Meh if you want a good critique of the Bolsheviks by somebody who actually was an old Bolshevik check out the book We instead.

Let skills atrophy, help contribute to downfall of society.

Lol

I never got in to deep on his personal stances on certain issues, I thought the book propaganda was good though. I think lots of thinkers of his time had bad stances on Isreal though.

Not to mention quakers often gave communists spaces to organise in and hold meetings.

There have been Christian anarchists. Jacques Ellul comes to mind. His book on propaganda is pretty good.

What a coward

The world was always a shitty place, we are definitely facing new and frightening challenges but they can be overcome it will just be difficult.

Yeah I feel really bad for the guy.

Yeah lol

Sorry I just got reminded of that somehow

It’s fine I’m not here asking people for forgiveness or for people to defend my shitty behaviour which I engaged in the real world. That’s why I find it strange that people will defend pewdiepie when he did the same shit and monetised it and did it all behind the safety of a first world country and a keyboard.

Ok? Why are you grouping a whole bunch of people together for something I did, I’m not speaking on behalf of a community…..

Also I find it weird that people would ask my why I would admit this. It just says to me that some people are willing to hide the shitty stuff they do instead of confronting it and actually dealing with the source of the problem.

Because it is different and I’m not saying what I did was ok. I’m using it as an example of problematic behaviour that I exhibited in the real world. I’m not proud of what I did but I also can’t change the past. I could also be a coward and pretend I’m some kind of saint which I’m not. I’m not defending my what I did I’m also not defending people using the n word. As I said it’s something I did and something I knew was wrong the second I did it but as I said earlier I was ready to accept the social consequences of what I said to somebody.

Anyways I used the story of some very bad behaviour I engaged in as an anecdote to show that when people act shitty in real life there are actual consequences mainly the possibility of getting punched. The person I said it to and his friends decided not to beat the shit out of me and I’m greatful for that because I would of deserved it.

I don’t go around using the n word and I have no idea why the fuck I said it but yeah two days of drinking not sleeping will do weird shit to your brain.

No not as an insult. Just I got called it and I just said it back as I said no hard r. I was intoxicated and going through some mental health shit. I’m admitting it to prove a point that it’s very different when you say shit online then when you say it in real life, I would could of been hurt and would of deserved it as well but I talked to the guy I said it to and it turned out ok. I also didn’t monetise me using the word to an audience of prepubescent children.

Since your a comedy connoisseur surely you also know that there are jokes that comedians will often tell each other but often aren’t done in public. Here is a famous example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_OQfYnmnE-Q

Edgy comedians often perform in night clubs and generally to older audiences who you can expect to take the nuances of edgy jokes. I agree that if you go and watch an edgy comedian in a comedy club and don’t like the performance that’s on you.

Hey I enjoy stand up comedy as well and I’m actually pretty good comic, and for the record I’m not a cancel culture guy, but I can still believe that pewdiepie is a bit of an asshole and that artists do have a certain social responsibility after all life imitates art.

I mean I have said the n word (no hard r) in the last 10 years but I said it to a black persons face it’s not the proudest moment of my life probably peak cringe and it ruined my night. I was also ready to take all the social backlash that comes with it (getting punched in the face or worse.) I don’t hate pewdiepie but there is a reason why edgy humor was usually on late at night on tv and there were still limits to what you could say and do.

The internet kinda blew all that shit out the water and looking back idk if it was a good thing.

If thats the bar…..

Yeah I mean I don’t monetise my problematic behaviour though. Or entertain little kids for cash so I guess as a public figure you maybe do have a different social responsibility than just a normal citizen.
