Antisemitic conspiracy theories[edit]
He defended recently a nazi conspiracy theroies supporting Jewish people holded disproporcionate number of banking rulling during the Weimar Republic: https://twitter.com/jewish_activist/status/1481666276636385282?s=20 — Unsigned, by: 2A0C:5A80:380B:1500:2C8F:B287:5E61:B9C6 / talk / contribs
- He didn't. Mostly because that's not the Nazi conspiracy theory (and it's ahistorical to claim otherwise). Jewish people had a disproportionate representation during the Weimar Republic in the financial sector. This is pretty well documented and largely has to do with religious persecution; Christians by and large couldn't do most jobs in the financial sector (due to religious doctrines surrounding lending money) and since finance work is pretty flexible in terms of where you live (it's always needed), Jewish people were largely shunted to do those kinds of jobs since they wouldn't get hired anywhere and it gave them an easy way to move around. The "conspiracy" element isn't "Jewish people were overrepresented in the financial sector"; it was a bunch of other nonsensical anti-semetic crap thrown on top of it. To give you a contrast; it's not a conspiracy theory to point out that most tech CEOs are white guys. It would be a conspiracy to say that they are all secretly plotting to rule over the world. There's an observation and there's a moral judgement. The moral judgement is what turns it from an observation into a conspiracy theory. The entire reason it came up in the first place is because Vaush was trying to prove that you can't fit everything into dialectical materialism; he was debating someone who basically thought having a coherent moral framework was unneeded; Vaush used this to showcase that his logic ("it's okay to rise up against every oppressor") could be used to justify the Holocaust. -- Techpriest (talk) 14:41, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- Disproportionate representation in the Weimar republic was in private banking,
which is focused personal banking for wealthy individuals, not the most influential banking/credit institutions (where they controlled less than 1 percent). I added clarification to this article by BadEmpanada and a historian about it. The Wikipedia page you linked only really gives straight statistics about wealthy people in general in Prussia (which it says were ~24 percent Jewish), but also note it mentions that 80 percent of Jews were urbanites in Germany. This tracks with Jewish populations all around the world and is somewhat more conducive to innovation, forward-thinking, and opportunity (the additional statistic that 8 percent of university students were Jewish tracks with this as well). I elaborated on this principle some at Kevin MacDonald's page. Chillpilled (talk) 04:28, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Disproportionate representation in the Weimar republic was in private banking,
So I go around on a reddit shitposting page...[edit]
... and I find this: https://www.reddit.com/r/shitposting/comments/10lt55c/uh_oh/ . Yes, really. Look, let me be frank with this: it's literally a shitposting page on reddit. Obviously this could be edited for the meme, but what unsettles me are the comments. Specifically, the claims about him being a "horse cock lover" and "age of consent relativizer". Perhaps it's another exaggeration not relevant for the page; but knowing how the weird the Internet is sometimes...

- /r/shitposting is literally just /r/196 for those who were banned from posting there.

- It's a series of jokes based on some of the weird things he likes (big dicks, which horses have, which he likes)/has said in the past (slightly wacky things abt the age of consent, which he reversed, and about CP, which he clarified as an ethical analogy to condemn child slavery). It's a bunch of edgy BS being made about an edgy guy by his edgy fans. --EastM8 (talk) 04:53, 7 July 2023 (UTC) EastM8
Debates[edit]
Recently, Vaush debated several more prominent individuals, including Michael Tracey, Dr. Tomas Bogardis, an epistemologist and linguist/metaphysicist at the Pepperdine University, Alex from Playing With Fire, a redpill and PUA channel, Dr. Debra Soh, and Mike der Maat, a libertarian presidential candidate, which is the second time he's debated a libertarian presidential candidate, the first being Adam Kokesh. I think we would also be remiss not to mention the Professor Flowers debate, in which many ways is the progenitor of much of his drama. It gets pretty heated, but basically he accuses her of being an advocate of white genocide, which she justifies by saying that she would find some way to do it without resorting to internment camps, but ultimately oppressed (specifically Black) people should be able to discuss whatever they want when it comes to removing themselves from their "oppressors" (which she repeatedly affirms is a label that includes all white people living in places like America and South Africa). He got a lot of backlash from this statement, and it started his feud with Noah Samsen. It also led to the debate with Luna Oi and NonCompete, and even started his beef with Kat Blaque, F.D. Signifier and even ContraPoints. — Unsigned, by: EastM8 / talk / contribs --EastM8 (talk) 04:52, 7 July 2023 (UTC)EastM8

Potential re-editing of sexual harassment allegations?[edit]
Regarding the sexual harassment claims that Vaush later apologized for, there's a video by YouTuber EssenceofThought that dissects the apology and gives their explanation why the apology feels insincere and is continuing to victimize: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-RWyFOpwZk
I think people should look through the video, and then potentially take into account regarding that section of the page. — Unsigned, by: Mmoore29 / talk / contribs
Vaush being a PDF file[edit]
There a new evidence that Vaush is a PDF file. He had his porn folder shown in a livestream for a split second. It had porn of underage fictional characters and horses. Keffals tried to defend Vaush, but was eventually backfired. Everybody was talking about it. 🇷🇸 Serbian Arbiter (What would you have your arbiter do?) 21:23, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- It ought be mentioned. The page reads like it was mostly written years ago. Chillpilled (talk) 19:44, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
The Context Video[edit]

Vaush made a video providing context for various controversies and clip chimps. It might be directly relevant for any future edits. IntrepidSkeptic (talk) 20:16, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
