“There are a lot of leftists now on the platform [Twitch], like Destiny is one. . .” Man, that’s a pretty hilarious example “leftist” streamer to give in retrospect. Destiny was already a moderately progressive lib centrist back then, but he’s spent the last year, year and a half doing nothing but having leftists on to try to prove what a bad idea socialism is, while also being fairly open about the fact that he has never read any left-wing theory or research the topic seriously and refuses to do so... But he feels very, very strongly about it these days and everyone should listen to them, because he knows the contents of Econ 101 and has memorized lots of bromides about how free markets benefit everyone and it’s actually a net positive that we allow corporations to outsource to the Third World, and workers are too dumb to run things themselves. Lovely guy. It actually seems like he started spending all this time trying to humiliate the left because, as a lib, he got really upset that the following he developed debating the alt-right consisted of lots of actual leftists, and they would criticize his shit lib takes. Haha. It’s funny because about a month before his anti-leftist era was when I first discovered him, and I enjoyed going through all his old debates with the alt-right, because they indeed were interesting and he provided some good information... But as soon as I got up to all his “socialists are fucking idiots” stuff it was just like... Okay, he’s good at debating in favor of “racism is bad” or “Should people be charged with murder for getting an abortion...” Cool...That’s not a very high standard to rise to, and when the rubber meets the road, he is adamantly, vehemently anti-socialist and on the side of capital. I was curious about his debates on socialism, but it is literally so stupid and infuriating that I couldn’t put myself through more than maybe listening to 2/3 of 2 of them. Listening to people argue that aggressively and in that “facts over feelings” style on subjects they know nothing about... It literally does remind me of a clip I saw of Ben Shapiro when a college student responded to some of his criticisms of socialism by mentioning that not all socialists want state control of the economy or are authoritarian and asking him about what is his rebuttal to actual worker ownership. 10/10 self-certainty, 1/10 actual knowledge of the subject at hand. Not a good look... It’s embarrassing. It only makes me mad that so many liberals eat it up and that he can’t seem to see the way in which he is making common cause with people who do unbelievable harm... Dude is supposed to be a consequentialist IIRC and he still argues that all protectionist policies are fundamentally always bad... I mean I’m on the left-libertarian side of things- I’m not out here advocating statist policies anywhere it isn’t necessary... But anyone who understands the consequences of neoliberal trade policy in the developing world and the way this forced trade liberalization has literally been weaponized to prevent development and keep these countries exploitable, when the US (and almost all of the developed world) DID use protectionism to enable domestic industries to develop, would immediately see that this is literally nothing more than laissez-fairy propaganda. It’s literally on the level with “Anti-trust laws are authoritarianism and monopolies never form unless it’s the government’s fault.” These are just the same quality of right-wing talking points that he would call out and mock on any social issue.
Heretical Hershey Heretical Hershey What is it you take issue with? I am sure plenty of people will disagree if they like Destiny, & I wasn’t exactly trying not to be inflammatory, because it drives me crazy, but looking over the comment I can stand by everything I said. Haha.
Yeah Destiny is awful but I do think at least during that 2015-16 era he was very successful at de-radicalizing a lot of fascist young people. How many of them are insufferable libs now is unknowable. I’m sure that quite a few moved on to become socialists though. People drawn to “extreme” ideology are often the same kind of people most ripe for socialist radicalization.

yo, at like 1:18:00 have to say, I actually went to my 5th grade teacher's wedding. She was originally our 4th grade teacher, but she transferred up the same year we did, so a lot of us just kept her as a teacher for 2 years. At the end of it, she invited the class to her wedding. Looking back on it, it was a little bit strange, but it is something that happens
@@Tychoxi they're in the same clade (Glires). Lagomorphs (rabbits and hares etc) are more closely related to rodents than they are to any other group, but they're still distinct, and shouldn't be confused. They have several distinguishing features.
Rodentia does not include rabbits; rabbits differ from rodents in having an extra pair of incisors and in other skeletal features. Rabbits, hares, and a few other species make up the Lagomorpha. Shrews, moles and hedgehogs are also not rodents; they are classified in the Mammal order Eulipotyphla.
All the aircraft carriers in service at this time are nuclear powered. A more practical idea is to moor them offshore and run a cable from the reactor to the local power grid. Would be very useful in areas hit by natural disasters. But then you're carrying around all these worthless aircraft, munitions, radar systems, and the people to run them. A better idea: the US turns its military shipyards and their naval reactor builder to the task of making nuclear powered generator ships, like the Russians are doing with their RITM 200 reactor and the Akademik Lomonosov. They would improve more lives than the military has ever done.
i can’t help but to think that, if the left would step back from embracing abortion to the point of celebrating it and acting like the act of abortion is, itself, a moral and virtuous thing, then the right might not be so hell bent on trying to criminalize it. most of us can acknowledge that abortion a necessary “evil” for a successful and prosperous society. but we aren’t willing to concede the morality of it. find common ground and maybe everyone can win.
Counterpoint: no. The right would be hellbent on doing it no matter what we do, unless we agree with them that women who abort or the doctors who provide abortions should be fined or sued for large amounts of money that they can't pay, and then they'd just retreat even further to the right and start burning women who abort at the stake. This is because it's just a culture war issue at this point with very few good faith celebrities/politicians on the right who genuinely believe this shit, it's just what their voters froth at the mouth for because it triggers the libs or because they subscribe to some antiquated religious beliefs out of wanting to appear moral while still being utterly selfish morons. If you can find a serious leftist who "celebrates" abortion then I'll eat my shoe. Every serious leftist acknowledges that "abortion is a necessary evil for a successful and prosperous society but aren't willing to concede the morality of it". Everybody else is either making their own special little ideology on their Twitch/TH-cam channels with 43 subscribers, or they're doing a bit that isn't actually serious (e.g. that there should be an abortion center on every street corner or something) in order to provoke a reaction or try to make an obvious joke about "this is what conservatives believe that we believe". Generally speaking, do not compromise with people who have never expressed interest in compromising with you. If you do this, then you get what we currently have: a Republican party who is one of the most right-wing parties on the planet that actually have a large national following, on the brink of whatever fascism looks like in the modern day, who have never compromised unless they were absolutely forced to; with the Democrat party closely following them like a dog on a leash towards apocalypse, who will fecklessly compromise even if they have full control of every lever of power (e.g. early Obama years). Stand your ground on these issues or your worldview will be washed down by needless "compromise" and "nuance" from red to a grayish beige and then nothing good will continue to happen.
