Funny video of Citynerd just going through all the comments he received on the last video he did on pickup trucks. A lot of "soy" and "wife's boyfriend" commonalities, but a few who were convinced they don't need a pickup truck or wish they didn't need one anymore.

I'm a big SUV and pickup truck dissenter, but fuck, this guy has got to be the most annoying person I ever heard speak. Does he have to slur the end of every sentence??! It sounds like a slowed down version of a California Karen accent...

Anyhow, this is clearly why his channel is popular: he is is presenting logical arguments with arrogant cheeky remarks, and he sounds like an annoyed emo on xanax. So the people who don't want trucks come for the logic and validation, while the truck fanbois come for trashing him (since he is plenty irritating) and peer validation.

It's just the guy's style. His whole thing is to be super dry, sarcastic, and sassy. He leans into it big time. I get that it might seem annoying if you aren't used to his content, but it's just his personal style. His videos are actually really good and often very informative since he has a background in city planning.

I definitely agree on the content, it is the presentation I was criticising; and furthermore my point wasn't to criticise, but to highlight that his popularity is beyond what it would be with his content alone, since the presentation probably makes a lot of people cringe.

Basically, the number one rule of engagement is: do not leave anyone indifferent. Those who you can't appeal to, irritate, or offend. And I believe he does that part better than most.

Unsoclicited psychoanalysis is a sign of extreme hostility.

"People that live in rural settings are oppressed."

Yeah, they are oppressed by paying taxes to fund the lifestyles of the city-slicker youtubers who hate them.

Yeah, they are oppressed growing all the food that feeds the self-absorbed clowns like the one that made this video.

Almost all food is being grown and raised by men who drive pickup trucks. If these men bought Tesla coupes instead, the city-slicker youtuber soy supremacists would starve.

Almost every point made by this youtuber is a Bolshevist talking point for liquidating the kulaks. The whole video is a screed of baseless social signalling by a person who would faint if he got a blister from doing real manual labor.

lol, what a bunch of bullshit. Trucks are owned by people who want to look like big tough farmers. Drive around any suburban neighborhood and you'll see giant-ass trucks parked in driveways because they are so stupidly large, they don't fit in the garages. They don't do shit that I don't do more of with a station wagon.

I'm assuming this includes you more than most, because you like to talk about it.

Woah, so you're saying you're only a man if you drive a pickup truck? It's a good thing you bought one then! Otherwise people would be able to tell you aren't a man!

You should probably let all the farmers in countries outside of North America know. The working class tend not to use pickup trucks anywhere outside of NA, so there's a lot of soy kulaks out there. Apparently, car companies spent billions of dollars over decades on marketing and advertising for pickup trucks in America trying to create the impression that pickup trucks are the only option for real rugged men. I guess they were just trying to get the word out. Keep up the good work!

Explain all the people in the suburbs then. No shortage of brodozers there. Otherwise, why so sore?
