    It’s about understanding the difference between the dictionary definitions of “communism” and “capitalism” and how they are actually practiced in the real life.

    One of them is a system where the super rich hoard all the wealth and use the news media they own to keep the poor and middle classes fighting with each other while they, the rich, run off with all the f*cking money.

    “But wait a minute,” you ask. “Aren’t those the same thing” Yeah. Congratulations. You GOT it.











  • One of the ways to avoid a copyright strike is if you copy other people’s work, then what you upload must be “transformative” i.e. you have alter that source content significantly. Satire / Parody are two ways to do that.

    But the cheapest, laziest way to “transform” content is to do reaction videos to it. And some people don’t even do that. They’ll just sit there, eating their dinner . . . occasionally glancing at the screen and going, “huh.” Lazy jerks.
