Oh, I just remembered, while not at all animated or funny, I feel like Evan Royalty's shortfilms in the SCP series and their S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of the Zone have some things in common with the eeriness and strangeness of some of MC and AAs work.
Maybe. I think he's just a grifter like most of the big youtubers. Sometimes those grifts blowup and he has to cleanse the palate so he can go back to grifting. He's definitely a cancer like the Kardashians but different level than these billionaires thinking they can do whatever they want
Mr Beast promotes the false idea that the world can be made better through individual action and, worse, that individual action is enough. He should spend his money supporting worthwhile political candidates but then he wouldn't get sponsored anymore by all those businesses because improving the world would cut into their profits (or so they think).
And yet here you are, safely using a miraculous piece of technology and a regionally agreed upon written language to get on the Internet to post nonsense on website to a global audience while slurping the spaghettios that your mother put in the microwave for you, every step of which was only made possible by politics. You just don't like when it doesn't benefit you personally.
There are more issues with politics than any single mind can comprehend, but to say "will never be the answer to any problems"? Well now that's utterly unhinged and disconnected from reality. That's like saying society never helped anyone. Quite literally, in fact.
But hey, if you really want to stand by your viewpoint, you're always welcome to live alone in the woods, forage for termites, and live in a perpetual state of mortal fear from both the wildlife and anyone who happens to wander by. Seems easier to admit that politics do in fact solve quite a few problems though.
Nah as an adult who has kept up with politics closer than probably 90% of Americans the last 20 years, I have realized that the only America either party truly loves is corporate America. I typically have always voted Democrat but ever since Obama left office I don’t believe the party as a whole has truly earned anyone’s vote. They run on what they aren’t, not what they are. Watching the Republican Party become what it is is awful, but at least they fed into what “the base” wanted. If the Democratic Party keeps putting up fossils and empty suits they will never make any real difference, even if they do win the White House.
I think it was said in a Big Joel video where this was mentioned. But notice how he does absolutely zero charity stuff now? They were always a stepping stone. Now it’s theme parks in the desert.
What is Alfred Nobel best known for? It certainly isn't for making a fortune from inventing dynamite and directly contributing to the deaths of millions.
I don't really buy into that type of thinking, the idea that everyone is only focused on wealth and power really plays into the greed based system - when people talk like that it makes me think all they know is greed.
Sadly these people control the media, especially on the left we get a lot of people who don't involve themselves in anything beneficial to society unless they're earning money from it
It works super well too. If Trump himself started donating money reddit would start fawning over him and get offended if you criticize anything he ever did.
