Giant right-wing influencer ‘Asmongold’ turns on Israel

The streamer Asmongold is one of the most wretched people on the planet. He’s also an incredibly popular streamer on the American right, with his video uploads receiving more than a hundred million views a month on YouTube.

As someone who seemingly fell into politics accidentally, Asmongold is more of a follower than a leader when it comes to political trends. This suggests he’s seen the way the tide is turning on the American right, and he’s decided his continued support for Israel will be bad for business:

Asmongold is backtracking his support for Trump and Israel as their approval nosedives.

Despite a year of daily praise, Asmongold now claims he never trusted Trump.

And he says protesting Israel is "America first" despite prior calls for protesters to be jailed and deported. pic.twitter.com/4nper1dvsQ

Asmongold the wretch

When we say Asmongold is wretched, there are two points which best sum this up. The first is the squalor he chooses to live in:

Asmongold must be a multi-millionaire given his success, so he could pay for an army of cleaners to tend to this. The fact that he doesn’t suggests one of two things:

• He loves it.
• He’s realised he can better attract unwashed followers by presenting himself as the king of the shut-ins.

The second point is the ‘rat alarm clock’, which was… unique.

In his own words:

I’ve had many dead rats in the house, but there was a dead rat in the house… I use the dead rat as an alarm clock, because basically I live in Texas. It gets really hot in Texas, and whenever it would get really hot… the house would get hotter, and it would like cook the corpse of the rat, and it would make it smell worse.

So like I would wake up every morning at like 7:30 or 8:00 am.

Like I was ready to fucking go because the first thing that happened is I’d smell that goddamn rat. You know what the fuck? Yeah, this is a, that’s what, it’s a natural alarm. Yeah, free alarm clock.

To reiterate, this man is one of the most popular right-wing influencers in the world.

You’ve heard of Ben Shapiro? Asmongold gets five times as many views as him on YouTube.

You’ve heard of Steven Crowder? Asmongold gets more than ten times as many views on a good month.

Even Candace Owens gets fewer views than Asmongold, and she’s on an absolutely stratospheric rise to prominence at the moment.

Dead rat and all – whether any of us like it or not – this is an influential figure in the world.

“Based”

In the video at the top, Disinformation Tracker shows a recent clip from the Embassy of Israel in which a speaker is talking about how they’ve named and shamed “antisemites”. Asmongold suggests they’ve done this through “maliciously edited clips”. He further says that anyone who considers themselves part of the ‘America First’ movement should see their inclusion on such a list as a qualification for office.

For clarity, America First is spearhead by the Nazi Nick Fuentes:

Nick Fuentes explains the main challenge to America First is organized jеwry.

Now that you’re seeing phrases like ‘organised Jewry’ flying around, you’re probably starting to suspect these lads don’t oppose Israel because of the Palestinian genocide. Clearly there is actual antisemitism at play here.

America’s support for Israel has always been based on the US’s interests in the Middle East. Successive Israeli politicians have pushed what they can get away with, however, by influencing Western politicians to support them before their own country:

Of course this would backfire.

Of course people would begin to ask ‘what the fuck is going on here?‘

Tucker Carlson blasted US leaders for letting Israel dictate American policy, saying Netanyahu brags about controlling Trump and the US, and called it humiliating that Americans are being forced into harmful decisions for another country.

Depraved new world

The MAGA movement is clearly coming to an end, because Donald Trump is decomposing before our eyes, and there’s no one who can fill his oddly proportioned shoes:

Everyone on the right knows there will be a vacuum, and to fill it they need to differentiate themselves from their rivals. Becoming anti-Israel is an obvious position to take, because anti-Israel sentiment is now the normal position:

Try as they might, we’re not sure the Zionists can smear Asmongold given that he is essentially a human smear. We’ll call him out if he’s antisemitic, but other than that he’s a problem for Israel’s propagandists to deal with.
