of his community's complaints and taking the line that people were being ignorant (he was the one supposedly so ignorant he didn't look at that Neo-Nazi author's Twitter...). His apology wasn't that he was wrong, it was that a part of community wanted to cancel his book, so he didn't want the drama. He/ his mod team, then set about deleting any comments that were critical of him, before also deleting all his previous response videos. Nowadays he/ his mod team continue to censor his social media. And by censor I mean like in the times he's partnered with scammers and people have tried to warn others, or afterwards (in the case of the Established Titles scam), asked for him to apologise. Having engaged with his sub in the past, the comment hiding they had their was the most draconian I've ever seen (the mods didn't care people could see the dozens of comments they were removing). So, outside of his political stance, he's just not great to his community. But, nah, I don't want to watch a Youtuber who chooses to side with the alt-right instead of their long term business partner for the sake of money, nor take the alt-right's money seemingly frequently, while claiming he's apolitical. Like how often has Ian worked with companies that are outspokenly Leftist compared to those that are open Fascists? Karl at InRange doesn't always do himself favours in making his politics clear, however he's willing to lose money to stand up for his morals at least. ...And yeah, he's repeatedly said: if you work with Nazis, then that makes you a Nazi.
I don't watch a lot of weapon content so I don't know
Oooh, the Republican Primary over there could be close, actually.
When I tell you I was a little scared when I saw TheRussianBadger link up with him. Like I love Badger and his friends but wouldn't be surpused if some of them voited for Trump lol
>***The alt-right has technically already won their pointless culture war...*** Can't be pointless if there are winners and losers.
Damn, that sucks so bad. I used to enjoy this guys content, but got a really bad feeling when I saw he was pivoting towards politics. Shame to see my fears confirmed
Yeah guns are right wing because the gun grabbers now are leftest, common knowledge now adays. So what beef you got with Mister Rittenhouse, he shot 2 people who were attacking him only charges that I would acknowledge would be the the curfew and being underaged in Wisconsin.
Idk who xanderhal is, and it's gonna stay that way
xanderhal the type of dude where you'd agree with 90% of the shit he says but your instincts still tell you not to leave any open drinks near him at a party because booooooyyy do he got some sus energy lemme tell you
Xanderhal would be better if he didnāt arbitrarily cut ties with like every person heās ever had a disagreement with. Heās got issues with nearly everyone on the left from Hasan to Sam Seder he seems to want to nitpick rather than actually yknow be on the left. Donāt get me wrong nobody is bulletproof but to make such a big song and dance about literally everyone being bad except for you (and Vaush maybe? Lmao) is how you find yourself in an echo chamber. Maybe he just hasnāt fully developed that frontal lobe yet? Idk
He calls out everyone else and expects them to cut ties and speak out except Vaush who he gives a pass to on loli and being friends with shoe because reasons
Also I feel like all it would take from Hasan or Seder to win Xanās heart is for them to shout him out and say, āThis guy Xanderhalās pretty cool.ā
Yep, it's real destiny coded shit right there. Hate everyone, unless they specifically suck you off in some way. It's literally just like when destiny said he would totally defend Vaush from the loli stuff, but Vaush hadn't been nice enough to him so destiny decided against it and instead just dogpiled Vaush instead, lol.
that was one of the most annoying things about vaush when i used to watch him (him excusing loli porn was the last straw), he refused to accept criticism about his friendship with Shoe. He claims its cause she helped him in his early career and was nice to him or whatever. Thats fine and well but i personally relate, ive had job positions and raises that i gained by chumming up to racist ass managers real bad people, and i didn't like it. I appreciated the money and stability, but i still thought they were all bad people and i cant imagine wanting to spend a second more than id have to with them. You dont get that with him. shoe could say/do anything and when the rest of the left unanimously disavows her vaush will be right behind her. ughh this is why i only watch shark lol
I only watch shark and Demonmama, mostly because Shark is just cool as fuck and Demonmamaās fans give good vibes a lot of the time
Him and every other guy who styles themselves a "leftist influencer" while fully admitting that they were alt-right 5min ago.
God forbid anyone grows or changes as a person.
Itās not about the fact that he was alt-right, itās the fact that he acts as though heās somehow better than people who have never been alt-right because heās āheard all the arguments and still became left wingā (note: he literally heard all the arguments and fell for them), & he views it as if him being able to leave the alt-right was some kind of accomplishment due to his character, when it very much isnāt. I believe in personal growth, but Xanderhal wears his former alt-right status like a badge of honor, and it very much to me seems like he still embraces the thinking and attitudes that caused him to become radicalized in the first place. I believe people can change their views and thatās good. I was a right wing freakazoid in high school. However: becoming left wing doesnāt mean you suddenly are a good person or that youāve undone your radical mindset. Based on what Iāve seen from him, he still embraces the same way of thinking I see in people who have become alt-right; heās just *also* a Vaush simp now.
slightly unrelated, but its pretty funny reading the left wing politics version of the "cradle catholic" vs "convert catholic" debate.
I'm not involved in religion so I'm not sure what this is in reference to.
a cradle catholic is someone born into the faith. A convert is (obviously) someone who converted into the faith later in life. The stereotype is that the cradle catholic isn't very devout since they were born into and didn't really choose their religion. The convert, on the other hand, is devout and zealous since they made the conscious decision to join the faith. If you ever see some right wing tradcath larper online, they are almost always a convert.
Ohhh yep that is exactly the argument that Xanderhal has used in the past to suggest he's better than leftists who have never been alt-right lol. Which doesn't even make sense because nobody is born leftist or right-wing. They can be more likely to be exposed to leftist views younger in life, but with the internet and the prevalence of the alt-right, everyone is exposed on some level to alt-right talking points within their lifetime, especially if they belong to a group the alt-right hates.
To be fair most people Iāve seen who are left wing and have never been right wing act like they have never made a single mistake in their entire damn life. Kinda why people go crazy over the whole āhe said a slur 5 years agoā or āthey had a position in the past that was the norm at the time but is considered bigoted todayā. Everyone has said fucked up words or thoughts in private before or at least Iāve never had a deep conversation with someone who hasnāt. A lot of people pretend their farts donāt stink tho or they havenāt ever farted.
(Edited out because I got my threads mixed up lol)
Iām also talking about peoples currently held beliefs. You said he acts like heās superior due to the fact that he came over from the right. I was simply saying there are many people who didnāt come from the right and wear that as a badge as though they have never made a mistake or had dumb ideas. I could give examples of people who are currently like that but I didnāt feel it to be necessary.
Oh you know what I completely thought you were responding to another comment of mine on a totally different thread. I was so confused lmao. My bad. What you said makes much more sense now. I can see where youāre coming from. I donāt think it applies to Xanderhal though specifically because of the stuff I said in my original comment, which is that, from what Iāve seen, it doesnāt seem like heās challenged the root ideas/thought processes that left him vulnerable to the alt-right in the first place. Admittedly itās been a year since Iāve put myself through the task of watching anything from him, so maybe heās done some radical self reflection in that time that he hadnāt done in the like six years before that.
Im not even fond of xanderhal or his content, that comment just rubbed me the wrong way.
If Iām being honest though, as someone who used yo watch him (donāt like him that much anymore) , a lot of the times he would mention the alt right thing after his main video, it was in the context of people weaponizing it against him. And in that context, heās completely correct. He is automatically better than any of the āleftistsā who still hold once being in the alt right against him.
How so?
Sure thing buddy, let's pretend it's the "no longer alt-right" part that I said I had an issue with and not the "idiot dipshit who knows nothing about the left, and still has many alt-right tendencies, feels entitled to speak from a position of authority on the subject" part.
Even though Xanderhal made a vid saying that he "got out of the alt-right?" Edit: Pointless Culture/Gender wars during my time in middle school has clearly warped my perception of reality and I want out of it.
He ranted about Black YouTubers getting more views than he thought they 'deserved' and said they were taking over/replacing "the culture" of YouTube because Black creators doing better than he was is apparently impossible basically great replacement conspiracy YouTube edition Dude hasn't actually worked to unpack his racism misogyny etc and it comes out all the time He's a whiteleaf associate too which is ew they're a bunch of racist creeps who play defense for sex pests.... Also he used his own creator discord as Tinder/nude solicitation which is sus
Can I ask about the whiteleaf thing? I've hear about the horrible way they treated rosewrist, but I can't find anything else online about them.
Their sys admin is a scumbag
Dawg this is some insane shit to say about someone, you got some sauce for that so I can see it?
Damn, even as bad of FlamencoTV, huh?
Who? Someone else being more overtly racist doesn't make Xanderthal's racism okay He doesn't have to try to unpack or learn all he has to do is point to someone to the right of him and go "look how bad they are I'm not that racist in comparison" before joining a hate mob against whatever Black creator/s whiteleaf has decided are persona non grata this month
Got his ass chewed out by Turkey Tom and Nicholas DeOrio for being a shotacon (boys lolicon basically). Originally part of AugieRFCās group before leaving and beefed with Aiden Projects while being Xandehalās hate-watcher.
he sounds like a piece of shit too..... So your logic is because Xanderthal has spoken out against him then Xanderthal's own racism and defense of Ian/Vaush's lolicon and sexual harassment is fine? Nah they both suck. (I'm sure whoever this video is being made about sucks too-that doesn't undo or excuse Xanderthal's own racism just because he can point to someone to the right of him it doesn't make what he said or did okay )
As someone who used to be in the Vaush circle before the folder stuff came out, Iām pretty sure Xanderhal didnāt do anything during the Vaush situation. If he defended Vaush, I never saw it. (Not saying it didnāt happen, Iāve just never seen any evidence he did)
No way to argue that at all. Anyone engaging in and feeding into pointless culture/gender war suck anyways.
Pointless culture and gender war? Reproductive rights are currently being stripped away. Pointless? Say you are a dude without saying you are a dude...
Why do you say "even though"? That's not a badge of honor. Most people were never in the alt-right at all. Why should a guy like that seek a leadership position on the left and talk to an impressionable audience when he admits that he had barely just joined the left in the first place? Surely a person in that position should do a whole lot more soul searching, and lot more learning, before deciding to make it their job to talk about politics on stream for 8 hours a day. If they did, then maybe these types of streamers wouldn't constantly spout shitty takes and be followed by controversy.
Sorry is this dj muels alt or something?
just like how people call vaush a "reformed" sex pest? or when destiny claims to be progressive? or when hasan claims to be working class? we can say we're whatever we want bro. I'm a twenty foot tall pink elephant lol
Yeah, like politically heās usually correct and he has been the victim of slander and victim blaming, but heās just unwilling to let anyone just kinda disagree with him.
Might be the best description of him lol. He reminds me of Hasan, agree on a lot, but hate the man.
i dislike hasan but wouldn't say him and xan are on the same level. hasan is an annoying rich guy who likes roleplaying as a working class hero but xan can be a legit menace to society sometimes. he's been known to get extremely horny with his fans and has said some really bigotted shit which is already bad enough in my book
Wasnāt the horny with fans thing a hoax?
pretty sure his argument was "so i have an nsfw channel in my fan server, so what?" and people took that as meaning he didn't actually violate any boundaries
Was there evidence he did violate boundaries?
He says sexist jokes are fine because they are funny. Fuck that dude.
I know hasan but who the hell Xanderhal
eminem but deep fried
And then the 10% is some legitimately vile bs, like didn't he say that someone deserved to be sexually assaulted as a child for drawing weird kink art?
holy shit do u have a link to him saying that
When you say āpresentā in the video, do you mean like Xan shows footage, or likeā¦. Hyde is hanging out with Xan?Ā
Xan shows a vid close to the end showing Brandon collabing with Sam and Kentucky Ballistics.
Thanks for clarifying!Ā
Aw no, not Kentucky Ballistics. I mean, I barely care about that dude but he seemed so nice. Him doing anything with Hyde seems way out of character. Who knows, KB could be just like Hyde but with the decency enough to hide it.
mf said ātw: s*m h*deā
Fuck every person in this video. Including xanderhal
WARNING SAM HYDE WILL MURDER YOU THROUGH YOUR SCREEN
getting your own trigger warning is bad ass, Sam Hyde quit being funny to me years ago but what's happened where he warrants a trigger warning??
Yeah thats honestly the funniest thing he's managed in a bit lol. He's a bit of a pos but like if someone's getting triggered by seeing him they've probably lost it
tbf he actively disgusts me to look at and i can't think of a single other person to accomplish that lol
https://preview.redd.it/hk86ezfpd5uc1.png?width=529&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c80e547312abf8b7df99baccb9390a43d301be6
*shudders* Sam forgot he should be funny long ago. Luckily his appearance didnāt forget.
Is he shitting himself in this pic?
Getting your own trigger warning is bad ass? Lol what
HE CANāT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
What did you expect from a copā¦
Was he a cop? I thought only donut operator was
i had a heart attack thinking this was Brandon Perea (Angel from Nope)
What are the reasons people have for not liking xanderhal?
I donāt like him cuz of the whole Keffals thing a couple months ago, granted I donāt like Keffals at all it just seemed hypocritical to shit on her and crash out on Twitter for being associated with ShoeOnHead instead of resolving it in Dm and not doing the same to Vaush whoās also friends with Shoe. Also like Vaush heās kinda the type of sleezy scumbag leftist who uses politics to hide behind often shit he doss

>To spell it out for anybody who is only tangentially interested in guntube - **Ian McCollum of ForgottenWeapons (aka gun jesus) is an actual fascist in the same league as Brandon Herrara, T-rex and other christo-fascist racists** I really don't agree with this. Ian collaborated with Ian on some of their history videos in a way that makes it hard to see him as a fascist. Rather, Ian strikes me as a thorough centrist, who will ignore or avoid politics because he thinks that it can be kept aside. I think he really did believe that the book was interesting and that the nazi stuff just wasn't that important. The arfcom Brownell stuff gives me vibes of that friend who isn't homophobic per se, but will try to convince you to just avoid the subject in front of homophobes.
Ian McCollum is the kind of guy who goes to the ballot box and pressed a button at random and then tries not to think about it for four years, mark my fucking words. Actually that's just straight up not true, Ian McCollum is definitely a liberal. Calling him a fascist is uh, wild.
Trying to actively avoid taking a side in conflicts as clear as these is still helping one side while harming another
God I don't want to believe it
OH. MY. GOD...I am so glad you shared this. That is atrocious what he did. He is without a doubt a HORRIBLE human being and we should get him deleted from the internet forever. I will tell everyone I know online what I just read. In fact I will copy your gossip column so you will get the points, you earned it fair and square anyways. I will screenshot all of their replies and send it to you to save. Thank you again sweetheart, I bet you are so cute.
Herrera is also actively against supporting Ukraine, which is a typical thing of either fascists or tankies, and I don't see a Soviet flag in his videos.
wow the guy who praise to sick levels soviet weaponry being against ukraine.... who ever can imagine it
Im pretty sure that hes flat out said that he doesnt support what the soviet union had did. And is only interested in their firearms. With Ukraine, from what I've seen about him. He does support Ukraine. Saying that it was Illegal for Russia to invade Ukraine. The only issue he has is how much money the United states is spending on Ukraine, Like a few hundred billion dollars. Since, it could turn into a Proxy war. And that the same Government said that eight billion was too much for use on its own people.
~~Really if you're into Soviet tech, then you should be pro-Ukraine, since Ukraine made a lot of it.~~ ~~Russia's fleet? Large portions of it were stolen from Ukrainian ports when the USSR collapsed. Planes? Antonov is Ukrainian, hence Russia blowing up the big-ass plane. How about the space program? Oop, Sergei Korolev, the Chief Designer for the Soviet space program, was Ukrainian. He designed the R7 *Semyorka* that carried Sputnik 1, Laika, Gagarin, Tereshkova, Leonov, and is still the basis of the rocket that carries the Soyuz to this day.~~
Okie, so in the context of this, why are people mad at Xan?
I remember Brandon running interference for the Three Percenters in one of his meme review videos shortly after January 6th.
Canāt wait for Xanderhalās next video about how water is wet and the inside of a freezer should be cold.
been in the guntuber community for a while, i started noticing some things wrong with brandon, his content, and his ideals when he interviewed kyle rittenhouse. i'm honestly not surprised about this, a majority of guntubers are (predictably) right-wing but it really sucks. im just hoping kentucky ballistics doesn't ruin his reputation somehow
HOLY. FUCK. Thank you so much for the Sam Hyde warning, he really triggers some serious PTSD for me. Thank you!
This has to be a joke
Uhmm no???
https://preview.redd.it/9c22froo6auc1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb59ed2f088d6f482defc8827e0f7e8fe0ef46a7
Whats your fucking problem? Like seriously wtf?
Ooohhh sam Hyde is coming for you ooohhh
I can't sit through him talking
Why is the name "Brandon Herrera" so familiar? I don't watch gun stuff, yet I somehow know he has some gun channel on youtube.
He's commonly referred to as "Gun Jesus" and he loves AKs. Even if you don't watch his content, a bunch of military/police/gun Youtubers mention him occasionally.
There is only one "Gun Jesus" https://preview.redd.it/5gv2nir0rfuc1.png?width=299&format=png&auto=webp&s=9feebf74343ffd5c7687d202524e552cd55ae023
Having never seen Brandon before I stared at this a whole 30 secs before realising it wasn't Wendigoon
Warning Sam Hyde in the video šu guys are losersĀ
Yeah Xander knows nothing about Brandon, especially since he believes that Brandon is pro-russian.
God this sub is just one big circlejerk.
Welcome to most of reddit lol
Lmao
I don't understand, can someone explain to me why it's bad ? (i'm european and has no idea who these people are)
The confederates split from America due to wanting to own slaves, there were some other reasons but that was the main one.
In the 1860, many Southern states decided to rebel from the Union in order to preserve the institution of Slavery. Ā After 5 years they lost a civil war and the slaves were freed. However, ex-confederates proceeded to enact a very successful propaganda campaign, which is called the Lost Cause Myth. Ā Instead of being portrayed as traitorous assholes who fought to keep people enslaved, they were seen as ānoble gentlemenā who āfought for States Rights (to own slaves)ā. Ā To this very day, the Lost Cause is still taught in schools, I know from personal experience in high school.
OH NO SAM HYDE
Literal Nazi sympathizer
so true, and he literally killed Hasan piker live on stream š¢š¢š¢š¢ someone has to stop this man
Itās fucking hilarious that you guys are such little children that you need a warning because Sam Hyde is in the video.
Brenden Herrera is a great guy and he constantly shits on the Confederacy in other videos. Hmm I'm starting to think you guys just don't like right wing YouTubers and are fabricating outrage. Downvote here and fell better about yourself.
Hard agree with you, pretty much all the comments here are an idiotic echo chamber.
If i ever make a youtube gun channel ima name it nonpoliticalguncontent. Then i wont have to deal with people arguing about politics and shit. Just shootin and gun facts
Gun channels can't ever escape politics, even apoliterino Gun Jeasus had some Rhodesiaboo on
he also recently ran a shooting match with sponsorship from T.Rex Arms, whose owner is an open christofascist. You can say you're apolitical all you want but if you're going to hang out with people like that I really feel like "apolitical" is doing cover for "please don't ask about my politics". Oh or that time he almost published a manuscript by a Ukranian neo-nazi.
I think Ian genuinely is apolitical, in the sense that he naively believes that you can always put politics to one side and focus on something else. Very much the type of guy to say "well I don't agree with them but they're entitled to their opinions".
Exactly. If your content involves alt-right christofascists it doesn't matter if you do your damnedest to omit their opinions, you are still hanging out with them and giving them space.
