Comments by "Mat Broomfield" (@matbroomfield) on "Pool Karen Gets SHAMED On Her Way Out" video.

Both sides looked pretty fu**ing pathetic to me. But not as pathetic as TYT for constantly posting these "Karen shamed" videos. You've become like bully-enablers yourselves.

@bovinityleak2066 Uh huh - EXACTLY the level of intellectual discourse shown by the people in this video. Thank you for making my point.

@fotogeanick Again, thank you for your childish response "If you don't agree with what I like you should leave." Very progressive.

@sojiroumakairyu5143 Yay, go identity politics! It always makes you look super smart when you guess my entire political stance and emotional state based upon a single mild post. Also inappropriately apostrophising AND capitalising "Right." I guess you'd look kind of stupid if I actually hated Karens, was politically almost certainly way to the left of you, wasn't wrong, never, ever watched Faux News, and wasn't triggered though huh?

@sojiroumakairyu5143 Mob mentality is rarely a good thing because it can so easily be coopted by people with bad intent or attitudes. One of the reasons Trump got in is because people on the right felt sympathy for the way the media dogpiled him, and he got 79 million votes because he coopted their sense of righteous indignation (no matter how misguided that sentiment was) . But let's say for a moment that all those people braying "shame" at her like a bunch of mindless sheep WAS appropriate, because they were showing solidaity and support, TYT signal boosting that moment to an international audience is pretty despicable. I get it when it was that woman in the park who could literally have gotten that black man killed by police, or Hobby Lobby who are setting policy for an entire chain, but one middle-aged woman who is an unpleasant bigot with outdated views on sexuality? I'd have just left that at a local level and moved on. Public ridicule simply pushes things underground and ellicits sympathy. Educate don't humiliate. How do YOU think such incidents should be handled? And "progressive" is about trying to have enlightened views, not simply aligning yourself with SJWs and acting just as badly on the other side of the coin because you think you have the right. I'd be the first to admit that I fail in that aspiration daily, but I do try.

@sojiroumakairyu5143 There is a TON of research on how best to change people's minds. Ridicule and punishments are the two LEAST effective. It's like prison. That is also the least effective way of modifying behaviour. If you genuinely care about making a better world, you need to accept that you will have to do some unpalatable things such as not going eye for an eye. I'm the first to shoot back a snarky comment to a twat on youtube, but I know I am just making them worse. Sometimes they slope away in face of a superior intellect or a nastier comment, but mostly it just devolves. However, when I make the effort to be polite and kind, and try a provable facts approach, it's far more likely that they simply stop retorting. Maybe their minds have not been changed most of the time, but sometimes. Like with vaccine denialism - the government has gone with incentives and rewards rather than a big stick because the stick simply promotes rebellion, especially in the USA, a nation who knows all about "muh rights" but nothing about "my responsibilities." As for dog Karen, I am 100% on her side. Firing her for overreacting in social situation unrelated to her job is a massive overreach. The height of actual cancel culture.

@sojiroumakairyu5143 The thumbs down button is a blunt tool made for people who see the world in black and white terms. If I make a video that people don't like, I prefer to know WHY they don't like it. There are times when it's absolutely correct for the government to tell private businesses what to do; on issues of safety, staff treatment and wages for instance. Would I continue to employ the dog woman? Yes if she continued to do what I paid her for and she wasn't front office. I'd be concerned by her, and I'd watch her closely, but it's not for me to penalise people who have broken no laws. As for the gay couple, I can understand someone who thinks that ANY PDAs let alone lesbian ones are inappropriate and even corrupting. I grew up in that generation. In my generation, anything more than light kissing never appeared on TV, but now men can masturbate to completion, couples can have full penetrative sex, and kinky sex play all make it to mainstream broadcast TV. Morals change. Nobody can point and say that one is definitely truer than any other, although I tend towards morals that empasise tolerance and personal liberty.
