  1. It never made sense to me how we were always taught in American schools that Nazis were the "big bad", when communists have a far larger body count and were just as bad, if not worse, in pretty much every regard. And when you tried to point that out, people freak out and act like you're saying Nazis were good. No, no, they're both bad, but why so much focus on the bad guys who slaughtered far fewer people? I mean, I kinda understand why, we were allied with the soviets. But that should have been my first red flag that communist sympathies were leaking into education. And I'm old, this was the late 90s, early 2000s.

  2. I remember the moment I knew Callum was the man, it was maybe 6 months to a year ago, him and Carl were doing a segment on dating apps and how they were making young men and women unhappy and lonely, and Callum says in a very stoic and matter of fact way, "that's because men want a woman, not a whore", and Carl just replies "bloody hell, Callum!"🤣🤣🤣 I died laughing, if you can get that response from Carl, you have nailed the point directly on the head, in a hilarious way.

  3. There's no such thing as gulags, and also, if there was, they would be a good thing. But they're not real. But if they were real, they would only be for people who deserve them, and they're also a good thing. But they're not real.

  4. Oh, and capitalism is the REAL gulag, I forgot that part. But also, gulags don't exist, and they're a good thing, and they're only for people who deserve them, but capitalism is the real gulag, but those are the bad gulags, but our gulags are good, but they also don't exist.

  5.  @johnreece9978  it makes complete sense, you aren't a fascist, are you? 🤣🤣🤣

  6.  @johnreece9978  well you see, the thing is, there's systemic systems of systematic oppression and stuff. So like, the gulags need to exist to reform the systematic injustice of systemic systems that oppress marginalized communities of color through systematic oppressive systems. You see? It's very clear.

  7.  @guillermoelnino  shhhh, don't tell him. Its funnier if he figures it out on his own.

  8.  @guillermoelnino  the sad part is my "arguments" aren't that different than actual arguments I've seen lefticles make, the main difference is that they're not that obvious, they won't launch every mental gymnastic maneuver in one comment, it's usually all of those arguments, but chopped up into several different replies to different replies. As though the person they're talking to is so stupid they won't notice that every argument is directly contradictory to the previous argument. And they also usually surround it all with a whole bowl of word salad to make themselves sound intellectual and to try and bury the actual stupidity of the non-argument.

  9.  @StarboyXL9  yea I'm not into all those tiny hat conspiracy theories.

  10.  @guillermoelnino  that's a fair point, I think there's 2 main overlapping groups of lefticles, there are the "true believers", the dummies you're referring to that just don't have the brain horsepower to really understand what leftism is, and the ones I'm referring to that are just pure evil, and will use any vessel they can to feel like their team is going to be in power. They have this delusional vision of a communist utopia where they can just sit on their ass getting high and playing Xbox all day and never have to worry about money. And it's damn near impossible to tell the difference in a lot of cases, because the evil ones pretend to be the stupid ones. And all of them are stupid at least to some degree, you can't be a super big brain and also genuinely think the communist utopia exists, or could even hypothetically exist.

  11.  @guillermoelnino  I don't even know why I bother arguing with lefticles online if I'm being honest, they know they're wrong, they know they're lying, they know they're hypocrites, and they don't care. To them, it's all about their side winning and getting ultimate power. Any path they need to take to get there is fine in their morally bankrupt worldview. I try to justify it to myself by saying I'm not trying to convince them, I'm hoping that some small amount of other people reading the thread may see that I'm making valid points. But let's be real, that's wishful thinking. 99.9% of people have chosen their side, and I'm not even talking left or right, it's not even about that anymore. It's normal people and insane authoritarians. And of the small percent of people who do change their mind, it probably wasn't from some random thread on a YouTube video. So if I'm really being honest, I probably just do it because it amuses me.

  12.  @ThePreciseClimber  that's like my brother's former in-laws, they're a snooty aristocratic family that owns a big industrial shipping company, but it was really his ex-wife's grandpa that built the company and made millions, her dad and eventually her brother essentially ran the business into the ground, they're in massive debt because the company hasn't been lucrative for some time now, but are still running on fumes just because there's so much still invested in it. But it's a house of cards, they still live like rich people, but they've been inches from financial disaster for years now. And they know it, it's like they're just milking the teat as long as they can before it all comes crashing down. It's actually hilarious, because they're all giant assholes. Literally and figuratively, the whole family has the physique of Fat Bastard from Austin Powers, the men and the women.
