What she said about Twiiter being the editor is so true. News sources in the U.S. have lost whatever journalistic integrity they had.

meh, she sat by quietly as conservatives got purged over the years so fuck her and the broke-down horse she rode in on.

I want to feel that way, yes. It is definitely my knee jerk reaction as well. But I also squashed my emotion and realized we also need to welcome the people coming around so we can get more people to "the cause". We need to finally eradicate this toxic environment that has raised its nasty head.

King_Brutus 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Those people only "come around" when it's convenient for them. I don't think that deserves any sort of welcoming arms.

MakeAOCBartendAgain 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

the more of 'em that come here, the more they'll bitch and moan about our "hate speech" and want to fuck it up, like they did on reddit.

DimDroog 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Not really.

I used to be a hard core SJW.

People can change.

Love your user name.

Obviously. They all got kicked out of reddit and came here. So yes, by numbers, I'm sure it is. Don't worry, if you're uncomfortable, you have Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit, and Insta you can move along to.

dramasexual 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Maybe they want it to be a place where they can freely exchange ideas instead of a "stronghold" of one side or the other? Being worried about a conservative circlejerk doesn't mean you want a leftist circlejerk instead, lol.

bald-janitor 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun 4 years ago

It's sad that he's bullying and drugging a highly schizophrenic woman who is declining rapidly. He's doing it because he thinks it is funny and that's want viewers want to say. He'll probably say that he's showing reality and is brave for doing so. His empathy is fake. He is rotten. He's sneaky, he's a snake. He baits and snickers at them on camera. These are calculated efforts to reach peak toxic behavior.

This is pretty much the worst thing you can do to humans legally. Exploiting mentally ill, desolate, addicted and homeless people with offers of money. I am against the usual "get help" bullshit. The American health system is fucked and getting 5150'd is the equivalent of spending a week or 2 in city jail and you end up in a room with fucking people like Nanobot and people who were arrested but threatened suicide so they stick them the psych ward for a hold.

Most of the time it doesn't help people because 5150 doesn't help people who are drug addicts or said some crazy shit about killing themselves in angry outburst. It could help for Nanobot. It looks like her physical health is declining and she is becoming more and more delusional. She's going to be dead soon if someone doesn't figure something out and start making decisions for her. I wouldn't be surprised if they said she's breathing so she's good and sent her on her way. But I feel like even a publicly funded institution could help save her from herself. She is sick with a condition which is taking her health and ability to function at a basic level away.

It makes me sad that I am watching someone's life fade away so fast and then you have this YouTube douche cheering it on filming it while taking in donations from people who encourage it. Fucking awful. This almost seems like a lawsuit could be involved. Or at least an intriguing Dateline story about how this shit goes on.

Captain is the worst when it comes to finding new "characters" for his stream too. He is always searching for homeless people to exploit in order to provide entertainment for his viewers. It's like he gets some type of pleasure from shitting on people who are at the bottom of society and are crippled in their abilities to defend themselves mentally, physically and emotionally.

Could do an exposé on so many streamers who do this type of content. Captain Content, Ice, Keemstar, Sam Pepper, SJC, Arab/Asian Andy, Brandon, Carl and Smooth Sanchez. I'll give Stop Seeding a pass so far since he actually seems to be struggling and rock bottom too. I wish I had all of the fucked up clips from Burger Planet. I've heard Burger say nigger on at least 10 separate streams back in his drunk Burger days. He was always exploiting homeless people and creeping on chicks too. He seems to have improved but I wish he could get exposed more for being a fake SJW. I don't even know what he does anymore, so his lack of relevance is punishment enough so far.

tl;dr: Captain Content is a piece of shit human being and a stain on humanity. Justice needs to be served for the crimes he has committed.

wecandobetter 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun 4 years ago

The point is that both are permitted. And you'll not be banned for disagreeing with either or.

I believe the word you were looking for is tautological.

indeed - thank you.

HPLovecraftsCat 19 insightful - 3 fun19 insightful - 2 fun20 insightful - 3 fun 4 years ago

Good. I can't stand that abrasive Zionist cunt. She is a traitor to America, always putting Israeli foreign policy in front of American interests. All Zionists should be considered terrorist to be honest.

[deleted] 27 insightful - 3 fun27 insightful - 2 fun28 insightful - 3 fun 4 years ago

Wow, your comment reeks of thinly veiled anti-Semitism. Calling someone a terrorist because they support Israel is a massive stretch.

HPLovecraftsCat 19 insightful - 3 fun19 insightful - 2 fun20 insightful - 3 fun 4 years ago

Anytime I bring up the far right fascist genocide theocratic apartheid state of Israhell you fucking kikebags needs to bitch and scream ANTISEMITISM. Go yell that to the victims of the USS Liberty and their families. Why were Mossad agents filming the Towers fall while dancing and cheering? Why didn't we investigate a FOREIGN intelligence at the site of the largest terrorist attack on our nation's soil? Wake up .

Chunkeeguy 24 insightful - 6 fun24 insightful - 5 fun25 insightful - 6 fun 4 years ago

kikebags

Yeah nothing anti-semitic about that at all. Totally just anti-Israel. Totally.

Zodiac_Killer 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun 4 years ago

There's no such thing as anti-Semitism.

america_first_1776 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun 4 years ago

It's okay to call out Jewish power.

You guys need to learn how to use language properly. If you have to resort to racial slurs all the time it makes your point seem more valgur and unrefined.

LeolaLawbaugh 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun 4 years ago

Slur is a word used to try control others use of other words. How about we each use what ever fucking words we like kike? You can call me a racist and I can one up you by calling you a racist pedophile?

You see the path to authoritarianism starts with someone getting just a little control over your language. And before you know it you are letting strangers ram dick down your throat in side streets for pocket change.

Stay safe avoid the dick and type whatever combo of characters you like.

Chipit 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

I've tried reasoning with these people. They're more interested in communicating their anger than communicating effectively to persuade people to their side. They have some good arguments. But damn do they do a number on listeners.

It's like they're purposely put out there to make their own side look bad. They're the SJWs of the right.

Chipit 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun 4 years ago

Israeli interests dominate the US government. Who benefited from the invasion of Iraq? Certainly wasn't America. Israel certainly did, though.

Our war in Syria, who is benefiting from that? Certainly not America. What are we even doing there? I don't know and neither do you.

A war with Iran has been forcefully advocated for. Who benefits? Certainly not America. But Israel is scared shitless someone will be able to counter their nuclear weapons and force them to negotiate. Just look at how the US has to treat North Korea.

Israel is currently annexing territory just like Poland 1939. Russia annexes territory in Crimea, doubleplusungood. Israel annexes territory, it receives the full approval of the US government.

At what point do you start noticing a pattern of behavior?

LeolaLawbaugh 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Israel has been used as a wedge to create turmoil in the mid east. Old divide and rule playbook. Same as how minorities are used within America.

Iran already has nukes from Russia. Invading Iran will likely spell the end of America or ww3. China can and will move quite well if America takes on Iran. Carrier groups don't stand up well against a nuke.

america_first_1776 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun 4 years ago

Israel is a terrorist state. It's insane to think otherwise.

Velocity 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Just like it's wrong to call someone a terrorist that supports North Korea too.

LeolaLawbaugh 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun 4 years ago

You guys need to learn how to use language properly. If you have to resort to slurs all the time it makes your point seem more valgur and unrefined.

The T-slur is a horrid word. Remember one man's t-slur is another mans f-slur f-slur and no I don't mean that other f-slur.

Please be careful with your language there's people under 50 here.

King_Brutus 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

People need to understand that words are just words. We give them their power. I don't typically say them because I find them distasteful generally but I'm not going to police or tend to engage with people who are just mad and using them.

Zodiac_Killer 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

It's at least treason.

ctvzbuxr 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun 4 years ago

We should put them in special camps where they can be taught the error of their ways.

HPLovecraftsCat 10 insightful - 3 fun10 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 3 fun 4 years ago

I would settle for just not letting Zionist hold posiitions in the government. All Zionists aren't Jews and all Jews aren't Zionist so don't get the worlds confused Chief. For example, George W or John Bolton. Both should be arrested, both are non-jewish genocidal Zionists.

ctvzbuxr 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun 4 years ago

Sure, can we continue with communists, socialists, people who like pineapple on pizza and everyone else I disagree with?

Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

That's a ridiculous position that literally nobody holds. Why would you pretend anyone does?

Themagicalmidget 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

This, people simplify so much because it's easy. If you want to win a war attack the ideology and its foundations not the boogeyman ((them)) as some like to call them. I wish the world was so simple that we could just dismantle the power of one group and everyone would be happy and peaceful, but in reality there are hundreds of different ((them)) and power groups. If you knock out one watch how quickly another will pop up to take its place. We are fighting a cultural mind virus, not a specific people. Some don't want to accept this though, as fighting against the literal cultural zeitgeist is so much more difficult and demoralizing then fighting one physical group you can use as a scapegoat.

Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Ah, that's an absurd absolute argument. It indicates you didn't have any actual reply and lost the argument.

ctvzbuxr 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

First of all, I wasn't trying to make an argument. This is the first thing I said in this discussion, so I'm not sure which argument I have supposedly lost. I COULD make the argument that holding a certain political belief is not a valid reason to consider someone a terrorist, which I at least implied in another comment I made. But here, I was just trying to riddicule this guy's position a bit by comparing it to the Nazis.

It amazes me constantly how MSM seem to look to Twitter and believe that it IS public opinion. Most people aren't on Twitter. I also think that most people want to read something that makes them think, and doesn't just want views that chime with those online.

The most vocally liberal people are the most illiberal when it comes to alternative viewpoints

horatioherbert 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

MSM's constant use of Twitter like it's the pulse of the American people reinforces their control of the narrative by unceasingly referencing a social media platform which in reality is a leftist paradise free from competing thought, in other words MSM only uses Twitter because they both support the same twisted leftist ideal

Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

It shows how small their minds are. They can't think outside of twitter. They really are the enemies of the people.

Zednix 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun 4 years ago

She is the most hated guest on JRE by a mile. She is pure cancer and it's hilarious that she finds NYT to be illilberal. What a wacko

LeolaLawbaugh 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun 4 years ago

She is a toxic hipocrite.

Troll her with "multiculturalism for Israel" when ever you can.

FediNetizen 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

The reason she got invited on JRE was she was one of the first journalists to explain what the IDW was without trying to frame it as some kind of "hate apologism network". I guess they were trying to build connections wherever they can.

antireddit 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

The people who brought about this "illiberal environment" are now trying to coopt the inevitable backlash. Fuck them. Weiss wrote a book advocating cancel culture and punishment against anyone who speaks out about the tribe. Now she's feeling butthurt because some of their BLM pets are noticing her tribes role in their "oppression" and are linking it up with their treatment of Palestinians.

Steven Pinker and several others are doing the same thing. Pinker and his disciples pushed to get Kevin Macdonald cancelled because he spoke his mind, despite Macdonald using a calm and measured tone and showing a willingness to debate anyone who disagreed with him. Now he wants to be play the free speech martyr when others do the same thing for him. Dont fall for it. They arent pro free speech.

GoodOldDays 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Let's see. If they fall back into defending cancellation of more "controversial" figures after the storm has passed, then I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Who benefits? The wealthy, the powerful, those who want to bring on rapture, and anyone who benefits from setting up us vs. them dichotomies. It’s not just Jews/Israelis/Zionists, though they are over-represented among the wealthy and powerful. These over-simplifications are dangerous because you miss the forest for the trees.

I say this and I’m not Jewish, Israeli, or a Zionist. And full disclosure I’m also technically part of the 1%, though for many reasons it doesn’t feel like it.

I am a first generation college graduate who works a million hours, accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars of student debt for the privilege of doing so, and lives in a very high cost of living area. What does “identity” have to do with anything?

wecandobetter 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

If you're hundred of Ks in the hole, in what possible sense are you a member of the 1% then? Seeing as your net worth is likely zero or negative.

yousaythosethings 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

I am no longer hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hole and my net worth is positive.

Jerusalem Post called her one of the most 50 influential Jews in the world. NYT co-workers called her a Nazi.

DessieArdrey 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Some interesting points are the behavior of Israelis vs the Palestinians is much like the Nazis treated the jews. The word Nazi is in Ashkenazi. The Nazis were key to achieving the zionist goals of pushing the jews out of Europe and making Israel. Hitler supported making Israel.

The newyork times is often referred to as the Jewyork times. This whole incident reeks of jewish games, specifically something to try bring attention and help a platform remain relevant when it is dying. I couldn't care less about this rag, it has become to me nothing but lies. Bari weiss was key in destroying it. I believe the Jewish powers that sought to build the monster that is the extreme left are slowly realizing the mistake they made. As it reeks now destruction on their doorsteps it will eventually come knocking for them. You see the extreme ledt hates jews nearly as much as the extreme right, one reason among many they are "extreme". Watch what you wish for. Oh and if you like my line of thinking have a listen to tim pool https://www.youtube.com/user/Timcasts https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe02lGcO-ahAURWuxAJnjdA
