    I’m really, really fucking tired of ERB reducing complex sociopolitical talking points to two crackerized talking head caricatures rapping at each other.

    That is because ERB is not about an educational channel dedicated to teaching sociopolitics: it’s a humor channel about rap battles between either historical figures or fictional characters that got popular more than a decade ago for putting Darth Vader to rap against Hitler and Lincoln against Chuck Norris. As with other youtube fades of the era like Smosh, Nyan cat and The Annoying Orange, I don’t find it funny, not at least since I left middle school, but we gotta be fair nonetheless and understand that it’s just a silly series of videos aimed to entertain, not to educate nor to make an academic exposition of political themes.

      I always wondered why nazis were posting memes with the annoying orange, but when he started doing AO NFTs and it all started to click.
