  • I don’t worship youtubers, I’m just not braindead enough to deny reality because of my myopic personal preferences. This guy has a 110 million subscribers and his every video has been getting millions of views for well over a decade now. He is one of the biggest and most well known people on the internet, and he has a lot of influence because of it. When this guy puts out a video about a cause, his point of view is going to introduced and adopted by a lot of people. In this case, he put out a video on a cause that people in here advocate for, and they’re pleasantly surprised that their views are getting this kind of exposure. You not understanding this obvious nuance is your problem, not anybody else’s.


  • “I’m incapable of understanding the nuance of someone with a lot of influence speaking out in favor of a topic I advocate for because I’m ignorant and judgemental towards certain activities and people who make a living off of them”

    Yeah okay, bud. Good mentality you got there. But you’re right, this conversation is pointless, so let’s end it here.








  • That would literally be the best this to happen to this god forsaken platform. There isn’t nearly enough users, diversity of content, or sheer volume to make this place a genuine alternative to Reddit. Getting an influx from a huge youtuber like him means this place might finally get active communities for mainstream hobbies like sports, music, and videogames.







  • I literally lived in two countries that experienced both, and I’m telling you that Iran has been worse in both countries for far longer. Maybe America is worse elsewhere, but in Iraq and Syria? Iran is very hard to top. In Syria’s case, there’s more competition for that top spot because Turkey, Israel, and Russia all have really good cases for being the worst imperialist force in the country’s recent history because they’ve all done just so much damage.


  • And I’m telling you that you lack perspective. I actually lived in both regions. I’ve seen this first hand. Trump is trying to speed run us into an autocracy, but Iran is way past that point. If a regime change happened and the current theocracy was replaced by a flawed autocracy, that would still be seen as a big improvement by many Iranians.
