Caleb Hammer became one of the top YouTubers, apolitically helping people get their personal finances in order. Key word "personal," because he also believes you're responsible for your bad "personal" financial decisions and not billionaires. It's for that reason that the left thinks he's a fascist. Which is why even he needed to increase security after Charlie Kirk's assassination.

To be fair to the left, it's not that Caleb is a fascist ONLY because he thinks you should be responsible with your finances. He also thinks a thug with over twenty priors shouldn't be setting people on fire because they shouldn't be allowed back on the streets after nineteen priors.

Caleb explained his mental state after Charlie's assassination on an episode of The Iced Coffee Hour.

After the Charlie Kirk thing, I was like f*ck… We’re not even in comparable spaces, but I have people calling me fascist day in and day out ... I had security outside my house for weeks until we got a good system and I got a gun.

I wanted to bring this up for two reasons. One, we who ARE in the political space have been saying for the past fifteen years or so that the left's rhetoric of calling anyone who disagrees with them various -ists guilty of -isms, and treating anyone who disagrees with them about anything ever as unhuman, isn't going to end well. The response is "iF YoU DoN'T WaNt pEoPlE CaLlInG YoU FaScIsT, tHeN DoN'T Be fAsCiSt. HuRr dErP."

That's difficult to do when even apolitical financial bloggers get called FAAAAAACIST for making fun of the dumb ways people get themselves in debt, as he tries to help them out of it. The most political Caleb has gotten was interviewing Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, where -- wait for it -- he warned of the danger of labeling anyone who disagrees with you a fascist. Whitmer short-circuited as a result.

The other thing is that Caleb has been fascinating to watch because he comes across as someone who is or was at least left-leaning. Yet you can see in real time how having to deal with the left on internets can turn people into MAGA bros. The extent that Caleb talks about politics is a) people should be smarter with their money, b) crime is bad, and c) New York City is a silly place. For that alone, and because he has a platform where he doesn't say the word "Trump" followed by him spitting on the floor, that makes him "right-coded" and therefore a fascist.

Not that people on our side won't let him hear it if he ever said something we disagree with. But at worst, we'd call him "CaLIB" and make fun of his glasses.
