Originally they were scam stock grifters and as soon as they started having large 6 figure sums taken off them by the govt for being scammers Trump came about so they jumped on the Trump grift train. That's about it in a nutshell, they've always been grifters.

I've only listened to about 20 or so episodes of it. I'm amazed how many times in I've heard them reiterate various forms of "DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH YOUR CAT" in those handful of episodes. Clearly this guy did not get the message.

Shane Dawson is a YouTube dude who is very popular with people under 18. He has had a shtick where he makes “documentaries” about other YouTube people you may not have heard of, like Logan Paul (infamous for having filmed the corpse of a suicide in that Japanese suicide forest). Apparently he said on a podcast that he humped his cat and ejaculated on it several years ago, but now he’s saying that that was a joke. I am sorry for burdening your brains with this information.

Aramek posted:Dumbasses see "strong person uses strength to overcome enemy" as inherently fascist because they're dumb. Actually, the argument is more "superhero movies are generally about how the established order is incapable of dealing with I'm not saying that every superhero movie has every element I mentioned, but from the ones I've managed to stomach they seem to have enough of the ingredients that I'm comfortable dismissing the genre.

That was the argument Alan Moore was making in Watchmen. "If you give over authority to a bunch of costumed superheroes, they're going to either turn into fascists or expose their latent fascistic tendencies and lose touch with humanity". Unfortunately the lesson that comic writers took from it was "cool dark superheroes are cool".

I'd say its more libertarian / anarchist than fascist. Almost all comic superheroes are vigilantes, which means they're not part of the authority, so not fascist. There are exceptions though.

I don’t believe this guy hosed his cat, simply because I don’t believe anyone can truly own a cat. I think he probably hosed an cat though.

After reading some books about the war. The US couldn't have won the war even if they could teleport the entire US armed forces (including national and coastguard) into the country with free reigns. Like the US had periods were Nixon just went nuts and bombed everything and it didn't even slow down North Vietnam. Despite what movies would have us believe. North Vietnam was a formidable military force with tanks and poo poo. Not just random peasants in straw hats hiding in the shrubbery. Katt has a new favorite as of 15:56 on Mar 18, 2019 |

North Vietnam was a formidable military force with tanks and poo poo. Not just random peasants in straw hats hiding in the shrubbery. north vietnam did have a stout, modern military force provided by russian and chinese aid, but the united states had the military capacity to wreck north vietnam. we did do that, with terrible repeated bombing of civilian areas the war was unwinnable because the united states positioned itself as defending the sovereignty of south vietnam, which was itself a puppet state set up to support an unpopular government to block vietnamese independence. nobody wanted south vietnam, the majority of vietnamese who lived in the south didn't support their own externally imposed government. since america was lying to itself about the war and how it could be won, the north vietnamese army just had to outlast american willingness to fight, and since the vietnamese were fighting for their own right to self determination and the americans were fighting because ??? communism i guess?? it was an inevitable loss for america, as the very question of "why are we in this war" was nearly unanswerable
