It's giving "Tychus Finlay in StarCraft II".

So full of white pride that they have to hide their identities.

I'm a bit confused about the difference to be honest. I go with agnostic because I believe there is some sort of higher power, I just think claiming to "know" it enough to communicate with it and building rules and society around it is silly.

Indian food still relies heavily on dairy. Ethical is a wild word. On a commercial scale this contributes just as much to environmental harm and also leads to animal abuse.

You cannot "financial literacy" your way out of capitalism and all kinds of bottomless pits of exploitation dug by the capitalist ruling class. It's why when I see liberals telling working class people to follow some financial literacy courses or whatever, I wanna punch them in the fucking face!

*some animals. Dog and cats are family, any other animal can get wrecked.

Verify that I've lived in Canada? Do you want a picture of me in a Tim Hortons or petting a moose?

I was involved in vegan activism for several years in Canada and I can confirm I've heard the most racist, upsetting shit from people who claimed to be about protecting life.

It's fair if you see him that way. I don't know BE and don't wish to protect him. I wish he wasn't a bigot on queer issues. I like his videos on Columbus and who he is personally is of no consequence. It's like Winston Churchill was a massive racist but his view on landlords was legit.

New coat of paint? I've been watching his videos for 6 years. Was he doing gaming content before that?

As someone who knew absolutely none of this. BEs takes on sex and gender identities are archaic and unfortunate.

The Kavernackle on YouTube: polite, charitable, overly careful. The Kavernackle on BlueSky: rude, might be an alt account for Bad Empanada.

Ryan and Emma Vigeland's arguments about an upper-middle class career soldier, ex-merc who started his own business are absolutely bizarre. It's like Victoria Beckham levels of delusion about what class is lol

The arguments he had to become a merc to not like starve to death or something are next level.

i think "socialism" or being a "leftist" in america has meant being mostly concerned with how it effects you. free healthcare, free education etc it's pretty common to find ppl who think themselves as left in america who have no thoughts on empire

I don't know what the context for this is, but "probably Henry Kissinger" made me laugh much harder than it should. Now I need to hear the entire conversation.

Peace and civility are the most important values to me personally. I'm willing to make the hard decisions and sacrifice many other people as it takes. Preferably those I can't see from my condo balcony.

Most of the 1% were born in the 1% and have staff to invest and manage their assets to stay in the 1%. Occasionally you get a Bezos, but more likely you get a Trump who fails upwards for decades, or makes marginally good effort after already being close to the top.
