    The guy has dead eyes, sure, but I don't really hate him enough to wish him dead. Tbh since all the backlash about his friend being trans, and he actually defended her, I just feel like I don't hate the guy.

        Honestly idk what he does, all I see is that he goes around and gives money to people for youtube video views essentially. Maybe I'm under the wrong impression? What does he do exactly? I saw one of his videos and it was pretty gross, but it was essentially him giving out thousands of dollars to seemingly random people

          gives money to people

          Show

          seemingly random people

          He is an entertainer who gets millions from advertisers to do philanthropic publicity stunts with some random people, but also paid actors. Also (CW Slurs) he's a massive homophobe. Also he's owns a franchise of ghost kitchens.

        he said trans rights

        Genuine question: Did he even say that? I think you might be giving him too much credit lol

        I'm pretty sure he was simply publicly nice to his trans friend employee, which is a lot different than supporting trans people in general. Dick Cheney being nice to his lesbian daughter isn't Dick Cheney saying gay rights, for example.

        honestly dude has a long (CW Slurs) history of being a homophobe in addition to his primary function as an entertainer who whitewashes our economic system through the spectacle of publicity stunts and philanthropy.

        Rainbow capitalism is okay if your schtick only consists of... checks notes... making poor people compete for prizes while you milk them for ad revenue. Yes that's the plot of Squid Game, yes he literally made a Squid Game video, but Bart said the phrase and that makes me clap like a seal.

            guy who releases three separate videos titled "$456,000 Squid Game In Real Life!", "$45,600 Squid Game Challenge!", "Extreme Squid Game Challenge!", and a fourth titled "Ages 1 - 100 Fight For $500,000": there is no similarity between what I do and Squid Game.

              his squid game didn't involve risk of death or serious injury though did it making it not the same thing

              I don't watch his content if he for some reason made a snuff film and then had someone beat up an old man and a baby on camera then I misjudged him

      CW: slurs, homophobia

      The guy has dead eyes

      I don't think anyone's problem with the guy is how his eyes look.

      t I don't really hate him enough to wish him dead.

      I don't hate him nor do I wish he was dead. I'm simply enjoying my Mod-given right to make a shitpost about rich people getting squished inside an oversized soda can while on the work toilet. The overthrow of capitalism is not about killing everyone who's bourgeois anyway, it's about overcoming class society. It's about eliminating the difference between bourgeois and proletariat by doing away with the capitalist mode of production. However, since most bourgeois individuals will not willingly give up their privilege and power to help transition to a better society, and will in fact violently protect the status quo, while also dishing out "invisible" systemic violence on a nonstop basis, class struggle will necessarily be violent. That is what the violence is about. Not about idealist stuff like hatred of youtubers or wishes about submarines or not liking the way someone's eyes look.
