The interview is admittedly terrible, but holy shit the comments are so rage inducing.
Yeah, they didn't do amazing. Particularly the point where the Fox news guy said "but You CHosE TO worK aNd CaN qUiT at ANY TIME". That's the perfect time to respond with "if I do I go starving and homeless, that's the fucking point", but they just... didn't.
"Sure I'm able to quit anytime I like, but let's consider then what my options would be: 1.) starvation 2.) homelessness 3.) prison, because we criminalize number 2. Get what I'm saying?"
Like I said in the megathread, when the host tried to bait them into a gotcha over them being a dog walker I would have said, "so what? what's wrong with that? why do you hate working class people? I thought this channel was a break from liberal elitism but I guess I was wrong".
Love when I get told "don't stereotype autistic people" as an autistic person speaking from experience.
Unsurprisingly the thread on /c/the_dunk_tank is being ableist too.
Love it when "leftists" are ableist then double down when being called out on it.
The comments on YouTube are equally awful
I love how r/4chan and r/greentext are on r/all and their posts are how I found out about this
I dont even think you can filter r/all lmao
I didn't think they did the absolute worst but it could have been much better. A lot of people are talking about how this person was cringe or did bad or whatever. I mean they didn't do great, I think the pressure got to them a bit.
But holy shit the news presenter is even more cringe. The bad talking points. The smugness from a guy who gets paid millions to shit on poor people. It's just so bad.
I thought the first bit they were talking about was pretty good, but they let themselves get dragged into talking about irrelevant shit by the Fox host, and avoiding those pitfalls is a media skill not everyone has. Ideally instead of talking about themselves they should have focused on being forced to work by the wage system and the massive inequality that's created by it.
Correct. This is because the mod is not familiar with debating people. It's a skill, controlling the conversation. The presenter has a lot of experience with it and the mod does not. They got steamrolled and didn't realize that this was adversarial. You can see it as they go on. They take the questions as authentic and allow the host to completely create the narrative he wants.
The smugness from a guy who gets paid millions to shit on poor people.
It's moot because boomers would never see it but I'd attack them on this. Call them a smug elitist liberal who gets off on pretending to be working class, much like the channel at large. Being called a liberal is one of the few things that destroys shameless chuds.
Much love to comrade mod
Well, in this debacle specifically. But overall the mods are also on some "anti-tankie" bs.
neurodiverse
What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
