  1. I gotta say Mike, looking through your YT subscriptions I see quite a few red flags.

  2.  @matthewbright1939  Where's the line where two people can no longer be friendly, according to you? Because your friend's views seem pretty harmful.

  5. Probably because in the US's shitty two-party system, there's only one real alternative and it's far worse. If there was a strong leftist party, I definitely agree that minorities should vote for that instead. But alas, here we are.

  6. Is it really so ridiculous of a concept? Someone's politics can say a lot about their morality, or lack thereof.

  7. Name one leftist news outlet. Not liberal, but leftist.

  10.  @ohnoyoucantrustme5364  White people are more likely to get a housing loan when controlled for financial history. White people are less likely to be randomly pulled over or searched by police. White kids are more likely to have access to a good school and inherited wealth. And white people in the USA, despite the country being a mix of many different cultures and ethnicities, are regarded as the "norm" in ways that are usually small and insignificant on their own but add up. Facial recognition tech is developed with white people in mind. Bandaids are beige by default. Bear in mind that white privilege doesn't mean that white people didn't earn anything, or never face poverty or adversity. Or that it's about hating white people. It's just about being cognisant of the fact that some people have certain hurdles to jump that others don't have to. And also bear in mind that white privilege isn't the only kind of privilege, there's lots of different kinds of privilege, like being able-bodied, or neurotypical, or cisgender, or male, or attractive, or part of your area's dominant religion.

  11. Republicans aren't particularly inclined to speak the truth in my experience.

  12. Asian Americans as a demographic tend to be more well off because while African Americans largely entered the country as slaves, Asian Americans immigrated, which means they would have to be reasonably well off to afford to move such a distance in the first place. And while experiences are far from universal among people of a certain ethnic group, there are definitely issues that affect some groups more than others.

  13. He's too busy being morally outraged by "wet ass p-words".

  14. That makes no sense. People being healthy and educated will make them not want to work? So people not being able to get an education and not having access to healthcare makes them more productive workers somehow?

  15.  @michaelsong5555  That's what taxes are for, dummy.

  16. Change what? Your smoothbrain hyperbolic little take there? I mean, for you to hold a position like that, you're either extremely misinformed, or you just straight up hate women and black people.

  24. Liberalism is bad. Conservatism is far, far worse. Go further left.

  25. LOL Oh, I see. I guess when the likes of Ben Shapiro are your standard for "smart" I guess just about anyone qualifies.
    1
  26. Ben Shapiro talks fast and is skilled at talking around people. Also, he tends to have the advantage in discussions of being the one holding the mic, and having the audience on his side. That's about it. I wouldn't say he's particularly smart.

  27. How terrible that you get criticized for your words and actions. At least you can't vote.

  28. You seem way too young to be this conservative.

  29. Privilege means not having to deal with something that other groups do. To say that doesn't exist is beyond ignorant, it's dishonest.

  30. How do they not?

  31.  @usa8529  Politics impact people's everyday lives. People can lose their freedoms, livelihoods, and even lives because of political policies. You people treat political views like they're your favorite pizza toppings or something, and that's because you have the privilege to avoid many of the negative effects of far-right political policy.

  32. They need this belief in a justified hierarchy because they need to believe there's a reason they're better off than others. The truth is that we as a species are better off when we're guaranteed education, healthcare, food, etc. But conservatism has always taken feelings over facts.
    1
  33. Because the effects of things like slavery and Jim Crow laws can still be felt today, even though they're gone.

  34. What a profoundly ignorant thing to say.
    1
  35. Do you think there's issues that a lot of people who aren't white have to deal with that white people generally don't? That's white privilege.

  36.  @ohnoyoucantrustme5364  No it doesn't. You can acknowledge that certain traits allow people to bypass certain hurdles that others tend to face without those traits doing that universally and absolutely.

  37.  @ohnoyoucantrustme5364  "Some cult against short people"? No. But yes, you could argue that there is such a thing as tall privilege.

  43. You're delusional.

  44. What price do you think we're paying for the astronomical wealth of the billionaires?

  45. At the very least it'll be better than we have now.

  46. Welcome to capitalism, where we work not to provide society with the resources and services it needs, but to feed the nebulous beast called The Economy.

  47. Republicans and Democrats both get their fish from Fishcorp by giving them tax cuts in return. Leftists want to redistribute the fishing rods.

  48. Looking white is the only real qualifier for being white.

  51. Sure it does.

  52.  @crate249  You mean the people who statistically commit less crime?

  53.  @crate249  If protecting people is the goal, why build a big wall to keep out people who statistically commit less crime?
    1
  54.  @crate249  Sounds like an illogical allocation of resources.
    1
  55.  @crate249  Wouldn't these resources be better spent trying to prevent murders and sex trafficings in general rather than specifically going after this population that's less likely to commit crime?

  56. Ok, ban all people

  57. Why give a far right grifter another free platform?

  58. Really? You'd stay friends with someone even if they started supporting horrible things?

  61. Because the wealthy want to stay wealthy.
    1
  62. Because they strive for gender equality and the prevention of polcie violence against black people. Even if for some strange reason you thought they were "useless", why would you say they're the "worst movements of the century"? You realize nazism happened within the last 100 years?

  63.  @crate249  Recently, popular issues on the left have been increasing the minimum wage and getting a Covid stimulus check to as many people in need as possible. Popular issues on the right have been several racist old Dr. Seuss books no longer being published and Mr. Potato Head getting different text on the box. Now tell me again who gets all worked up over non-issues.

  64. How is the media "leftist"?

  65.  @joelvr101  Are you kidding me? Did you not see how Bernie was treated by the DP establishment? It's more like this: Democrats - Diet Conservatives Republicans - Far-right conservatives

  66.  @mayaisham9462  Yes, all those news stations that oppose capitalism and want to redistribute the wealth.

  67. On the other hand, you're never gonna make progress in improving society if you keep pointing solely to personal responsibility rather than systemic issues.

  68. Not having to deal with certain things that non-white people have to deal with, by virtue of being white.

  69. Your profile pic is the flag of a racist segregationist movement that lasted shorter than Pokemon Go and wanted to keep slaves. Do I even need to ask why you're a Trump fan?
    1
  70. Why are you using liberalism, socialism, and communism interchangably? Are you just really politically illiterate?
    1
  71. Trump was born into a wealthy and well-connected family, got a "small loan of a million dollars", stayed wealthy despite numerous bankruptcies, and he's at the helm of the party that "works for everything they have"? Give me a break.

  72. "I'm not racist but"

  75. Prager U is absolutely propaganda. I'm not sure how anyone can dispute that.

  76. How is socialism in any way incompatible with those things?
    1
  77.  @notmillennial4854  But why don't you want socialism? What's so great about the private ownership of the means of production?

  78.  @notmillennial4854  Alright, fair enough.

  79. Let's not give fascists a platform from which to spout their shitty ideas.

  80. And who do KKK members tend to support today? You think they're big Biden fans? Bernie bros maybe? Please.

  81. Ben Shapiro is kind of annoying

  82.  @wassupbud1232  "Incredibly intelligent"? I'd say his level of intelligence is quite credible.

  83. Everyone, through taxes. If you're afraid of people exploiting the system, you should be extremely opposed to capitalism exploiting the working class.

  84. How so?

  85. "I'm not a republican, I just shout the same ignorant generalities about the left that they do." Uhuh.

  86. Your reputation has been tarnished by electing Trump.

  88. Why though? I legitimately can't see the appeal, unless you just want to actively hurt the credibility and well-being of the US.

  89. Free healthcare and college aren't possible because of financial reasons, but huge military spending and tax cuts for the extremely wealthy are?
