Tell me more about Sargon, I've heard of him but never seen his stuff/don't know what he does?

He goes by Sargon of Akkad which was the name of his YouTube channel, but now his main channel is Akkad Daily. He's a center-leftist like Tim Pool, or you could simply call him a British centrist. Sargon believes in programs like the UK's NHS, but he is vehemently opposed to socialism, censorship, and authoritarianism. He was a pro-Brexiteer and extremely active in the anti-SJW community on YouTube that flourished around the time Trump was elected. (He was also a big figure in Gamergate, pushing against leftist garbage.) After the Remainers did their best to sabotage Brexit, Sargon ran for MEP, hoping to be one of many who planned to work from the inside to help Brexit along; he lost his own race, but the greater movement was successful.

Sargon is a lot like Tim Pool in many ways, especially his hard line on freedom of speech. He is happy to engage in honest debate with anyone. He's often declared his support for Trump, and politicians who take a similar stance against the left and the crony establishment.
