His sister claimed he disliked idpol after he passed, but he always seemed very enthusiastic about Social justice causes outside of the economic sphere. He did complain about ‘Cancel culture’ along with Ben Burgis quite a bit, but I never thought he was a class only type of guy or anything.

God I still can’t believe that Ben Burgis wrote a book called “Canceling Comedians While The World Burns” without a hint of irony

Yeah I remember that. Didn’t even bother reading it, never liked Ben as much as Michael.

You want someone who’s really bad though, take a look at Angela Nagle. I honestly think she was a closet bigot tbf. She wrote a very weird article about Ireland and immigration.

Yeah, Ben’s always sucked. Shortly before Michael passed, I remember there was a Chris Rock clip that started circulating where he said that maybe not all cops are bad, but some jobs that’s not good enough. Like, an airline can’t say “most of our pilots like to land”. Michael brought Ben on and he legit spent 15 minutes explaining that joke word by word, it was excruciating. This has nothing to do with him having chud-light opinions, it’s just my most vivid memory of his appearances on TMBS.
