My favorite part of this is OP referring to Andrew as "they/them" even though he's never expressed any desire for neutral pronouns, this effectively misgendering him in its mind. Or whatever it has up there. Some kind of soup, probably. Maybe Babish's next recipe?

Oof, this snart is deep in the communist revolution fantasy...

When you're so antiestablishment you pay the establishment to castrate you. 😎👌

It's fucking brilliant dude. Selling rebellion to idiots with nothing to stand for because they think defiance in itself is a positive quality, and draining their bank accounts while preventing them from reproducing.

Gotta give them credit it's genius if they intended it. But I don't think they are that competent and far sighted.

Still, if you get your undesirables to give you their money to remove themselves from the genepool while using them to stir up the political shit and rage towards them rather than towards the ruling elites, then they go and self eliminate themselves when they've outlived their usefulness, I definitely see why one would be inclined to think it's a deliberate strategy.

I don't think it's actually deliberate down to the precise detail, but I know that it's a product of narcissism, and narcissism is a product of capitalism creating need. Someone noticed a lot of weird, porny narcissism going untreated, and now there's a multi-billion dollar industry embracing it. The fact that it happens to also involve self-castration is, I think, a purely coincidental metaphor.

and narcissism is a product of capitalism creating need.

Lol no this isn't how it works.

Capitalism exploits narcissism for profit. Capitalism might try to create new needs to exploit for profit, sure. But need, narcissism, all the ugly negatives of human society exist as a part of human society. This is why the communist experiment basically failed, it was filled with a bunch of retarded utopian thinkers that thought that something like selfishness can be eliminated from society if only we got rid of those pesky oppressors.

Capitalism becomes a big problem when it's allows to run unreigned and driven only by the profit motive to the expense of society and the individual good to the complete ignorance of moral good.

But if you think it's creating the narcissists I doubt you've much experience with them. They'll always find ways to make everything about them regardless. The main difference in a capitalistic system is that there are plenty of amoral profit seekers keen on exploiting them.

I agree, I didn't mean to say capitalism creates narcissism. But the way it exists now is being fed by it. There's a machine in place to validate it.

Yeah it definitely creates the profit incentive to not only exasperate the issue of narcissism but to also make it difficult to deal with since someone now profits off it and doesn't want it to go away.

Too many people fall for the sales tactics without realizing there's a tactic. These days the commercials are everywhere. They sift through your data, your online profiles to target adds directly to you, that's why you need Nord VPN. Yes indeed.

Exactly.

The modern establishment realized: If you make a plan supporting eugenics and a plan to sterilize the undesirables, any human being with a soul will realize you're a monster and run you out of power on a rail.

If you make a whole new subculture group of people who are inherently interesting and cool and powerful and get everything they could ever want forever...andallyouhavetodoisletusrenderyousterile? You'll get all your undesirables to ask for, beg for, plead for, threaten suicide for the right to be sterilized.

After the revolution comrade the capitalistic patriarchal machine will be gone and then trans people can exist in society and live as their authentic selves and not work under the oppressive yoke of the capitalistic system that demands their labor.

The day after the revolution.

Xey/Xim: Glorious day comrades! We have finally lifted the yoke of capitalist oppression! Now we can spend our days frolicking on Twitter now that our overlords have been overthrown.

The Stalinator: No comrade, Twitter is a vile capitalist tool of oppression and has been outlawed by the state. You are now free to contribute to our society comrade. Your work is appreciated.

Xey/Xim Oh, well I can write my queer feminist theory book and art piece about the capitalistic oppression of queer people by the state!

The Stalinator: Sorry comrade our glorious centrally planned economy has deemed that our quota of queer feminist writers shall remain at zero until our five year plan is implemented. You have been assigned to work at power plant #15. Please report by 5 am.

Xey/Xim: I don't want to do that!

The Stalinator: Comrades we have a traitor in our midst that wishes to betray our glorious revolution even on our day of victory!

And that comrades is how queer people fit into the glorious equitable people's republic.

I won't be interacting with them or their work until they admit their harm and make amends

And nothing of value was lost.

That's a shame because they had a three-episode guest arc planned together. They were gonna make flautas.

Someone tells him to go outside so he calls them an ableist.

Yep. Weird fact, disabled people can't get outside. I guess ramps and elevators don't exist anymore.

When I watched the episode, “Full English Breakfast” I believe it was, I just knew that there would be complaints. I was actually surprised that he did it to be honest as I thought he was a typical bearded/tatted hipster and would have hipster sensibilities…apparently not.

they always go after the most middlebrow types--Rowling, Babish, Jesse Singal: like, it's funny that these aggressively inoffensive types are being blamed for ISIS in Syria, death squads of narco-police in Honduras, or drooling flat-Earther fundamentalists in the US: who's next, Tom Bergeron?

these targets are basically at a Venn intersection of "not actually transphobes or associated with them" but also and "not too 'nice' to just pretend to repeat the ever-changing slogans some 17yo orders them to": so the "activists" try to pummel them into submission, but it turns out the most militant and perpetually-online segment of 0.7% of the population isn't that big

I never heard of him before, but I just subscribed to his YouTube channel.

I recently ordered a full set of the Harry Potter books, in hardcover, in honor of the perpetual outrage.

Sneed sells feed and seed while Chuck sells suck and fuck.

Never watched this guy, just went and watched the episode in question for the lolz. He seems pleasant.
