What I'm committed to is knowledge that is based, first and foremost, on a rational framework for understanding the world, which in this case your videos do not advance.
The problem with your argument that Ashkenazim are not "real (authentic?) Jews" is not your conclusion, because it is the irresistible conclusions to be reached from its starting point, but rather the categorical claims you make about what constitutes membership in an ethnic group.
Your argument is defective from the outset, because it confuses *genetic lineage* and *ethnicity*. For someone of greatly inferior philosophical training than yours, it would be an understandable oversight, because it is *prima facie* a rather strange thing that membership in an ethnic group be detached from genetic lineage. If I were seeking to poke holes in it, I'd say also that it suffers from holding Ashkenazim to a standard of racial purity that very few ethnic groups would satisfy, but I don't think you go as far as that.
You are not the first commentator online (nor the last, I'm sure) to take a keen interest in who Ashkenazim are and where we come from, so your reaching a bizarre conclusion was never a problem for me. I've taken plenty of zany arguments on board, and some I've even been convinced by.
It's how you got here, by means of a defective argument, that I object to.
Anyway, I know you're a good guy and you certainly don't do things by halves, which I can certainly respect. Much that I'd like to get back on YouTube as in the old days, I made a commitment to prioritise other creative redpill projects. At any rate, I don't have anything more to say on this subject — at least nothing that you couldn't infer on your own.
I wish you well, mate, you've built up a great collection of work here, especially the stuff about homosexuality (really top shelf), so I'll continue to generally recommend your channel wherever I can.

You should see his videos about Germany, and the Germans, though. One can tell, quite easily that he loves those people above all others. Rocking MrE, or Rocking MrAryan as I like to term him, feigns anti-German sentiment, in every one of his Youtube videos about Germany. But, they are so very camp, we can all tell that he is endeavoring to make anti-German bigotry seem stupid, which is exactly what a true German sympathizer would do.
