    He kinda reminds me of Cenk Uygur in that way. I’m sure they’re both kind of unpleasant and argumentative people IRL as well, but the difference is that people IRL won’t just willingly engage with your bullshit constantly, and so there’s a natural cutoff. But on the internet, there are infinite idiots to argue with endlessly until your brain is fried.

      Ive actually met Cenk Uygur. He is a lot less confident in person. Like on his videos he tends to talk loudly and has this big personality but in person not so much. I feel like a lot of internet people are like that. In person theyre all shy and soft spoken lol. Just used to screaming at a camera.

        That’s kind of comforting to know. My stepdad watches a lot of TYT at loud volume, so I often have to put up with Cenk and Anna bellowing about current events.
