(penguinz0 voice) "This is the most pure ideology soy comment section of all time"

Ah yes, the man who's the cause of millions of trees being planted and is now working to clean the ocean can be doing so much better

No, "the cause" of greenwashed capitalist grifting is profit driven market incentives. These charities exist mostly for the sake of virtue signalling to class unconscious libs. Also planting trees is sus and might actual release deep soil carbon, Google "soil priming"

I love how Twitter targeted the one guy who is literally trying to make philanthropy profitable and self reliant

It's so profitable and entrenched into neoliberal institutions that every corporation, even Pornhub, is doing it

Imagine attacking a guy who literally changes people's lives for a living

he's like a Dracula sucking out the exploitation of his wage slaves for cathartic euphoria. Demonic energies in this spectacle

Mr Beast doing things like "recreating squid games in real life" allows him to continue his philanthropy channel and help so many in need... If he didn't make that content he wouldn't have the funds to help people... are people this dumb?!

It's woke to do bourgeois Squid Games, you imbeciles!!!

What's scary about Twitter is not necessarily the bad takes, it's the fact that you can visibly see thousands of people agreeing with those bad takes. One idiot is easy to deal with but having a group of them in the same place makes you lose all hope for humanity.

said the gamer youtube commenter, unironically

The people who say stuff like "They're only helping others to make themselves look good" are the worst. Being cynical doesn't make you appear deep or intelligent, it just makes you look like someone who's whiny and criticizes without actually doing anything yourself.

Soy is the new punk

The funniest shit is when they say “just give away money” acting like they own the first thing about how currency works.

Capital is accumulated in the bourgeois class :dril:

MrBeast's job isnt just to donate money, his job is to make videos. People are literally getting mad at him for doing his job.

job description: spectacle vampire

I'll translate these tweets for you: "Hi guys, I'm too lazy, selfish, and unproductive to make a positive impact in this world, but I feel very self conscious about it. But as I stated earlier, I'm too lazy and unproductive, so instead, I'm going to pick apart every little thing people do to feel better about myself."

(angry NPC face) "the bourgeoisie are rich because they're good people, working class people bad!!!"

    I loved this dude's deadpan humor when he was playing $0.50 Steam horror games but now that he's switched to reaction and commentary content I feel like he's just fuckin awful lol

    I remember him making a vid mourning that some cop show got banned right at the peak of the George Floyd protests

    "Planting trees is bad, actually" is a BMF take i hope to see memed into the Hexbear Ideatic Noosphere, up there with outdoor cats and eating bugs.

    Gonna edit since y'all whacky: his take is that planting trees is bad because it releases soil carbon, not because shitlib efforts are entirely to greenwash their carbon spewing industrial processes.

    Really cringe that every single streamer/youtuber went from being an avatar to revealing their face. Makes it too personal for me.

      The Internet is at its best when it's psuedo-anonymous. Just enough identity that you feel a sense of continuity and don't do the 4chan total nihilism thing, but detached enough that it forms a separate sphere from real life.

        Tbh that might be because they don't reveal their politics, I remember Joel for example playing some Che Guevara NES game and dropping a nuclear hot take that Che T-Shirts are for fascists and it's basically like wearing a t-shirt of Hitler

        I still consume his snusk content regardless :excitement:

          If wearing a tee-shirt makes you a nazi than what does it make someone who lives on land stolen by slave owners?

          Vinny vinesauce is very, very, very good at scrubbing his streams from anything remotely controversial. I have the vague notion that if pressed, he would have a similar opinion about Che Guevara and Cuba because it's the dominant one, but mercifully, he avoids those kind of topics like the plague.

        He had "court case" and and obviously the community was behind him keeping some of the profits to help out (same acutally because he did seem super decent) and by I now I am convinced it was a family court.

    Nobody is free of sin here, but I like how seeing thousands of people disagreeing with you doesn't give vloggers or whatever some pause nor some avenue for reflection, instead they double down and bury themselves deep into weird solipsistic territory where anyone who doesn't think like you just doesn't think very well at all and it makes you "lose faith in humanity" (cringe reddit shibboleth btw, as if ct1tikal needed help establishing himself as an epik reddit0r)
