This might sound like a funny thing when you consider that I like Memeology's video a month ago making fun of leftist people that hated on those that wanted to stay neutral. I'm fine with people who are apolitical, or don't want to talk about it openly for whatever reason. There's nothing for me to really take issue with that. But I do take issue with people who do decide to talk about it from a "neutral" sense.
First off, it's the same "both sides bad" shit over and over. Which is a valid stance, except for the fact that their fucking wrong. Who is it that created cancel culture? Who is it that bans speech they don't like? Who are the ones that overwhelmingly are rioting among multiple major US cities? It's the same shit that I saw with people back when I still used the KIA2 subreddit with Floyd's death. Going their bullshit middle position of "Oh, I don't want to abolish police but think that Chavin killed Floyd".
Okay, being moderate just means you're not taking a extreme position. It doesn't make you right or wrong depending on what the facts turn out to be. Facts that many of those same people didn't care for, when I spent literal hours researching terms like "excited delirium." Or going through that video and realizing just how little pressure that knee would've had on his neck.
Which goes to my second point. That being that a lot of these types are really ignorant of the censorship of big tech companies. It's far from new, which I know that pretty much everyone here is aware of that. But how is it when there's an election cycle, it only now becomes obvious? Like I remembered a video by a Youtuber known as "Hero Hei" Which I think some might remember with the Vic Mignogna. Where he completely missed the point of some tweet Eric Trump put up about how Google present the search result of "mob" compared to other search providers. He was talking about manipulation and it had nothing to do with anime outside of what Google was showing.
Finally, and this isn't technically only on them. But how much bitching about YouTube do I need to hear before some people make a second channel on a different site and promote them? It's pretty much everyone knows is how scummy the owners are, but no one bothers to do anything about it. Just keep posting videos on YouTube and nowhere else because what? That's where everyone goes to? Why should I even care about how YouTube might be screwing you over, if you're not going to even attempt to do anything about it other than whine?
There's probably more I could talk about this, but I've already put off on writing this long post for a week. And I just wanted to do it before election before people think I'm someone who's bitter about whatever the result it.
And yes, I will be bitter if Trump doesn't win. Because whoever anyone supports is irrelevant to any points they're making. But that's something that's better for some other topic.
Bernie wasn't openly calling for UBI. Trump has implemented it with the wuflu bills.
I just want to die :)
I didn't say that. I said Trump is far left in a sane world and objectively more left economically than campaign Bernie. Every modern POTUS has been more left than the last. The American right died at Pearl Harbor. Trump appears to be turning his guns on the Cathedral directly, which is a pleasant surprise.
Covid relief isn't UBI...?
