I sometimes wonder if it's appropriate to be mad at a child for shitty takes, but I think "driving a car that's worth more than my annual pay" qualifies you as an adult in the context of a revolutionary tribunal.

Yes, because he is almost certainly being paid by the DNC to post that shit.

He's 21 lmao. Does everyone over 30 confuse college kids as minors? I'm 20 and people older than me usually think I'm a high schooler, but people my age can tell I'm not
You know how, back when you were in high school, you'd occasionally see middle schoolers and think "We weren't that small, were we?"
That basically keeps going your whole life, but the categories get more stretched out the older you get. 30 and 40 year olds start complaining, "Oooh, I'm so old, everything hurts!" and it's like, dude, you're barely half way there.

No thank you, I will not be willfully exposing myself to a child's political views today 
Also, c/the_dunk_tank
Except Cara Cunningham was actually right. People should have left Britney alone
We who mocked were forced to learn humility and repent our callous ways.

their biggest weakness is they're high on their own supply
ppl like this actually believe what they're saying. It's so based and they're gonna crash so hard when the house of cards topples
It is just kind of sad to have such a myopic worldview that you cannot imagine anything being better than a fucking Biden presidency. Wow, there was job growth after large parts of the economy was closed down due to quarantines which you ended forcing people back to precarious work during a still ongoing pandemic. What a fucking achievement.
It is also a bit wanting to have your cake and eat it too, they pretend to care for the poor and want to be seen as "good people", but they're still solidly in the fuck you got mine mindset.

we dont care
i can tell
There are few symptoms of sheer liberal privilege more obnoxious than the urge to tell the world how much they don't care.

Literally can not parse anything he said because he talks too fast and provides you absolutely no time to process any opposition you might have to what he says before saying the next thing. It just comes off as annoying noise.
It's gish gallop in video form.
gish gallop
I will pick only one example:
Biden invested 500 billion into [climate change]
No. During Biden's presidency according to the PR talking points presented private companies did claim to have invested or are about to invest up to $500 billion in manufacturing and clean energy. Two very different things.
[China] spent $546 billion in 2022 on investments that included solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and batteries.
That is nearly four times the amount of U.S. investments, which totaled $141 billion.
The European Union was second to China with $180 billion in clean energy investments
Seems that 
does more than 
( Or Trump 
) even if you only look at clean energy for China.
yeah but it's unfair to compare China to America because China have a functioning state
Literally can not parse anything he said because he talks too fast and provides you absolutely no time to process any opposition you might have to what he says before saying the next thing. It just comes off as annoying noise.
Part of it is a generational divide, and part of it really is "influencer" culture being deliberately aggressively obnoxious noise.
It comes off as the same behaviour that occurs when I mention the soviet union. You get 5-8 different things about atrocities/genocide/purge/whatever thrown in your face with demands for you to counter/explain all of them all at the same time, and because that would take writing 5000+ words it shuts down conversation.
That's precisely what this is. It's the same fucking thing but in video format. The goal of it is purely to make any response you make too long for anyone to engage with.
It is a gish gallop, yeah.
It's like when some sh.itjust.works or programming.dev cryptofascist showed up and said WHAT ABOUT GOMMUNISM VULVULZULA GORILLION DEAD ALSO HUMAN NATURE BUT WHO WILL INNOVATE YOU'RE ALL CHINESE AND/OR RUSSIAN BOTS ALSO YOU'RE PRIVILEGED RICH KIDS ALSO YOU DON'T HAVE REAL JOBS ALSO YOU HAVE MENTAL ILLNESS WHICH MEANS YOU ARE FUNDAMENTALLY A BAD PERSON 
It is one of the most irritating and bad faith tactics they use. I always try to highlight this and then rein them in a bit, making them pick one at a time to go into in more detail in a good faith way, and that we can pick through them one by one but doing it all at once is unfeasible. 99% of the time they immediately disengage because they're not interested in a good faith discussion.
The best and only outcome I think that is possible when this happens is trying to highlight to other readers that the user of this tactic is not acting in good faith and is not interested in truth.

I was a theater kid...
And the other theater kids at my school were assholes that gave me the shittiest parts in plays because I was poor.

Yeah, I don’t get the theater kid hatred. The theater kids in my school were spread pretty evenly across other cliques. Reading these comments you’d think all theater kids are basically Sharpay from HSM

I knew some theater kids when I was a kid, and I even tried to fit in with them, but I was too poor and the arrogant pricks shunned and mocked me instead. Going to class was hell with them around. They were full of crocodile tears for The Lion King, though. 
So Daou never ended up being a scammer, huh? I'm pleasantly surprised.
