YouTube genuinely wants to turn you into a white supremacist because those people watch long videos literally all day.

I m loving inclined to agree with you, gently caress I ve started watching poo poo in a different browser not signed into my gmail account.

I hate the social commentators who want to fight the culture war. They just traffic in stupid outrage click bait poo poo. My personal favorite was tim pool, who just wants to scream CIVIL WAR IS THERE GONNA BE A CIVIL WAR THIS LOOKS LIKE CIVIL WAR

on Jan 6th he shoulda had the worldest biggest boner. instead he was crying WHAT IS THIS NO NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP! NO NO NOT LIKE THAT!

as for peterson seeing the cover for that book with his daughter....I would believe he was just a performance artist troll.

I still maintain that the start of his career he benifited from signal boosting by his critics and like dr phil his philosophy is basically yelling simple advice to stupid people with serious problems.

The simple advice being to clean your room and wash your penis and take care of your problems to get your house in order. Then it turns out he nearly killed himself because he was addicted to benzo and went to loving russia the place he has an unhealthy fixation on.

hmm you know what I would love to see dr phil do a intervention on the peterson family

Rogans the odd one out in that group. In fact when rogan had peterson on , he tripped peterson up. Also I saw joe on another pod cast and he said he would never have trump on, because he "isnt gonna humanize him" he even got called out about well why have alex jones on.

oh where I m going with this Pity Boner is just tell the young man that joe is a sell out who wants to deplatform trump because money etc etc

Also engage with him about why he likes peterson even though peterson basically gave himself brain damage.

Jocko is a pretty insidious member of that group. He sounds commanding and whatnot when he talks about ~discipline~, but surprise surprise, he’s a huge chud about just about every topic.

He’s also said stuff like he always wanted to be a commando and would have been happy to be in any US war except WW1. Really dude? Knowing what you know now, you’d be happy to have been in Vietnam? Or the Civil War, where you were more likely to die a spectacularly awful death from something like smallpox than from bullets? Ooooook

i always thought it would be badass to have a reputation as like the guy who bullies and beats up Navy SEALS and maybe it's time to tone it down a little, they're people too.

Jocko Willinik, former Navy SEAL, podcaster. He has his hands in a bunch of poo poo. Sports equipment manufacture and sales, management training, Jiu-Jitsu training, energy drinks, etc. His deal is pretty much incorporating supposed military virtues into daily life and promoting the hell out of himself.

I bought one of his books a few years ago not knowing who the author was at all. It's basically a coffee table picture book of run of the mill discipline advice. Like... it's not bad, but you should already know this stuff.

He’s also big on Made In America, which translates to him being surprised at obscenely high prices for stuff. IIRC he was also on Rogan expressing outrage that Biden wasn’t rapidly spinning up new semiconductor foundries to ease the chip shortage, which, just, lol

I just looked it up and it has a 5 star rating. Absolutely glowing reviews.... but I like this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is this a parody?

Verified Purchase

This book is so bad it's actual comical. By buying it I feel like I've been part of an elaborate prank. Its a non stop roller coaster of disjointed and contradictory ramblings "work hard, push forward, always push forward, unless its more strategic to retreat, never rest, unless you have to rest, then you should rest. always attack, except when you shouldn't. wake up at 4am, but sleep is so important....blah blah blah", and on and on for 100+ pages. You will never ever see another collection of so many cliches in one place. It is quite something to behold. My favorite part was the chapter on Martial arts and how everyone should know 3 martial arts, and that the best martial art was carrying a gun. seriously.

A really high percentage of books have 5/5 ratings, or near it, because mostly only people predisposed to liking them are going to bother reading them.

Also chip fabrication factories take years and many billions of dollars to build. That’s part of the reason for the shortage. Intel or whoever just isn’t going to do that unless they think it’ll be worth the investment years from now.

I've been getting like 3 different chud coffee company ads including Black Rifle all the time. Black Rifle came up a long time ago in the TRF "check out these chud companies that you should avoid/protest" thread. I couldn't figure out how to report it (never reported an ad on FB before) but I wanted it out of my poo poo ASAP so I just kept saying they weren't relevant. Now I see an ad for "Peace" coffee lol.

I wanted to report them for some sort of harm but couldn't figure it out atm.

Unfortunately I'm into a lot of chud hobbies so I get lots of ads from all sorts of lovely stuff everywhere. I hate that everyone knows where I shop and what I buy.

Even the people I know who aren’t extremely online have cottoned on to the fact that the YouTube algorithm wants nothing more than to turn people into nazis because nazis watch hours of talking heads a day. It's an open secret at this point.

Presumably there are also people catching on to Facebook doing the same, but I don’t know anyone who actually uses Facebook beyond like event planning.

I've somehow avoided most right-wing YouTube, but two weeks ago I clicked on a video about Harry and Meghan that had glommed onto the Queen's funeral coverage and by golly that opened the Harry and Meghan hate jamboree. There's a certain audience that just feeds off each other with conspiracies regarding the royals and I could see how once you get three or four of those dedicated channels cycling their daily updates, it drowns out the rest of YouTube's offering.

So of course I watched some more. I'm surprised the Meghan gossipers haven't teamed up with the Jorpers yet. She's apparently a scheming social climber and doesn't know her place in the heirarchy. The royal family is somehow simultaneously very strict and controlling, but also easily duped by Mehgan. She's a powerful threat but also worthless. Etc etc.

Anyway, took a good three days to get YouTube back to normal.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

It’s kinda sad how loving one note and miserable these fucks are. Like even the angry political stuff I watch/listen to it’s at least humorous and has levity. These guys are just on constantly and are mad/afraid of everything and it’s the same like 5 reactions to everything. Like just find other Interests then just getting mad at black actors/actresses. Like different things, get into new hobbies and interests. Have friends. Get into different communities, learn new poo poo. Devote time to touching grass or being happy. Christ.

When Rogan made the move to Spotify a bunch of episodes didn't make the cut which included like a half dozen with Owen Benjamin who became an insane Holocaust denier and before that was a pretty middling internet comedian whose fame didn't justify even a single appearance. He also had some pizzagate guy on seven times who I'd never heard of despite following this stuff way too closely.
