Well, Kraut of all people should know how one can change their mind in the span of a decade.

Kraut (then Kraut & Te i think) was deep into Gamer Gate and Europe's far right, a large chunk of his video's were political commentary. I believe I first learnt of him through the "XY Einzelfall" video by Shaun. One day I read a comment saying Kraut response was pathetic, leading me to a Destiny stream where he defended the map, not believing that all the cases on the map just "magically vanish" under scrutiny. There apparently was a video he made in response too.

E: I just remembered, I actually watched the video itself. I can confidently say it included Kraut saying "Um actually, your definition of Arson only mostly correct" with the difference not mattering, and that the smoke in one of the cooking fires was not just a bit of smoke, but severe. Pathetic response indeed.

You can no longer find the stream or video, the only hint being this reddit post, with one comment mentioning Kraut was on the stream. Kraut rebranded himself and deleted his past videos in the process. This is just hearsay, but I heard he was attacked really hard by the far right after attacking their own for pedophillia. He left political commentary and made history videos instead, though there are still hints of Islamophobia and Racism in his videos, or common jokes just earn more criticism because of his past. I can't say, I don't watch them. However he definitely isn't nearly as much right as he used to be.

Oh wow, I had no idea about the XY incident map. It certainly seems compelling on first glance.

I guess he got swept up in some shared hysteria at the time, went along with it, and then realised which group he was getting swepped up with, and backtracked, cutting ties.
