Ugh, I’ve already been feeling frustrated in general, why did I have to look at this.
The interview is admittedly terrible, but holy shit the comments are so rage inducing.
Like I said in the megathread, when the host tried to bait them into a gotcha over them being a dog walker I would have said, “so what? what’s wrong with that? why do you hate working class people? I thought this channel was a break from liberal elitism but I guess I was wrong”.
Yeah, they didn’t do amazing. Particularly the point where the Fox news guy said “but You CHosE TO worK aNd CaN qUiT at ANY TIME”. That’s the perfect time to respond with “if I do I go starving and homeless, that’s the fucking point”, but they just… didn’t.
“Sure I’m able to quit anytime I like, but let’s consider then what my options would be: 1.) starvation 2.) homelessness 3.) prison, because we criminalize number 2. Get what I’m saying?”
Unsurprisingly the thread on /c/the_dunk_tank is being ableist too.
Love it when “leftists” are ableist then double down when being called out on it.
I didn’t think they did the absolute worst but it could have been much better. A lot of people are talking about how this person was cringe or did bad or whatever. I mean they didn’t do great, I think the pressure got to them a bit.
But holy shit the news presenter is even more cringe. The bad talking points. The smugness from a guy who gets paid millions to shit on poor people. It’s just so bad.

It’s moot because boomers would never see it but I’d attack them on this. Call them a smug elitist liberal who gets off on pretending to be working class, much like the channel at large. Being called a liberal is one of the few things that destroys shameless chuds.
I thought the first bit they were talking about was pretty good, but they let themselves get dragged into talking about irrelevant shit by the Fox host, and avoiding those pitfalls is a media skill not everyone has. Ideally instead of talking about themselves they should have focused on being forced to work by the wage system and the massive inequality that’s created by it.
Correct. This is because the mod is not familiar with debating people. It’s a skill, controlling the conversation. The presenter has a lot of experience with it and the mod does not. They got steamrolled and didn’t realize that this was adversarial. You can see it as they go on. They take the questions as authentic and allow the host to completely create the narrative he wants.
Love when I get told “don’t stereotype autistic people” as an autistic person speaking from experience.
Much love to comrade mod
Well, in this debacle specifically. But overall the mods are also on some “anti-tankie” bs.
I love how r/4chan and r/greentext are on r/all and their posts are how I found out about this
I dont even think you can filter r/all lmao
The comments on YouTube are equally awful
