The article in the original tweet makes it sound like Youtube just bans all external links in the cards of non-partners and not specificially Patreon. If it's really all links, I don't think that's a spite move but more of a sensible thing.

It's all external links, but it's for Patreon. If they'd just singled out patreon.com links, everyone would just use url shorteners.

Easy, just burn your house down.
also the statement actually is "No no see you're allowed to externally link to patreon that's fine.... as long as you are a youtube partner and go through everything that entails meaning you have to be big name and do this and that and..."

Is that true? My understanding is that you just need to have the video you want the links on to be monetized, which pretty much anyone can do. 'Course that still fucks over people who are banned from ad sense even if for a legitimate reason, but it shouldn't affect most people.

I watched his video, he literally said "Ending capitalism will and sexism". He's even getting called out by (people I would describe as) tankie you tubers like FinnishBolshevik for being a brocialist.

FinnBoll did a pretty good response to it actually, saying that idpol is a useless term, because identity politics is fine, it's when people do it Liberally or apolitically that's the problem.

part of the reason why this sort of thing is common in far-left circles on the internet is due to the subcultures of places like /leftypol/ (and earlier lf, though it's debatable how explicitly far-left the posting population on lf was) where "ironic" sexism and racism is not only common, but that being sexist and / or racist is fine if you can profess to beliefs that are adequately far-left enough. then you end up with people like permabanned former forums poster maggotmaster. and one reason that such people rant against idpol is, imo, that following idpol one can only conclude that they're still racist and sexist even if they're doing it ironically.

freddie deboer talks about this stuff in this article, though he greatly exaggerates the harm caused by ironic counterculture like weird twitter on the left because he's still a loser who spends most of his time on the internet, no matter how much he complains about the left not organising irl.

I call this the reverse Dunning-Krueger: when you're so smart/capable in one field, you're totally blindsided by the fact that your expertise is very narrow and doesn't map on to any other discipline.

i think it's more that because they have knowledge and capability of one field, they realize they can never truly find the glory they seek in that one field, which is especially true for physics. so to wank their egos they move over to another field and pass off their dumb ideas as valuable to that field, but if they truly understood that other field whose lawn they're making GBS threads on, they'd realize how worthless their ideas are. like with greg cochran and his gay germ hypothesis (lol), the only real justification for this hypothesis seems to be that it sprang from his genius mind, so it must be the best and truest explanation. also because he's a racist and a homophobe, so all his lovely hypotheses in the biological and human genetic fields are rooted in justifying his racism, and thus based on lovely hereditarian stuff by jensen et al.

maybe for physics but it's the opposite for techbros. techbros enter a field they have zero experience with and use data science or machine learning or some other poo poo to improve it. then they think drat, if all these people with social science degrees and years of experience couldn't figure this out, I must be a whole lot smarter than them. it's definitely not that programming is a completely different discipline, it's just that any dumb rear end idea i get must be inherently true on account of how much money my powerful brain has made me. that's how you end up with mark zuckerberg running for president and google dudes developing elaborate theories about how women's brains have poison inside them

That Mythicist atheism conference Sargon was invited to was predictably a poo poo show. I think full videos of the discussions are being released eventually but a few people are posting snippets. Here (if the link works) is Sargon and his goons doubling down on hilarious rape jokes in a debate with Thomas Smith.

Sargon is a garbage human


Thomas Smith walked out after the debate, genuinely effected by the fact people were supporting him. Sargon is chalking it up as a great victory like the smug rear end in a top hat he is.

According to the relevant Google help pages, you need 10k public channel views to apply. Then they review your channel for TOS compliance and decide if you're allowed to make them money.

I don't know how cumbersome or shady the actual review process is, but it's hard to imagine they're very stringent.

yeah :( he was using shithead liberal arguments and clinton lines and weird idpol poo poo that the alt right shits loving thrive on mocking. this is how shitheads like "sargon" look smart, because they sorta know how to play the system against dumb asses like this clown. and what kinda of lines are "freedom allows white men to control everything" and "interesectionality makes us more individual". none of those seem that good for debate lines.

See Sargon's drubbing at the hands of Kristi Winters for the exact opposite. The moment these idiots come up against someone who knows their tricks and doesn't play their game they fold so fast.

exactly, they know how to gently caress with social left idpol liberals easy because they can twist their west wing centric bullshit against them and parry their flails and then mock them until said liberal gets mad but when they fight someone who knows their game, they implode.

While remaining calm under such a situation is preferable, the idea that you should remain completely emotionally detached feels like remnants of the logic fetishism the old Nu-Atheism (and by extention 'Rational' movement) loved to intellectually masturbate themselves silly to.

Honestly it's impossible to debate someone like Sargon because he doesn't care about the truth and makes claims in bad faith almost exclusively. Whenever someone brings up the time he responded to a woman MP with the comment "I wouldn't even rape you," he responds by looking concerned and saying "I wouldn't rape anyone. What's wrong with saying so?"

It's the most juvenile bullshit imaginable. He also pops out "it's satire!" whenever people point out the kek flag is a nazi flag.

The obvious question there is "what is it satirizing?"

Like, in the absence of the actual movement, a Mel Brooks piece about a bunch of whiny nerds who get mad about being whiny nerds and so formulate a plan to become the master race and end up marching under the kek flag could be an effective satire of the relevance and salvation from mediocrity that neo-nazi groups claim to offer. I'd watch it.

Doing the same thing in real life isn't satire unless they're claiming that they're in on the joke and they're actually whiny nerds, but don't really support all the nazi poo poo.

because they are morons and assholes who are to afraid to go all the way with their terrible poo poo(the consequences and etc), so they hide behind "satire" and stuff. they hate everything about liberal western culture but they use pieces of it to cover themselves.

I feel like the best response to him would be to do the thing where you stand uncomfortably close to someone and then almost headbutt them so they flinch.

As he doesn't believe in toxic masculinity I feel this is the best way to make him like you.

Yeah, if you're not properly prepared to deal with that sort of discourse you're gonna lose your poo poo earlier than you'd expect. If you go in expecting rational discourse and logic to matter, you'll be bitterly disappointed and then when you try to jump down to their level suddenly you've given them the sound bytes they wanted from you in the first place.
