I don't think CGPGrey had any real political power at any point but okay.

(Ayyy)

even if it was true and he was just a monstrously wealthy removed without political office or special privilege, i'd still want to line him up against a wall with his family and shoot the lot

the pretend part is that they're a modern, civilized democracy

i thought lord broadly describes, you know, lording over something?

France's biggest W

That's a goddamn steal

He had a really bad video defending the British monarchy cuz "muh tourist money". Ignoring French killed their monarchy and still get buckoo tourist bucks.

He also took a Telsa to the "most dangerous road in America" to test out the self driving. Said road was a well paved two lane in Kentucky that's only dangerous cuz it attracts a bunch of motorsports enthusiasts, and he was clearly there at a time where there was hardly anyone there. So yeah the autopilot works okay on bendy well paved roads, Whoopty Doo! Even his fans kinda called him out on that one.

I'm sure he's a perfect pleasant human being but he's clearly a naive tech bro lib who thinks everything would be awesome if le epic science nerds ran everything.

He lib

He made this video uncritically parroting royalist talking points (earning him a well-deserved dunk from skullboy)

apologist for the uk monarchy

Yeah he’s an absolute empty headed turbo lib who regurgitates liberal ideology

Yeah he drives a Tesla

he's cringe and dumb, but not a fascist, so in the top 30% of internet personalities.

A bit late on this, but no one else has mentioned it, he made a pair of videos called "Americapox" where he uses Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel" as his only real source and uses it to talk about how the reason the native Americans were "at the bottom of the tech tree" (paraphrased) was because they didn't have superior European animals and metalsmithing. He basically calls them primitive savages, just using video game terminology.

Jared Diamond's pop history book has come under intense scrutiny by historians, as it claims incredibly racist things like the Incas being too "primitive" to know what an ambush is. He blames this "primitiveness" on their lack of metalworking and domesticated animals, but it is just recycled 19th century rhetoric cleaned up for a late 20th century audience. And Grey used it all completely uncritically.

And when Grey was called out on this terrible source, he did the usual internet shitbag thing of pretend it was all just a prank bro, and people shouldn't take him so seriously. Weirdly enough, he only says this when people call him out, he never tells people who believe his nonsense that he's just messing around.

well, yeah. like any reform, it lasts until the political will to keep it intact remains. given the right circumstances, he'll dissolve parliament too.
