Well, that's something.

I feel really foolish that it took me at least a minute to realize that by "I did not give up Target and Taco Bell to live in a dictatorship" that the intended meaning was "I didn't move to the Zionist Entity for the colony to have specifically this leadership"

Like I could glean that this was a Zionist protesting Netanyahu, probably the judicial reform specifically, but I just could not mentally connect "giving up Target and Taco Bell" with "leaving Seppoland"... Because like why would Target and Taco Bell be the two things someone would miss most from Seppoland? Like even out of the treats. Fuck me I remember such fond memories of visiting Seppoland, like feeling my soul leaving my body as I walked through an endless labyrinth of plastic junk and high fructose corn syrup; or waiting in line to order low-grade slop to reduce my life expectancy, while the guy in front of me had a "Let's Go Brandon" Three Percenters t-shirt on, and there was just a straight-up police SUV in the parking lot outside. Ain't that something you could just get soooo homesick for?

👏 More! 👏 Women! 👏 War! 👏 Criminals!

Welp, can't say I was expecting to open the blurred thumbnail and see AI generated Zionist thinly-veiled homoerotic foot fetish material. Like, this isn't even the funny kind of thinly-veiled homoerotic foot fetish material, it's just gross to know that the world became just a little bit warmer so that one dipshit could support a genocide while simultaneously reducing it to his desire to see hot girl-on-girl toe sucking action.

Nice thesis and antithesis there, but I must propose the synthesis "offline enough to not know about Japan through pop culture soft power shit, but also totally knew his dad was being an ass but opted not to say anything in order to get a free trip to Japan"

I haven't actually read any of the talk pages but I'm reckoning that the Monty Hall problem and 0.999... is just people going

I cannot tell you how embarrassingly long it took me to realize that "MILF" stood for "Mother {I'd Like to Fuck|R E L A T I V E C L A U S E}" rather than "{Mother|V O C A T I V E}, I'd Like to Fuck"

My friend you fucking know why, it's the same reason why I don't trust self-proclaimed "progressive/leftist whites" until they prove themselves also, and it's also the reason why I tend to go out of my way to prove myself early on too. Like, I have touched grass and I have been to predominantly white activist spaces, I have seen white bullshit and I have done white bullshit. I have learned through all practical experience not to trust whites for even a second, especially not those who refers to whites as a """we""" or in any way identify with whiteness, as if "white" is an actual meaningful group identity rather than a fucking Indiana Jones sandbag of a """culture""" whose continued existence is inherently destructive and antithetical to decolonization, anti-imperialism, Black liberation, and socialism.

You do not have to ask "why" you lack an ability to trust whites, you are in fact very wise to do so. It is not something you should feel guilty about, as if you're being racist by "judging books by their covers", it is in fact whites who are racist and it is on whites to prove themselves to you.

Initial state: A great leftist series on YouTube.

Step 1: Welp, my first video to my own YouTube channel. Nobody's gonna watch this, but hey, it was fun to make, maybe it'll be useful to someone eventually.

Step 2: Ope, I made it big by some fluke of the algorithm! Damn these expectations, I want to keep everybody satisfied, but I just don't have time...

Step 3: But if I make a Patreon, then I can take time off work to make more videos, which means I get to share more knowledge with people...

Step 4: And if I get editors and scriptwriters et cetera, I -- er, my team -- can make more videos, which means I get to share more knowledge with people...

Step 5: Then if I start selling merch I can take even more time off work and pay more people to make even more videos, and spread awareness of this show, which means that I get to share even more knowledge with people...

Step 6: You know, taking time off work is super nice, I should make this my full-time job: I get to live the dream and share even more knowledge with people!

Step 7: You know, I've got all these people on my Patreon, I should give them at least some perks, as a token of my thanks for their support...

Step 8: Wow, uhh, these people are actually paying quite a bit more than I expected when I first started this... I dunno, I guess I'll give them bonus videos? Maybe some early access, too? Those are popular perks.

Step 9: Honestly, I'm exhausted from chasing the algorithm and meeting the demands of my patrons and free viewers alike, but thankfully I've got all this passive income, right? So I'll start posting less to YouTube, they'll understand.

Step 10: You know, I'm surprised by how little I can upload to YouTube and still be able to keep this stuff going. I've gotta keep the patrons satisfied, though... Especially the people at the top tiers, I don't want them spending their money on nothing! So you know what? I'm just gonna move some of these perks up a tier or two. The lower tiers wouldn't mind, right? They didn't mind when I was posting less before, they understood the alienation that comes from YouTube and Patreon stealing my -- er, my team's -- surplus value, those lower-tier patrons are just here to support me.

Step 11: Uh oh, some of my lower-tier patrons are leaving, but at least I've still got this Supreme Soviet level patron who's paying me $4,000 per month, so I'm still doing OK. I guess I'll ask if he could cover the lost... profit... OK, he will if I adjust my content a bit, and it's not like I haven't adjusted my content before, I did have to tone myself down a bit for the algorithm, but it was all for the greater good, right? And after all, all those free viewers and lower-tier patrons are just freebooters, right? Like, my content is worth this much, so that's how much people should pay for it, right?

Final state: Leftist YouTube Series is the 200-episode-long free prequel to Liberal YouTube Series, which releases two free episodes per year as a free trial. The subscription fee to get the rest of the series is your firstborn child. The series is created by Guy Onceler, owner of Guy Onceler Studios Inc. He makes cameo appearances in a few episodes but mostly delegates hosting to two of his employees.

Edit: Damn how could I forget the sponsor deals, pretend that I included something about having to modify the content a bit for the sponsors and then by the end 49% of the free videos' runtime is sponsor deals

Edit 2: Oh and how could I forget how YouTube very explicitly pushes for "toning down" by taking down or demonetizing videos with certain types of content, which encourages Patreon as a place to put uncensored versions of videos.

Well, why stop there?

Someone: "Nooo, I can't read leftist theory because reasons"

"It's very short", you say, oh please, how short could it possibly-- oh.

That actually is pretty short.

Huh.
