That was honestly really scary how he could barely read.
The words on their own aren't particularly hard, common words with some modifiers i'm sure he uses in daily speech. He just couldn't get past his brain's "first and last letter" processing to read those words.
There's an element of this about him streaming. I remember another streamer talking about how he has to turn his mind off to interact with chat and not get caught up in the information they try to drown him in. This is a bad look for him, but his actual ability would be better than what's being displayed. He may very well be hovering around an average American level (5th grade). If he can normally cope with modifiers like the word ultra or search his mind for words like authority, then he'd sit right there at the top of the bell curve being able to pronounce words but receive no information from them
A product of the education system of the richest country in history
“Literacy” was always the most basic tool of totalitarian propaganda. If you are not literate you can’t be fed communist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-communist I knew in my childhood was my maternal grandfather who was illiterate. Communist propaganda did not reach him.
How many people in the US can't properly read like that? That was kinda sad to watch. Or is he like dyslexic or something?
I have a dyslexic coworker and this reminds me a lot of him. It would not surprise me.
Adin Ross has never been known as being the brightest bulb. You can see him discussing politics with other normal people his own age and even they're more articulate about it than he is
~0:40 Jason Stanley is worth mentioning. He's a Jewish academic on the Holocaust.
A few months ago he said had nice dinners with the Waffen SS.
Lol, the header of the page is the cover of his book "How Fascism Works - The Politics of US vs Them". Kinda bad take by someone who wrote such a book.
While it is true that Germany got a ton of "ex" Nazis in the 80s, it is also true that judging how polite dinner conversation is is bourgeois as fuck. What would a person write about crust punks who have bad table manners? I'd rather go to my next food kitchen and eat with Punks than with grandparents who aren't openly and viciously against Nazis - especially if they were once in the Waffen SS.
Okay, that said I don't know his works, so they might be good, but still strange phrasing.
Kinda bad take by someone who wrote such a book.
I was so mad at him after I saw that tweet that I googled him and I sent him an hostile email to his Yale addy. I titled it something like "You are vile." It had just a few lines of text. I know he might have never seen it. He might have undergraduate assistant deal with his email inbox until things died down. But you never know. Maybe he did see the title and instead of deleting it he opened it and read it.
He has no excuse.
If I had been influential in designing the justice mechanisms in post WW II Europe - I would have tried my damnedest to have as many mass executions of the Waffen SS as possible.
If I had been successful - I know I would be responsible for some "ordinary" Nazis or even ordinary soldiers to die. In a war of that size - chaos will follow and you can never be certain of a multitude of details. But I would have gone ahead with my plan anyway. I'd always feel guilty about the execution of the others. But the only thing to do with evil on that scale is to destroy it.
Jason Stanley (* 12. Oktober 1969 in Syracuse, New York)
So in the 80s he was 11-21. While the people who were in the Waffen SS were 50 years old to pensioners. Don't know about you but I would be hard pressed to judge objectively how a dinner 40 years ago was I had while being 18-21 with people who were 50+ years old at that point in time.
This same guy is going to interview Kanye later this week.

I deeply hope for his own sake that this is a joke. he's going to obliterate his own platform if not.
Hasan is allegedly going to also be there to guide him. But yeah it is real, there's a video of Adin Ross talking on the phone with Nick Fuentes to set it up.
I mean at least that will kill the interview. Kanye will eject himself as soon as he gets even the slightest bit of pushback. my man couldn't tolerate Pim Tool :lenin-laugh:
