Rumiko Takahashi climbed to the top of the industry over the corpses of her rivals.
She was a relentless artistic machine that won a battle of attrition while others could not perform as consistently or as often and burned out.
She earned her place as the top selling mangaka of her generation through blood, sweat and tears.
It is worth noting that Mercedes was very politically outspoken and took a pro GamerGate position (i.e. anti lying media) when that was very uncool. She was MAGA before that really became a thing.
Nick Rekieta was openly critical of the judges in his state and local, and had a huge audience. He was the most successful Youtuber (by Superchats) by quite a long way. His livestreams were consistently huge; like, bigger than CNN huge.
His channel was dedicated to educating normies and showing them the seamy side of lawfare cases. He reached his peak somewhere around the Depp vs Herd trial.
Rekieta inspired a hundred Lawtube pretenders, including Viva / Barnes, who took a bunch of inspiration from his success. I don't know if Barnes would have gotten into YouTube without seeing how successful Rackets channel became.
Both Mercedes and Nick Rekieta were involved in swinging sex stuff. Both were personally using drugs. Both were targets of the establishment.
I am not trying to justify anything that Nick has done wrong, but be aware that these are the tactics that the establishment uses to destroy people who call them out. They tried this exact shit on Trump; it is just that Trump is justifiably paranoid and has had a team of PAs keep his appointment diary hour by hour for literally years.
And remember, knowing is half the battle.
America's favorite rapist.
I'll give you the short, short version from memory.
The Baby-Daddy of Mercedes' little girl had been having a bitter custody dispute with Mercedes. Things are ongoing ang acrimonious.
BD phones the cops and makes a bunch of reports about Mercedes and her partner using the little girl in porn or some such. Child abuse.
The cops bust in and search the place. They find enough meth for personal use and a legal hand gun.
At that point they use some bullshit interpretation of the law that because there is a gun AND drugs then it is a serious gun crime. This is exactly the play they used on Nick Rikieta; right down to the pissed off ex making reports.
The child (about age 4) was turned over to the father. Mercedes and her partner were thrown in jail on the gun charge while the police and prosecution thought up something to charge them with and to build a case.
It has been six years.
Most of the "evidence" is testimony of the daughter, who has been coached for six years now.
IMNHO, Mercedes probably deserves a drug possession charge and a good slap for being stupid enough to keep drugs in her home while she is fighting with her ex.
Feel free to correct me where I am wrong.
Who was fucking FOUR years old when the alleged offenses happened.
Even if Mercedes and her husband get vindicated in court, the damage done to their relationship with the child is irreversible.
That Iranian lady was such a very terrible shot, too.
Mama Susan should have met her end by being eaten alive by ants.
With big data to establish profiles, AB testing and now neural networks and convolutional training, YouTube is in the perfect spot to direct the beliefs and attitudes of normies. The just have no idea, and they just consooom. I worry for the future.
Hmm i did everything on my own. Script, getting footage, editing, troubleshooting/research, voicing.
That is smart. Low overhead and it allows you to trade your time for skills. You probably learned a lot.
Hiring an editor requires that your channel have the revenue to support that, but the trade off is that your videos can come out more often to tickle the algorithm.
Livestreams don't grow the channel. Highly polished videos don't grow the channel unless they are evergreen. Daily content of slightly longer than ten minutes might as long as it hits the keyword sweet spots.
Channels that grow have one person doing the scripts and facing the camera while one or two editors make it look good and keep the release rate regular. Always chasing trends or the current thing. All of the content aging out after two weeks or so.
It must be a soul crushing treadmill.
I want you to know that I really like video game boobas. I apricate your work. Uh. In principle.
Seriously, the country is literally being run by foreign nationals with dual citizenship.
Well, kudos to you for having a go. Most people don't even try.
Few, high quality videos is not favored by the algorithm. Which sucks dick, but no one asked me.
Why would a skilled therapist take less care with EMDR than with hypnosis? I agree that it is powerful and easy to screw up, but so is every tool worth using.
EMDR aims to break the emotional links between emotion and memory. If it is done wrong it can cause damage and result in misplaced emotion and much more.
How much Theory of Mind have you read? It is fairly big field.
One branch of Theory of the Mind is that your mind is made up of a number of neural systems that hand off to each other as environment and demand requires.
For example, you are driving a car. You are daydreaming about a funny meme video that you watched. When you next start paying attention you have driven home.
This theory of the mind proposes that your brain has a set of neurons that are associated with driving and they take over when you are driving. Without direction (a correct hand-off and oversight) they just do what they are good at; You drive home.
Hypnosis is deep relaxation where no one agent is in charge. All agents are listening. If the subject is relaxed enough and comfortable enough then they will accept verbal direction as though it were a hand off and / or oversight from another agent. They trust the external voice as though it were an internal voice.
That said, the agents can still disagree. That is why you can't hypnotize someone to kill their mother, unless they were already going to do that. The hypnosis can be discarded by the other agents as wrong or useless.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy also uses agent theory, but it uses the subject's voice to give direction to the other agents and to shape the way handovers and / or oversight happen all the time.
Hypnosis happens only while sitting in the chair under direction of the hypnotist. CBT happens as long as the subject continues to direct their thinking and retrain their neural networks. They are literally reprioritizing the connections between neurons by consistent retraining.
EMDR, Hypnosis and CBT are all tools a therapist can use. They should use the right tool for the job.
But seriously, no session of hypnosis is going to change the fundamental identity of a subject. You can't stop a person from being a hard core feminist anymore than you can turn them into a frothing fascist. There are limits and it requires cooperation. The more alien and extreme the script, the more the other agents of the mind will reject it.
The ancient Greeks were right about women.
Get a passport, bro.
Women have a drive to allocate resources according to need.
That works great for babies and your elderly uncle Steve. It doesn't scale past extended family. It isn't at all a good approach for creating wealth to distribute.
In this modern age women have no incentive to be self aware. I would argue that they teeter on the edge of sapience.
YT is a rough career choice. I look at Kneon and Geeky Sparkles from Clownfish TV. They work their ass off.
Kneon is a very talented comic artist and Geeky runs a whole news website, writing articles and managing a stable of other writers. They are only just doing okay for the work they put in. Despite being one of the best, most consistent news aggregators for pop culture and having regular scoops on the Disney Parks, they still have side hustles to pay the rent.
If they had put that much effort into (say) a plumbing business, they would be millionaires.
AKA, intensive hypnosis.
Hypnosis doesn't work like that. If you want we can discuss why. It is one of the tools in the box available, but it isn't particularly useful in this case because it is passive. A better approach would be to use EMDR to desensitize the feminist to their traumatic baggage, then have them participate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to deliberately retrain their thinking. CBT is hard work.
I agree that deprogramming is required. Most feminists have taken on "feminism" as part of their core identity. It will take intensive, skilled therapy to change their mind, and they will have to work their ass off for years.
Alternatives include tossing them into a survival situation and letting the feminist almost starve to death or something similarly high stress. Reality is non-negotiable to someone on the run from Congolese death squads or Boko Haram rapists or whatever. After that for a year or two they can reconsider their place in the world and reassess who they are; Probably with therapy.
Holy shit Leader, stop bogarting the keys to the time machine!
Seriously the way you eat Szechuan sauce is almost a fetish! Get help.
This is all depressing, but there is some hope to hang onto. It's important to understand that Gamergate failed.
It really didn't. Gamergate lead directly to the Adpocolypse. The entire advertising rate for gaming dropped through the floor.
YouTube would not monetize game videos that were not Roblox or Fortnight. Roblox and Fortnight got more and more popular (subscribe to Pewdiepie) and at least a couple high budget AAA games failed, including Battlefield 1; largely because Native Advertising (worth hundreds of millions of dollars) evaporated overnight.
The entire industry of gaming journalism and its partner, game industry advertising, had the rug pulled out from underneath it. A little down the track media empires were no longer profitable and got sold. Some of them twice.
Calling Gamergate a failure first requires someone to lie about what it was, then lie about what happened next. ... so standard practice for Salon.
You are not wrong. I have first hand accounts of how all of the dog-ugly guards at a specific immigrant detention center were banging the detainees.
A bunch of them got married to these guys; who divorced them as soon as they got their Australian citizenship.
There basically wasn't a single female guard who wasn't abusing her position of power to get hotter, younger dick than she would otherwise be able to have.
I have heard similar stories from overseas prisons; but that I can't verify with a first hand account from a trusted source.
Fuck off. It wasn't a "purity spiral". The identarian left used exactly the same method by which the Neo-Marxist faggots took over AAA gaming. I'll spell it out for you.
- Call for inclusion.
- Broaden the agenda. "We must address structural racism"; "We should hear from diverse voices!" etc.
- Demand concessions be made within the group. "We need a womens' officer to ensure equitable impact of decisions."
- Invite their friends; use numbers to establish consensus. "Lets hire more strong women. We don't want to exclude minorities!"
- Steadily seize positions of power through empire-building, campaigns of whispers, me-too tactics and unabashed use of realpolitik.
- Dictate the agenda.
Lack of gatekeeping caused the Occupy movement to fail. NOT excessive gatekeeping.
That you cant tell the difference shows that you are a massive faggot.
Racism is a health crisis!
Obviously fiery but peaceful protests are doing good!
Does your log cabin run OpenBSD?
He cocked the hammer on a single action revolver. Then he shot her through the chest, through the spine, and then into her husband.
I thought you Indians loved overcrowding?
I think that Feminisms is a bigger problem than troonery. Feminists have risen to become literally the dominant political paradigm; while M-F troons castrate themselves to take advantage of the status and privileges of women.
Troons are self destructive and will be soundly defeated when normies work out what they do to kids. Feminists have been around for 150 years and are only growing in power.
