So true. Somewhat odd for a former musician.
If only you knew how bad things really are.

Abelard above mentions Z-Man as a better alternative to Vox. I doubt I could put too much faith into someone that has a meltdown throwing Trump under the bus and also plagiarises content.
My biggest problem with Vox is that he consistently fails to set-up decent audio for his online video appearances. How hard is it to plug in a good mic and adjust the settings correctly for clear audio?

There’s nothing particularly comforting about what Vox says - He expects to see breakup/civil war in the USA in the 2030’s.
Despite the current information/censorship war, I think he’s correct that nationalism is only getting started. Considering that it’s at this level when the economy in the West is somewhat decent, an inevitable downturn will only throw gas on the fire.

I think Vox's biggest problem is that he subscribes to a Gamma driven internet battle-royale mentality over who will lead the Right to ultimate victory.
Vox is concerned that these self-appointed "leaders" that pop-up are frauds, usually of the centre/left and are not actually helping the right accomplish right-wing conservative goals. So far to my mind he has been correct on every one of them.
With the likes of Peterson, Harris and Shapiro these guys are fake right, globalist, cuckservative frauds that are doing incalculable damage with their large outreach and false messages that will lead us down dead ends. They deserve to be taken down in order to save our civilisation.

High school never ends
The media appears to be on the verge of discovering the socio-sexual hierarchy:
Is this the genesis of a new Sailer’s Law?
The most passionate tweets by male journalists tend to be demands that, Come the Revolution, the guys who beat out the journalists in getting the girls in high school will be destroyed in their adult lives.
The late Tom Wolfe suggested something similar in Back to Blood, in which an old editor, Topping, reflects upon young reporter John Smith. Only Wolfe thinks it all starts ten years younger:
If you ask me, newspaper reporters are created at age six when they first go to school. In the schoolyard boys immediately divide into two types. Immediately! There are those who have the will to be daring and dominate, and those who don’t have it. … But there are boys from the weaker side of the divide who grow up with the same dreams as the stronger … The boy standing before me, John Smith, is one of them. They, too, dream of power, money, fame, and beautiful lovers.
The sort of men who go into journalism tend to be gammas. Just look at the average high school boy working on the school paper or college man majoring in journalism. That's why so many of them get themselves into trouble once they climb the ranks, become a public face, start amassing real money and influence, and find themselves in the position of being a situational alpha. They simply don't have the self-control that the young alpha naturally develops over time and their ability to rationalize their actions is off the charts because gamma.
But in truth, it's more that elementary school never ends. That's the age where most people appear to be stamped into what more or less remains their final form. Even the late-bloomers who transform themselves over time tend to more or less retain that early form on the inside.

It all seems like a tremendous waste of time, but I admit I would be quite entertained if trolls caused Vox to melt down on camera (maybe he has? I ignore at least 90% of his streams.)

He does melt down, but it's always covered by a veneer of disdainful rationality. If someone gets under his skin he'll post every negative thing he can find about the person for the next couple decades. Sort of like how he keeps repeating that he doesn't care about Jordan Peterson, but then writes a book about Jordan Peterson and mentions him over and over again in his blog.

This is the kind of putdown that really validates the quality of Vox' work.
