Ethan Klein has been having an affair. H3H3 Podcast is finished!

Reply in thread

Important context: due to being completely unable to pin anything bad on Hasan, Kleins started suing smaller creators that reacted to the drama videos they created for copyright infringement reasons, and have been openly attempting to weaponize law to silence and censor anyone speaking out agains them, or speaking in favour of Hasan. Both worked hard to undermine number of pro-palestine creators for the fact of being anti-zionist and got them constantly harrased and in some cases banned from the platforms they used to post content. Both are completely despicable, just wanted to point out that in their attemp to attack Hasan they more than welcomed collateral damage and are willing to destroy lives of anyone who would oppose them. Just like their idolized nation of Israel. If they kept their aggresion to Hasan alone, I'd just call thrm wrong, with their sick intent to silence anyone who supports Palestine with lawfare and harrasment, both belong in jail.

Shocked Ethan could pull anyone who's not a honeypot anyway. Man's not well.

If you chose not to decide, you still have made a choice…

I know you guys won't, because your job is to convince as many people as possible not to vote after all, but god do I yearn for the day when the Democrats start to appeal to non-voters by other means than "at least we're not as bad as the other guy". If you think that this is an effective strategy, you might just be able to wrestle defeat from the jaws of victory. Just keep letting marginalized folk know that they shouldn't count on their lives improving, because you're commited to doing just slightly better than the opposition. Don't campaign on promises of anything materially better, only on being paid off by the same interests groups as the "other side", except for the fact you're going to keep doing those things they paid you for - but politely. And if you think that the existence of my argument against your strategy on the internet is going to ruin your chances for it working at all, and you're going to blame those arguing against it for your loss while you're blasting the same old points of "we rape and murder arguably less", then BOY can I figure out the results it's going to bring.

Anyone who was going to vote for the lesser evil is going to do that anyway. Anyone who's on the fence will most likely decide to sit this one out (again). Claiming it's someones moral obligation to vote for terrible (but slightly less) people is going to depress votes, exactly as it did with Harris. Change your strategy or lose.

Just fucking... talk about the affordibility crisis and your plans to end it. About universal healthcare. About how Israel is a bunch on genocidal bastards. Just anything other than this proven, time and again, losing strategy. You have a field full of targets and a loaded gun. Only way you can miss is if you point it at your head. Or go further right to win MAGA voters, I guess...

I am, despite not being from USA I am following the midterm races from the imperial core because I know their results will affect my life, the way they did in previous elections. This post, and the vast majority of the propaganda spouted by Dems, is exactly that, though. There's more criticism from the estabilishment Dems towards politicians that do make those points, like Mamdani or El-Sayed, than towards their opponents in the White House. And what does most of them do say about their plans in office? How do they campaign? Exactly the way you see here. And don't get me wrong, I want bad politicians to lose and good ones to win. It's good some do have reasonable strategy, they will do better than the dumbfucks who keep blasting that uncommited voters that don't care about politics as much as they've been taught not to care, that just want to get through their hard day of work and worries - that those voters have to to make time to go and vote for slightly less known Epstein associate. It's not even that I want those dogshit politicians to lose, though I can't claim I see presidency of Newsom going better than Trump's in terms of quality of living for people in USA, but probably noticably better for me in Europe. It's just that they WILL LOSE AGAIN unless the messaging capabilities of the propagandists improve.

[NSFW:Death] Video footage of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson getting shot from behind

Reply in thread

I don't want to sound bloodthirsty, but I was always really confused why this wasn't happening regularly, at least in the States. Those people, the CEOs, are the faces of corporations that fucked many people over. With the amount of the violent gun crimes in USA you would think those CEOs would be targets of disgruntled gun owners all the time instead of next to never.

At the risk of sounding a bit more bloodthirsty, since the current capital class is basicially free of consequences for their opression of the working class due to incredibly corrupt justice system, those things should be a natural outcome of the working class frustration. Especially accounting for absurd access to deadly and easy to use guns. Nature is healing.

People need to remember this.

While true and valid, also remember that your community can be a problem, or you might be suffering from systemic issues. Not all issues stem from individuals, and some are impossible to solve on the personal level. If you find yourself in the cult, for example, walking away is probably the best you could do, despite the scorn of the community.

GET REKT

Yeah sure "murder hornets". Like "murder japs", "murder communists", "murder vietnamese", "murder gays", "murder blacks" or "murder arabs" before. I think I'll hold off celebrating until I know how much oil those hornets had in stock.

Either ya understand why most women pick the 🐻 or you are the 🐻.

IMO you're missing the point. It's less about whenever women are "right" to be afraid of men in general, and more about what their feelings on the matter actually are. If a lot of women would prefer to meet a bear rather than a stranger in a forest, then that's because of their deep distrust of men. It's not about whenever men are actually trustworthy and women are overreacting (though a lot of the responses are indicative that they're not), but rather about what led to this distrust, and also about how unaware of the issue men are in general. Quick googling shows stats like 1 in 5/6 women was or will be a victim of rape, 1 in 3 of them as a child, 81% in general had been sexually harassed or assaulted. It's not that many women just "hear stories of assault and rape and whatever", many women are victims, and almost all know a victim personally.

Now, did you know that? Do you know a person who's rape/SA/SH victim? Are you aware that's actually a broad problem and not just some abstract culture of fear? Because I think this whole thing with a bear vs man in a forest shows mostly the difference between men and women when it comes to understanding this topic. I see it not as a "are men bad" question, but rather "is sexual violence common", because you sure might be a righteous fella and most of your friends might be as well, but no women that know you can be sure you're not the guy who's keeping those stats up. It doesn't take a majority of men to cause this fear, but it will take a majority of them to fix it, and understanding that there is a problem is at the very least the first step.

Imagine if his motivation was to prove he had great aim and that they did him wrong. Maybe he just wanted to become the most well known sniper-assassin in the modern world. Maybe that's the reason he didn't use scope, he wanted his memory to be that of the rifle maverick. I wonder what went through his head after he realised he missed. I mean, other than a bullet.

It's Only One Vote

I'm proud I didn't vote Blue in 2016 and 2020. I'm not from the USA so it would be a voter fraud if I did.

That being said, dems are completely incompetent when it comes to elections, deliberately picking such terrible candidates like Hillary and Biden. I don't believe there are actual people that voted Blue because of seeded candidate and not despite it.

That's not an argument against removing billionaires though, right? You'd rather want to stop the spread of cancer instead of bemoaning the fact that we got sick at all. The best we can do is reposes their frivolously purchased assets and recycle them as much as it's reasonable, and cast away what remains. It's not all yachts, some of that wealth is locked in empty flats/houses, and giving those back to community would be very beneficial without needing to transform those assets further.
