They're going after facts and topics now. I don't know how Patrick Bacon could've changed this quote more without it sounding retarded or long winded. Most of the similar language is technical language.
"In the U.S., because the interest rate is fixed, homeowners get to lock in their monthly loan payments for 30 years, even if inflation or interest rates rise. On top of that, because most U.S. mortgages can be paid off early with no penalty, homeowners can refinance at a lower interest rate if rates decline."
Well, unfortunately it sounded familiar to me because it's lifted nearly verbatim from this New York Times article titled "A 30-Year Trap: The Problem With America’s Weird Mortgages." Here's the line:
"Because the interest rate is fixed, homeowners get to freeze their monthly loan payments for as much as three decades, even if inflation picks up or interest rates rise. But because most U.S. mortgages can be paid off early with no penalty, homeowners can simply refinance if rates go down."
I don't know about the other guys he accused, but the Internet Historian one is a true mask off moment. Because IH (or one of his staff more likely) did straight up plagiarize that article, but it was both settled and fixed forever ago by the two relevant parties to their obvious satisfactory and done with.
Dragging it up now can only serve the purpose of trying to cancel him by showing that there is never any forgiveness for any wrong doing. You mess up once, you must constantly prostrate and beg forgiveness from society forever. The mob must be allowed to pillory and draw their blood from your body, and only then may you return to civilization as a lower class.
But that only works because he is considered "right-wing" which is the only reason why his other videos were mentioned, to poison the well with a verboten label. Because he in the same video criticizes low effort commentary "videos" despite his good buddy Hasan being the literal epitome of such a thing.
Yeah they really weren't even trying to hide it anymore. So many lefties were just outright saying "I always hated IH and now I have a legitimate reason to say so." Motherfuckers never got over him making fun of furries and Dashcon, I guess.
That's interesting... IH is at superstar level on Youtube though, so I doubt those people even amount to 5% of his audience.
Yeah, but for a while after the video came out, and probably going forward for a while on, every video had its comment section filled with "When are you going to admit to plagiarizing, I bet you stole this too!" on top of the probably same spam on Twitter.
Its not about convincing Hbomber's audience. Its about sending them out to repeat the lie enough times that it becomes true to an unsuspecting normie who sees the dogpile everywhere. A literal classic example of "cancel culture" in action.
I'm on Team IH.
Pretty sure I saw a response from the author/editor of the publication in question suggesting they'd never had any communication with IH whatsoever.
Someone from KF messaged the author of the article and basically confirmed this. They also mentioned the copywrite to the article isn't even owned by them but by MentalFloss' parent company.
First I've heard of this, and if so then I'll change my opinion to team IH too.
But I didn't really hold it against him to begin with, simply because it was long since settled and creditted.
he threw IH in there to avoid getting flak for going after the fag.
Pretty much the only person out of that hodgepodge of literal who would be iilluminaughtii. Of course, I was already well aware of her basically ripping off other Youtubers like a year ago when I found out she moved into the MLM expose scene to... pretty much make money and nothing else. Then there was the Legal Eagle drama where she tried to accuse them of "stealing her style" over a basic video effect which is ironic. After that came a bunch of allegations of being basically being a massive cunt and that effectively sealed her fate.
This is what really fucking gets me. Two adults have a disagreement but manage to resolve things without turning it into a public spectacle. Meanwhile, you have leftists losers demanding IH be punished... somehow. They haven't actually said what IH should do to make up for his transgression because, as we all know, the left don't actually care about forgiveness but rather having power and leverage over people.
From what I've seen, people are calling him a NOT-SEE because he dared to hang out with Jontron on at least one occasion.
Wait until they find out he went on EFAP to spend well over 5 hours talking shit on The Last of Us 2.
Hbomberguy has managed to avoid getting cancelled by leftists despite his past as a member of the metokur trolling group. Not sure why his plagiarism video is being treated as some eye-opening event, but I'm partially convinced that he is involved with federal agencies in some capacity. AOC and Chelsea Manning appearing in his Mermaids charity stream back in 2019 were huge red-flags that should have aroused suspicion.
That tranny Philosophy Tube got promoted by the UK government to shill the vaxx. It wouldn't surprise me if HomoBlowerGuy also glowed.
Well, shit, that's eye-opening...
Troll remorse is a hell of a thing.
I don't want to live in a world where you can't express an idea because someone else expressed it first and called dibs. Actual plagiarism sucks, but how are you supposed to be able to avoid reiterating something someone else said in a world where literally EVERYONE is pouring their stream of consciousness into the void for archival?
What a lazy faggot
It sounds like he and the NYT are warming up "abolish fixed rates
to kill whiteyfor equity" in the bullpen.Fixed rates are an absolute win for the consumer, those people the left pretends to care about.
Like virtually every label leftists say they support, there's an implied "non-white" clause.
Negative. Financing home ownership at all has been a disaster and inflated the price of a basic commodity.
The only time I ever watched Hbomber was secondhand when Mauler shit all over his Dark Souls 2 takes over the course of 10 hours
Repeating a fact isn't plagiarism.
Why the fuck do you care what that faggot thinks about anything? Why are you even watching someone who wants you dead?
Hbomberfag is a cunt but this is youtube not a PhD dissertation. Who gives a shit.
Plagarism isn't just stealing.
Plagarism is taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own.
If you don't want to be a plagarist, steal the work and then credit the author. That's all you have to do. You can still steal (they can't stop you), and as long as you reference the work, they can't take your money unless what you stole was copyrighted.
So just don't pretend that you created something you didn't. You can make the tiniest text footnote, everyone does this, and you'll be in the clear.
So copy away, friends.
With the sheer volume of "react" style content on Youtube I could not possibly care less if someone lifts an article. Did the man make no transformative content around this? HGbomberguy is a massive piece of shit though. That I do care about.
