This is a really bad take.

This is the US government going after independent creators.

Defeat fedbois with this one simple trick!

Tenet itself, and Lauren Chen were also banned. Lauren and her husband were raided. The FBI wants to "talk" to everyone involved.

This continues to stink.

You think they'll do it? You think they'll remove Tim Pool before the election? Love him or hate him, he's massive and successful, and good at staying within terms of use. He would be a massive canary. So far they seem to only be going after the smaller guys, but they could be working up to it.

This feels like the Crowder bullshit all over again, which felt like the Alex Jones bullshit all over again, which felt like the Milo shit all over again, which felt like...

I hate it all. Free speech, my ass. Fuck our gay government.

*Cackles for no reason whatsoever*

instead of the reality of her being a drunken, incompetent whore.

Hey now, that's unfair to like 90% of drunken incompetent whores...

Shit, she's terrible.

This is the pedojeet, so nothing of value was lost. Downvote, report, ignore.

Well okay.

First time I heard his name was a Jew saying it...and I still thought he was being antisemitic.

That...is someone you don't let around your kids. Or anyone's kids. Or pets.

Peterson is such an absolute tool. He wasn't always, but he certainly is now.

Also, good for Lauren. Even something as tame as that is still a tough stance to take. Also, saying anti-Zionism doesn't have to be antisemitic is based.

I still don't think that was the reason she was targeted, though. Also, this all happened before that post anyway, although she might have been saying similar things earlier.

As I said in another thread, I think she was targeted because she's not as big as some of the others, but is an OG from back in the day, and is friends with many of the bigger names. She's perfect to try to get her friends onboard (and no, that doesn't mean she's complicit, and she might have even thought she was giving them a good opportunity.) It's her connections to other people that are valuable, not her stance on the Israel making her a target. Although it could be some of both, of course.

now wokies are upset that someone...looks normal?

"We hate unrealistic beauty standards! Unless we can use them to call a cute woman we disagree with ugly because she's not gorgeous!"

Off topic, but looks quite a bit like the room from RoboCop.

I hated Green Day before it was cool.

I believe the father and the lead prosecutor in the case knew each other somehow too.

That does sound vaguely familiar, although it's been a long time since I checked into any of that. What a mess, though.

I don't think she was the prime target. She was probably used because she runs in the same circles, and is on friendly terms with, a lot of the bigger people, since she goes way back. She's OG, but not massive; she's the perfect target.

What a rebuttal. Why are you even wasting your time answering me?

To point out you're sketchy as fuck, and don't seem to even be 'one of us.' You're not being honest.

I never tried to "take over the sub", that's a lie you just fabricated.

I merely complained about how the sole moderator can't properly moderate his own shit.

To the admins. Demanding new mods.

Tomato, tomato, basically. You want to drastically change this sub...while not actually engaging here. That's really suspicious behavior. Not sure what your deal is, but you're either absolutely retarded, or not operating in good faith.

Nah, she might actually be a chinese plant.

You've posted here nine times in your account's one year lifespan...while trying to take over this sub in /Meta multiple times, and otherwise stir up shit.

Now you're here to say Lauren Chen is a spy?

If anything, that just makes me suspect you're an (inept) fed or something.

Yup. This is obviously an attack, on them, and not from Russia.

Which just goes to show the story is not what they're trying to say, and these people were targets of an attack, not targets of a con to spread propaganda for a foreign power. This is character assassination; they were never asked to do anything, and my have been tangentially connected to foreigners. And the US government was either directly involved, or at the very least let it happen and continue to happen, until the most convenient time to "expose" them.

Again, character assassination, and an attack on all independent media.

Intel agencies do this sorta thing for sure. Financially support a foreign group then reveal its foreign money to discredit them.

They were also using FISA to spy on everyone, apparently.

He's astonishingly bland. People hate on Tim Pool, but Pool's content is downright genius, and Pool is super charismatic, compared to Benny Johnson.

I don't like to hate, and I'm not a "hater" per se, but that's my impression, the few times I've stumbled across Benny's content. He doesn't add anything, anyone else could do what he does, and likely do it better. No clue how he got so big; he doesn't seem to bring anything to the table.

"Kamala is so brat" - Putin, probably.

He also likes how joyful she is.

I'm still not even convinced any of this is true. I'm not ready to throw Chen under the bus, although I agree she's most likely to be involved, if there's anything to be involved in.

Also, I think if there's something at all, it was likely Russians working for the US. If the allegations are true, it's weird they tried so hard to get Tim Pool and the like onboard, but didn't ask him for anything. If there's even half-truths here, the whole thing was still a massive setup. They potentially created a phony organization, just to try to ruin independent political commentary, and big names like Tim Pool specifically.

This is a censorship op, no questions about it.

YouTube is very weird when it comes to how it handles that.

If you go to https://www.youtube.com/@watchTENET you get "404 Not Found" and the "This page isn't available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else" message you mentioned.

If you go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdmJ9EcVd6wuFU_DHklYZFw (their longer link, see archive here for proof) you get "This channel was removed because it violated our Community Guidelines."

Same can be done for Lauren. YT claims both were removed for violated but, again, I think their messaging system can be really broken sometimes too.

Beanie, Benny & Rubin are bitches but I still kinda like Lauren, Tayler Hansen is a great hardcore reporter though- sucks for him. I have no real feelings on Matt.

I think Beanie is a net positive, although I don't enjoy his content. I think Benny adds nothing to his content, and is a leach who somehow made it big. I think Rubin is somewhere in the middle; not as useful as Tim, and has some really bad takes and is untrustworthy, but still has some useful lib-busting content sometimes. Lauren has flipflopped too much, but isn't the worst either. Not familiar with Tayler, but seemed good from the little I've seen.

Obviously.
