I don't know about that, his opinions are some of the dumbest you can find anywhere but I think it's safe to say he's of above average intelligence. Maybe it's some kind of 'on the spectrum' type deal that causes him to be such a contrarian or maybe it's all (or at least a large part of it is) an act, who the fuck knows.
Well yeah narcissism. If you want to be a good contrarian you have to be smart to be effective. Otherwise people can just see right through your non sense. Take a guy like Christopher Hitchens. You may think his opinions on some things are ludicrous but try debating him and you will lose. He doesn't just parrots the opinions of someone who's smarter then him. No he forms his arguments himself and has the intellect and skills to defend them.
Tim Hortons is good if you live in a shithole canadian town with 500 people in it and the only other restaurant is a mcdonalds. Dunkin blows but so does Tim Hortons. Shitty coffee and shitty pre frozen doughnuts.
Here's how I feel about Gavin, from John Updike's review of Camille Paglia's book Sexual Personae:
"[The book] feels less a survey than a curiously ornate harangue. Her percussive style — one short declarative sentence after another — eventually wearies the reader; her diction functions not so much to elicit the secrets of books as to hammer them into submission.... The weary reader longs for the mercy of a qualification, a doubt, a hesitation; there is little sense, in her uncompanionable prose, of exploration occurring before our eyes, of tentative motions of thought reflected in a complex syntax."
That's Gavin- he says smart things some times, but he acts like every sentence is an obvious truth he's giving the listeners, there's never a sense of reluctance or qualification or moderation or doubt. You might so "well who wants to listen to someone be unsure of themselves?" and to that I say, Jimmy and Anthony were always great when they were shitting on something and then shit on themselves for being so sure of their opinion of it- the humbleness and self-deprecation would be entertaining tbh fam
Let's Say he didn't think he should just be contrary and hate everything he used to do and believe. Then he's still just a "wild" guy that settled down. I think he's politics fine and I loved his show "free speech" but he's just not smart enough to form his own opinions and defend them. He just recites republican talking points and people he deems smart.
None of them can tell you honestly why they hate them
Disagreeing or thinking someone's opinions are surely just an act for attention/entertainment isn't hate, that's the same "islamophobia"/"homophobia" school of thought that Gavin himself has railed on. We're not being Gavinphobic by disagreeing. This isn't hate. Who doesn't "get humor"?
I don't even think the things Gavin says about millennials are totally based on falsehoods, I was just making a joke about how we've heard the same one-note rant 20+ times now. I'll watch anything Gavin is on, he's entertaining and he's like a nuclear warhead among dumb lefty regressives, it's truly a treat to watch, but the opinions he either believes or pretends to believe, don't really offer any real solutions.
Do you actually believe this or are you doing "a bit"? Like...surely this must be a parody but Ant's racism has attracted some weird people to our diseased little community so it's hard to tell.
“The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.” ― Socrates
Literally every generation thinks the new generation is shit.
He doesn't even know what millennials do, his ignorance regarding youth culture is massive.
Raver kids do molly and wear thongs in public, ghetto kids sell/do coke and shoot at each other, rich kids are addicted to prescription drugs, douchey "swag" kids are obsessed with dabs and vape pens as well as a general IDGAF philosophy torwards life.
Yeah, there's some dorky no life having kids of this generation, some play far too many games and some romance immature bs well into their adulthood. Same way comic book nerds of the 70s did, same way arcade geeks of the 80s did, and the 90s kids are obsessed with cartoons and internet anti humor. Millenials are following a more evolved version of all the same trends that have always existed, that is what culture does. It repeats itself in higher doses again and again and again, that is how sub-cultures progress.
Maybe Gavin, if he hates the current generation of nerds so much, should stop going out of his way to find evidence of their existance. Black twitter is a fantastic counter-example to every single point dumb Gavin tries to make. Drugs are encouraged, authority dismissed, sex is prioritized and censorship is unwelcome. Look harder.
Is it impossible for ANY generation to be worse than the last because everyone hates the younger gen? Its very provable that the 1920s generati9n were like millenials... WW2 straightened that out... the babyboomers and all generations after have been more and more insulated and coddled. Special Forces and even regular armies in the West have trouble finding people who arnt physically or mentally weak. The British SAS has a big problem with finding able recruits and might lower standards.
I don't think you guys are jealous of Joe and Anthony, just Gavin. He pretty much does what people here do, but for a living. He's a professional shitlord, so the amateur shitlords are jealous and think "why is he on TV, I could be edgier than he is."
