Funny Events of the "Woke" world

Right, but that's capital punishment. Miss Trunchbull is merely scared by Matilda posing as a ghost of her murder victim, causing her to abandon the house and Magnus' inheritance-- both of which she stole anyway. Everything that happens to her is damn mild by literature standards-- even children's literature.

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority on this. You claim it as fair, I see it as torturing someone just because they tortured you.

Anyway, I dont know about your claims on children's literature. I've had to read a lot of it with my kids and nothing comes close to Dahl. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'll keep an eye out

Not that this is funny or even wrong, seeing any post like that hit around 500 comments in 3 hours is a sure sign the comments section is gonna be a shitshow better off avoided. (Pro tip, that!).

Yeah, I was working for refugees in Athens (and against local neonazis) when a couple of greek migrants were killed by racists abroad (in Germany if I remember well). I was shocked by the vertiginous irony of societies reveling in xenophobia when their own history is full of migrations and xenophobia met elsewhere. There are ways it makes sense (from variations on "our master race should rule here and abroad" to variations on "the people who left our country are traitors anyway"), but still, most people simply don't connect the dots between their empathy for situation A to their lack of empathy for absolutely analogue situation B.

TLDR: Those Tik Tok pocket staffs don't work. They don't have enough force, and the material science is likely not there to make it work.

I am just going to point out that most countries leading up to WW2 banned Jews from being able to immigrate, including as a refugee.

Something something history repeating

Jon Stewart should not debate people. It's not going to work. Even if he wins, and gets that person to admit that more guns equal more suicides, homicides, and gun deaths and that more gun regulations would lead to safer streets. The gun lobby will never back down. He should instead quit wasting his breath, and focus on getting Democratic congress members elected.

Now that I think of it, a better call would have been donning a cloth mask and keeping surgical masks to healthcare professionals, but it's America a country built on individualism so while it would have worked better than gaslighting Americans about masks, it wouldn't have eliminated the mask shortage at that time.

This week in Woke World.

Adam Sessler refuses to apologise for being a bit racist towards Jrpg games because MAGA Chuds then blames an IGN journalist who called him out for he problems in online culture.........

No you read that right,

There's something ''funny'' about the left wing streamer Hasan. I'm not all too familiar with the guy but recently he did a bit of an oopsie regarding Hogwarts Legacy. That itself is fairly boring, but I noticed several left wing youtubers treating him with kids glove and assuring us he was just a good guy with one bad take.

Now the only other thing I know this Hasan guy from is his stance regarding Ukraine which can be described as very Russophilic. To the point he described the theft of Crimea as ''a completely justified fucking act''

Isn't that a view that should get you canceled and blacklisted by any lefty worth his or her salt? Because if you go to bat Putin's Russia than any leftist or moral credentials one might hold suddenly collapse. I don't care what Hasan does, or doesn't think about Hogwards legacy, but I do care about ''breadtube'' not immediately ousting him from their ranks after his views on Ukraine and Russia became public. He's not ''a good guy with one bad take''.

It's impressive just how much of an actor Hasan is doing most of this just for money and to get laid.

Oh and if you think I'm joking this was pre new age left wing Hasan


Yeh the dude just swings to whatever he thinks the present main cultural desire or trend is that will make him seem most appealing.

The grand irony of it all being the "Meat headed dude bro" types apparently saw right through it and rejected him with him only seeing middling success at best. The re-invented Hasan as an "Oh so sensitive empathatic left win for the people activist" has become one of the biggest names in the "Breadtube" space.

Pewpew is the end goal of the discussion, the world be damned, and everything is dismissed or cherry picked depending solely on whether it legitimizes pewpew or not. Because no pewpew no fun. Also real men pewpew and no pewpew no real men. End of line.

So yes, these debates are pointless. As always with conservatives, these "academic" discussions operate on a level they have absolutely no interest in, failure to realize this and to adjust expectations simply leads to a spectacular waste of time.

Who is this clown shoe that walks like a man and why should I care? Why indeed should anyone care?

Who is this clown shoe that walks like a man and why should I care? Why indeed should anyone care?

He used to be a host on G4 or something. Eventually he left because he got sick of the toxicity of gamer culture, and gamers of course rushed to prove him right. He hasn't been on TV in like a decade, and they're still butthurt over this guy.

 

[TheMysteriousGX]

I mean, his shit on G4, in hindsight, was horrifically racist, sexist, transphobic, etc, which he definitely leaned into if not being the cause at the time. Whole situation's hilarious to me because Gamers™️ used to try and pretend it wasn't, but a SquareEnix interview about Yoshi P talking about how JRPG used to be a dirty word got people to actually look at the old reviews and holy shit the stuff we used to let slide

I don't know anything about this Hasan guy (so much of the world seems to revolve around YouTube now, crazy times!) but those meat headed dude bro types were giving Alex Jones money for Muscle Poop and Brain Cyber Animal Dog or whatever weird supplements he was pushing. They are not connoisseurs of fraudulent junk.

He's also he guy who appeared alongside Jim Sterling and said how he supported Doxxing people if they insulted him in video games.

You know totally not a whole new level of toxicity.
