Personality, sensibility and rationality will out. Look at Mike Lindell, probably has more 'life experience' than everyone in this thread combined. Cocaine and gambling addictions and recoveries, bankruptcy and foreclosure, 2 marriages, 4 children, his own business, his own media platform, political campaigns. And he's a total fucking wacko. The first reaction people have to him is that he's not relatable, not credible and we should inherently distrust his views, and with good reason. That boy ain't right.



also historically hermits have been sought out and venerated for their sage wisdom, shit it became trendy for rich families to actually keep their own paid hermits on estates in the 19th century or whatever
That's a notable cross-cultural phenomenon, from ancient asian hermits to christian ascetics

I don't know what he does or does not make for videos, just from clips I have seen of him, I would say its comparable to philosophy, its always just an expression of his views and that's where I would caution people parroting his views as if they hold some level of authority or weight and toss a video in a thread and say , yeah well Asmongold said this .... which is so often what you see here, as if means anything at all, but I think people think it does. I am not going to even click the video, tell me what you think, but I don't care what the guy who's never lived in this world thinks if I am talking to you.

And I think that in general, I think form your own opinion. If we use this topic here, we have videos, Goom formed his opinion I formed mine, we don't need Asmon and he sure isn't some authority to settle it because he might lean one side or another.

Well that's the thing, I try to remove my own opinions from my analysis and take a more constructive lens. Its my goal to figure out the mechanics of every story, naturally that's my style sir. We all have buttholes, I'd rather look at the reasons why asmongold is popular or whether the renee good shooting was legally justified or whether george floyd was murdered or which way the ukraine war will go. I don't mind overanalyzing the minutiae of some frame by frame video or digging up case law precedent if it will explain how the cookie will crumble. If we were just trying to support some predetermined narrative, why waste the effort

Where I think opinions on things do matter, and who is giving them matters is things I cant understand. I am not a doctor, so ill listen to a professional give their opinion. I am not an economist, ill listen to a few with different opinions and judge. But those are matters which I don't have expertise in so I seek commentary from those with professional backgrounds in those areas.

From what I gather on here in this discussion is people like hearing someone who is popular have similar opinions to themselves, and that makes them feel less crazy in this highly polarized world.

Side note
Cant wait for the 2A party to start selectively taking guns from certain groups of people.

Obey commands or get shot. That's not how the civilized world trains their police force.

There was no imminent deadly threat here. No guns should have been drawn. His actions go against all training. De-escalate, do not go in the vehicles path. There was no threat.

He draws his weapon and steps right in front of the vehicle. Nobody with any police training can defend this. Only bootlickers.

I obey

Quote (Djunior @ Jan 12 2026 11:54pm)

Laughable. Wake the fuck up

1) You interfere with law enforcement officers. Noticed the words law enforcement? They enfore and you as a civillian MUST obey. That's how it works in the real world.

2) Get in their way, behave like a toxic POS while you know they're already on edge because of similar situations in the recent past. Fail to obey their commands and instead ram one of them with your vehicle.

3) Face the consequences of your actions.




That's all I need to know. You understand that you have no authority and could get hurt if you obstruct them with your vehicle let alone disobey their commands and ram them with your vehicle.

See how easy this is
