Reaction videos are an occasional guilty pleasure of mine. But I avoid channels that are explicitly about "reactions" because as UlyssesT said, they end up all being the same reaction to different things.

I do genuinely enjoy seeing people be excited and happy. But so much of that "industry" is fake. People either go over the top or provide nothing in addition.

I fortunately don't have any of this. I do exercise regularly but I wonder how long it is before some chronic pain starts appearing.

It was awesome back in the day. Its clunky but still fun today. While it was a little campy during the cutscenes, it was actually supposed to have a more serious tone than RA2.

It also answers the question of what if Stalin didn't stop at Berlin.

I have been enjoying pop os. A lot more plug and play than I was expecting.

I have found that liberals really, really, hate being exposed as equals to republicans.

You mean this ridiculous freakshow fight that had no chance of happening has been a ruse for attention all along?!

I love how he capitalized DESTROYS.

Yes, nothing proves you are intelligence and power incarnate like obsessively criticizing a live movie adaptation of a children's toy.

Can you imagine this thumbnail posted in something like 2010?

I would think either some kid ripping apart Barbie dolls like Sid for 45 minutes... or porn.

The main issue I find with trying to argue on this front is that it is a fight that isn't needed.

Anyone who is usually arguing this, is usually is coming from some country that has literally no moral high-horse to speak on these issues. Especially if they are American. The genocide of Native Americans, enslavement of Black people, or even contemporary imperialism.

Why are they not up in arms about the largest imprisoned population in the world? Why don't they take issue with the treatment of homeless people? Why don't they take issue with the US ongoing support of coups and invasions of other countries?

They turn a blind eye to these issues because it isn't about the issues at all. The reason they bring up the Tianamen square massacre and the Uighur genocide is because they want to attack communism. You only need to point this out to them when they get upset and try to dismiss other issues as "whataboutism". Strip their intent down to its naked truth and expose their virtue signaling with the overwhelming amount of active atrocities they don't seem to care about.

Being succinct and to the point about why they actually care about arguing these things, because I fucking promise you they don't give a shit about those people. They want communism to fail. Hell, just troll them and talk about the My Lai Massacre or Kent State.

The point I make using this avenue of argument is that if you try to argue "what actually happened" its just going to be your facts vs theirs. They are the ones creating a moral argument, so show them that even they don't believe what they are preaching.
