  26. Check out Dave Rubin and how he presents the Republican candidates on one of his recent live videos titled: Unexpected 2024 Announcement Just Shook Up the Race. To cut to the short, with politics, you have to get past the theatre of it. For now, Trump is in the lead. There's still a question of if DeSantis will even run, but he would be the second in line if he did. And yes, the way he's playing things is working. For everyone knows that whoever runs against Trump is going to get hit pieces on them, and the more you're the target, the bigger the threat you are, because you're the most plausible alternative to Trump. DeSantis is definitely that. But there are others running. Dave Rubin goes through a couple of them and explains how he sees them running as a good thing, even if it's obvious they likely aren't going to be in the top tier of potentially electable as Trump and DeSantis. For one, they can present a national messaging that is good, and appealing conservative principles, ideas, and the like that can, and ought to be adopted by the top tier, especially once the dust has cleared and either Trump or DeSantis winds up the GOP nominee. The other candidates right now speak on various voices among Republicans and conservatives regarding what's important, such as America first, the land of opportunity ideal, importance of the Constitution, free speech, gun rights, etc. Listening to them does not mean you're voting for them, and moreso, it can show you're not just a candidate cultists that's either Trump or DeSantis only, or I'm nor voting. You have to realize what an insane position that is, to be such a cult worshiper of any candidate. But, anyways, just trying to give some perspective. Don't let the theatre politics get to you. It's not that much different than celebrity theatre, save you got crazies like Biden, who wants to bring back Obama's weaponizing the government against Democrat enemies, or the Clintons and their ever growing list of people that suddenly are no longer with us for having criminally damning information that could leas to their arrest, or anything else that would make their being in charge the next 4 to 8 years a hot mess. 😏👍

  38. Don't worry so much. You didn't force me to unsub from Tim Pool. This is about the 3rd time I've un-subbed from him in the past 10 years for being a javkass. He sometimes needs his ego burst. You had nothing to do with Crowder and the DW, other than help spotlight an issue with entertainment business contracts that will always be there for as long as the industry does its business in the way it does. EB did herself in, and we need to expose grifters that manipulate social media, regardless politics.PV sounds like it was a time bomb waiting to go off, just by the personalities and technicalities that have been aired. There is certainly tension right now, especially with DeSantis v Trump. But maybe we do need a shake up. The left gave up a lot of their soul to unify under Biden, despite for decades of knowing his corruption. Our battles on the right are with bad principles on the left and right. We know there are RINOs out there who will sell our country to China for a larger stock portfolio, that want the Ukraine war to go on to keep money flowing for the military industrial complex, regardless what's good for America, or even the world. We see it on how they refuse to take the Ohio disaster seriously. So we need James out there to uncover the corruption without fear that his board of directors will shove him under the bus for fear of the political whales mad that he's getting too close to the source. Also neither should we keep from exposing the cons and grifts. It isn't the same as a purity spiral, because the principles and standards do not move to the whims and will of the politics or agenda. That's why we can't galvanize or unite just for the sake of uniting. If there's a legitimate issue, we need to cover it and resolve it as best we can. We can forgive, but not put issues under the rug. It's part of the checks and balances that help us speak truth to power.

  60. As for blaming the internet, I see it more as the internet is more of a snapshot as to where we are as a society. People have done stupid stuff for a long time. We could blame shows like America's Funniest Home Videos, or more recently Fail Army. Gawker could be among the list, saved for they were successfully sued out of business, never mind their attempted comeback. Yet, people were doing stupid pranks and stunts long before the camera was accessible to most people. Never mind the slapstick of the Three Stooges, or Charlie Chapman, who was among the first to disavow their Nazi related comedy content. I personally don't find what this guy and his crew did as funny, but most pranks are cheesy/stupid setups that, in the back of my mind, I hope backfires on the pranksters. So yeah, I love when the Roadrunner speeds past a bundle of dynamite that's set to go off, but doesn't until Coyote goes to investigate what went wrong. So yeah, unless what causes it to happen is a tragic murder! I'll laugh when the guy in the video messes around with the wrong person and his prank backfires on him, especially if he finally serves jail time. The one thing I'm not going to do is blame the internet. The internet wasn't around to document that. If anything, the internet makes it easier to bust criminals that are stupid enough to film and upload their crimes. Or, with more and more security cameras with live streams, it makes it that much harder to deny a crime's existence, at least for as long as it remains accessible on the internet. If anything, the things law enforcement step in to intervene on as a crime tells you a lot about the state of both politics and law enforcement. Even in the example of the person and his crew talked about in the video. The only time he got serious backlash was when he targeted Jewish people. Otherwise, his threats and harassment were not even a slap on the wrist when the targets were white people, even regardless if they were women. That's a document of piss poor, politically correct driven law enforcement, that basically says white people don't matter, you can do whatever you want to them, even threaten to kill them. Hell, maybe white homicide is ignored because the police are perfectly fine with that as well. Who knows? But it's to that point where such questions aren't just a patter of 'far right' or 'white supremacist' conspiracy theories, but well documented realities that are being posted as 'pranks' that prove how far a black person can go when the target isn't a protected class, and this is done by an all black crew of their own free will.

  70. Catholics and Protestants alike believe in original sin. The Catholic view is that it is a wound on human nature, and thus something that can be healed through salvation. Protestants vary on what is believed and is dependent on their religious tradition, be it Lutheran, Calvinist, Baptist, etc., and the actual views today may not be the same as their founders. For example Martin Luther believed that humans were dung that are merely covered over in salvation by God's saving grace. That might shock a few modern Lutherans, while more traditional Lutherans would consider it hyperbolic and intending to stress the need to rely on God's grace for salvation, and not one's own works. I do agree with the basic premise, that critical race theory is similar to a cult of a religion, however I disagree with the comparison to original sin while misinforming on the Catholic doctrine of it. While it is true that original sin has been passed on to humanity since the first sin of Adam and Eve, this belief is not exclusive to Catholics, and is often maintained in more rigorous views among Protestant Christians. But yes, the problem with critical race theory is that it is utilizing a spiritual/religious narrative in order to condemn a certain race as being unforgiven and with no redeeming value. It might of been crass for Luther to say humans are dung, but he at least merited the possibility of salvation through God's grace. Critical race theory seems more like Calvinism, in that all people of color are the saved ones that are of the elect, and thus are above reproach, while white people are forever damned with no chance of being saved.

  86. It's a difficult topic because it's a matter of circumstance and association. This is at the heart of real racism and bigotry is the us v. them mentality. I don't think it fair to blame it all on mental illness. It might have a little to do with processing information and not having the sort of filters that most people do, but the issues Kanye has with the entertainment industry run deeper than who he currently blames for his issues. That said, we should have a more open discussion about the Holocaust and the 'Yahtzees' because there are a lot of things happening in our own culture that parallel with what happened then. A lot of our current industries made money off of that regime, even benefited from some of the tech and science that built many things things we commonly use today. We also have to understand the ties there were to the eugenetics program of the regime and how that has effected the development of genetics as we know it today. Then there's Albert Einstein who was by birth Jewish, but did not practice the religion, and even turned down the offer to be president of modern Israel. There are so many intriguing aspects of that era of history, and where we are currently about these matters doe a disservice to the lessons we should have learned regarding how such a genocidal regime could exist, then play a blind eye to the genocidal tendencies if the communist nations, of which we can't speak a lot about because it's 'bad for business', just like what our companies probably knew about the Holocaust would have been bad for business for them to speak out about then. This is why we need to talk about it open and honestly, for otherwise we are just as bad as those that looked the other way when it was a certain German regime doing the atrocities.

  110. Accept the BS? Sorry, but this smack by Will Smith has been the best thing to happen to the Oscars whose ratings would have tanked without it. No one would be talking about the Oscars right now if this BS didn't happen. Trying to take a reasonable man argument here is just playing into it more. We went through a whole 'summer of love' in 2020 where people had done worse than smack someone and got away with it. There are still people getting randomly attacked in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco, not to mention Chicago's continuous black on black shooting crime spree, and very few of them are brought to justice. Whether Will Smith's career will be over for smacking Chris Rock is mostly dependent on Will Smith. Jim Carrey, who may or may not have led to one of his girlfriends to commit suicide has no room to talk on this whatsoever. He's as much a scum bag as any of these Hollywood elites are. For all we know, Carrey might be among the vampire child molesting cult that is said to rule Hollywood. Will Smith, is no victim, nor saint here, but among all those who want to be outraged by his sin, none of them could cast the first stone. But it still hits Will the hardest because he was supposed to be one of the good guys. He probably still could come back, but why? Hollywood is a toxic environment. The entertainment business as a whole is full of some of the worse scum on the earth. Anyone who wants any shred of sanity would be a fool for going into it, and would be wise to jump ship out of it.
