I can one more to the dogpille.

Two years ago IDAT tricked Brandon Herrera into making an anti-gun video with him. I remember thinking back then that this was one of the scummiest things ever.

He rolled up, had fun with Brandon’s very expensive toys, and then went back to Australia to make a video with millions of views about how if those stupid Americans just banned all the guns like the enlightened Australians.
 
Yeah I did a thing is massive faggot who skipped the trolls remose thing idubbz by being pre faggoted ruined any of his content for me as any cool engineering content he makes is now filled with his gay political takes which makes the rest of the video unwatchable. The Aussie guys who drop shit from a tall hight are the only guys I can tolerate from Aussie land now most of the content creators from Aussie land are massively fagged out.
 
Pretty tragic for IDAT, I did enjoy some of his videos, ghetto blacksmithing and engineering is interesting as a whole but I stopped watching him the more he acted like a conceited asshole and running with these tards who can't smell their own shit from anything else, their other channel is a very good Breadtube template (despite some videos being actually good, mostly, the ones that stay in their own island).
The theme of Australians trying to judge America and falling flat face first happens because Australians cannot fathom the problems with America in their own closed off private boat in the sea, they are barely a populated area and are filled with the worst kind of people. It's kinda like when an American tries to judge a European or Asian country but falls face flat on the ground because they cannot fathom a culture that is alien to their own, but even worse considering that Australia is cargo culting off Silicon Valley types.

Leftists have been claiming that we've been in "Late-Stage Capitalism" far longer than people have been clamoring about "Global-Warming" and 2012 and Y2K combined.

The very term "late-stage capitalism" is extremely played out and is very repetitious to hear used constantly. Why is it late? What's going to replace it? Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism? New Capitalism?

Because we don't live in a capitalistic system we live in an oligarchy with extra steps if we truly lived in a capitalistic system Elon Musk would be at most worth maybe a billion.
We live in a glorified pyramid scheme that we pretend as a real economy

That's what all capitalism devolves into. Oligarchy.

Unlike a leftist public school system where everyone gets a blue ribbon for showing up, capitalism is a game with winners and losers. And the losers have to pack it up and sell off or get absorbed by the winners. Ever heard of Blockbuster? It got closed down after the business model got outdated.

The end result is that an economy that starts with several thousand middle-class businessmen will end up with a few dozen magnates who are millionaires or billionaires, with everyone else serving them for pay.

The "winners" of this game get to sip martinis and buy yachts, and the losers get to work long hours for shit pay. Sometimes you automatically win because you were born to the right family, or you automatically lose because your parents are broke.

A truly capitalist system would glorify people like Elon Musk while letting the plebians die of starvation if they don't kiss their corporate overlords' asses enough. Which is why the era of pure capitalism known as the Gilded Age gave birth to Communism and many anarchist movements, because people were just that fed up with them. One has to notice that the rebel movements of the past were nowhere near as extreme as the rebels of the Gilded Age.

The rebels against kings and churches merely wanted to change a few things. Sometimes they don't even want to overthrow the system completely, they just want to make some changes or replace the guy in charge. Just look at the examples:

-The Christians who rejected pagan Rome's authority over their souls replaced pagan Roman Emperors with Christian Emperors once they took over the Roman Empire.
-Liu Bang replaced the Qin Dynasty as the first Han Emperor.
-William Wallace merely wanted Scottish royals to rule Scotland instead of English royals ruling them.
-The Protestant rebels wanted to replace the Pope of Rome with Martin Luther, John Calvin, or Henry VIII of England.
-The French Revolutionaries traded King Louis XVI for Emperor Napoleon I after a failed experiment with pagan democracy.
-The colonies that would one day become the USA already had local governments before seceding from England; they just wanted to cut themselves off from London completely, since they can worship on their own, which to them, meant they can rule themselves.

The fact is, the capitalists were so dystopian and uncaring, to the point where the people who rebelled against them didn't stop at wanting to change management, they wanted to destroy the system altogether. Hence why the Communists wanted to kill every single "capitalist" they could find, and the anarchists took it a step further and wanted to destroy all governments.

It's basically the main reason you even have Marxists and Breadtube in the first place; "pure" capitalism was that bad that it gave birth to Communism and Socialism, and Breadtube's champions are their modern descendants in the online world.

Lord Imperator is right for the most part is that capitalism will devolve into the oligarch rule and you see what's happening now with Elon's Doge. Ripping apart essential systems of the government, and honestly, this is going to push this country more socialist, and yet breadtubers are not talking about this, they're going on pointless three hour video rants on cartoons, tv shows, and other pointless crap.

The only thing they are touching with some type of relevancy is the whole Neil Gaiman situation.

The more I look into the situation is that these people are just terrified at the fact that they don't get their version of socialism, so they've pretty much given up.

Or I could be wrong, and they just are terrible video makers.

Some leftist Youtubers are talking about it, but Breadtube is mostly a culture war phenomenon, so of course they'll focus on cartoons and TV shows while the nation is literally falling apart at the seams.

Practically. Which is ironic; now's the perfect time to be a Leftist propaganda outlet, since a lot of MAGA-types are having buyers' remorse; their president's early actions hurt them the hardest. If you go to them and make a decent case for leftism, you might be able to convert them. These people were once the kind of people who would take a bullet for Donald Trump, yet now, they're suffering really badly because of his braindead policies. Many of them come from border states that used to do a lot of business with Canada and Mexico.

But outside of purely political leftist YT channels, most of Breadtube barely even cares. And many Breadtubers and leftists who do talk about it are more concerned with mocking former MAGA supporters and making light of their suffering, instead of taking the obvious opportunity dangling in front of them and attempting to convert these MAGAs who lost their jobs and livelihoods thanks to their president's actions.

So, I am posting this response because LORD IMPERATOR's comment could not be replied to.

During the Beginning of the 20th century, the gilded age was a age marked by massive amounts of inequality and corporate-government collusion. It is a fact that the government was ineffectual, however this is only due in part to the deregulation of many parts of industry during the early 1910's. Much of it came due to the influence of corporate-government collusion to prevent competition to enter into the market. A good example is the spoils system implemented by Andrew Jackson.

Much of this was also due to the government purposely would push out small business competition using different types of regulatory practices to favor corporate oligarchy-ism over any type of honest competition or transparent business practices. Along with support of union busting and exploitation of governmental corruption due to the mob profiteering from systemic inequality.

The issue is multifaceted, and we see distinct parallels today as with Musk and DOGE. The distinction I would draw however is that the general public cares less about the social issues due to lack of social responsibility and societal cohesion. Unlike in the past where it was much similar for people to come together as Americans for a common cause, now with the implementation of things like multi-culturalism it has caused a great amount of fragmentation in American society. Along with many people buying the "America was never great." ideology, causing them to not even value traditional Americana in favor for more selfish, hedonistic values.

As for the rise of communism, realize that the only times that communism has ever rose to prominence came from countries that never had capitalist systems implemented in the first place. Russia never had any type of mass industrial movement until AFTER the USSR formed under Lenin. China was shut off from the world for the majority of history until the opiate wars and then WW2, then communism came about due to mass dissatisfaction of the ineffectual ruling class. Laos, Vietnam, and Korea were basically vassal states until the USSR and China turned them into THEIR vassal states.

TL;DR "Pure" Capitalism is not the only factor causing the current dissatisfaction. It is the fact that there is no social regulation system to regulate the current systems and people within that system. Causing a free for all issue and seeing free markets as a one fits all solution. Thus younger people will seek alternatives such a socialism, selling their freedoms for a vague sense of community without a collective system of agreed norms and values that form a sense of community. I unironically heard someone tell me we should all just trust each other without a collective set of values.

A good society has a balance of freedom with a heavy hand of social regulation for cultural cohesion (the church, collectivist thinking in social responsibility, ect.), a stagnating society only has one, without either a society can not be sustainable without the society annihilating itself.

It is notable that communism was not invented in Russia or China; it succeeded there, but only due to the incompetence of the people fighting them. If China didn't suffer the Japanese invasions in WW2, the Chinese Nationalists would've wiped out the Red Chinese, and without WW1, it's highly improbable for the Communists to have taken over Russia. Shit, didn't the Germans ship Lenin to Russia to take them out of WW1?

Communism still had a threatening presence in industrialized capitalist countries, despite them never fully taking over. Plenty of American leftists became Commies during the Cold War. Germany almost fell into Communism following WW1; it took the Freikorps putting bullets in people to stop that. Paris and London both had their share of left-leaning people who take pages from the socialist/communist handbook.

Shit, Breadtube itself is proof of that; people who typically come from middle-class or bourgeoisie families from capitalist countries, unironically voicing support for leftism or sometimes even socialism or communism. They might not have taken over, but they still have a healthy presence in the capitalist west. Most of these Breadtubers come from the middle class of openly capitalist countries.

Agreed, this is most likely due to the fact that these people use leftism as a platform to gain power. I HIGHLY doubt that people like BadEmpanada, Hasan Piker, SecondThought, ect, give two shits about the disadvantaged as a moral principle. It is more about value extraction and leading the flock to them judging from their actions. And the fact that they cannot do it the usual way of actually starting a social movement or doing anything honorable they do the next best thing.

IMO, the reason why communism never took over is due to Liberalisms greatest asset: Its ability to rapidly adapt to organized social pressure. As such, laws can be written to make sure that the extremists never take power by adapting the will of the majority to written law using the representative system.

That, and at the end of the day, western liberals are still capitalists. They are unwilling to part with private property the way Russians and Chinese would; the latter two already have a tradition of all-powerful states, so Communism managed to ease its way in through popular support, whereas in the West, even the liberals have those among them who will defend capitalism (LOL Mike Bloomberg) and keep the liberal politicians from going full-on Commie. It also needs to be said that liberals profited a lot from capitalist engines such as Blackrock and Vanguard, so disassembling or nationalizing them is off the board. Not when at least half the liberal politicians are getting kickbacks from bankers.

Exactly. The Breadtubers use the platforms to sell their brand and grow their fame. It's a grift. Left or Right, you will always have grifters who fan the flames so they can profit from the conflict.

In a nutshell, yes. They thought they probably can go to some big-shot news organization or journalist publication, and they failed, so they're bitching about nerd shit for a living. Some of them are genuine nerds, but most are just grifters.

To be fair, it's easier than going into the private enterprise economy where the boss rides your ass 9 times out of 10 and you're stuck with a dead-end job that pays like shit. Breadtubers are self-employed. They can decide what to make and when. It's their own type of private enterprise that they can mold to their wishes, and the same goes for other content creators on the web.
