So I'm just about on the cusp of understanding what's happening in some sort of corners of the internet.

But I'm speaking to somebody who sort of lives and breathes in the cobwebs.

Who are some of the most...

politically influential people on the internet that most normies wouldn't know about.

Nick being an example of someone I think that's broken through way too much to be said most normies would not know about.

Once you've been on Tucker Carlson and done five million plays, I think that you can class yourself pretty well.

New York Times writes about him too.

Yeah.

So I'm interested in who, not necessarily the new Nick, but who are the guys and girls that are really politically influential online that most people wouldn't know about?

Iceburger.

Turning point in the internet occurred where I missed it, but bronze age pervert, raw egg nationalist, alpaca Aurelius, although he's more based in the sort of health and fitness side of this.

Yeah, the anon, pseudo-anon, like sort of poster scenario.

That's interesting that that's broken through.

That is true.

That is true indeed.

You've kept on using the word meme.

Are you talking about it in the Richard Dawkins sense?

Or are you talking about it in the made it on Tumblr sense?

This is how it's come into contact with reality.

How much of this is shitposting versus being actually earnest?
