Memes

He's a debate streamer that has a very "debate bro" attitude and tends to forego any arguments in favour of memes to make himself look edgy. For example when someone pointed out that the US killed 20% of North Korea's population during the war, he said "we dabbed on them".

Oh, that person was later harassed for days by his followers because she's a "tankie" and they didn't like that she appeared on stream.

He claim_ed_ to be an anarchist and socialist, then I think retracted that to being a liberal. In any case he is not a socialist by any stretch of the word.

On the other hand this has led him to say the stupidest things so that he could build an audience. For example, he used the n-word (full word) in a debate to "disarm" his opponents.

He's been in a lot of controversy; his CP twitter account was found; back when he started streaming, it came out he had been sexually harassing a girl on Discord; he's bros with Charlie Kirk and other far-right anti-communists (but hates anything that sounds too socialist). But really he himself would be fine in the sense that if he was just some weird dude on the corner of youtube, people would just laugh at his videos with 13 views.

The problem is he has a large audience who tend to watch him and only him (and sometimes worship him like an idol), and defend the very real and provable scandals he has committed. They also think of themselves as super informed socialists, when honestly they know nothing about anything. You can disprove their arguments against socialism in one google search, and then they will call you slurs -- they learned from the best.

If I didn't know better, I'd say Vaush was an FBI agent. I don't think he is an FBI agent, simply because I refuse to believe they have let standards fall so bad they would hire him of all people, but their goals both coincide at stopping people from going too far left and redirecting them to the useless Democrats.
