Kim Justice posted:Um...wait, what? I swear this is someone I've seen RT'd on my timeline by people previously. Like, ok people. And here they're defending THAT? He was always a neolib. Lots of leftists followed him because he would dunk on right-wingers but like all neolibs eventually they devolve into defending fascists for some reason

THAT’S what “mutual” means? Jesus christ! Based on how people use it I thought it was a synonym for “friend” or “colleague” or at the very least “person that I know.” Why are people using a term that means “someone who follows a person on Twitter that I also follow” that way? That’s horrible.

That’s horrible. It's an important enough thing that you kinda need a term for it, and "mutual" is impersonal enough that it doesn't imply actual friendship or the like.

"Mutual" means that you follow one another, not that you both follow some third person.

Honest Thief posted:When searching for this thread i found the old one and around September someone posted about how RD was losing it irt that destiny clip, he's since then doubled down on it. Another streamer had a "debate" with him about that specific clip and spent the entire time basically just repeating over and over an out to let that Destiny guy just walk it back and say he didn't actually think white supremacists should just walk in and murder people but he doubled down every time. He's never not doubled down on it and doesn't seem like he's ever going to stop.

Yvonmukluk posted:I seem to recall that another pretty cool dude from that era was Ansom Burlingame. When Sumner got caned, Burlingame gave a speech calling out Brooks (the guy who did it) as the coward he was (he caned Sumner while he was sat behind a desk and couldn't escape and had another gun with a gun to stp anyone intervening), and Brooks then challenged him to a duel. Burlingame said 'gently caress yeah, let's duel' and since he was the guy who was challenged, he got to choose the location & weapons. He went with Canada (to get around American anti-dueling laws) and rifles (because he was a crack shot). Unsurprisingly, Brooks claimed he couldn't make it on account of the 'hostile country' between him and Canada. Yeah! It's a fun story. Sumner and Burlingame went on to have long careers and (although Sumner had a head injury that caused him pain for the rest of his life), the guy who beat him up basically never did anything after that and is the one thing he did in his life was completely encapsulate the conservative psyche; get triggered when you're called out, react violently when there's no chance of repurcussions, and run away like a coward when you aren't completely protected. McCloud posted:Didn't he use the N-word (with a hard R) in one of his "debates" with someone which lead to a whole clusterfuck? People on my timeline were rightly a bit pissed about that urgh yeah this is the dumbest poo poo. Vaush is someone who became famous this/last year for debating anyone, including nazi's and the like. He is for my money quite a bit smarter than destiny, and it was basically him owning sargon/a bunch of other alt-righters that got them all to mysteriously agree this year that "it's pointless to debate leftists so we're not going to anymore". In on debate with three nazi's they kept talking over him and making jokes where they danced around racial slurs and snickered and vaush said "are you afraid to say ______ or something?" and they all suddenly went very quiet. vaush defended himself by saying he did it to regain power/control in the debate, which in his opinion he did. He admits though that using the n word to make a point to literal nazi's might not be worth it. imo, no one gets to be a full-time streamer without saying stupid poo poo. There's a difference between using a slur to be edgy and admitting it might have been stupid and angrily telling people it would be good to kill protestors.

It's always weird to go "why is anyone following this guy?" when the reason it's such a big deal they're having such a dogshit take is they normally tweet good stuff. That's why people were following him - he tweeted good things. It's like when a non-political creator dips their toes in the water of politics and comes off like a moron. Nerd City makes great videos (with insane production) but then they pinched this loaf off yesterday: https://twitter.com/nerdcity/status/1335627533866455045?s=20 McInnes was deplatformed BECAUSE of his insane fringe positions. He was engaging in Holocaust denial at the same time he was sometimes guest hosting for Steven Crowder's "mainstream" channel. poo poo the take in that screenshot IS the mainstream conservative position on the election. Also maybe question if your take is good if Count Dankula is in the replies agreeing.

I am amazed that this was the hill that rational disconnect chose to die on. Did not see this one coming. Rittenhouse went on a protestor safari and the best defense this guy can muster is "well if they broke into Rittenhouse's home when he was justified"

You've got like three guys who have no bars unless they cram fifty pop culture references in and ruin the flow and this guy's there.

I've only heard 2 1/3-ish of their raps, nowhere near enough to tell who's good and who isn't, but my main gripe was that they're wasting good beats on bad/mediocre content.
