We both know that I'm biased in favor of A Dose Of Buckley, but in which video does he pronounce himself to be Hitler's favorite fan? Am I reading this wrong?
This is a legitimate question. I haven't seen a Buckley video in weeks because my laptop has been on the fritz and the speakers don't work (and I have been moving, so no internet for 2 weeks), so if there is a recent or old video where he proclaims to have been a fan of Hitler I would like to get a link - I could probably get my computer in working order long enough to listen to it. I took Modern History in high school, and this last year before I graduated we covered WWII so I do not take Hitler or the Holocaust lightly.
Still, a ripoff of The Amazing Atheist? Buckley is a Caustic Critic (usually, he does positive reviews once in a blue moon), but I don't think he's consistently angry at everything. His rants depend on recent issues, and though he does get angry and offer mean-spirited jokey "solutions" he actually displays a good amount of common sense when dealing with his subjects. From what I've heard, The Amazing Atheist just pushes the line and makes people angry for the hell of it - getting banned from numerous fast food outlets around him (from Mc Donald's twice) and actually mouthing off to a rape victim (directly to a rape victim, as opposed to Buckley's misguided "don't go to India" spiel directed towards all women). If something goes down and Buckley confronts an actual victim of something, I'd imagine he'd stand down and apologize - unless there was significant doubt to their "victim" status, such as the person losing an argument and throwing assorted poorly-structured insults at Buckley before revealing their status as a victim (see the woman who described Roger Ebert as a "faggot" who Buckley chewed out on his Wordpress, who tried to assert her son was gay and she supported him and was not using the term the way he was perceiving.
(Also, "feminist" - surely you mean sexist. Feminism isn't a negative trait, and I don't think Buckley is a feminist. I don't dislike him any less for it, but I wouldn't call him a feminist and I do think he has shown shades of sexism in the past. I will assume the term is misplaced.)
oh, gee im sorry, mr mallard,you should give more example what diffrent between them. :(
Comparing anyone short of Fred Philips to the Amazing Atheist should be consider a grievous insult. That guy is a massive douchebag.
No, you are a fucking idiot. Where did he ever say he was a hitler worshiper? And so what if him and theamazingatheist have similarities? their style is the same. And the Toddintheshadows comparison was fucking retarded, they started around the same time.
And stop making insults when you cant back it up, like when you called him racist or hitler worshipper. Also, learn how to speak english dumbass, this shit sounded very incoherent.
their style is different*
I see Godwin's Law was already disregarded from the first sentence. Surely, this is the unbiased review we've all been waiting for.
Buckley has his positives and negatives. He seems to see straight to the heart of things and many times he shows great insight compared to the Average Joe. On the other hand, his bitter tone and cruel mocking of people can be grating to some. He is certainly divisive.
However, I don't remember him stating anywhere that he liked Hitler. As a matter of fact, at about one minute into the 4/20 episode he calls Hitler "one of history's worst human beings." He was talking about 4/20 as the day for "marijuana aficionados" to light up and was trolling his friend, but that looks like a condemnation of Hitler to me.
Now, the Amazing Atheist can be an asshole, but the core of it is that they have similar methods of telling things how they see it. The problem is that the Amazing Atheist has a particular range of subject matter most of the time. It's in his name. He talks politics because religion and politics are intertwined in America, where he resides. Republicans are stereotypically known for being big Christians. Buckley talks about, well, a lot of stuff and doesn't make his lack of legion his main idea. Also, I love the idea that Amazing Atheist just stopped being popular when Buckley came out. Shall we check the sub count, the most common YouTube penis measuring tool? The Amazing Atheist - 564,852 A Dose of Buckley - 461,587
Hmm. I'm seeing a disparity. Ah, maybe I should check the view totals. They could have paid for subs or something. The Amazing Atheist - 168,141,796 views A Dose of Buckley - 71,141,870 views
Hmm, it still seems like TAA is winning. Oh, I know, I should check their video totals and last posted video date, those are harder to game by bots and astroturfing (or Fan Dumb, I suppose). The Amazing Atheist - 823 videos, last video posted 06/07/2014 A Dose of Buckley - 201 videos, last video posted 06/08/2014
Oh man, I almost got scared there, obviously Buckley has dominated Amazing Atheist's audience with no hope of a reversal. Also, gotta love that Todd in the Shadows reference, way to notice another critic exists for pop music. You forgot the Rap Critic, though, since Buckley has reviewed rap too. But both of those guys sit in front of a camera.
"Buckley rant ONCE about not believing anything and that's it." And this makes him like the Amazing Atheist how?
"Even though I do hate the two of them, there something original about The amazing atheist that make him classic, Buckley, well......not. I still hate him, no matter what. He's racist,feminist and hates people with disabilities (hell, even pronouns "Hitler's" favourite fan) and so on." Racist? Questionably at best, he's even pointed out that people keep calling him racist for not liking rap regardless of its actual quality and that makes them racist (and with bad taste too). Feminist? No, the word you wanted was misogynistic. And yeah, he kind of can be, but not nearly to the extent that word implies. There's a reason no feminist targets him, he seems to hate people fairly equally. Now as for the originality angle, I can get that. I don't agree, but I understand.
No, what I saw was this: "Even though I do hate the two of them," That was the point of your review. Not any reasoned reason for why you like or dislike him, just look at the Hitler-lover accusations and general uninformed ranting, with poorly-formed sentences and bad grammar. I would love actual criticism, but this isn't it.
And before you say "I'd like to see you do better!", I have. Go rant at my review for being poorly-written garbage, because it probably is.
the Amazing Atheist can be an asshole
When you make spitefully mock rape victims, I think it stops being "can."
Fanfiction I hate.
Obvious troll is obvious

The more "thinner" version of The amazing atheist
Before "Buckley" is the new generation of atheist (and hitler worshipper)around the Internet, The amazing atheist was made in 2006 on YouTube He's rebellious,mean,psychotic and of course, he's does not believe in anything. He was really popular ever since back then and he still making new Videos every week. That is until Buckley came along. He too is rebellious,mean(which is taken up eleven in his much later future videos) and guess what? He too does not believe in anything either! The only difference is that he care much more about politics (which is weird cause he rant of how stupid we are with world and politics). And rant about music. (Gee that's so original,*cough* Todd in the Shadows *cough*). The amazing atheist does not on the other hand, he's still continues ranting god and the republicans. Buckley rant ONCE about not believing anything and that's it. Even though I do hate the two of them, there something original about The amazing atheist that make him classic, Buckley, well......not. I still hate him, no matter what. He's racist,feminist and hates people with disabilities (hell, even pronouns "Hitler's" favourite fan) and so on.
So overall, He's a knockoff of The Amazing Atheist . 3/10
