Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I found myself thinking about Cyberpunk 2077 while I watched this clip.

I haven't played Cyberpunk 2077 yet.

These types of people are in these positions because they know exactly what they do and who it harms and exactly why it harms people, but they have zero issue profiting off it and hold everyone else in contempt. This fucker and his Paypal Mafia just bought an election.

The answer is Universal Healthcare but that conflicts with his inner crap-it-all-ist and needs to maintain that conflict for appearances. He's only in that position because he was elevated by his peers. So he keeps catching himself because he knows he's speaking to the public and not a closed board room.

Once you see how these people think, you can't unsee it. The leaders and lobbyists of politicans think the same way. They really do know better, but they just don't care and distain those who try to hamper thier profiteering and greedlust.

We did make an argument. We did convince people. Thiel and friends corrupted the media and the political process. Bloomberg threw in a billion dollars in 2020 to overshadow Bernie and buy himself into the primary last minunte to stop Bernie. I saw the corruption 1st hand in 2016 at Philadelphia as a delegate. They bought delegates out. They strong armed in wreckers and used their high paid union executives to do it. Talking to fellow lobbyists and delegates - they held us Bernie people with absolute contempt and distain.

In 2024 they couldn't give a shit about the death and destruction they are responsible for.

That goes all the to top. CNN, the media - they know they are Orwell. I called that out to their face and a bunch CNN staffers scattered like roaches in the light. They are un-fixable. Peaceful protest. Letters and calls to an equally contemptuous staffer who has High High Hopes of AyyyyyOC-big

That's what they think of the American public too. They hate you all. You're in their way and annoying and they do not care. That is why when flattened-bernie speaks no one is in the chamber. That is why "Bernie doesn't get anything done". That is why even when you do win the argument and you got a veto proof house, senate, governorship like California - policies always get shut down. Or even more recently the Equal Right Act for some fucking reason gets blocked by an unhead of unelected powerless rubber stamper and the gouls in power stop in their tracks and throw their arms up .

carlin-pog They got theirs. Fuck you.

for a guy who prides himself on his Machiavellian big-brain-ed-ness, agreeing to this interview was really dumb

like, surely he realizes putting himself in the spotlight is a mistake? I thought his whole thing was being influential from the shadows. His elitist politics doesn't really hold up to direct UV radiation.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I assume he thought Piers Morgan would make things as cruise as possible for him and edit out anything that looks bad

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago

too bad for him Piersy boy is all about those television rattingz, baby! (i assume)

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 19 points 21 hours ago

The ego is often irrepressible with these guys. Especially the Silicon Valley ones who are convinced they're building the future and changing paradigms, of which Thiel might be the clearest example next to Musk.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 29 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

my god he is on so much speed

his mind is totally fragmented this is like been up for 48 hrs brain

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 13 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

He needs to spend some of that drug money on media training.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 4 points 10 hours ago

can't he needs to spend it all on rejuvenation treatments which at this point are only desperately countering the sheer damage he's inflicting on himself with IV injections of dexamphetamine and benzos

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 6 points 19 hours ago

Just tattoo a phrase saying some bullshit like

"[Thing] is the worst form of [thing], except for all the others!"

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 22 points 23 hours ago

Please know that this is not done to make fun of a stutter, which Peter Thiel is noted as having in other media sources; I just literally couldn't track what was being said and wanted to get it all down.

um uh..................mmm...it's...uh..I well I I I I I ju I ju I don't know what uh what to say I...I think I I still think you have you should try to make an argument and I I...I think this is this is you should you there may be things wrong with our healthcare system but you have you have to make an argument and you have to try to find a way to convince people and uh and and and and change it by by that and this is you know this is not going to work.
And um I don't know it's it's it's it's yeah the the yeah there're all sorts of things one could say about it but uh um I I don't I don't I don't think and I I and I again I think you know I think the...the motives feel I I don't I don't I don't wanna go into all the particulars here but I I don't think um I don't think​ there's anything heroic about him

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 42 points 1 day ago

I don’t want to get into all the particulars here

— guy who got into zero particulars

Again,

— guy who didn’t say anything yet

Dude looks like he's withdrawing from whatever designer drugs he took some time ago.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 6 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

"You should try to make an argument..." As though people haven't done everything they could "the nice way" for over 20 years with zero results because the system and its leadership do not want to change and thus cannot be persuaded

[–] miz@hexbear.net 56 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

you have to make uh uh an argument and uh uh convince people that way

The Adjuster made some good arguments and I think most of the country is convinced

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The CEO should have made a good argument and convinced the guy not to shoot him

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

The CEO was defeated in the marketplace of ideas.

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 day ago

He sent 3 strong arguments the way of that CEO but never heard back from him. Absolutely ghosted.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

all that boyblood, just to look wetter than Trump on his wettest day and have your brain short out worse than biden

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 9 points 19 hours ago

He is 25 years younger than Biden

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago

apparently I've never actually seen peter thiel before, wish I hadn't

anyway good luck making an argument that can counter "you're literally killing us"

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He looks like a parboiled tomato

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 13 points 23 hours ago

Like you could just peel his skin away

[–] sloth@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

he really does

:nelson-muntz:

[–] iie@hexbear.net 10 points 22 hours ago

i'm trying to think of an argument that would make it not be profitable to deny me healthcare

[–] miz@hexbear.net 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

why does he look like he just had VR goggles violently torn off his face with a pair of forceps
