We've Reached Peak Nazi - Jonathan Pie

I can't stand this guy the moment he blew up after the election with his I TOLD YOU LIBS video
His whole schtick of just ending his actual journalist segment, but bursting with the truth 'he's not allowed to say' after the segment goes back to broadcasting - ugh it's just so hackneyed I'm earnestly shocked people take him seriously at all.
He recently posted a video condemning people condemning Louis CK as well. Full blown moderate centrist this guy

I've said as much on here in the past, and I still believe it to be the case.
That being said, I do think Bolsonaro in Brazil more or less fits the bell.

"Saying everyone who voted leave is a bigot, makes you a bigot" is basically "so much for the tolerant left."
"Calling people nazis should be illegal!"
"Not everybody who believes in free speech like myself is a nazi"
hmmmm
"Not everybody who believes in free speech like myself is a nazi"
hmmmm
"And that's why citizens of Germany have been concerned."
Cuts away to supposed segment end.
"Wait wait" camera spins up again back to journalist.
"Wait I just want to say something here. The Reichstag is just a building. It's property! Nobody was even injured. It's insured. Why are we concerned about a bloody building fire...."

I can't say I'm a fan (I've only seen the occasional vid here and there when shared on social media) but he's far right?
It's at times like this you have to ask yourself if one ever really stops working for Russia Today.

Same here. People on this site are too quick to just label others as a Nazi, when racist cunt is far more applicable.
"I presume we actually lost WWII then."
Yes, nazis did actually lose WWII.
if I dramatically
CONTRAST MY VOCAL VOLUME
and take
OCCASIONAL
pauses to turn to the side or rub my hair
PEOPLE WILL THINK THAT I'M INTELLIGENT
and that I have something to of substance to say.

but really the "calling people a nazi makes you a nazi" schitck is asinine; seemingly these people are fine with waiting until we're in the middle of a literal genocide before they're comfortable talking about what fascism looks like.
Can't watch this video right now (well, probably can, but would rather do so later). How does it stand against the people who insist that people who do racist things shouldn't be called racist because racist is too heavy a word to throw around and also maybe the word is a racial slur for white people?
"Even the Nazis are shouting Nazi at anyone they disagree with, which is a pretty Nazi-like thing to do".
Is it?
I tend to think the Nazi label is overused - there are Nazis but to me often it comes across elevating the significance of asshats so it's fighting the embodiment of evil, and not just disparate, run-of-the-mill sexists, racists, and common bigots.
Trying to make the distinction isn't the pressing issue of our time, however - this seems like an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the Louis CK video.

I was a massive fan of his and even went to one of his live shows but I unsubscribed yesterday.
He started out simply attacking trump and the Tories but slowly went full centrist and now almost exclusively focuses on attacking overly sensitive libs or contentious subjects like 'the gender pay gap isn't actually a real issue'.
Worst was when he went full comedian and decided to start defending count dankula because of getting in trouble about his joke but never seemed to follow up about dank having clear alt right leanings and doing panels with other shits.
Such a shame, as I said I was a big fan but just seeing his BBC videos recommended and how they are all variations of 'this will trigger the libs/the libs are just as bad as the right' was a clear enough sign that this is how he sees him making the most money.

I used to love this guy, he seemed to be the over the top voice we needed to make sense of some of the madness. Now, he gives into the "anti-SJW" crowd, he was always poking at outrage culture but it wasn't until his Louis CK defense video that showed how far off the deep end he's gone.
I'm guessing that last video got him a lot of views and impressions from the right, so that's gonna be his market now.

What effective difference is there in actually being a fool, and merely playing one every single time you are in public?
jonathan pie/whoever the guy behind him is, suggests a no-deal brexit will be better than may's deal. i unsubscribed at that point, which was probably way past the time i should have considering his other shitty views such as those shown in the owen jones' video.
Everyone who is still playing the pedantic game right now while also being very CORNED with free speech on universities is a tool. Here is where the current conservative movement is at (just as a reminder):
I see few of these "classical-liberals" being concerned about word use here.

He's a man who's left wing but is doing a character that is spreading the propaganda of the right? And what exactly does that clarification mean at the end of the day?
I'd caution that Nazi Germany started out as 1% brown shirts and future SS types and 99% mixture of good people, mediocre people and "disparate, run-of-the-mill sexists, racists and common bigots."
It's not Godwin's Law when we're talking about how Nazis beget other Nazis.
Just because someone is an idiot doesn't mean that every opinion they have is wrong. Attack the idea, not the person.
And as would be assumed by my name, I think there's a huge number of labels that are grossly overused to the point that they become almost meaningless. The common misuse of the word fascist drives me nuts.

Someone post the pictures and footage of him being best mates with Tommy Robinson during an alt-right march.
