Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company.
Usually it's intentional. Idiots are easy to manipulate, and add tangible power to your political faction.
They'll then redefine what that "good" company is and suddenly have a tribe. That's where pretend isn't so valid.
Did he say anything about people not pretending to be idiots, just being ones naturally, and them attracting even more idiots to follow them?
That's Vaush and his fans.
@@comradekenobi8146 Not to mention they will more easily part with their money.
@@melmelhodgepodge3800 True. Though the left could learn a thing or two from this. We need more manipulative but good-intentioned people if we want to sway the masses to our side.
Vaush: Is it conceivable that someone might lie about their beliefs?
Dankula: Yes
Vaush: Then a useful way to find out if someone is lying would be to use inductive reasoning.
Dankula: Or you could just ask me.
*Guys look its a Patricks wallet meme!*
PERFECT!

I'm glad Vaush decided to wear a snapback to this debate, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell which one was which
LOL
That was kinda clever.
Lmfaoo
Love the green shirt
Hahahaha
You can’t tell me Dankula wasn’t subtly flirting with Vaush throughout this debate.
two bearded dudes having a good time
You could cut the sexual tension with a knife.
Two dudes sitting in a hot tub, 6 feet away from one another. Not gay
*GASPS* DEGENERACY!!
"Flirting with communist ideology" now has a new meaning.
Dankula: I'm a comedian m8
Vaush : yes but it seems as though your fanbase loves to use your jokes as a platform to promote racist ideas, don't you think that this is something you should at least look into?
Dankula: ...I'm a comedian m8
And that's half of the debate for ya
Yeah, that's sort of the impression I was getting.
At least I've got 2 extra hours to do more productive shit now.
Also you'll notice Vaush the person who doesn't hide behind comedy, actually made more jokes than Dankula which is quite embarrassing for Dankula.
How is that his fault?
Dankula : Ask me X mate?
Vaush: I don't care what you think about X
Dankula: Mate Mate ask me about X?
Vaush: Sigh
Theres the other half
Making lazy-ass edgelord "punching down" jokes that can easily be seen as dogwhistling, then going "IT'S JUST A JOKE BRO" when the rhetoric attracts nazis is getting really fucking old.
I used to make edgy jokes and comments with friends. Where the goal was to say things deadpan and laugh at how much you had to be a horrible person to believe this. Found some people online that i thought had the same humour till I realised they weren't joking and noped out of those communities
cannedsnow at least you have a brain and realize how shitty of a person you’d have to be to actually say those things. thank god for that.
This comment is literally the meme: "wait you guys are actually white supremacists? i thought it was a joke."
This is such a strange argument that I keep seeing now. The idea that being around people making edgy jokes is some sort of gateway drug into white nationalism holds no real weight. Using this same logic You could argue that South Park a show on prime time national television for the past 23 years with all it's jew jokes created a whole generation of genuinely anti-Semitic kids who just didn't understand it's a joke. The fact is the vast majority of people who become alt-right do so because they are convinced by arguments not because they heard a jew joke.
yup same thing. now I can't help but advocate for a minority of any kind.
Same, like I'm I'm groups who totally do get that, then there are conservative groups
I’m not a white supremacist. Ask me if I’m a white supremacist, go on, ask me. 😂😂😂
Craig Johnson white supremacists won’t say their white supremacists if they want a platform
Whats Poppin no. But they’ll still say they believe white people are better. It’s not that hard.
@Craig Johnson "lack of racist acts" oh so the racist tweets and other things are a lack of racist acts now? If you have to frame it so inaccurately you might just be wrong
Noticing how no one asked him tbh
You know what everybody else here can't seem to follow directions so I guess I'll have to do it 🙄. Are you a white supremacist?
I've been following Dank for a number of years and his fundamental take on freedom of speech is that you should be able to say whatever you want without being LEGALLY punished for it. There are a few exceptions in regards to incitements to violence and forms of expression that infringe on children's innocence (among other exceptions). As someone who is very familiar with Dank it seems absurd that people actually believe that he's a fascist, nazi or a white supremacist. The beliefs he's preached for years clash so hard with nazism and white supremacy.
Some of the jokes are bad taste, such as the first one Vaush noted, but a lot of his stuff is legitimately, curl over belly laughing, hilarious as well, and seeing things like his very compassionate interview with Chris-Chan, his sympathy for individuals noted in his mad lad stories suggest to me he's not some evil guy to me.
You can argue he is a bit naive, maybe, but I don't get genuine racist vibes from him, he seems to just be a genuine libertarian.
@@Canadish What does it mean to have a "Bad faith" joke though? A joke at the expense of another person? That's just a joke. Vaush in this debate literally conceded that you should be allowed to joke about anybody or anything because that's what comedy is about.
@@shmockette7158 Well hang on there, I said bad taste, which is different to bad faith.
Bad taste is generally crass or crosses a threshold where a joke tips more into unkind or uncomfortable than actually being funny at all.
The best comedians can run it right up to the line, make you THINK they are about to tip over, then subvert your expectations by pivoting around etc.
What I was saying is, Dank someone trips over himself and falls over the line, though I specifically think he does so in good faith.
Bad faith, is generally something you run into more during debate, when someone isn't really engaging with your point or coming in with a different agenda than to discuss the point (they are just promoting themselves etc) and usually unwilling to even entertain the idea of changing their perspective if shown to be wrong etc.
In a joke context, I suppose it would be like making a racist or misogyny joke, just to say racist and misogynistic things without any proper humour behind it.
@@Canadish I know the difference, I just misread your comment. Bad taste is highly subjective though of course but on that topic I absolutely think Vaush was arguing in bad faith here.
Crazy that people think horsefucker here "won the debate" lmao... inb4 ad hominem, its waaaaaay too funny not to mention.
Styxhexenhammer did not debate Vaush in this debate.
Honestly, why should he? Vaush is such a dumbass at debates, that he's not worth Styxhexenhammer's time. Hell, he's not worth anybody's time, not even the comedian Dankula.
This is top tier bait.
Jacob Shinn nice b8 m8
He was scared
Ito if Vaush is such a dumbass debates, then Styxhexenhammer would fine it a breeze to debate him, but he didn’t
ok ngl as a black person its wierd to hear white people say how much they love black people its a lil wierd no hate tho
Who said this & when??
I think it's because Vaush is atttacted to men so he's implying he likes that bbc lol
It's actually a meme about Jesse Lee Peterson
What he means is he loves to use you as a debating tool
Yeah it's offputting
After this debate I came across a white supremacist cope video where they were having a complete meltdown about Count Dankula's opinion on immigration. Half the comments were "what a traitor!" and the other half were "hopefully this is just him memeing" so yeah, you did a real good job with this one Vaush.

Maybe this would have been better if Vaush's stance had not been "you are a white supremacist", but rather "you promote white supremacism"?

I agree... But with the caveat that the refusal to acknowledge the signal boosting of white supremacists in itself is indicative of racist behavior, sooo
He promotes white supremacism because he's a WS.

@@tawdryhepburn4686 Right?!
Now, call me crazy but I like Vaush AND Dankula. Its like how I enjoy both the Dead Kennedys and Agnostic Front. I dont have to agree with Vinnie and them about their politics, but theyre enjoyable to be around and open up for. Theyre nice people and fun to hang out with.
I have a ton of friends who are like Dankula. Tons of friends who are their own versions of Jello Biafra. Somehow we all get along.
I do think some of Dankula's jokes are cringe, but I dont get upset about it. I just dont think Dankula is a smart guy. He really honestly doesnt think about this shit. I cant hold that against him. Its not his fault he's not an intellectual. He's just some dude that got famous for making a really off color video. He's not Lenny Bruce, he's some guy who LIKES Lenny Bruce. His fans, and people who REALLY hate Dankula are cringe to me. I dont know why anyone thinks he thinks through his actions or has a world view or philosophy. Its clear that Dankula is just some dude who talks to people on UA-cam the way drunk punks talk to each other at a bar.

Not that there is anything wrong with that in principle, but it has no place in a political party.
I’m not Sargon, I only joined the same party as him, ran along side him and campaigned for him.
thesatanic6 he campaigned for him, literally endorsing his views and attempting to convince others to put him in a position to make them policy. If he wanted to disavow Sargon and his politics then refusing to attend rallies and canvassing saying this is Carl of Swindon, darling of the online far right, running for a far right party, with far right policies, please vote for him, would be a great way of doing so. Or was that just joking too?

I am pleased with the outcome of this. I don't think the count is racist. I think he doesn't have a whole lot of self responsibility over his comments or his fans. But I think Vaush might have actually got to him on a few things. That's at least how I feel. Good job Vaush!
What do you mean?
Yeah. I'm worried this is one of those cases. Hopefully the guy isn't dumb or spineless enough to fall into that, but his tendency to be like "NO! THIS PERSON IS MY FRIEND SO THEY CAN'T BE A FASCIST TRYING TO RUIN THE GOVERNMENT WHO DESERVES TO GET THEIR ASS BEAT!!" indicates that he's probably not. And even if he is, it seems likely that one day he's gonna look up and see he's completely surrounded by people he claimed to find morally repugnant. My concern is how far is he going to go before he recognized those friends for what they are. I mean, I'm sure Hitler had friends who'd have sworn he was a nice guy.
@@MrYas500 like I'm subbed to dank and I've never once seen him make any content that he had any negative opinions about minorities or whatnot except for the way the UK handles migrants like they are children.

Lololololololol
Because Vaush is a garbage debater xD
NegativeBurn he does tend to debate with garbage people, yep!
This was such a pointless conversation. Did Count Dankula really think he was just going to come on and get asked "are you racist?" to which he could then reply "no" and that would be the end of it?
Tbf the burden of proof lands on vaush, count dankula showed no signs of being an out and out white supremacist, no hate from him just edgy jokes. You can't accuse someone and ask them to disprove it just because they have different ideologies... Especially when such a label is harmful.
Do you understand how the burden of proof works?
Vaush didnt even go that far, it was just him angrily ranting about how totally racist count dankula is for almost three hours. Which i find funny cause from the few of this guys vids ive seen he comes off way more as a closet racist than dankula does. Kind of dude who donates to black charities and then crosses the street to avoid actual black people
Zombie Jesus but how do you disprove this besides saying that these were jokes and I’m not actually racist? It’s pretty much impossible to prove that you aren’t racist on a video call. Even some people who pretend to care about minorities and such are later exposed as really racist.
@@lindensalter6713 It was clear Vaush wanted to bring up some things he said and ask his takes on them and other questions he had for him. Based on his answers Vaush wanted to get a vibe for how this guy actually feels. Instead he refused to answer any questions and demanded that the only question he be asked is "are you racist?" and not willing to answer any other questions that might prove you're not a racist is a pretty compelling sign to me that he is in fact a racist.
Take a shot every time Vaush interrupts dankula

"We're gonna beat the globalists"

@@Ma_ksi 2:15:50
The whole second half of this debate was just gold
I don't think Dankula is bad faith or legitimately right-wing, I just think that he's uninformed/misinformed and it seems he ended up in the pipeline at some point. His logic reminds me of someone who would still think of themselves as a "liberal" without realizing that they're being brainwashed by the right. If he can make the realization that certain behaviours can enable fascism/white supremacy without the person even realizing or the ripple effect that systemic bigotry uses to perpetuate itself, I reckon that it would be possible to win him over. He needs to give up the edgelord shit and take things more seriously first though and I doubt he will.
Yeah, attachment too. Asking someone if they are a racists is merely to enquire as to their BELIEF about what label they use to call themselves, and as with beliefs, they dont need (but the good ones do) any basis in reality or evidence.
The strategy of defence is the same: see r/choosingbeggars or the Kubler Ross model. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance, except some dont ever get there, but go back to DENIAL. It is comfortable after all, and acceptance comes with the heavy price of responsibility. Denial does not.
Seems our Count isnt willing to get uncomfortable or vulnerable to let go of his attachments or addictions. In fact, there is an acronym for motivations... (bad ones) MARIE... Money, Attachment/Addiction.Religion, Ideology and Ego....
*Dankula might not be a literal Nazi but he's 100% right wing. Delusional to pretend otherwise.*
He was just a normal guy who made a joke and was almost imprisoned for it. Which is directly because of the left. There is no "winning" him over. Hes felt the damage the left can do and hes here now trying to stop the left from hurting others in the future.
@@Secular_Scot If Dankula is rightwing so is 90% of the western world.
He did lie a lot about the UK in this, it's so many times I can't mention them all, from Jess Phillip's to police arrests, from Gaelic being a subject you can take in Scottish schools to Tommy Robinsons fascism. I'm not making it up everything he said about the UK was a misrepresentation or a lie. One irony being the UK is actually higher than the USA on freedom indexes.
Personally, I don’t really think Count Dankula is really a white supremacist; he genuinely just strikes me as a cringy edgelord who makes jokes mostly just to trigger people. But he definitely does a terrible job of cultivating a good fanbase, because there are plenty of Nazis and white supremacists in there.
Lucas Chambers Yeah he’s just too dumb to realise what he does
Or not. Who knows

Aye, that was a pretty shite take on Vaush's part haha
@@paddythebartender3361 wonder if vaush ever heard of Hadrian's wall, literally built all along the border because the scots were so unruly
@@wtw1427 that was literally never the reason Hadrian's wall was built. Generally speaking the most common theory is that Rome generally didn't view Scotland as worth it - there was no economic benefit and the geography was a problem so they just didn't bother. Hadrian's wall was most likely to impose customs on people going to Scotland, taxation etc, or another theory is that it was just to project power, as it was painted white and intended to be seen from miles around. As defensive walls go, it's pretty terrible due to it's pitiful height - it was clearly intended to be manned, which you wouldn't do if it was to just "Keep them out.", You'd build it tall. So yeah, the Romans weren't scared of Scotland, they just couldn't be bothered with it.
The Scottish did eventually become part of the United Kingdom though, under the jurisdiction of the English government. Sure they have a parliament but the Crown didn't become a figurehead until way later.
I liked the part where the funny talking man couldn't understand why a racist would intentionally lie about his views.
Ask me! Go on, ask me!
imagine being worried and anxious over racist jokes. lmfao grow a pair
Oh you mean that part between 3:00 and 2:29:52
I liked the part where it didn’t matter what he f*cking said, because if you say “You’re going to lie to me”, in an argument, what is the person supposed to respond with?
You people actually believing that that’s a “gotcha”, is so f*cking telling, that’s so god damn stupid.
kainedamo Well... the difference is you’re equating the state of Israel with Jewish people. He hasn’t done anything to indicate he hates Jews and actively discourages antisemites from engaging with his channel. Dankula refused to engage with whether he’s done the same thing.

Dankula isn’t a white supremacist. But he’s fine with catering to the fans he’s acquired who actually believe that stuff. They make up a big enough part of his audience that he doesn’t want to alienate them on purpose.
If you provide a platform to elevate racist positions you support those racist positions, even if it's not what you inherently believe.
And Joseph Starlin would love vaush
@@notaturnip545 so does that make him the problem, or are the racist people that follow him, the problem? I bet there is some pretty extreme people that follow vaush? Personally I'd rather here both sides of an argument, if what count dankula has to say is so inherently wrong, it should only serve to bolster the arguments of vaush? Maybe it could even change the minds of some racists and help to balance their opinions.
@@migaloo364 so if dankula has ever openly denounced nazism then hes in the clear too? Cause i bet footage of him doing just that would be easy to find lol
@@markwales48 You missed the point. The difference is how its presented. Both Vaush and Dankula allow extremely racist people on their social media, but when Vaush allows it, he denounces them and debates against them. Dankula doesnt do that. Even if we assume that Dankula is never serious with the stuff he posts, he's still in the wrong because he's allowing racists to spread hate and not trying to debate them. Here's a simpler example. If someone watches someone else get murdered and they do nothing to try to stop it, they don't physically try to stop the killer, or even call for help or 911, the guilt of that person's death is on them as well. Inaction can show a person's beliefs just as much as actions do. Yes, the racists commenting on Dankula's pics are the problem but so is Dankula. Jokes are jokes and like Vaush said, theres no way to 100% prove if the person telling them is serious or not, but by not debating the racists in his comments, bottom line, Dankula is giving them a platform.

He genuinely isn't a white supremacist, he is just irresponsibly hanging around with them. Although its still morally aprehenshable, this is a very important distinction to make.
I agree! I actually like Count Dankula but he cozies up with this Alt-Right folks a little too much. Also in the UK there are some stiff punishment for these types of beliefs.So even if he was an alt-right he couldn't admit it or his career would be over.
I kinda sympathise with him though, the whole media turned on him and it was these alt-right pricks who came out to defend him. I think most people in his position would not try to antagonise those defending him, guys whole career would be over if he didn't pander to these nazis.
@@sniperpidgeon7245 being cancelled shouldn't influence anyone's ideals. If it does, the ideals were weak to begin with.
The thing is though, if you give white supremacy a platform you are directly inviting people into that mindset and actively spreading it to thousands of people. That is promoting white supremacy. And the only people who promote white supremacy are white supremacists. Whether you genuinely believe in white supremacy doesn't matter if you're still spreading it. You've already become a mouthpiece for the ideology, and thus are a white supremacist. Anyone who pushes for or acts in favor of racism, is a racist. It's the same with this.

Still can't get over Dankula embarrassing himself trying to join the UKIP party.
I'm from the UK and can't explain how much of a laughing stock he and Carl are.
As a lad who gave up on British politics halfway through Brexit may I ask; who tf are UKIP?
If dankula tried to join, I doubt they are a bright bunch.
I have a friend who knows carl personally and, while he's nice and perfectly fine to be around on a social level, he's a fucking toolbox once he opens his mouth about anything political and behaves like a seven-year-old
Luckily for him Sargon was so obnoxious that he sort of overshadowed Dankula.
His reasoning was so fucking dumb. "I'm tired of being accused of being alt-right, so I'll join this far-right political party! That'll show 'em!"
I supported him when he was prosecuted for the joke, but since then it seems as if he's gone out of his way to do everything he can to make me regret it.
Karl-Erik Vik UKIP is a political party that used to be led by Nigel Farage that has been around for years and just won’t seem to go away. Anti-immigration, anti EU. Basically popularised/pressured the idea of an EU referendum in the public eye. Sargon and Dank (and I think(?) Paul Joseph Watson) basically joined the party to be edgy, probably thinking it would “trigger the SJWs”, except no one actually gave a shit and instead Sargon spent about a month during the general election embarrassing himself as he fought off criticism for saying he “wouldn’t even rape” Jess Phillips. He also basically proved that he isn’t the political big brain he thinks he is, because when he wasn’t dealing with the Jess Phillips criticism, he failed to answer even simple questions on his positions. UKIP was on life support before that, fuck knows where Sargon’s involvement got them.

He's bascially someone who isn't a very funny person so has to go for the easiest juvenile jokes and because the only people who laugh at that are children and right leaning people, it means all his "facts" come from them this causes his position to be informed by that.

. The Relief Theory
. The Incongruity Theory

Is he advocating for dictatorship and suppression of free speech? Because this is the more defining trait of fascism, Fascism was born in contrast to democracy (and Socialism). Being racist doesn't make you a fascist.
Someone from his audience literally posed the geniune question of "shouldn't we have ethnostates for white people" and he doesn't think he's cultivating ethnonationalism in his community.

Bruh 🤦♂️, u dumb af
I love Vaush, I really do. And as a Scottish man Dankula embarrasses me deeply. But Vaush didn't "win" this debate. Dank didn't either, but he's not a white nationalist, so it was impossible for Vaush to win this.
You are 100% correct. Tbh this convo seemed kinda pointless. Also as a fellow Scottish man I too feel deeply embarrassed by that mindless child.
@Foul Gerbil No you're missing the entire point, even if he did say that, it still wouldn't be proof that he's actually a nazi because we can't just take his word. Vaush is trying to show how his actions lead people to conclude that Dankula is a white supremacist.
Yeah, I think he got a big ego boost during the Styx being a coward saga, that he agreed to an impossible debate withouth thinking.
I like Vaush, but all in all he looked pretty bad in the discussion, with his reframing of the debate and his very vague definition of white nationalism, to then shittalking Dankula in the post debate discussion. He was kind of an idiot for accepting such a debate in the first place.
I mean, Vaush acknowledged that he can never actually deduct and prove for sure that Dankula is a white supremacist both in the beginning and in the streams prior to this one. That's why he lead the conversation into discussing Dankula's optics, his edgy content that attracts actual white supremacists and the fact that he isn't willing to do anything to moderate his audience.
Dankula might not be an ethnostater but he definitely enforces ideas of white nationalism in his comedy that basically aligns witj segregation
The issue with Count is that he seems really unwilling to drop the facade of 'jokes' and irony to have a serious conversation. During this debate there were some points where there was a substantial amount of middle ground and reasonable stances on a number of issues, but the amount of fighting tooth and nail to get to that point was such a headache. The capitulation to an audience of actual alt-right types and nazis doesn't help either. At the end of the day I think he's probably an okay dude, his optics and demeanour while capitalizing on the current culture war are just such a struggle to contend with that it's impossible to like him on a personal level.
Sejez Thats not an argument. Also it’s kinda funny coming from someone whose subbed to “ARGH THE FEMINISTS THEIR DUMB” channels with a dash of Alt-right channels.

Inductive reasoning is not working too well for you if you think Aiu is alt right lmao
To be honest he doesn't really seem equipped to have a sincere conversation about a lot of these issues. I wish people would stop holding him up (in positive and negative lights) as some kind of political figure; he's a not particularly bright lad who fell in with some bad types. He's done some harm but he's not a good target, and would be best left to fade into obscurity.
There is no point in engaging honestly with bad faith actors like Vaush. The difference between Count Dankula and Vaush is that Count Dankula admits that he's engaging in these platforms for the lols while Vaush poses as a person arguing in good faith, when he's really just a highly skilled rhetoritician who engages in self masturbatory word salad that serves to fuel his narcissism and enjoys exercising this prowess to declare "victory" over opponents (even other leftists). He constantly bounces back and forth between useless tautologies and vague definitions, and more daring definitions of the same words to weasel his way out of having his own standards applied to him (see the Molyneux debate). This is really just left wing internet blood sports and Vaush is nothing more than a sophist looking to "own" his opponents, not looking for a better understanding of a subject or truth.
The left would be wise to starve this narcissist of attention and not fuel his manipulative behavior.
Am I the only one who actually found the conversation significantly entertaining and interesting?
Like at first they were kind of snappy and condescending of each other but as the discussion went on it got more calm and was just 2 dudes talking about a lot of interesting issues. Kinda don't understand why there's so many dislikes.

@@distantlol you didn’t even spell the insult right! It’s Fascies* you gotta include the S
The most annoying for me, from Vaush was him not knowing much UK politics, every single point Dankula made about UK politics was factually incorrect, it was just all fantasy. And unfortunately he can get away with it as he knows almost all his fans are american and Vaush to so he can lie and lie and not get called out on it. That is why he would constantly pivot to it as it allowed him to lie. As a British person I know every British person would just be confused as nothing he said was even close to any semblance of truth.
So is what he said about the UK police incorrect? Just genuinely curious because it sounds horrible the way dankula describes it, and I'm ignorant to almost everything UK
@@l_is_real1567 yep, the song thing is just not a law and you have to abuse police officer for them to arrest you (now that is a bit harsh I guess) but what he tried to claim was if you swore in the vercinity of a police officer you can get arrested which is utter nonsense. Swear words are much more excepted in British culture than American.

I really wish that someone could actually challenge Count Dankula on what actual policies and laws he is against from Labour and the SNP.
The SNP isn’t far left. They’re left, but they’re a populist party. They’re not going to embrace an extreme political stance. The most extreme stance they have is that most of them support Scottish Independence, and how the fuck is that a partisan issue?
As for Labour, they are most DEFINITELY not far left. Fuck, Scottish Labour sides with the Tories just so they could oust the SNP (they failed to do that, of course). They were willing to throw any semblance of leftism under the bus to maintain the status quo. Labour is rife is Blairite neo-libs and Corbyn is pretty much hated by his own party. So where are these far left extremists running our country?

I don’t think Dankula’s actually a racist. I do think he’s a bit of a grifter and definitelg doesn’t realize the implications of his actions.
@mickor Sex offender..? Explain.
@mickor That doesn't make someone a sex offender.... You're spreading fake news fam.
@mickor Is this a meme
This is what we say about every single influencer who fosters a racist audience.
mickor i dont think you get it. vaush isnt saying he’s a white supremacist on accusations alone. he said he’s a white supremacist based on his actions and affiliation with the alt right. i personally dont think he’s a white supremacist, just a coward whose to afraid to distance himself from the alt right and doesn’t understand the harm he is doing by staying with these people
I've been watching dankula's content for a while. I've been watching since the Nazi Pug stuff in fact. His second channel is more of his straight to the point stuff. I obviously can't know what he ACTUALLY believes. But, I'm pretty certain he isn't a nazi or a white supremacist. He's actively denounced and argued against people like that. I think he's genuinely a free speech advocate who will surround himself with people who agree with that. Kind of an "enemy of enemy..." thing. He's no debater, clearly. The closest political affiliation you could put him in is Libertarian Centrism as far as I've been able to deduce. I'm very left leaning, but do not believe he has any ill intent. He's just a little 2edgy4you and sometimes that can be super funny. But, that's clearly gotten him in trouble and it shouldn't have, at least not legally.
He’s actually against the idea of ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ he just hates authoritarianism and limiting free speech.
if you look at stuff like his video on the sudden inexplicable rise in crime in britain that something needs to be done about and his involvement with ukip it's pretty clear where he stands on immigration for one thing
@@sidarthur8706 I mean, that video was a few years ago, and he's gone more in depth on his opinions regarding immigration and I don't see Nazi. He made it during Brexit so I don't know if having a stance against immigration until they knew what the next step was is something I can exactly blame him for. He's also no longer a part of UKIP. I also think he gets pinned with guilt-by-association a lot. UKIP had members that were openly white supremacists that he openly disagreed with. But, it was the only party that was so pro free speech. It's sort of an enemy-of-my-enemy thing. Maybe not 100% that, but close.
He has done more in my mind to denounce and reject Nazism and White Supremacy than he has to confirm his support of it. Unless he takes a harder stance on an issue that isn't free speech, then maybe we can gleam more from it
Blayne Littleford that's all fair. i wouldn't call him a nazi, i don't think he has a clearly thought out philosophy at all
@@sidarthur8706 a lot of people have no solid thought-out positions, they follow trends. This is most obvious in corporate media where opposite sides simply trade scripts depending on what party is in power, but it happens in indie media too.
Dankula is a comedian but doesn't get punchlines.
He also made less jokes and definitely much less jokes that landed than Vaush who is not a comedian. I'd be embarrassed to call myself a professional comedian and being the less funny person.
We say no to pay to win COPE. Keep doing damage control and posting the same comment over and over again. Vaush is a imbecile.
he himself is a punchline. i certainly find him laughable anyway.
Whole lot of sadbois here upset Vaush is a better comedian and communicator than their boy Dank
Maybe the real punchlines were the Dunkulas we made along the way
Much as I don’t like Dankula when he did the Nazi salute and started reciting the fourteen words at the end was genuinely hilarious.
Anyway the whole ‘it’s just jokes I’m a comedian’ excuse kind of falls apart when you join and try to become an elected representative of a far right political party.
To be fair to him, UKIP were the only party with any free speech provisions in their manifesto so guess that was enough to get him on board. Still not a great move
Ryan Anderson they didn’t until he joined, they were mainly known for their xenophobic anti immigrant rhetoric.
Him joining UKIP was just a joke too! 😉

Worst debate in a long time
If it's an impossible argument, he shouldn't have made the accusation in the first place.
@Quest Tzecai Dankula is a liberal as far as the actual "right" is concerned. Why is it that your and Vaush's perspectives are what we have to go by? This mindset is so flaccid.
It wasnt a debate. It was one person crying "heretic" and the other one refuting the accusation. And you guys are impressed by this pea brain sophistry
@Quest Tzecai He really doesn't though. While it is fair that he has a lot of white supremacists in his audience (because they're fucking stupid and can't tell that has not actually on their side), an intelligent person who has engaged with Dankula's content for more than a couple of videos could tell you he's just an edgy memelord.
By the end, Vaush conceded he doesn't think that Dankula is actually a white supremacist, and he could have worked that out if he'd seen more of Dankula before making the accusation
Vaush was trying so fucking hard to paint Dankula as a racist here and it just didn’t stick.
Nah he absolutely successfully demonstrated his point here. Dankula couldn't engage with Vaush's point that looking at someone's actions can demonstrate underlying biases in a way that answering the question "are you a racist" simply can't.
Of course any person with a shady ideology and more than 10 IQ would simply answer "no" to any question about whether they belong to said shady ideology. That doesn't demonstrate anything. And Dankula knows it because he even says somewhere at the start that actions speak louder than words.
And then it turned out that Dank is not only friends with known fascist Tommy Robinson but also defends him as not being a fascist, yeah, that says all you need to know about him. I even looked up that Lucy Brown case and she's literally a neo-nazi. There's no point in even further analyzing Dank's behavior here. He's either an incredible idiot or he knowingly goes to bat for his fascist buddies.
The funniest part of this debate to me is in the beginning Vaush made a prediction that Dankula would use the “it’s a joke” defense multiple times. Dankula was in fact planning on doing that so he tried to point out that Vaush was making that prediction as a means to discredit the joke defense. Vaush then pointed out that Dankula is preemptively defending his future joke defenses by pointing out that Vaush was preemptively discrediting the joke defense.

I think its because he's a free speech absolutist, so in his mind he's acting as an individual and so are every single one that views his content. While what i've noticed on the left sphere is that every single word you say, you should be held accountable to the fullest extent, especially if you're not left on every single opinion. Vaush is edgy, but he more often then not gets a pass, but if the inverse happened (someone like Dankula) he'd get treated with 0 wiggle room to be edgy. This is what Vaush is starting to understand now when the left is taking potshots at him more often.
Osama bin Obama I agree to an extent. The dichotomy Vausch presents speaks to the ignorance I initially referred to.. but there were multiple moments where I (hope) I saw moments of humility/contemplation of contradictions in action etc. I think vausch is an important voice on the left but no one is infallible and in that spirit I hope this is a growing moment
he knows the impact of his actions, he just doesn't have the spine to admit it.

thesatanic6 he didn’t say that, he said Tommy Robinson advocates for and is trying to enact political positions that present an existential threat to minority groups so to oppose him with violence is self defence. That’s completely compatible with supporting free speech unless you’re A: stupid or B: a fash pretending to be A.
@thesatanic6 so you have provided no argument and just said something you perceived as hypocrisy from Vaush (which isn't an argument against the shit Dankula did) that as points doubt by other commenters is just you not having enough knowledge on the topic and thinking of free speech in a very basic way, like a light switch.

Frankie Boyle is one of the most edgy comedians i am aware of, and yet his audience doesn't foster the edgy plausible deniability xenophobes and white supremacists. I wonder why.
That's because Frankie is actually a comedian, and Dankula isn't
@Craig Catto yes, that's why no one complains
You have no idea about how Frankie Boyle did comedy before he became woke. He mocked black people, disabled people and people dying of cancer.
Frankie Boyle's comedy is so much more nuanced than "what if I said a racist/sexist thing and then chuckled hehe". Of course he relies heavily on shock value but there are also genuine set-ups, and he uses well-established comedy devices like subverting expectations and absurdist imagery. It's clear from the context and the way he tells his jokes that they're almost never a sincere reflection of his beliefs. Also when saying offensive things ironically he draws from a wide pool of bigoted beliefs to satirise, rather than drawing exclusively from Nazi shit like Dankula does.
From what I've seen Dankula's prepared standup shows are a lot better written, and work fine for a middle-of-the-road 'offensive' comedian. It's just the stuff he says on Twitter and in Internet videos that fail to land, because they're basically just racist shit devoid of context.
I’m suddenly reminded of all the times I’ve seen “edgy” professional comedians in interviews literally call out people trying to hide behind “it’s just a joke bro” just to say racist or sexist shit.
36:58 I have to disagree with Vaugh
One of the funniest things I saw in my life was a discussion between 3 racists
Where the spanish and french mocked the portuguese for not being pure blooded, with the portuguese trying to convince them that he was at the same time calling out the spanish one because he was in the same situation(part of Spain was also conquered by Muslims)

Racism just keeps dividing itself, it's their nature. Right now it might seem like they are all united against people of color but once that's settled, it's English against Celts, Germans against Slavs. At some point Italians were not considered "white" to the anglo americans and many Germans think Scandinavians are not "white" but "yellowish".
@@treehugger3615 Isnt that funny?
Most of the time Im pissed with ignorance but when it comes to racism I can only laugh
The cognitive dissonance is part of racism imo and they cant see it😂
Those aren’t races they’re nationalities
@@baptisedindirtysprite3593 Well yes but the same principles still apply
@@baptisedindirtysprite3593 Yeah? Well they don't seem to care when fighting each other. And that's another thing, the line between one ethnic race and another is very blurry. In the end it's all discrimination against each other based on appearance and feelings. What are you going to force everyone to carry a DNA result card all the time?
So to get this straight by his own admission most of his audience aren't racist, and his joke was to annoy all the none racists in his audience. So Dankula an apparent bastian of comedy wrote a "joke" that for most of his audience would not laugh, not smirk at not even do the short breath laugh, but actually get annoyed at.... Now I'm not a professional comedian but I thought the point was to make as many people as possible laugh and of course you'll have haters so tailor comedy that appeals to all/a majority of your fans. But Dankula is saying that he makes jokes only a tiny percentage of his audience will laugh at.... I have to ask is Dankula just this inept at comedy or is he lying to us? I think the answer is yes.
Its almost like your overthhought armchair perspective of comedy isn't the end all & be all of the process, who would've guessed?
@@vinny5638 "Its all memes bro"
Or perhaps you don't get his comedy, do you laugh at every single comedian you watch? Sometimes you say the shit you think is funny and if it bombs, it bombs.
@@osamabinobama4954 so well done at strawmanning my position, is my comment: I didn't laugh so it isn't a joke.... I literally went though how Dankula described it in depth and it shows what he does are barely jokes they don't have punchlines and that is more likely due to him just being a really shit comedian. For example Vaush said more jokes in the debate than Dankula even though Dankula is apparently a professional comedian.
Your reaction here is the punchline and it's actually hilarious.
Freedom of Speech does not guarantee you the right to a platform and audience. Free Speech only protects you from being prosecuted by the government for subversive speech (there are limits of course, the old "yelling fire in a crowded theater" example comes to mind). Privately-owned platforms (Facebook, Twitter, UA-cam, etc) fully reserve the right to moderate your speech within their networks as they see fit. When you create an account on these platforms, you agree to their rules, which are usually laid out in their Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
that´s the problem I have with it and i agree with count more on this point than with vaush. since we live in what is basically a corporatocracy, the terms and conditions can include whatever orwellian shit our corporate owners want to implement. if you want to take any part in public discourse aside from creating an own 90s style blog site with 2 readers of literally screaming on public plazas, you HAVE TO agree to what ever rules the corporate owner class sets up as their ToS. because 4-5 sites are the only ways to participate in 99.9% of public discourse and that system is severely fucked up. whatever free speech right your country guarantees are close to useless if the bar set for speech GLOBALLY is however low or high a couple billionaires and corporate boards want them to be set.
You're being descriptive of the way corporations are generally set up. Free speech isn't descriptive though, it is a prescriptive principle.
It's perfectly valid for there to be a gap between the way things are, and the way things ort to be.
Is YT a platform or a publisher? If it is a platform it is required to comply with the appropriate laws, same as if it is a publisher. Even mass murdering felons have the right to a mobile phone service. This is very confusing. YT, Instagram, Google, Twitter, Facebook etc exist as virtual monopolies. If they band together to ban you, your online life is destroyed.
The UK doesn't even have 'free speech'. It was granted a right to "freedom of expression" by virtue of EU membership, which is basically a very light-touch version of "free speech" and is subservient to pretty much any other fundamental right.
@@videogamenostalgia The UK was a democracy for a long time during which the whole of Europe (Spain, Germany, Italy etc) was ruled by corrupt princes or dictators. The UK has nothing to heed from the EU. Our Parliament has stood for centuries.

@@josephcoolest1839 We all supported Dankula in the pug fiasco. What’s your point?
Ironic part is it looks like Vaush knows absolutely nothing about debating politics yet that is his entire job. A professional debate would have shut his shit down in a heart beat. About 5 minutes or so in matter fact.
It's amazing how many words vaush uses to say literally nothing 😂
Unironic username.
Worse yet, he doesn't even understand half the words he uses. He thinks if it confuses him, it'll confuse his audience. And half the time he's right.

@@CaptainUncreative I actually do he’s saying no matter what the platform both can be harmful. But it’s an idiotic statement nonetheless.
@@Jacketsfan96 nope. He’s saying words in general can promote ideas that can be very dangerous. Regardless of the medium, the ideas behind them are the same. The only difference between the mediums, are their accessibility to the public.
If Hitler was alive in 2020 he would be a SJW on Twitter. He was always the worst humanity ever could be.
I would have embraced his "ask me about my beliefs" line of rhetoric - because while it's true that racists will deny their racism, they generally have a lot of difficulty making affirmative statements AGAINST racism, and pointing out the irrationality of the beliefs. Obviously their response to this is to avoid using the same wording that you have used, and then you can just point out how significant that is lol and do that over and over and over and state that the reason for this is racism, and when they push back against that, ask them over and over for another reason that could fit all the instances, while pointing out that racism fits them perfectly.
Vaush could have also done both. It didn't need to be an either/or situation. He could have engaged with Danks rhetoric and then also used inductive reasoning himself. Would have been better optically, since they now get to pretend Vaush was using sneaky debate tactics.
It's INCREDIBLY EASY to make against racism as a racist. When I was a fuckin NatSoc everyone yaught me HOW TO LIE about it.
The distinction that matters is between the people who accept that "racism" is even a thing and the people who know know well enough to simply live in the world and accept human biodiversity for what it is.
False Feathers that doesn’t make it disingenuous. Whether dankula is racist or not, it’s still true that you can’t know that sort of thing just by asking someone and it’s more reliable to look at their actions. And dankula’s actions are dumb and edgelord-ish enough to seem pretty racist to an outsider
NeoRipshaft no, if someone is genuinely racist they will say so.
"I'm American, you're Scottish, I guess rebelling is in my blood."
Vaush, I love you, but have you ever opened a Scottish history book?
(spoiler alert) they did a loooooot of rebelling against us English. Our national anthem even used to have a line about "crushing rebellious Scots". The last battle ever fought on British soil was the battle of Culloden in 1746, where Bonny Prince Charlie led a group of Jacobite rebels to fight the English army (and was subsequently crushed and had to flee on a boat to the Isle of Skye (which is what the song "Over the Sea to Skye" is about BTW) )
any history teacher would go spare
i think he meant successfully rebelling
I'm pretty sure Vaush said that just to get a rise out of him, if there's one thing Scots are infamous for to the point of it being general knowledge, it's rebellion, mostly because of how popular Braveheart is
@@Nomin130 I mean Scotland literally won their freedom
Am Scottish, can confirm. Don't worry, our (unofficial) national anthem has a line about rebelling against you lot too.
Vaush told me he was such a good debater that he has mass debated hundreds of kids.
Dank's argument about 'Ask me' is silly and useless. Imagine if the FBI had to use that method when investigating suspected criminals - that they were only allowed to directly ask them. Or imagine a court of law where prosecutions are based purely around 'Ask him/her if they're guilty'. Or even in business hiring situations, where you had to rely purely on someone's word for hiring purposes.
Dankula's argument is that the only thing that matters is his words. In some contexts, that might be true, but certainly not in a debate/discussion setting.
This video was about him so obviously he'd say "ask me"
I don't think he has plans to work for the FBI
Your analogy doesn't work because this discussion was entirely about the content of a persons character and beliefs, something that is impossible to deduce empirically. There is no proof. There is at best vague indication. Making absolute statements based on that is disingenuous. Simply asking the man to elaborate on his beliefs is far more useful than making points about his character based on the actions of other individuals.
@@xilon56 That sounds reasonable, but I strongly disagree. I think making points about a person's character based on their actions in comparison to other individuals is generally better than simply asking the person to elaborate on their beliefs, especially if their elaboration doesn't add up (actions speak louder than words, after all). Of course, we ideally want both, which was the entire purpose of this conversation. But if we had to choose just one, I think it's naive to favor a person's word over their broader body of content.
@@xilon56 Did you understand my comment? Because it seems like you didn't, at all. You're literally arguing in support of my point - that you can't deduce someone's beliefs, especially by purely asking them, and so you have to rely on external evidence, reasons, experiences, events, their history and so on, rather than just purely asking them. That's *what anyone does when they want to find out the personality and character traits of a person without having to rely solely on their word* . Again, the hiring manager wants the interviewee to bring a resume for a reason.
Also, you can reasonably tease out someone's character traits by looking at their personal history, actions, etc. That's *how you figure out what characteristics a person has* - through empirical observation. Arguing otherwise would make it impossible to do, for example, biographies. Obviously, you can't prove it in the same way I can construct a first-order logic proof, but you can give enough evidence and reasons to the point where someone arguing contrary would have the burden of proof on their shoulders. By your idea, we wouldn't be able to say anything about what type of person MLK was because he's not around for us to ask. We wouldn't be able to say that Julius Caesar was ambitious.
And "... based on the actions of others." I'm pretty sure this discussion revolved around the actions of Dankula, and it's ignorant to hand wave other people's behaviors in relation to Dankula just because they're other people. That's fallacious, in fact; if I see where some specific car mechanic is consistently getting negative reviews, I'm going to infer that the mechanic might not be the best guy to work on my motorcycle. You might infer otherwise, but I'm not and I'm perfectly reasonable not to.
Jokes aside if i am bieng honest i get the feeling that count dankula isnt really racist just really edgy and likes freedom of edgy jokes
NO SHIT SHERLOCK
Yeah, that's exactly what he is. People like Vaush try to take the most irrelevant people on the internet who just like to make edgy jokes and somehow frame that into an argument that all of society is bigoted and discriminatory. That white supremacy is an actual problem in the most progressive era of human history. No, it's not. As much as you want to change the definition of these words to encompass more individuals, the fact remains that genuine racists and white supremacists are so rare that their existence is inconsequential. There are worse issues in the world to get hung up on than some random neckbeard saying "kids do be good to molest tho".
I also don’t think he’s maliciously racist, he just makes a lot of comments that dog whistle to racists and they seem to *really* like his content and what he says and that’s kinda sus
@claɪre He also hangs out with Communists and Antifa members, so you're also saying that he's communist and a member of Antifa?
Guilt by association?
By the way, comedians usually aren't the one's _doing_ the laughing...
... Just saying
When nobody else laughs, you gotta make the right impression so that they ''get'' it.
Guess you haven't seen danks stand up sessions then.
To be fair, I, for example, am unable to tell jokes properly, because I shit myself out of laughter. I'm a very giggly person and when I think of a gag, it usually makes me laugh...for no external reason, which has to be very alarming to watch, especially after that Joker movie.
So, yeah, can't really fault him for making himself laugh, some people are just like that, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Eh, depends. For some comedians, laughing involuntarily (or seeming to) is sometimes part of their gig, to push the audience to laughing with them.
The issue with the "it's just a joke" argument is Count Dankula literally has no analysis into his motives nor awareness of how they both come across and have consequences.

@@brsinger101 I think most people that are making edgy memes do so because they see the terroristic outlet as being stupid. You also just assume that if someone laughs at a racial joke or an edgy joke that they are a white supremacist.

I seriously hope you are not actually being serious about what you said.
I actually bought Dankulas justifications until 21 minutes in, when he justified using the "despite" racist meme about murder statistics to describe his political position as "just doin it to annoy people" I was super uncomfortable.
“As someone who use to be involved in Antifa unless Trump cries them a terrorist group” that’s ironic with recent events

I just thought it was dumb the rules for this conversation are "I'm going to bring up your actions, draw my own conclusions, and if you disagree with me you're lying." Like what is anyone supposed to do in that situation.
@@wacksonjittemore4013 The argument is that his actions are the actions of a white supremacist. It really does not matter if he acts the way he does because he is ignorant, if he pays lip service to his racist fans for profit, or if he is a white supremacist.
He might not be a white supremacists but he does white supremacy. Count Dunkula keeps harping on this point (as are you) because he cannot actually defend why his content is so appealing to the far right.
"Don't point out racist things I've said or done, ask me about my position on specific topics I choose so I can overtly state a non-racist opinion." Because all racists have all possible racist opinions and always state them explicitly? I would conjecture that this guy is a racist based entirely on his attempts to prove that he isn't.
" I would conjecture that this guy is a racist based entirely on his attempts to prove that he isn't." so in other word, you're going to say he's a racist no matter what he says or does? what should he do or say if he's not a racist?
lookatmepleasesir no, that is not what that means at all, and before that sentence, I explained exactly why his specific approach to proving that he is not a racist strongly indicates that he is.
@@WolfJ I will not be surprised to learn that. But apparently, you will be surprised to learn that many of them are not, and that, "he did not give an explicitly racist response to a question he essentially posed to himself, therefore he is not a racist," is not a valid statement by any stretch of the imagination.
What could he do to demonstrate that he isn't a racist?
This is a month-old comment, so obviously the video is not fresh in my mind. I may need to rewatch it. But when someone says, "I believe you are a racist, because you did or said this racist thing," the way to refute that is to explain why that thing is not racist, not to insist that they basically ask you point blank if you are a racist so you can say, "No. Case closed."
@@WolfJ I think that probably depends on how we're qualifying the term 'racist', and can be something of a self-fulfilling claim. That is, if we set the standard for racism at such an extreme as to only include those who overtly and proudly assert racist positions, then naturally, most who qualify as racist would make such statements.
I would contend that there are a very large number of racists (perhaps the majority, but I don't know) who recognize that being overtly racist is socially unacceptable and instead express it in more subtle ways, like "joking" about it. Granted, in cases like those, it is usually impossible to definitively identify racists, and all we can do, as I believe Vaush stated during this debate, is inductively reason and subjectively assess the likelihood that a person is racist, from indicators and patterns in their speech and behavior.
I guess a more comprehensive version of my original remark, would be that trying to set the standard for racism at explicit, specific racist positions, is an indication that one is concerned that one does qualify as a racist, by any lesser standard.
I agree that was a bad defense, and there are racists that will lie about their actual beliefs, but accusing someone of being racist is quite serious and something that shouldn't be done on such an insubstantial thing as their bad at arguing.
