    Actman won't allow it to happen, unless it's on his terms. He's terrible at talking politics. He knows the ramifications if he doesn't leave the podcast without "owning the chuds" in the room. He'll lose his valuable donors. He only knows surface level arguments, which are all based on what he's used to reading on Reddit... which we all know how Far-Left it has evolved into.
    However, it should be broadcasted every single time he ducks out or refuses to go into an actual debate on the political issues in gaming.
    Content creators like him should know that if you want to talk politics, you have to back it up with facts. He can't keep making video after video "owning chuds" and claiming there isn't a woke agenda, when reality says otherwise.
    Especially if there's dozens to hundreds of videos respectfully fact checking and disagreeing with his point of view. It's free content, just saying. Again, if you want to talk politics, but refuse to engage a debate; you're only confirming you're in a cult.

      People who change like this (from sane to insane left) didn’t. They were lying from the start. Act man seems quite disingenuous, he was only anti she when it was a popular push and he completely hid his own beliefs. Now he goes after the same guys he worked with when they’re the same, and he’s doing it to just gain different followers. It’s part of why he does the “both sides bad” bs. I’ve never seen a honest “both sides” person except for Tim pool because he just didn’t know well yet, and has since changed. Dev was a “both sides” guy and I was wrong to ever believe he was a decent person too. I’d prefer an honest leftist to the ones that wear centrist clothing.

Fact is with Concord its simple observation...people did not play the game ...why ? because they saw it and sure hero shooters have gone down hill but it was obvious that for many they saw the characters and said ...nahh i do not want to play that.

However, there is profit to be made talking about games and media that's "Woke" without directly attacking that very concept. As soon as the pendulum shifts back over to the other side, he'll end his grift soon enough and start defending progressive ideas far more than he originally has.
