But not before harvesting a bunch of personal info.

No one ever gets to be a Nazi "ironically" - pretend to be a Nazi, and you're a Nazi. He could agree with me on a dozen issues, and he'd still be a Nazi (and it might make me question that much agreement). Seems awfully convenient all these recent forays into Linux and talking about degoogling - almost like after years of keeping a lower profile, he and his team are trying really hard to rehabilitate his public image.

This isn't YouTuber "drama" - this is a guy who repeatedly engaged in very public examples of bigotry and parroting Nazi symbols and salutes. So yeah - we do in fact know.

Less nice: the arcs of nazisms and bigotry

I setup my new account on a new instance a bit ago but want to stick it out to the end on this one!

I think the difference is that sealioning is a pattern of behavior, rather than just occasionally asking for a source. It describes the lack of intent to engage in good faith discussion and instead just is a method of trolling.

I picked up a set of 10" x 10" tempered glass cutting boards and have been really happy with them. Dishwasher safe, non-porous, easy to handwash and easy to use. This was after years of using every other material. And no, my knives are fine.

I think you're confusing social media and late stage capitalism. Social media hasn't done anything to anyone, capitalism has used social media to further its own ends.

Not sure, but your description reminds me of Mercury Rising with Bruce Willis? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120749/

Original 'Blade' fans are also 'baffled' by delay in Marvel's movie reboot.

One other thing I haven't seen mentioned is selling ice cream is only a sustainable business for a few months out of the year in many places. Whereas you can sell burgers/dogs/etc year-round. But yeah, as far as I know they've always sold fast food - their burgers were a fave of mine when I was a kid in the 70s.

What a fucking waste of resources

I think a lot of it is that he spends much more strategically and with lots of strings attached. He also does a lot of work to basically indoctrinate folks who aren't big players and fund them until they are - JD Vance being a prime example. He's basically developed into a cult leader for rich wannabes and ends up owning their asses.

That was the one that came immediately to mind for me - there was a behind the scenes thing where he talked about sourcing and using these very niche old lenses.

It's like every company in the world just hired the world's most incompetent intern, won't fire them after multiple mistakes, and we're all supposed to put up with it.

Can't wait for someone to rely on AI to update food allergen info on a product! 🙄

Like all of his fanboys, you first attempted to minimize his history by saying it was all about him saying the "N" word. When I said it was actually more than that and provided info about the most egregious example, you said "oh, that was so long ago!". I provide info on another incident from 3 years ago, and you're complaining about how I'm trying to castrate the guy.

If you don't like factual statements about his history of behavior and the obvious patterns, maybe don't idolize an asshole? But don't come into public spaces and try and sell it as "Oh, he just said a naughty word once. Isn't weird how upset people were about that? He was young/it was a long time ago/he's changed now."

Yeah, because there hasn't been anything since then, right?

Or does the counter automatically get reset every time there's another apology video? There have been so many, after all.

The lengths some of you all go to in order to defend a racist, Nazi-cosplaying edgelord who makes fun of people with disabilities is a little insane.

"Kjellberg tacitly compares himself to Hitler, gives a Nazi salute, and shows a series of clips of Nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler Youth."

Yeah, if you don't see "nazi" after that, that's on you I think.

More so for being/cosplaying (same thing) as a fucking nazi https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/2/17/14613234/pewdiepie-nazi-satire-alt-right

I really wish articles like this made it more clear that this was under government orders.
