Here's a summary. 1) Proclaiming that various (openly and self labeled) leftists people and organizations aren't leftist because... (reasons?). If they aren't leftist, that would make them liars because they themselves identify as Democrats and/or supporting the left. No logic or rational here. 2) The burden of proof is on the accused (not the accuser). This runs counter to Democracy. Is he Marxist Communist? I can say that, right, since it's A-ok to throw around labels and the burden of proof is on him (the accused). lol 3) If you're anti-left, you're racist and shouldn't be allowed any platforms to speak. Paraphrasing. But yeah, there's one sentence in the vid he actually says that. 4) Freedom of speech = censor your political opponent. I'd support censoring racists and people calling for hate & violence. But see 3 (above), anybody is who is anti-left, he views as racist. Thus, he believes in censoring all political opposition. 5) If anybody protests being censored, "Fuck 'em". "You're either with us or against." Very Bush-esque. 6) Lastly, the overarching theme of the video... racist labels aren't commonly overused and misapplied by media & people on the left. I call bullshit on the entire theme of his video, because I've seen this done many times in the microcosm of online forums, not just wider mainstream media.

I don't know Shaun's political beliefs besides being left of center. He is one of the first youtubers to basically be an "anti-anti-SJW" and challenge the right wing youtube political sphere. He is one of the few youtubers I have notifications on when he posts a video. Keep in mind he is not from the USA so calling him out on things like the 1st Amendment doesn't exactly apply(I've seen people do this in the comments sometimes. Anyway Crowder has consistently had people who rub shoulders with or are out and out white nationalists is the point of the video.

This is obviously being used as a cover for more wide-sweeping censorship. They're censoring anybody who expresses opposing views. Even that Alexander Grace dude got demonetized and, as far as I could tell, he's been completely apolitical & mild-mannered. He frequently interviews women, getting their honest take on relationships. Obviously, such interviews expose the truth of female nature (the info is direct from the source, so none can argue). Evidently, the leftists at YT see that as a threat to feminist doctrine. This is just one example, among many others.

I don't disagree about demonetizing Crowder. He certainly appears racist and homophobic. More likely though, he's pushing societal boundaries intentionally just for ratings and money. Unfortunately, as another video (posted in another thread) pointed it, this backfired and made Crowder more popular than ever.
Regardless, the bigger issue is how Youtube technocrats used him and the one incident as an excuse to nuke all content creators who express any viewpoint that doesn't fit the left's agenda. I'm not blanket against the left. In fact, I agree with them on a number of issues. However, I think people should have the right to disagree and express their own pov's. Otherwise, we're stuck being force-fed the propaganda of the left, whose ideologies seemingly changes day to day, week to week. imo, their biggest flaw is the non-stop trying to create new victim groups and reinforce existing ones, which effectively divides the country and weakens our society. They often try & disguise it as something good, such as the MeToo "believe all women" movement. I understand many cases are legit. That's not the point. The problem is with believing "all" women and taking the accusations at face value, prior to or without a trial. Many of these cases have turned out to be false accusations - witch hunt paranoia, revenge motivated, or gold-digging seeking to profit (hoping for a big payout). This is one instance the Conservatives are in the right... i.e. stick to rule of law, innocent until proven guilty, ferret out true justice.
Destroying innocent peoples' lives (to satisfy a political agenda, personal agenda, or monetary gain) should be criminal. imo, there should be legal consequences for people who throw around false accusations, when doing so causes unjust damages to another person or persons.

From what I've seen of Stefan Molyneux's videos, at worst, he seems to be something of an intellectual elitist. He's pro-immigration, when it's legal immigration (specifically, high IQ immigrants with job skills and so forth), regardless of their race. He's against unfettered illegal immigration from poor countries, where the immigrants are typically unskilled and uneducated. His primary argument for this is that he's against increasing welfare, because our nation is already so indebted that we simply can't afford to take in more welfare recipients.
If he's racist, why would he do vids helping foreigners and minorities?

Speaking of debt, Stefan just released a new video on the topic.

He encourages men to get married and start families. He's definitely not a red pill guy. So I doubt he has issue with (all) women. He has issues with certain types of people, both men and women, behaving irresponsibly to the detriment of society. Yeah, he calls out women for bad behaviors in this vid. But he also calls out men for their bad behaviors in other vids. "free grain" Since we don't have economic data from the Roman empire, he's obviously using this as an analogy for the welfare state. I doubt he would've said it's "free" though. It takes time, labor, money to even produce something as rudimentary as grain and Stefan knows this. And just because you tax citizens to pay for something and redistribute it to others, that doesn't make it free either. Some of the comments below YT vids have mentioned this topic. They say women were granted property rights in Roman Empire and, following that, there was a decline in grain production. I don't how true that is or if it's "red pill" nonsense to make women look bad. But I do know that the collapse of most empires or states (Mayans, USSR, and now Venezuela, etc) usually coincides with famine. So I wouldn't doubt if there grain/food shortages that (at least in part) led to the Roman collapse. Historically, people do tend to revolt or flee to new lands when there's a extreme scarcity of food.

So Warp Records has been doing their 30th anniversary event. 3 days of music. I've had it on most of the weekend. A lot of it is old but IDM groups have been playing new material. Boards of Canada is my favorite band and they are set to play their first new material since 2013 in a few hours. Danny Brown had a set but it was a bunch of really meh hiphop. Since Warp is a UK label I have heard so many British accents I feel like an honorary UK citizen now lol www.nts.live/schedule

Speaking about Warp, LFO by LFO is still one of my favorite techno tracks ever. I bought it way back in the day on a single-CD.

I'm hopeful for it but the thing is I have tried to get into Witcher 3 and it just doesn't grab me at all and its made by the same people. Looks cool tho.

I'm reluctant to play Witcher 3 because I read it's a huge time sink. It has about 200 hours of gameplay for an average paced completionist and over 300 hours if you don't rush through it & completionist. howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=40171I'm somewhat optimistic about Cyberpunk 2077. The gameplay looks very different and more varied than the Witcher series. It seems they're trying to emulate Deus Ex gameplay mechanics, giving the player multiple ways to play through the game (including non-violent play through, just like Deus Ex did).

Of course, there should be affordable housing for us peons who earn regular wages. Sadly, one of the comments mentions that the apartments weren't built and the plans were cancelled. The comment says, six months after the video was produced, he sold the property to some luxury hotel brand. I presume the dude planning the apartments was eventually forced out because the city continued throwing up bureaucratic & political road blocks. At some point, the legal fees piled up too high and the project was no longer feasible. Millions of $'s wasted and no happy ending. Edit: No doubt, the people heading up the luxury hotel brand will make sure the right palms are greased and the pricey hotel will get built. If it's any consolation, there are worse cities in the world.

Someone reverse engineered the Diablo 1 source and then someone ported it to the switch
