@CassieAngelica oh wow, you read books? couldn't be me. I'm just a news and educational video junkie - my entry into caring about politics at all was watching the amazing AJE live coverage of the egyptian revolution. that's why egypt's current government is, as I have been known to say, my personal least favourite dictatorship.
sure, any of those other commentators provide more informed commentary on a more relevant selection of topics... and without the hatefulness. fausch has talent for making engaging streaming content (for example destiny is incredibly boring by comparison), but besides him being a total a-hole, the core problem of his content is that he has very little interest in politics and important world news, so he covers that by skimming news pages or wikipedia articles live and interjecting super ignorant commentary (ignorant because he doesn't and never has paid attention off stream due to his lack of interest) to give even more ignorant viewers the impression that he knows things. his political interest is almost entirely limited to american electoral political drama and twitter drama. he used to have a little more interest in politics years ago when he was even more deranged, but he very obviously got bored with it a few years ago already. he's just continuing to superficially engage with news and politics because that functions as a content niche by way of frequently creating strong reactions to his content that he can then milk. plus he enjoys how associating himself with politics makes him feel important or heroic. things he's actually interested in are video games and anime, but if he dropped politics and only made content about entertainment media, likely much of the direct engagement with his content would be lost, and certainly all of the drama engagement would be. he could try to stir s*** up with bad media takes, but I think he would be much more easily ignored in that, and get only a small fraction of the engagement he used to.
some of fausch's biggest hits of ignorance that come to mind are his upload about the 2021 popular uprising in kazakhstan, and the smaller but more hilarious time 5 months ago when he misinterpreted a badly worded tory plan to end the non-deportation policy for undocumented victims of human trafficking in britain to instead be an open government plan to legalise the enslavement of undocumented immigrants, explicitly using the term "slavery". and on that video, I was the only one in the comment section who understood the real issue, or even that fausch made a mistake. xD
