Did you watch the video? He wasn't outraged once in counter of the MAGA attackers. In fact he was 100% supportive of those attacking the MAGA kid. Watch it - see for yourself.

Yeah I skimmed over it & I don't agree. He's just taking the piss out of the people who made extreme statements about the issue.
Surely you can pick up on the sarcastic tone he's using?
There were extremists on both sides of the fence, just FYI. 'Blue check' Tweets talking about punching the kid's face on one side & the full force of 4Chan justice warriors on the other...
Ya I don't think Sargon is genuinely representing either extreme in this video. He's just being really, really funny, and as far as I'm concerned mainly represents those who know how to laugh at this ridiculous shit. I hope he does this character more often.

by only pointing out the extremes on one side he's pandering to the other side (see point 2 in the step-by-step guide)... some might call it partisan hackery. I'm in that group.
wierd that you find this funny... that hadn't even occured to me.

Yes that is weird. I didn't see much of a binary in terms of the initial MSM response. Initial condemnation was also pretty uniform across the political Spectrum. This is what Sargon is having fun with. He's having fun with the uniform reaction of dupes to MSM programming.
I didn't realize 4chan had hit the MSM big time.

I'm not sure why you're mentioning the mainstream media, Sargon's only commenting on Twitter posts.
He shows a CNN clip at the start to just show what happened but doesn't comment on it. What he missed in the clip is CNN falsely claiming Philips is a 'Vietnam Vet' which (if you trace it all back) was in the comment of the original Twitter post that contributed to people losing their shit. The Twitter account that posted the original clip has been banned for fake news, for falsely claiming he was a Vietnam vet & making the MSM look bad or something like that. It's not their fault for not doing their job & fact-checking their info, it's the random Twitter person for making the mistake. So the logic goes.

Sargon begins by showing MSM programming, then leads into the Twitter posts that the MSM programming generated. And then he plays it hilariously straight. Again, what attracts me to any of this material is pointing out the penalty of false journalism. The penalty is irrational insanity that genuinely threatens us all, but some times it's fun to just play it straight for laughs. I've asked Sargon to do this mirror universe character more often - I have half a thousand confirmed seconds so far.

People were mostly reacting to the original video I think. Extremist media & Twitter people were doing their thing on both sides. I don't find it funny, it's just how information flow works these days.
What I find funny is the black Israelites. I think it would be fun to hang out with them. Their interaction with the kids was funny. Kinda satisfying too, since those black guys were being drowned out for a change. And the fact that they pretty much caused this whole thing & walked away laughing. Race war is over. Blacks win again! lol

What I've come to realize is that the people who achieve highest status in these ideological systems are often con-people or insane - the reason being because the ideology is itself insane. So the more insane you are, or the more opporutnistic you are, the more likely you are to achieve high status within these belief systems. This is very dangerous. At least with traditional religious dogmas you have a means to keep the Milgrams in check. Once the Milgrams shimmy over to nihilist doctrines it makes existence that much more dangerous for the rest of us.

What's a Milgram?
And how is it linked to nihilism?
