    lmao no he’s Simon Whistler he does a shit ton of presenting for videos mostly about history and politics, and it’s always dogshit. i don’t even know the guy’s actual views and that’s probably by design because he’s kind of a mr beast figure in the sense that he’s just a vessel for the algorithm. i don’t know if he only gets paid to host or he does retain some control on the scripts but almost all of it is dogshit.

      Not only is the stuff he says often wrong, he’s also a turbo-lib anticommunist. “Gommunism no food 19beanie4 muh 500 trillion kulaks” levels of analysis. He’s the perfect example of British people having a British accent makes them think they’re smart.

      does he sound like that when he’s ordering a kebab, or is he just putting on the overly pronounced accent to sound more big brained 🤔
