I have to say Philion, I've enjoyed his content so far for a while but I just find him super fucking smug and annoying. He calls himself an investigative journalist but I wish he wouldn't carry himself like such a know-it-all.
He lost me completely when he released this;
And just for reference, his latest video
Don't know enough about the ape nft shit but its pretty obvious it was a scam like most nfts and shitcoins are, the video spends a lot of fucking time trying to make a connection to "dose darn natzees!" instead of going straight to the obvious reason behind the entire thing:
money.
In a way this idiot ytuber does the same shit the polfags he hates so much do which is create endless complexity and conspiracy about easy shit like a fucking internet scam. There's no conspiracy, its literally some dudes who want your money, stupid.
Or maybe he does and he's another amoral fuck who only wants money hence the clickbait.............but maybe its both? maybe he's huffing his own farts and actually believes this shit? his accelerationism video makes the same mistake trying to tie it to some total nobodies who believe in occult crap when in reality 99% of accelerationists were (as
in the past since its becoming a dead meme, its heyday being around 2016-17) edgelords who simply wanted to see the world collapse. You could see the difference between that and classic internet nazis when covid and then the ukraine war began and when questioned about not being happy about this acceleration /pol/ said they didn't see how turning the world into a biological nuclear nightmare would benefit the white race.
True accelerationists wouldn't give a fuck. Going back to the fart huffing, this guy is trooning out right? That would explain how he mentions the automated gay luxury communism meme but avoid criticizing the sheer absurdity of thinking that if automation reached those levels its owners would simply allow a bunch of dog walkers with college debt take over their trillion-dollar tech.
If anything they are gonna get shot down by automated cops like those from elysium, another commie-wannabe movie full of plotholes but at least it didn't pretend that future oligarchs with automated everything would be as dumb as not having automated death squads.
It was literally made up by /pol/ as a joke to see how easily they could dupe liberals. It worked like a charm, but rather than just admit they got tricked, the media kept pushing the narrative that the OK sign is indeed a racist symbol.
Their reasoning/cope is that because /pol/ started it as a joke it became true and now the sign is racist because they (the racist who made the joke) use it as something racist, which is a lot of circular logic to avoid admitting they got duped hard.
