It’s the pre-pre-pre-defeatism here that’s the problem. Please go outside.

You know I want to say I earnestly want to give them the benefit of a doubt and that they need it pointed out that they’re just saying shit and not even realizing what they’re signing up for.

But also, like, I see a target I shoot at it. Maybe I’m not much better.

I like how you missed the point entirely. Log off and call your Mom.

You know that openly saying you want to be on a misandry list is a bad thing, right?

Even if you are trying to make an overly moralizing statement about overcorrection and overreaction, you’re still a giant asshole, you know that, right?

Edit just to make sure I cover the bases but what I’m trying to say is you would be way more well off not commenting, I just need you to know that was always an option.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there’s some weird projection happening here because there is no way whatsoever that has anything to do with unattractive entitled people. Words mean things, and you need to review what it is you’re trying to cpmmunicate here.

I have a base, flat amount of respect for anyone who is willing to speak out and call nazis nazis. Right now there’s a literal dark money fountain available to people who want to defend Israel, for instance, and anyone who isn’t taking that and still willing to ragebait probably isn’t 100% terrible. And real talk hatesubs are not real. That’s some wild conspiracy stuff. If they are, then fuck it, get that bag. Flat respect who can get people to pay to say how much they hate your titties on a platform where you’ll be instantly squuelched and still take your money.

I’m just here promoting real, sane, criticism.

What does this even mean?

I mean I’m not disagreeing. If anything I hate Reddit more for being a crushing echo chamber that takes people who might have a good thing going and turning them into steralized, nonfunctional content monsters.

I do think it’s a time will tell kind of thing. Even SrGrapho just sort of fell into a hole where he was doing OC nudes and has yet to make a decent meme format in a decade.

Pizzacake could be better but I don’t mind that she’s taking on nazi’s and right wing weirdos who can’t help but lose their shit over titties and even the gentlest of criticisms. And refer to the first paragraph but there isn’t a single reddit community I would take the word of at face value.

Personally I think at the beginning thely were cute, funny, and at bare minimum I give bonus points to anyone starting out trying to do something rather than listen to di guses who think that there’s a hard baseline for content.

But I do think she became some sort of Reddit beast that got stuck in a flattery eddie off to the side of the R/ALL tributary and stopped getting meaningful criticism and it hurt a lot of her output and growth.

And yet she still has more talent and entertainment value then a bunch of slackjawed comment troglydites with the most incredibly iroic sense of mediocre.

I mean I’m not an expert but financial regulation and a functioning FTC. Being completely real I only have keywords here and no working knowledge of the links but Mamdani is already Taxing second homes that are being unused and kept as financial assets in NY which is something I feel should be modeled elsewhere. The faircloth amendment should be repealed and public housing destigmafied. And air BnB and interstate rental firms (or just any blanket asset management firms like Blackrock while we’re at it)should be abolished. Those are my big general takeaways.

My basic understanding is the reason we have housing as a speculative asset is the same as everything else that’s been getting exponentially shitty over the past 20 years, “if it exists and isn’t generating money then what’s the point of it”. Housing especially was always seen as an appreciative asset, but maybe if barely supposed to match inflation rates, so you could say any money you put into equity would always carry value into present day, but some people took that to mean"I should be able to die and be buried in a gold coffin because something about compound interest" and there were a lot of financiers who took advantage to this leadded gasoline fueled delusion.

Anyway that’s my two cents.

I like this idea that The Young Turks exists as a vehicle for Hasan almost exclusively.

This ignores the year(s) where he streamed games to an audience of 30 people after he quit TYT.

And to be clear, your standards are referring to a normal house as a mansion. Capitalism has robbed you of being able to imagine even normal things as anything but unreachable Luxury. And your weird sense of Socialism has convinced you that poverty is the only virtue that proves your Convictions. Both of these things are lies you’ve swallowed from a class of people who are waiting for you to pass out in their warehouse and die so they can stop hearing your whining.

Find the proof he zapped his dog.

What’s funny is that his house has actually been leaked and it’s not a mansion so much a product of insane runaway housing costs making relatively simple houses insanely expensive in specific locations.

Raise your standards.

Mmhmm

Lmao. I stopped watching their game content after the whole first episode of Skyward Sword debacle where Arin just invented reasons to hate the game that clearly didn’t exist.

However I came back to their 10mph content after Covid because I think they started to really catch their stride once tgey got proper producers to guardrail the forced failure part of their comedy.

I think he’s very smart in that way. He’s also a retired cop so I think he knows if he wants to keep a Youtube channel well into retirement he shouldn’t do anything to alienate anyone and stays way off that line.

A hint, this guy used the term ‘liberal fascist’, this isn’t a serious person.

Also anyone who gets kicked out of a DNC event mid-event probably isn’t a DNC plant but I guess the DNC spending millions to out-advertise candidates he promotes could be some sort of weird funding scheme.

Fwiw I’m not defending Hasan, but it’s a really interesting exercise to see if Hasan haters are even intelligible in their points when they show up.

I generally don’t like Hickock45 because if you watch any of his non-gun content he likes to leave things in a hedging, vague, “all I’m saying is…” context and honestly if he can’t say what side he’s defending then he’s kind of just being a douche.

Personally I feel a great deal of sunk cost as a late-in-life diagnosis. I kind of sympathize with both sides because I had to learn to mask without even knowing I was masking or that it was a thing I was doing. Now when I think about just ‘being me’ it feels impossible and like starting over trying to deal with people I’ve never understood to begin with.

It’s tough. I wouldn’t be too hard on either. For some people masking just keeps things from spiraling out of control, and for others it’s an effort that causes strain the other way around.

Good one, bud.
