Thanks! I was looking for more good twitter accounts to follow.

Do leftists understand that they dig their own graves every single day? How can you guys keep doubling down on the same attitudes and tactics, loss after devastating loss?

So it's other people's fault you or others double down on bigotry or whatever when you get called out? Got no other argument but to blame others?

If this isn't blatant sarcasm what are you talking about? People's outrage over stuff like a racist joke doesn't result in more "racists" or conservatives or whatever. The outrage you see over things like this is just the results of the pot boiling over after decades of bullshit being thrown in the direction of minorities of all sorts. Oppression, violence and even worse in a lot of cases with little real change in how things work has left a lot of people not nearly as tolerant of even tiny bits of racism. The outrage you're seeing isn't resulting in some backlash to the right, it is in fact the backlash from the Left against the Right over all their petty, bigoted, ignorant bull shit they've been peddling for so damn long now.

Lets put it this way. If someone getting shit on for making a joke about killing all Jews is what causes someone to go,"I'm no longer a liberal or support the left!" then they probably never really supported the left in the first place.

Unless these quotes are fake, I think you owe Messofanego an apology.

This is not a big deal. Out of the two big examples, in one he is mocking how the media will take anything out of context to make you look like a racist (oh, the fucking irony there). And the other he is pointing out another Youtuber who is an actual anti-Semitic racist.

Thanks

Yes, losing is your fault. Try to remember what Leftists/Liberals were like during the Bush Administration, in terms of culture, art, comedy, media. Whatever cultural ground leftists have claimed in the 21st century was won by people like Jon Stewart, etc. Remember when being a leftist was cool and edgy?

This is not an isolated incident, it's ideological death by 1,000 cuts. Crying wolf.

Death to all jews has a very strong connotation to genocide which was an act of violence and hate to a specific race. It carries violence.

It will carry the same violence if you were to exchange jews with blacks, or asians, or indian, or muslim, and so on.

To throw any of that around recklessly normalizes it and puts people in real danger. Because through this kind of normalization we begin to lose that sense of what is wrong and the meaning behind those set of words and why they scare people and why they are terrified of the escalation that will eventually ensue.

The words certainly have that literal connotation, however in the context it was used I think it's a bit stretch to say it normalized the sentiment of genocide towards jews, I would bet my life that there was a not single person who had nothing against jews to begin with, now has or think it is acceptable in any manner to hate on jews. You only normalize these things by portraying them in a positive way and I vehemently disagree that was the case here. As for the earlier war on drugs analogy, I meant to say that criminalizing drug use does nothing to reduce actual drug use, in fact it's proved to be counter productive.

Remember when being liberal was about being cool and edgy? What are you talking about. People aren't on the left because its cool and edgy, they're on the left because the Right is looking like they want to strip people of their rights and make life a living Hell for anyone who isn't rich, white and straight. Maybe view the world outside of things like "cool" and "edgy" and you'll see why people are still protesting, still being loud, and still getting outraged.

Something having context does not make it ok and just because PDP himself might not be starting the Fourth Reich with this video doesn't mean it was ok or that he shouldn't be getting shit for it.

PewDiePie's demo audience is impressionable kids. That argument does not work all that well in this case.

Centrist white people instinctively gravitate towards conservative policies because liberal callouts are an example of bullying.

But Trump calling Mexican rapists, grabbing women by the pussy, and disenfranchising black people? All up in my veeeiiins.

What the hell is going on in this thread. Jon Stewart is a leftist? People somehow weren't angry at things during the bush administration? What?

Yet again, you don't need to be burning down a Synagogue or painting Swaztika's on a Jewish families home to be doing something anti semitic. Racism isn't just some black and white thing, there are many shades of grey and even if PDP isn't some Jew hating, Nazi loving monster (I don't think he is at all) his joke was still ugly, unfunny and all the context in the world doesn't abscond him from any of the backlash he is getting.

Weird that people would instinctively gravitate towards the people that like them over the people that hate them. Hmmm.

You use words as if you were in a cult.

Yet again, if that's all it takes to have someone go conservative then they were probably never very liberal or with the Left in the first place. It could be 10,000 "cuts" on the internet or news or whatever and if that's all it takes for you to start supporting bigotry, ignorance and all that, well then good riddance.

It is up to parents to be attentive of what their children consume and to educate and explain things to them. I think it's an overreaction to think children will turn into nazis or start hating on jews for this. I don't think Pewdiepie's content is appropriate for children anyway nowadays, his content is not targeted towards children and it's not his responsibility to regulate that.

Sorry i dont support the orange twat what so ever but america got what they deserved after what happened to Bernie, keep throwing stereotypes around though.

Even if the DNC played nice, people didn't vote for Bernie because they didn't agree with his message as much as Hillary's. He literally didn't have the numbers.

But good to know you think minorities deserve to suffer under a regime they largely didn't vote for because you didn't get your dream candidate. So much for tolerance and empathy. 8D
 
I don't care at all whatsoever about Pewdiepie, but he never struck me as a guy who cared that much about money or fame. He cares about his audience and making videos. I doubt he's going to change at all.

You're right. I would expect white racists to gravitate towards a party that is all about white supremacy regardless of any hypocrisy noted by attributing that migration to "bullying."

True, but you might argue it IS Youtube's responsibility to a degree, and their move is a way of doing that.
