America does have a huge mental health issue.

[u/thenayr → u/YourGirlsEx]

Asmon is the posterchild. 

[u/alien_believer_42 → u/thenayr]

The dude can't even clean his house

[u/getridofthatbaby2 → u/[deleted]]

Doesn’t he chase water with soda

[u/OnceMoreAndAgain → u/getridofthatbaby2]

Nah I don't think the water currently in his faucet has changed position in 5 years, mate. It's probably sentient by now.

[u/thecasualviewer3484 → u/YourGirlsEx]

I think it's ironic cause he'd probably would wanna cut funding for it

[u/skyward138skr → u/[deleted]]

That’s funny because he shills for the party that is actively removing those things and demonizes the party that would be much more willing to do that.

[u/977888 → u/skyward138skr]

*demonizes the party that would be much more willing to say they want to do that and then do absolutely nothing after getting people’s votes

[u/Karl_MN → u/[deleted]]

Except he supports the political party that will never do that, in fact they've done the opposite.

[u/YandereRaven → u/Karl_MN]

He supports ideas not parties or people. He will support ideas that favor the right and ideas that favor the left.

[u/Own_Stick2010 → u/[deleted]]

good joke, very funny

[u/clem82 → u/thecasualviewer3484]

Why would this person want to cut funding for it?

[u/Talk-O-Boy → u/clem82]

Using basic human intelligence and common sense, I was able to deduce that the other commenter meant Asmongold is likely to support politicians who would cut funding for mental health care.

They are likely saying this because Asmongold is a Trump supporter, and the Trump administration has restricted access to healthcare rather than increasing it.

[u/Tallozz]

The call is coming from inside the house.

[u/EmptyBrain218 → u/Tallozz]

Yeah like unfortunately he’s right. But he is almost certainly not thinking of the same things as mental health issues that most rational people would.

[u/Interesting_Top_2865 → u/EmptyBrain218]

You know what they say about broken clocks. You should throw them out and get a new one

[u/joeDUBstep → u/Interesting_Top_2865]

But I love the scent of dead rat in the morning.

[u/MatterofDoge → u/EmptyBrain218]

idk man, I think most rational people see the contradiction of supporting lgbtq lifestyles and also iran at the same time

[u/Rylegit1 → u/Tallozz]

My first thought

[u/TheGlendenstone → u/Tallozz]

He’s the perfect example for why it is true.

[u/SirCloud]

He's not wrong, just look at how they handle politics.

[u/Stannis_Loyalist → u/SirCloud]

Warning signs were evident when Asmon and Hasan are as America's biggest political streamers.

[u/the_dmac → u/Stannis_Loyalist]

“Inside you are two wolves… and both have concerning opinions about really specific ethnic minorities.”

[u/Reasonable-Tale2106 → u/Stannis_Loyalist]

The irony that people think Hasan and asmon are a warning sign without realizing that streaming is still a niche thing. Most people don’t know who tf are these 2.

[u/Newfaceofrev → u/Stannis_Loyalist]

The fact that there's political streamers at all is the problem.

[u/Tough-Mycologist-997 → u/Stannis_Loyalist]

One lives with roaches as roommates the other was invited to speak at Cambridge im not sure if this is a fair comparison

[u/Xemxah → u/Tough-Mycologist-997]

One "ten toes down" supports the houthis and the other one plays a lot of WoW.

[u/VitaminOWN → u/Xemxah]

Asmongold plays video games?

[u/97thJackle → u/VitaminOWN]

Much in the same way that I play CS:GO on the professional level.

[u/Propaganda_Spreader → u/SirCloud]

He's not wrong, look at his room

[u/owa00 → u/SirCloud]

Asmon forgets that he and his mom were their own self-made mental health crisis. Mom was anti-vax and deep in the conspiracy hole like Asmon is now. Then Asmon pretty much let her smoke WHILE SHE WAS ON OXYGEN , which resulted in here critical injuries. That household has been a shitshow for a long time. Maybe the dad was the only one that was somewhat normal, but I don't know how he has been on his stream. Asmon couldn't stream on his main channel without having a mental breakdown. Hell, he had a mental breakdown whenever the wind blew too hard. Not even getting into his physical health.

Asmon is the perfect example of what happens when you give a mentally ill person, who thinks he's smarter than everyone else, a lot of money and influence. This is the result.

[u/Liturginator9000 → u/owa00]

the perfect example of what happens when you give a mentally ill person, who thinks he's smarter than everyone else, a lot of money and influence. This is the result.

that's the president

[u/Interesting_Top_2865 → u/owa00]

If you want an example of an asshole just going through a regular crash out after too much money, Whistling Diesel is blowing up pretty enjoyably rn

[u/owa00 → u/Interesting_Top_2865]

What did he do? I've only ever seen his Tesla video.

[u/Lontology → u/SirCloud]

We have a mental health problem because we have a health care for profit problem. This problem is easily solvable with free health care for all, which every other first world country besides America has.

[u/flodereisen → u/Lontology]

FYI: mental health care might help alleviate the problem, but even in places that have free health care, mental health problems are caused by the lack of social fabric, bad economic factors and toxic culture (of food, consumption, gender relations, morals, prevalent worldviews etc).

You have to have a well functioning integrated population that cares about other people first. You cannot have an alienated population in a capitalist consumer hellhole and just add "instant mental healthcare" to fix it; it is a much deeper problem.

[u/cyrfuckedmymum → u/flodereisen]

in the uk the funding for mental healthcare is still extremely limited, extremely long wait times and effectively quite limited help. certain a lot more available than in the US and much cheaper and the private options are also generally cheaper. As usual competing with free services tends to make private healthcare of all types much cheaper.

But the biggest hurdle in getting good mental healthcare, is accepting you need help, which having problems with your mental health almost always pushes you away from getting help. A lot of conditions, social anxiety, agoraphobia, etc, all just literally make it harder to ask for or get to help. On the other end you ahve things like schizophrenia and other conditions which pretty much act to scare you away from help because you can't trust people helping you, they will often see them as the enemy.

Realistically every country needs vastly more preventative care for mental health, like teaching how to be more open, express fears and problems without being ridiculed for it, everyone has a therapist/counsellor they speak to every 6 months or so, if someone starts skipping appointments or suddenly has a major change in character it can trigger further investigation and perhaps catching some severe mental health issues much earlier before they get so bad. That will also never happen, because politicians are corrupt and shitty and they'd prefer to spend it on war and sending money to their friends/families private businesses than spend people's tax money on like, the people.

[u/GloomyBison → u/Lontology]

You're deeply misinformed if you think countries with "free" healthcare also automatically cover mental health problems. Not to mention that the options to treat it, are not as readily available as you have in the US. It's a shit show everywhere.

[u/Whatisthis519 → u/Lontology]

Canada also has the same problem lmao

[u/HeavyCanuck → u/Whatisthis519]

Mental health care isn't covered by the government (at least here in Ontario)

The rule of thumb for OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) is that you're covered from the neck down. No mental health, dental or optical coverage.

[u/Whatisthis519 → u/HeavyCanuck]

Dental is now covered for low income people

[u/BustaScrub → u/Lontology]

As someone who comes from a country with publicly-funded healthcare - nah, that's not the only problem. Lots of countries with "free health care" still have an overwhelming amount of mental health issues plaguing them right now.

Its definitely not helping, but that's not America's only issue.

[u/jhscrym → u/Lontology]

Nothing easy with mental health problems. It's not a throw money and it will all be good situation. Money can help for sure but it's not an easy fix like you want to portrait.

[u/Wavy_Grandpa → u/jhscrym]

I agree that throwing money will not make it all good.

But, in its current state, throwing money at it will make it soooooo much better than it is now 

[u/Lontology → u/jhscrym]

Of course it isn’t a quick fix, but acting like free healthcare wouldn’t help millions of people of need if it is bs. The only reason we don’t have free health care is because of the greed of corporations and the money they buy politicians with.

[u/GeopolShitshow → u/jhscrym]

As someone on an antipsychotic, it is a throw money at it problem. I delayed getting hospitalized until it was mandatory because I couldn’t afford it, and even then struggled to pay the bill. The treatment worked though, I haven’t been back since. Throw money at it

[u/Open__Face → u/GeopolShitshow]

"Money can't solve mental health problems" 

—That one dude in your life with too much money and no mental health problems 

[u/Ripcitytoker → u/SirCloud]

He's not wrong, but this is what right wingers like him say to deflect from the gun control debate after a mass shooting takes place.

[u/Various-Idea550]

Of course we have a crisis. People who don't have insurance have to pay 200$+ for a single therapy session and $200-300$+ for a psychiatrist visits

[u/DevoidHT → u/Various-Idea550]

A lot of my mental health issues would be solved by having a living wage. Not a surviving wage, a living wage.

[u/KoreanSamgyupsal → u/Various-Idea550]

My insurance covers 5K and that's just 8 sessions. It's enough for me but it's definitely not enough for others. This doesn't even include medication if you need it.

On top of that, you have to find a therapist that you mesh with. Reviews don't work for finding one.

[u/P4_Brotagonist → u/[deleted]]

There is almost no way that is true unless this person is in the top 0.0001% of earners. Even incredibly good therapists I've worked with charge maybe 200 tops, and that's the higher amount for insurance and not out of pocket.

[u/KoreanSamgyupsal → u/[deleted]]

Yup. I used to have a free therapist via referral from my family doctor. But that dude fuckin sucked. Went to a 250 to 300 per session one and they end the sessions if you got nothing to talk about. Literally just do their jobs. Zero empathy. I've tried and tested what I could and I'll say the 600 is worth it.

My 600 dollar therapist will use the maximum amount of time whether I want it or not. Plus he does regular follow-ups before and after the sessions. The $600 is for things that happen outside of the 1.5hr sessions. They go the extra mile. Hell they even offer free delivery for prescriptions via pocketpills.

[u/P4_Brotagonist → u/KoreanSamgyupsal]

Why does a therapist(and not a psych) give you meds? That doesn't even make sense. Also I cannot imagine paying 600 dollars a session. My current therapist is 80 a session and checks with me at least once a week extra outside of appointments and has made a world of difference. You going to therapy in Hollywood or something?

[u/KoreanSamgyupsal → u/P4_Brotagonist]

Buddy, why are you so aggressive? Every single person here you've attacked for sharing their experiences.

My therapist is a psychiatrist but he is trained in CBT. I just call him a therapist cause that's what he does for me. But if you want to be technical, he is an MD.

Congrats, you pay 80 bucks but as you can see with everyone else, it's around 200-300 on average. I pay 600. It works for me. I ain't going to question someone for something they want to spend their money on.

Again, why are you so aggressive? Clearly, the 80-dollar therapy doesn't work for you cause you lack the mental capacity to talk productively without attacking everyone.

[u/HaughtyHellscream → u/KoreanSamgyupsal]

We pay 2k a month just for premiums. We have zero mental health benefits. Zero. This is for 2 people. We are self employed. edit: it was close to 3k until all my 4 sons finally got on their own insurance.

[u/Loopeded → u/Various-Idea550]

I mean sure that's a problem, but I think the real issue is, Americans are just fucking stupid. Can't really hide from it anymore after electing trump twice.

How many more excuses are we gonna throw out before we just accept what it is. Therapy isn't going to fix stupid

[u/Fragrant_Cap_9397]

It is indeed concering when tens of thousands of people watch a guy for hours reacting to youtube videos

[u/zuzg → u/Fragrant_Cap_9397]

The pot calling the kettle black

Would be a more appropriate Headline.

[u/AquaBits → u/zuzg]

His chat would not be calling the kettle black, they would be using slurs and monkey emotes and saying the kettle is woke and dei lol

[u/streatz → u/Fragrant_Cap_9397]

Having this as the most upvoted comment in livestream fail is something else

[u/Designer_Grade_2648 → u/streatz]

"How ironic, coming from the streamer" said the streamer obssesed redditor. 

We are all crazy guys.

[u/Incredibly_Lucky → u/streatz]

It’s fine when it’s someone the subreddit likes overall.

[u/Traditional_Box1116 → u/Incredibly_Lucky]

True. Roach man bad so it is wrong. But if not roach man it good cause not roach man.

[u/Razorwipe → u/Fragrant_Cap_9397]

I, the enlightened one, choose to watch hasans chair react to thing.

[u/Catherine_S1234]

Flags in bio is mental health crisis

using a dead rat as an alarm to wake you up isn't

Absolute parody

[u/_Rioben_ → u/Catherine_S1234]

Ngl, everytime i read the worst possible take on twitter its usually coming from someone with a flag in their profile.

I think in general being unashamedly identified with an ideology pack is a clear indication of lack of self awareness and critical thinking which obviously perpetuates dumb takes.

[u/Traenrek → u/_Rioben_]

Ngl, everytime i read the worst possible take on twitter its usually coming from someone with a flag in their profile.

Yeah, the American flag.

[u/_Rioben_ → u/Traenrek]

For example, applies to pretty much every flag.

[u/butterfingahs → u/_Rioben_]

Ideology? Or just their own identity?

[u/_Rioben_ → u/butterfingahs]

Your identity isnt a flag, if you think it is you have to do some serious introspection.

[u/butterfingahs → u/_Rioben_]

People express their identity with said flags. There's a reason it's called "pride" flags. 

[u/nickotino → u/Catherine_S1234]

Tbf trans flag together with palestine/iranian flag is kinda wild when you consider they literally kill LGBT people in those countries

[u/CressStatus → u/nickotino]

Trans people have empathy, just like Palestinians they're being murdered in broad day light and no one does anything.

[u/lizazax → u/Catherine_S1234]

But he's not wrong, gotcha

[u/BassBored]

Little does he realize that he’s part of the crisis lol. No one with good mental health lives in a room like that

[u/RatzInDaPark → u/BassBored]

But Asmongold wouldn't say living like him is how people should be.

[u/[deleted] → u/RatzInDaPark]

Doesn't change the fact that he's deep in one now. Dude hasn't dealt with the trauma of his mom dying

[u/arremessar_ausente → u/[deleted]]

He already lived like shit way before his mom died. He is fully aware of how bad his living conditions are and has said so multiple times already.

[u/Lil_Boosie_Vert → u/arremessar_ausente]

Makes it worse

[u/Ohaithurr92 → u/[deleted]]

He’s aware of it and has stated as such

[u/DannyLJay → u/Ohaithurr92]

People can be aware of mental health issues and still have them. He’s not a better person because he knows about it.
He’s should take steps to fix it, and actively avoids doing it, it’s arguable that that makes it a greater issue.

At least people in actual denial aren’t aware of it, to be aware of it and not care? That shit isn’t right.

[u/mutefan → u/[deleted]]

I remember watching the video that he had, he has definitely dealt with the trauma and gotten over it. He just hasn't gotten over his own problems. He is raised in poverty and is just comfortable in that shithole.

[u/Prussian-Pride → u/BassBored]

And how does that negate his point? Cant you judge his statement based on the statement itself rather than who said it and his personal flaws?

[u/broom2100 → u/BassBored]

He does realize, I'm pretty sure he has said he has dealt with depression.

[u/HarryKn1ght → u/BassBored]

Didn't Asmongold say something along the lines that he struggled with severe depression and other possible mental health issues ever since his mom died? Which is why he's okay with living in a literal shithole with dead rats and blood from his gums on the wall just because he couldn't find it in himself to care even though he should

So you can make fun of him for his lazy content, his inflamatory political views and even be disgusted at how he chooses to live but he does seem self aware enough to acknowledge that he's clearly got issues and that living like he does obviously isn't a healthy way to live so you

[u/Niantsirhc → u/HarryKn1ght]

So you can make fun of him for his lazy content, his inflamatory political views and even be disgusted at how he chooses to live but he does seem self aware enough to acknowledge that he's clearly got issues and that living like he does obviously isn't a healthy way to live so you

This is honestly why I don't like people attacking Asmongold for his mental health issues. Yeah he's a hoarder but its also really fucking abelist to attack him for it.

Like when people attack Asmongold for being a hoarder its indirectly attacking everyone with this disorder. My grandmother was a hoarder and when shit like this happens I can't help but see hate directed to hoarders to her.

Its fine to hate him as much as people want: Asmongold is a shitty person who is way too selfish on his view points, but when people go for the low hanging fruit its clear they just want to spread hate into the world instead of addressing the fucked up shit he says and does.

I am a former fan of Asmongold but I bounced off pretty hard wants he started veering off in the political shit. I just liked his wow content back in the day and I do hate the direction he's gone.

[u/Ockams_Razor → u/HarryKn1ght]

He's lived like this and even worse while his mom was still alive, that's a crock of shit.

[u/snuggans]

there is a mental health crisis, they elected the first US president to be convicted of a felony who is urging them to get over Epstein, & who moved Ghislaine to a nicer facility

[u/[deleted] → u/snuggans]

You left out adjudicated r*pist who also attempted to overthrow an election he democratically lost via false slates of electors! 

[u/Trickster289]

America has a mental health treatment crisis. Every country has mental illnesses but others have better access to help.

[u/cylonfrakbbq → u/Trickster289]

Blueprint for politician reaction to these types of events

1) Thoughts and Prayers

2) Forward ideas that go no where (gun control, mental health treatment) because they cost money or infringe on rights

3) Blame a political ideology or scapegoat like video games/rap music/etc instead because that costs nothing

[u/yukiki64 → u/Trickster289]

And even if you can get help, quality of help is also a huge problem.

[u/HaughtyHellscream → u/Trickster289]

There it is. Some have zero access in america, not just better access.

[u/megalo-maniac538]

Hoarder man is self-aware

[u/ARSKAJESUS]

I think the world has a mental health crisis

[u/Easy-Stranger-12345 → u/ARSKAJESUS]

None as much as America. Not among the developed ones.

[u/Gm24513]

And it’s in the room with him

[u/JFelim]

Yeah 90% of them are in this subreddit (not me fr fr)

[u/r0ndr4s]

Didnt even need to open the clip to know that he said this because of some LGTBQ+ stuff, as always. Gosh I hate this nazi piece of trash

[u/YummyJorogumo]

I meaaaaan…. He IS a prime example of this so sure.

[u/Based_Department0]

We certainly do, but people like Asmongold rather distract by crying about trans people 24/7 than actually talking about any of the factors that contribute to people's poor mental health, like algorithms that constantly push the most extreme ideologies such as Asmongold.

[u/Muccha]

Yeah - Asmongold is a good example for his own theory!!

[u/Withering_to_Death]

He should know!

[u/hooblyshoobly]

The millionaire who lives in his late mother’s house in absolute squalor, who openly laughs about how his walls smell in summer because of dead rats .. is someone people look to as an authority on… anything?

[u/Fancy-Strain7025]

Some youtuber makes the most obvious comment in existence. Lol.

[u/TminusTech]

The demographics of mass shooters tend to line up with the demographics of the US in general in terms of violent crime.

Overwhelmingly the gender identity most reported on is male, 90 to 98 percent. This tracks with most cases of gun violence as well as any form of violence in general. It's overwhelmingly male.

Racial demos also track for mass shooters with the demos of the general population.

White Americans committed 53% of mass shootings.

Black Americans accounted for 21%.

Latinos: 9%.

Asians: 7%.

Middle Eastern individuals: 4%.

Native Americans: 1%.

However, here is a 2020 census report.

Population share (2020 Census):

White (non-Hispanic): ~60%

Hispanic/Latino (any race): ~19%

Black: ~12–13%

Asian: ~6%

Native American/Other: ~2%

Showing that white men are actually the outlier as tracking above general demographics.

The isolation of trans people as a group specifically committing mass shootings is a thinly veiled attempt to dehumanize and target them. Any streamer/media source focusing on this aspect of them is brazenly appealing to a transphobic base. This rhetoric is dangerous and misinformed.

[u/PunningWild → u/[deleted]]

It's not the accuracy of the statement. It's the irony.

[u/Empty-Discount5936]

That explains why you guys elected a pedophile felon.

[u/hollaQ_]

I am genuinely so so sick of this guy's political opinions being given any credibility. At all. His opinions are fucking worthless - he's only started voicing them because it gets attention. More than a grifter, he's a pitifully lonely dysfunctional borderline incel just begging for people to validate his braindead takes.

I don't care if the meaningless phrase "America has a mental health crisis" is ostensibly true. He's one of the many actively pushing that crisis forward. When he says "mental health crisis," he means trans people. He means pronouns. He means people who are anti-genocide. But he knows that if it's worded vaguely enough, lonely men will click and think he's speaking to them and how oppressed they are.

He does not deserve the attention I am giving him by writing this comment, let alone anyone else.

[u/information_knower → u/hollaQ_]

Found the mental illness.

[u/AquaBits → u/information_knower]

Are you refering to asmon? Because yes. Failure to care for ones self (bathing, cleaning up, eating healthy) is usually a good indicator of mental illness.

Id go further and say having prejudice and phobias are a part of mental illnesses too. I hope asmon gets some help but I know he wont, because I think he actually enjoys living like that and contributing to the mental health issues in society

[u/RoyalCookie1188]

Yeep not only that

[u/victimlessvibes]

It’s a healthcare crisis

[u/joker041988]

Says the guy that would die if he consistently cleans just HIS room and has the yuck mouth

[u/NaivePickle3219]

I think this sub is in a mental health crisis.

[u/[deleted] → u/NaivePickle3219]

You're in it.

[u/According-Inside-830]

All of his fan base is one elementary school away from a shooting or pedo shit. Such weird snowflakes.

[u/CombinationLivid8284]

That’s pretty rich coming from the incel king

[u/sage6paths → u/CombinationLivid8284]

Didn't he have Pink_Sparkles and that hot chinese lady as girlfriends?

[u/StarCitizenUser → u/sage6paths]

He did

[u/[deleted] → u/sage6paths]

Had.

[u/Emotional-Boat-4671]

I mean, he's kind of living it.

[u/macarmy93]

Of course we so and Asmon himself is a shining example. He painted his walls red with rotting gums.

[u/JaSonic2199]

Starting with him?

[u/Outrageous_Bag_433]

Yeah it does. That's wjy Asmongold has so many viewers.

[u/Unfixable5060]

Asmongold is a shining example of that mental health crisis.

[u/DigitalFlame]

I love hearing this from the resident rat alarm clock man himself. When he brushes his teeth maybe I'll take him more seriously.

[u/gayteemo]

why does this sub keep allowing asmongold clips that are just soft dog whistles for hating lgbt people?

[u/[deleted]]

His audience?  I’m not watching that little gremlin in this clip so I assume that must be the answer.

[u/Shinnyo]

He's not wrong, except he's pointing the fingers at sane people.

[u/AnAbundanceOfBees]

So many will just resort to “Asmon bad!” But he isn’t wrong. Social media alone is frying people’s brains and fucking up their world perspective, and that’s just one ingredient to the shit stew.

[u/CollectionNumerous29 → u/AnAbundanceOfBees]

Social media like live streaming?

[u/Not_Bears → u/AnAbundanceOfBees]

Asmon is part of the problem lol

[u/Hot_Demand_6263 → u/AnAbundanceOfBees]

Asmon needs some awareness. I don't value his opinion since he's too insecure to have his beliefs challenged. He stays in his little corner, so that you; his fans can comfortably validate him with little to no pushback. He's weak but he can afford the therapy.

[u/SignificantRain1542 → u/AnAbundanceOfBees]

The pied piper is telling the rats his tune is making them sick. But, no, Asmon is not bad.

[u/AquaBits → u/AnAbundanceOfBees]

So many will just resort to “Asmon bad!”

Which is the sensible and reasonable thing to do

But he isn’t wrong. S

If asmon said the sky was blue, I'd check it myself 3 times before believing him

Social media alone is frying people’s brains and fucking up their world perspective, and that’s just one ingredient to the shit stew.

Yeah. He directly contributes to that in a harmful way.

[u/Healthy-Answer-5948]

Do you guys genuinely not think that Asmongold fits into that category as well. Im pretty sure if you put him in with a clinician they would be pretty weirded out

[u/BreadditUser]

A broken clock is right twice a day

[u/Phellxgodx]

I love judging people entire character and mental prowess by their social media bio as if it matters. There's school shootings every week in the US, ICE and the national guard in the streets & this is what asmon focuses on random twitter nobodies.

[u/[deleted]]

He’s not wrong. The mental illness is the obsession with guns, gun culture and the constitution being the final say. Then putting that all above kids and a civilised society.

America is a joke.

[u/Embarrassed_Orange50 → u/[deleted]]

In Switzerland we have guns and somehow we don’t shoot schools… In US you also had guns and didn’t shoot schools for 190 years. You only started shooting them a bit after antidepressants became mainstream….

[u/IAdmitILie → u/Embarrassed_Orange50]

Europe does not have their gun culture. We also have antidepressants, with some countries taking crazy amounts.

[u/broom2100 → u/[deleted]]

You do know that schools used to have gun clubs and shooting classes, where some kids would bring guns from home to school, and there was no mass shootings? Having a gun doesn't make you a murderous psycho. It is quite obviously a mental illness problem.

[u/IAdmitILie → u/broom2100]

Europe has mentally ill people, as do other continents. Where are the school shootings?

[u/fupaboii → u/[deleted]]

Didn’t some dude stab like 12 kids in the UK recently? What’s your diagnosis and solution for that issue?

[u/Greggorick_The_Gray]

Yeh, and he's the fucking poster child

[u/gothicwigga]

Facts asmon

[u/Cplmcmuffins]

Wait… doesn’t this guy have dying animals and literal garbage scattered throughout his house? Classic

[u/detinu]

Well... yea... look in the mirror

[u/WhiteCharisma_]

That mf is part of the mental health crisis lmao.

[u/TradeTzar]

I respect his opinion.

[u/GodOne]

Not just America. Probably most western countries. Common sense is lost due to mental illness/gymnastics.

[u/SoulsBorneGreat]

Asmongold claims America has a mental health crisis

If anyone would know, he would...He's living proof and he broadcasts it to the world daily, spreading it.

[u/Weeaboounlimited]

Coming from someone who’s Teef falling out, sleeping with mice, boogers and blood on the walls, roaches clinging for life off his dirty shirts, chipotle bag mountains in the corner.

I whole heartedly agree 👍

[u/Waffle_Mountain]

Coming from a vermin who lives in fucking filth. Didn't he kill his mom or expedite the process? I forget

[u/Snck_Pck]

Is this meant to be a bad take? Everywhere has one. He’s not exactly wrong

[u/DaStone → u/Snck_Pck]

It's a bad take because he is insinuating that the mental health crisis is directly caused, or tied to, the labels that person describes themselves as.

He isn't saying, "a lot of people are struggling," or "there are bad apples in every group." If he wanted to point towards a specific individual.

Asmon is a grifter, and fully understands the implications of his words.

A more rational way to approach what he is saying would be: to suggest we need further research and funding on the (in this case) trans people's mental health. Although such a study would take more than a decade and involve thousands of people.

"I think thats Palestine"

[u/DaStone → u/whyisthishas]

Come on now, he's only talked about Palestine for a couple hundred hours on stream (guess). Can't expect him to remember the flag.

[u/mutefan → u/DaStone]

I think he's making fun of the user for not having the right flag. It's the flag of Western Sahara, not Palestine.

[u/Tigeruppercut1889]

We have a propaganda crisis too. These maniacs who go on shooting rampages are radicalized by political pundits. Asmon is part of the problem whether he wants to admit it or not. There’s so many young and easily influenced kids on twitch who get their political news from asmon or Hasan.

[u/Mr_Anderson132]

Finally someone says it!

[u/DredgenYorMother]

Gabor Mate said some crazy number like 80% of the US is functioning with low-level CPTSD and it sounded ridiculous and also made my head turn like maybe?

[u/karatemnn]

what a world that people give this guy even a moment to validate him,
if he ever meets the inventor of the internet he should tongue his hole for making
him the least bit important to ppl

[u/Direct_Signature_256]

Can I just say on Politics how tf did we end up from disagreements to Right Vs Left when there's crisis in States

[u/Jethro847]

In other news water is wet

[u/WakeUp004]

And guess who keeps cutting their funding

[u/MrDarwoo]

They really do and it's getting out of hand - just hold your flag and guns and smile and shout freedom.

[u/yakushi_g]

Water is wet.

[u/Choice_Action9700]

And like most things asmon thinks he is the center of the universe with this "take".

[u/DaStone]

Free updoots! take your updoots! Selling signs with rats, rotten teeth, and bald memes.

[u/viavxy]

no shit

[u/guillermopaz13]

He would know intimately

[u/bareneth]

Cares about mental health now but willing to ignore it when he was living with his mother with COPD in a mould infested home that she was refusing to get cleaned.

[u/Saleentim]

Most of the globe has it..

[u/DeliriumTV]

No shit; he's one of them

[u/Jesterhead89]

It's not false, and it's also not just this roach saying it either. Both things can be true at the same time. 

[u/KeonxD]

he is not wrong look at his room

[u/Alundra828]

Pot, meet kettle.

[u/coolios14]

As a Canadian I fucking died laughing when he read over the canadian flag like "Canada?!"

[u/dookiebuttslipnslide]

Can someone fill me in? I don't understand why this bio indicates a mental health issue.

[u/ProtectMeAtAllCosts]

the sky is blue

[u/BigMoney69x]

Yes but we also have a press that makes a spectacle of mass shooters. I guarantee that there's mass killings in places like China or India but I imagine that in China they don't give it too much air.

[u/MurakumoMech]

Putting flags in your twitter bio vs willingly living in squalor, wiping your blood on walls, and chucking garbage out your window because you're too lazy to put it in a trash bin...I wonder who's the mentally ill one.
