I had the misfortune of listening to Carl Benjamin ranting about Muslims before - believe me, the guy is bigoted as heck.

The stupidity and virtual illiteracy is just the cherry on top of this shit sundae

Basically he's willfully ignorant and an awful bigot.

unfortunately, a lot of ignorant people will be caught up in the alt-rights lies, which is a big problem that needs to be solved. as they are just ignorant instead of malicious and is just parroting what the alt-right feeds them

Yes, but the point is that Carl Benjamin isn't one of those - stupid as he may be, he knows exactly what toxic bullshit he's parroting.

He isn't one of the people caught in the alt-right's lies, he's been peddling these lies for years.

The good thing is that he might actually get his comeuppance, as his attempted political career exposed him to the mainstream at the same time as people are reporting on his pro-pedophilia comments.

It's kind of funny how Youtube "stars" tend to fare poorly when people other than their online fans and sycophants start paying attention to them.

Well, it's kind of karmic justice - the guy always wanted attention. Now he's getting it.

I guess Sargon looked at Trump and thought to himself "Hey, I wanna be the british version of that guy! Speak as much hateful, toxic bullshit in public as possible, it's a guarantee to get elected!"

Looks like it's not working^^

He actually supports Trump because "he triggers the libs".

Can someone explain to me why do these jagoffs go to such lengths to spite liberals, progressives and general left-leaning folks?

In almost any video or post, I see such... contempt for anyone that is/might be a liberal. They try to be calm and rational but it's like a facade, like a mask and their hatred for the other side seeps in or takes over. Kind of hard to explain but it's like a leaking dam, and the water is "hatred of liberals". It keeps leaking if they handle it well or it just bursts.

Hard to be a decent person when you define yourself more by what you hate than what you love.

I think a large part of it is their ideology makes them feel bad - there are some people who want to believe they're a good person (and do), while also feeling like they have a birthright to say and do whatever they want to no consequences or responsibility for either, so when someone comes along and says "no, actually you shouldn't say that and here's why", their conscience kicks in and they begin to feel guilty. They begin to question, in the simplest terms, whether they're a good person, or a bad person, which would lump them up with all the other bad people (murderers, rapists, etc). And that kind of introspection is hard and unpleasant enough without the fear that there's even the smallest chance of concluding that they're a "bad" person. With it... they lash out, reject all attempts at introspection and any notion suggesting that your belief system needs a bit of reworking... anything that might suggest they're a "bad person". And not only that, they lash out at the people it's coming from, which tends to be, in a general sense, liberals. From there you get all the nonsense about "SJWs" and such.

At least that's probably the case for some of them. For others, I couldn't say.

Innuendo Studios' "Why Are You So Angry?" series on You Tube explains this better than I can.

So, to kinda change subjects, does anyone here like watching videos about events in the internet? I found an interesting Youtube, Justin Whang, where his videos usually talks about internet history, meme origins, internet events, myths and even some videogame related stuff.

It's interesting because the stuff he covers is usually not talked about much and so i keep learning the history of things i never really had the change to get into because i was young back then (Like Napster or YTMND)

Oh interesting history...

So an update on Etika. He has been released..... only to be arrested again after assaulting a police officer.

......The fuck?

Are those people in the video encouraging that behavior? Shame on them.

And well, i doubt he is recovering from these one. Assaulting an officer is no joke

Etika is a huge mess right now. He doesn't need this, he needs real help and a break from Youtube. It is frightening the breakdown he went through on his channel and he needs to give himself some help.

I thought the point of arresting him in the first place was to get him some therapy. I guess I was expecting too much.

The point of detaining him was simply to make sure he wasn't an immediate danger to himself or to others. He was released after they believed he was not.

Then he assaulted a cop.

So...yeah.

So, for a while now my Youtube Video Views have been showing up as 0 even if just yesterday they display more views than that. Anyone know why that's the case?

It might be that YT hicckuped, I saw comments on several videos joking about how the view count YT was showing was far below the dislike count (when you have to open the video itself to dislike it), telling YT to go have a rest or joking that YT is drunk. I'm not even sure anymore how YT counts the views (as in, if they only count if you watched the vid to the end or a certain percentage of the video or what).

Apparently Etika is currently in a mental hospital.

Better than jail after all of his drama.

So i'm curious, how did T-Series manage to become so big in a relative short time? (i have to check when the channel was made, i know the company has been around for a while)

Is the company a big deal in India? Because it's rare for a relative unknown company outside of the U.S. to get so big. Then again, India has a really large population so them alone could take anyone to the number one spot.
