Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • I was raised in broken family, my partner in one held by force.

    We both have mental problems, but mine are significantly lower…and mostly tied to my mother’s alcoholism.

    She, meanwhile, went through hell and tried her best to avoid being at home for more time than she was asleep. Took every additional class, participated in every after school activity and spent time hangin with everyone she could stomavh just to not be home.

    My worst memory is the defeat on my mother’s face when she couldn’t find job for a long time n-th time.

    Hers are screaming matches between parents bordering violence.

    Yeah, screw holding marriage together.

    He never was. When teenagers used to scream n-word for shit and giggles, he was monetarily incentivised to do stupid stunts. No belief behind, other than to have a laugh and jump in views. When he crossed the line and was critised for it, he backed off, apologised and learned from his mistakes.

    But people love draging it out each and every single time he does anything, be it good or bad.


  • In short, a bunch of years ago he did some stunts for publicity that put him in a bad light. And don’t get me wrong, he deserved criticism back then. But it quickly became apparent that it wasn’t his view, but just that - a publicity stunt, something to drive algorithms etc, and he also apologised for it and what’s more important, didn’t make similiar shit afterwards.

    So no, not a nazi. In the past you could call him edgy or something, alas even that doesn’t really fit as he didn’t do this all the time. But people saw he is popular and saw what he did and decided that no matter that these were one-offs, he must be a nazi, secretely harbor a shrinet o Hitler and all that.


  • Let’s slightly overanalyse.

    Men overall don’t have to sweat it with relationships. If it works, it works, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

    Women don’t have that. Other women tend to be mean for no reason, or fish for gossip. Men overall aim for their asses or relatinship. And then there is also social expectation of them not being “easy” and behaving in dignified way.

    So yeah. Men have socialisation set on easy, women on hard.

    Edit: And I am pulling a lot of this outta my ass, deal with it B)

    Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.

    Edit: I noticed it’s not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.


  • Dude, eff that, influx of bullshit from reddit would be nowhere near. It wouldn’t be problem of bullshit. It would be problem of scale. Remember how instances panicked and had to grow at neckbreaking speed during reddit exodus?

    This would be bigger, while at the same time having a lot less long-term benefits because a lot of his audience wouldn’t stick around.

    Older gens I’d say. My mother had afriend who always came in without knockin and just…vibed. Like they suddenly materialised in kitchen and talked while eating or materialised near table and drank coffee.

    My partner’s mother had someone like that too.

    Meanwhile I am having a meltdown if someone tries the door before knocking (they are always locked anyway)
