I'm more energized than I ever have been in my life. This election has radicalized me basically though so everyone's mileage may vary.

I want Republicans destroyed, in a darkest path of revenge sort of way. I want to see their very party disintegrated before my eyes. So I can't get complacent!

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=233775313&postcount=336

I know, no two ways about it. I'm genuinely radicalized... I am furious at America and Republicans. One of my life's goals now is to live long enough to see them destroyed, and diminished as a relevant factor in American politics. Before I thought Republicans were a necessary component of this country, still worth saving. After seeing how they treated Obama, how they stole Garland's seat, how they supported this monster Trump... I want nothing but to see them eviscerated. Republicans are more dangerous to Americans than ISIS.

If you think my posts here are passionate though, hoooo boy. Don't read my twitter timeline lol

At least he admits he's a radical now? So self-awareness is still present.

Who know what this guy will will do if Dems lose big in 2018.

Don't read my Twitter timeline because you'll see that Puerto Rico trip I took where I either A) Spent some time being cop banned / B) Picked up more heroin / C) Picked up crack.

From his postings lately I'm guessing A and C.

Amir0x needs to be on a fucking watch list 

[benjipwns]

I mean I've always followed politics obsessively, (here is a thread about the 2006 mid-terms I made on neoGAF. Memories! Simpler times...) but with Trump the rules have changed. To me this is a struggle for the soul of this country now, and I'm willing to accept any level of dirty politics to wrestle power away from Republicans. I am done trying to play by the rules and just accept them winning after shitting on every traditional political convention.

Man. No. Punching literal Nazi's is as far as I'd go. We're not at the bloody violence level yet

this is "radicalized" politics now?

[benjipwns]

Wow. This is a really sad situation. Perhaps it's time to realise your political system is set up so that the ruling minority keeps winning.

It's out of your hands unless you decide to take action outside of the system. You need a political revolution.

Amir0x needs to be on a fucking watch list

Amri0x is participating in the soft bigotry of low expectations when a "radical" "passionate" extremist position is a semi-updated American Taliban insult.

[FatalT]

Republicans are far more dangerous to the US than ISIS is. That's not even a debate.

Thankfully, they do more damage to their own voters than to blue states.

You're not wrong there. ISIS can't do shit to the US except for converting redpill-types into jihadists for their cause because they can't get laid. That's about it.

Republicans though? Welp. I enjoyed having insurance last year and the rest of this year I'll try to go to the doctor more.

[benjipwns]

Sounds like the kind of collectivist nonsense a fascist would talk about. I dunno maybe it's just me*.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

*And "Benito":

Fascism sees in the world not only those superficial, material aspects in which man appears as an individual, standing by himself, self-centered, subject to natural law, which instinctively urges him toward a life of selfish momentary pleasure; it sees not only the individual but the nation and the country; individuals and generations bound together by a moral law, with common traditions and a mission which suppressing the instinct for life closed in a brief circle of pleasure, builds up a higher life, founded on duty, a life free from the limitations of time and space, in which the individual, by self-sacrifice, the renunciation of self-interest, by death itself, can achieve that purely spiritual existence in which his value as a man consists.
...
The Fascist conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism, is totalitarian, and the Fascist  State  - a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values - interprets, develops, and potentates the whole life of a people

The Fascist State, as a higher and more powerful expression of personality, is a force, but a spiritual one. It sums up all the manifestations of the moral and intellectual life of man. Its functions cannot therefore be limited to those of enforcing order and keeping the peace, as the liberal doctrine had it. It is no mere mechanical device for defining the sphere within which the individual may duly exercise his supposed rights. The Fascist State is an inwardly accepted standard and rule of conduct, a discipline of the whole person; it permeates the will no less than the intellect. It stands for a principle which becomes the central motive of man as a member of civilized society, sinking deep down into his personality; it dwells in the heart of the man of action and of the thinker, of the artist and of the man of science: soul of the soul

Fascism is therefore opposed to that form of democracy which equates a nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of the largest number; but it is the purest form of  democracy if the nation be considered as it should be from the point of view of quality rather than quantity, as an idea, the mightiest because the most ethical, the most coherent, the truest, expressing itself in a people as the conscience and will of the few, if not, indeed, of one, and ending to express itself in the conscience and the will of the mass, of the whole group ethnically molded by natural and historical conditions into a nation, advancing, as one conscience and one will, along the self same line of development and spiritual formation. Not a race, nor a geographically defined region, but a people, historically perpetuating itself; a multitude unified by an idea and imbued with the will to live, the will to power, self-consciousness, personality.

In so far as it is embodied in a State, this higher personality becomes a nation. It is not the nation which generates the State; that is an antiquated naturalistic concept which afforded a basis for XIXth century publicity in favor of national governments. Rather is it the State which creates the nation, conferring volition and therefore real life on a people made aware of their moral unity.

The right to national independence does not arise from any merely literary and idealistic form of self-consciousness; still less from a more or less passive and unconscious de facto situation, but from an active, self-conscious, political will expressing itself in action and ready to prove its rights. It arises, in short, from the existence, at least in fieri, of a State. Indeed, it is the State which, as the expression of a universal ethical will, creates the right to national independence

Shit, they really want his head don't they (this one from Polygon).

Despite PewDiePie’s joking attitude toward the controversy, he has been repeatedly affected by YouTube’s decisions. Immediately following the controversy surrounding his anti-Semitic videos, he was dropped from Disney’s Maker Studios and, as he said himself, has lost a number of advertising partners because of his material. Whether or not he has more success on Twitch is yet to be seen.

Twitch also has its own set of ethics and rules that streamers must abide by. Any stream that “promotes, or encourages discrimination, harassment, or violence based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, or nationality” is considered hate speech and is strictly prohibited. PewDiePie’s videos don’t do this, but some of his previous videos contain Hitler jokes and the aforementioned anti-Semitic content, which could be seen as questionable by Twitch’s guidelines. Inappropriate behavior such as “nudity and conduct involving overtly sexual behavior and/or attire” or anything overtly sexual is also prohibited.

Polygon has reached out to Twitch for comment on PewDiePie’s content and will update when more information becomes available.

If a potential war can be averted through negotiation is that not a good thing?  Or is it only bad because it's Trump?  Would they rather see a land war or god forbid a nuke being dropped on Seoul or Tokyo?

You obviously don't make a shitty Chamberlain-esque deal but to scoff at the idea of a negotiated solution is pretty suspect.

Umm...how do they expect things to get done? Overall, it's not a bad lever to pull given the situation.

They're being left behind but they've never been capable of creating an audience on their own, they've always just been there to draft off of people who were capable of generating an audience.  All they really knew how to do is peddle clickbait and since people have moved on from that, they are shit out of ideas.  Most of them have no charisma, personality (other than "generic balding social justice guy with a beard and maybe glasses"), or salesmanship.  I find PDP obnoxious but at least he is able to generate an audience; Ben Kuchera couldn't do it if his life depended on it.  PDP's audience couldn't give two shits about what they have to say either so they are totally shit out of luck if they're hoping to take him down.

I think the main objection is that this seems an barely considered offer that contradicts Trump's entire campaign, meaning a Chamberlain deal is likely.

It's a fungible component of the joke, so it flags as odd to use given the risks taken in pursuit of a low payoff. "Look at all the wild stuff on the internet!" wasn't cutting edge humor when people had CompuServe subscriptions, let alone now.

Despite years of diligent work by Holocaust deniers hard and soft-core, it's still a topic you'd tread carefully in if you were someone with something to lose and had no ulterior motives.

[etiolate]

Is anyone besides PDP being 'targeted'?

There are a lot of youtubers who have said that they've had their videos demonetized in the past two weeks. This is across genre of content/political spectrums, and seems to have happened after the PDP hit piece from WSJ and advertisers backing out of general youtube content.

This is David Pakman, a former TYT guy, talking about it in regards to his channel.

[Rufus]

I know advertisers have moved away from senselessly shotgunning their ads everywhere, but I've chalked it up to this, rather than the PDP thing:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/mar/25/google-youtube-advertising-extremist-content-att-verizon

That doesn't answer my question though.

[Great Rumbler]

Do I have to point out that the Kill all the jews was a joke about how expansive and ridiculous the things you can do on the internet with money are?

It was, yes, which is why I said it was merely very stupid, and not evil.

[etiolate]

That is the fallout of the PDP thing, not the reason for the fallout itself. I find it funny that a company thinks anyone buys that they just found out the way google advertising works. It's search/purchase related to the individual and there's not any handshake between partner and content. 

But you're right in that I didn't really answer your question. JonTron would be another example, but he opened his mouth and invited it himself. The idea is that, similar to what Polygon is doing with Twitch, WSJ is reaching out to the companies to say "Hey Pewdie and YT is saying nazi shit to sell Coke! Care to comment?" Which is an approach less interested in the comment and more interested in the fallout that it creates.

[Steve Contra]

One of the main reasons for the wsj doing what it did is to expose a level of corporate incompetence in regards to new media shit like pewdiepie. Suddenly everyone was like, holy shit, these guys don't know what's happening with their advertising dollars online. It's kind of the bread and butter of what the journal reporting does.

[zepblackstar]

and the fallout from that is oh hey advertisers, bring your money back to us, the safe place

[benjipwns]

Internet advertising isn't going anywhere, man. It's a massive billion dollar industry.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Newsfeed pls.
I can't think of a more Kara sentence.

[benjipwns]

YouTube has been seemingly randomly demonetizing accounts for years. A lot of it is because it's automated like their flagging system. Happened years ago to a guy I know who works for 2K and the account was mostly videos of him doing sporting things. He contacted support and they reversed it.

But it's probably really a backdoor censorship plot by shadowy forces. Jason of Maoist Rebel News got hit with it too and there's no coincidence that they're paying attention to his account.

[etiolate]

I think petty only applies as a term on an individual basis. Ben Kuchera is petty about it because his silly job got upstaged by YT people. However, on a larger scale, it's similar to the old mp3 war. It's about the means a company uses to control information and consumption as much as they can to ensure their own success, and any sort of Do it Yourself approach to media threatens that.

[Rufus]

Enthusiast niches are the only areas where Youtube channels can compete with dedicated publications or 'old media'. I'm sure Youtube wants top replace TV, but user generated content can only carry you so far.

Anyway, these people seem to know what they're talking about. Looks like this "brand safety" thing has been brewing for a while:

Yeesh. GAF is a pretty big part of some people's life, huh? 

The rooms' topic though.

For the gilded age appearance the website maintains to the public eye, there’s an underbelly to it that’s kept in the dark. Within the shadows of NeoGAF we see the bitter and ugly side of it all.
