YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money off his channel — The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star

  • Oh joy, rape apologia, what a wonderful thing to wake up to in the morning. 🤦

  • That's why it's so important to just build your own website and to stop being dependent on other people for anything you have.

    • Upvoting a factually incorrect comment because it sounds nice, and downvoting a factually correct comment because it sounds bad.

  • It still happens here, especially on .world.

  • But I thought downvotes didn't matter. 🤷

    I thought you guys said they're both a necessary tool for community regulation and completely irrelevant to normal conversation on Lemmy.

    Yet here we are.

    • Now everyone must pay for someone else's vandalism.

  • Or they could just find the vandal with the security cameras they no doubt installed in every single hallway to protect themselves against their own customers should they have to go to court 🤷

    Oh wait, I forgot, we're trapped in tyranny.

    • You are diagnosed with cancer but have no money for treatment. You've no option but to steal the money somehow. What's your plan?

  • Yeah. Yeah...

  • That's literally exactly what it means 🤣

  • Meh. Fuck the police

    • A.I. is like a calculator in your pocket for writing and art

  • That's a bad thing.

    • Any time you're told that the weak and vulnerable are responsible for how bad things are, rather than the rich and powerful, you're being lied to

    Jump

  • He's heavily pro-establishment and is of the type that'll defend it at any cost which makes me wonder if he isn't being paid to shill just like what would happen on Reddit. Though then again, he could genuinely feel that the way things are is to his benefit. He could be the type that looks at his neighbors walking down the street and thinks they are good servants for him.

    I legit didn't realize there were a lot of people who genuinely are okay with and want the authoritarian nightmare we're stuck in until I started seeing people like him on Lemmy, point in fact. He's not the only pro status quo concern troll I've seen on here. Far from it.

    People like him are creepy af.

  • Don't mind him, he's just one of those types who thinks it's okay his neighbors are exploited and abused by society all their lives so they'll make his burgers for him.

    Jump

  • Actually no, this tracks. This guy is a specific example of another working class person actively fighting to protect the exploitative system -- check his post history -- proving it's not just the rich doing it.

    🤔 Though this is the second thread I found him in today, and not the first time I've seen him do it on Lemmy. I do wonder if he's a genuine loyalist or if he was hired by someone to come in here and concern troll for the ruling class.

    Jump

  • Not always. Half of these putzes openly fight to protect the system because they benefit from exploiting their neighbors, too.

    EDIT: Here they come right now lol

    • bit of a hot take

    Jump

  • No you don't. You're sitting on the toilet at work arguing with me on Lemmy. You're just as naughty as the rest of us.

    You're just as disaffected as everyone else and the day you realize it's because the system you're defending is the problem is the day everything will make sense to you.

    I don't even use Youtube. It's too full of ads. Come on. If you're gonna lay out troll bait to kill time, you could at least try to throw out something halfway decent.

  • Then you're as hopelessly ignorant and unempathetic as you accuse everyone else of being when they demand justice and change.

  • You really think the rest of us aren't? Who am I kidding, of course you do.

    Jump

  • Yet they seem effective enough that you are regarding them as a threat, hence you're investing all that time and energy you're supposedly putting toward innovation into arguing with people like me on the Internet.

    Jump

  • Definitely something you genuinely care about and totally not you looking to push pro status quo bullshit.
