Flat-Earth Theorist, Rabid Racist Triggers Indian Twitter With His Hate-Filled Posts; Netizens Respond Comparably

January 8, 2024
The Commune

A comedian turned conspiracy theorist and right-wing opportunist who has probably never seen success is in the news – for riling up Indian Twitter by spewing hate against Indians and Hindus, to be precise. Owen Benjamin is the man in question and over the years in his “career” as a comedian, he is seen to exhibit a consistent lack of intelligence, relying solely on the gimmick of making outrageous statements to grab attention.

A former Islamophobe who made controversial statements about Islam and the Quran, suddenly “embraced” and started loving Islam a few years ago. Owen, in a podcast with TheDeenShowTV, said, “I had always thought that you guys hated Jesus Muslims reading the Koran strapping bombs to themselves and running into a concert to kill white people I can’t believe I fell for that lie”.

Who Is He?

Did you know, apart from being a failed comedian, Owen Benjamin is a Holocaust denier, a flat-earth believer, a cult leader, an anti-vaxxer, apart from being anti-LGBTQ+++ 

A Peek Into His Past

Let’s delve a little into his past (recent). In 2019, comedian and actor Owen Benjamin, banned from major social media platforms for racist, antisemitic, and abusive content, is openly evading the ban on Instagram. Despite being primarily active on alternative platforms like Gab, BitChute, and Odysee, Benjamin and his followers exploit lax enforcement on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter, spreading content and evading bans. Benjamin, a leader of the “Unbearables” cult, engages regularly in harassment campaigns, promotes anti-LGBTQ, racist, and antisemitic views, and propagates dangerous anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. Despite Twitter suspensions, accounts associated with him remain active. His extreme rhetoric and devoted following pose a concerning online presence, raising questions about platforms’ effectiveness in curbing ban evasion and harmful content dissemination.

In a livestream via Instagram, Benjamin used offensive language, including the N-word, and employed derogatory stereotypes when discussing various ethnic groups. He characterised Koreans as “way too crazy” and described them as “ruthless” individuals who supposedly “hold grudges for five generations over, like, rice.” He even wrote a song in 2018 “That Nigga Stole my Bike.” Well…

In 2021, he targeted a disabled journalist Mike Weland of the Kootenai Valley Times labeling him an “alleged pedophile” and accusing him of leveraging his disability to gain trust around children. Benjamin escalated the harassment by sending a film crew to Weland’s house and further mocked disabled individuals on Instagram, displaying a pattern of abusive behavior.

His Love For Muslims & Islam

A comedian and supposed actor, he claimed on a video shared a few years ago, that his “main thing is to help people not hate so many good-hearted Muslims that are wit withstanding evil and they are the type of people you want to root for these scholarly beautiful Muslim people”. He also added, “Muslims that honor the Creator the God of truth the God are not a threat to my family”. He also added that Muslim families worship better than Christian families. 

This former Islamophobe turned into a Hinduphobe or rather Hindumisic, thanks to Vivek Ramaswamy. The entire X timeline of Benjamin is filled with hate, hate for Israel, hate for Hindus and Indians. He even demeaned Hindu customs, Hindu deities, traditions, and whatnot. 

Some of his tweets about Hindu gods and goddesses include:

 

 

 

Fascination For Poop

His fixation with poop seems to have gone another level as his obsessive tweets on pooping and stools and cow dung just kept coming.

 

 

He shared videos on how Indians were supposedly using cow dung for beauty treatments and as toothpowder/paste. Benjamin seems to be living in the past and is not aware of how India has developed over the past decade at least.  

 

 

We all know Swachch Bharat Abhiyaan ensured toilets were built all over the country and open defecation has come to an end. However, racist Owen Benjamin keeps spreading fake news that Indians still defecate in the open. 

When Indians called out his bigotry, he came up with this:

All Shades Of Hate – Thy Name Is Owen Benjamin

His hate for Israel seemed to be another reason for such hate against Indians. 

 

His Hindu hate aka love for Muslims also came out in the open when he compared Muslim rule and Hindu rule.

 

Love For Arabs & Pakistanis

He surely had to display his love for the Arabs and Pakistanis when he is a flat-earth theorist? 

 

Looks like we missed his hate posts after the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the lunar surface. 

Let’s take a look at his exemplary hate for Indians here:

Netizen Reactions

 

 

 

Netizens called out his hypocrisy of calling India’s open defecation and Hindu hate. Netizens reminded Owen of his own backyard where defecation occurs big time.

 

 

Ably aided by a set of trolls which included Indians who gladly shit on their own culture, Owen Benjamin continued spouting more vitriol. Here’s a specimen.

Owen Benjamin was banned from YouTube in late 2019 for attempting to circumvent their terms of service and had previously violated guidelines by livestreaming. Before the ban, he utilised his platform to deny the Holocaust and propagate anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theories. Despite the ban, as of 2021, at least 17 mirror accounts continued to spread his content on YouTube.

This time, Owen Benjamin has messed with Indian Twitter. Maldives is reeling from what happened after they created a controversy over PM Modi’s Lakshadweep visit. It is highly likely that this rabid anti-Hindu and anti-Indian “comic” is going to get a taste of his own medicine for spreading filth.
