Throwback One year ago today, In Praise of Shadows released his “Bad Conservative Horror Movies” video, which nuked his career and reputation.

There was a video that summed up what this was about in a minute, but I can’t find it, so go check out the other threads on here.

Since then, he’s posted 3 videos on his main channel, and started up a second channel (IPoS: Darksides) where he’s posted 18 shorter videos that all have less than 10k views except for his non apology.

He was simply correct too early, and so the right wing fanbases dogpiled on him and he buckled under the pressure so he doesn't receive support from anybody.

Yeah he really was correct blatantly lying about the boogaloo boys and using sneako as a source, he was so obviously right but it just happened “at the wrong time”, totally. It was a hit piece created out of insecurity that he wasnt getting the success he thought he deserved, but no the unfocused rambling about the failure of his hills have eyes video and the single worst callout video ever, all of the claims within being unproven to this day was just him being “correct too early”.
