    I was like this around 2017 and then I realized the implications of their actions and that they didn't coincided with my morals at all

    Generation Z doesn't believe Hellen Keller ever really existed.

    She died in 1968.

    Trust me... the stuff I was suggested was very intense... and monitised at the time... so they were getting rich at the time by suggesting to genocide a third of America with N slurs and K slurs every two minutes.

    In 2018 the TOS was updated and they were demonetised and they acted like their civil rights were violated...

    Then a little later they were banned... and aren't on YouTube anymore.


    You're right social media and amazon need to be trust busted...

    People forget that Microsoft was paying Apple millions of dollars every year in the late 90s and early 2000s because America is supposed to be against monopolies.

    Not that there's anything wrong with being an irony bro - but unfortunately irony is an inherent quality of fascism. If everything is ironic and nothing is serious, you can float some insane ideas and just laugh them off or pretend it's ironic. In fact, in some of the only recording of Nazi leaders discussing the holocaust - they use irony as a means of discussing the holocaust while laughing it off as ridiculous, all the while they are all actually doing these acts.

    There was a really good book by this Italian guy who watched Mussolinis rise discussing humor/irony and fascism.

    Before 2015 non-racist people could say racist s--- out of nowhere for shock humor... it was funny for misdirection.

    We thought we were in a post racial world... we've had a wake up since.

    I got a few friends that are like this too. They didn't think the capitol break in was a big thing until they found the IED's because "you really think the government cares about you",. We all have Mexican ancestry but one of them has this weird self loathing against them. Black people, hispanic people, and liberals are common topics. They play it off as "it's just a joke" but I've stopped talking to them as much

    I'd def be interested in checking out this book if you have the name/author. I was reading Blitzed last year which discussed how all the nazis were on medical-grade m--- and hitler was likely addicted to opioids and other s--- based upon historical medical records and such...and how he was having like ground up animal organs (can't remember exactly what it was) injected into him as some sort of strength serum.

    I haven't read it (yet), but a podcast I listen to was reading passages from it. Let me see if I can find it. Side note: the podcast is Behind the b------s and you should definitely check it out if you like all that s--- you mentioned.

    At the golf course I listen to 8 hours of podcasts a day so over the summer I was able to listen to every episode, about eight episodes a day. It was great.

    Great episodes mentioned.

    The host Robert Evans is probably one of the best journalists of our time. He spent time in Syria, he's covered Portland on a street level, been attacked, gassed, etc.
    He did a really good limited podcast series a couple of years back called 'It Could Happen Here' about how a realistic second civil war could break out based on his time in Syria.
    But yeah - they have great episodes exposing secrets and facts about everyone from the owner of 8chan to Hitler
