    • I worked with a young man who loved all those guys. His anxiety was so bad, he'd have to be driven to the workshop. He was too scared to leave his front door...PhanLo
    • but immigration was hurting him. He also wanted private health care (in the UK), even though three generations of his family were on NHS medicine.PhanLo
    • He was quite intelligent and I enjoyed speaking with him. But I think the Youtube videos were his window into a world he knew nothing about.PhanLo

    • and within the context of the popularity of his channel, subversive nature of his content and age group of his viewers i think it's a really strong statement.kingsteven
    • I'm not familiar enough with Vic's work to notice a difference, but that makes sense then -- that he's ripping the alt-right style for effect.Gnash
