Every time a big time youtuber gets popular or whatever or makes news, I check out some of their videos, and I never loving understand their appeal. I had the same situation with h3h3 when their poo poo started becoming more popular.

Hottest of hot takes: drones are good because they result in less collateral damage and civilian casualties than traditional warfare

I've been wondering what the first all drone war would be like. It would all boil down to who can pump out the drat things the fastest meaning the country with the strongest industry wins....

Haha we are so hosed.

PewDiePie being a Nazi sympathizer is like, the least surprising thing ever

I don't think there's ever been an example where a sheltered white shithead had his ego inflated for years and didn't become a boil on the rear end of humanity

If you have perspective on your own good fortune, you turn out okay I think.

The latest meaningless Twitter drama is apparently some tankies passing around screenshots of Nick Mullen being a racist jackass. And then proceeding to use this to smear the DSA with because the Jacobin/Chapo usual suspects all follow Nick on Twitter.

Online is extremely, extremely good. Jacobinghazi is like a hydra spawning new feuds every week. But I don't want to go cause trouble about it in those threads because I'm weak and want everyone to get along. :(

I help run a Minecraft server and one of the things I do is hunt down good videos on mods we add, and the Minecraft community is beyond my understanding because everybody has to have some wacky and loud voice and go on weird diatribes

It may be a youtube thing because very few of the Twitch streamers of the game do that

That doesn't count tho because it's not other people inflating their egos, it's themselves which is different

Is it bad that I want the whole system to burn to ashes in the name of spite against those who love it, even if they never acknowledge the nature of the system or their culpability in it?

No.

some idiot: "Don't use the pepe meme it's for reprobates"
*in extremely reprobatic voice* "hmmmmmmmm use the pepe meme as shorthand for opposition to hillary + her perceived values u say"

the frog memes were already heavily concentrated on the right. she drew a line in the sand over it. if not for Hillary people would be hemming and hawing about who the "real" nazis are

Any star will attract people who want to hang around and inflate their egos, so I respect the self-awareness it takes to resist that. Or to come back from the abyss, which seems to be the case with Wesley Snipes.

Hillary did nothing wrong and no one person can stop the American imperial machine so I'd rather have a competent pilot who's well aware of geopolitical realities at the helm than a movement figure who would get corrupted by the post anyway. If Bernie had won we'd all be crying about Bernie bombing brown people because that's something that definitely 1000% would have happened.
