Tim have a little faith in yourself, you don't need to feign ignorance, just rely on your incredible cache of genuine ignorance.
You should be very careful, because when you give out dangerous and deadly misinfo that only rubes will follow, you'll only be killing off your own audience.
(Well, actually it'll kill plenty of other people in the crossfire too but that didn't fit the format of the joke)
My friend's house caught on fire even though he had a fire extinguisher. What's the point of having one then?!

One of the central contradictions of capitalism is that in order for it to function the people in charge of huge multi-national corporations are expected to act in the corp's best interests, but are incentivized to instead prioritize any short term gains over long term ones.
If you could make the corpo $10,000,000 over ten years, or $1,000,000 in one quarter in an unsustainable way that drains your resources and makes future revenue impossible, the corpo's best interest is for you to do the former but yours is the latter.
If you try to convince someone of the benefits of the long term approach, someone else is gonna eat your lunch and explain to your superiors that they could have fiscal growth RIGHT NOW
Can't work and can't relax just sitting and compulsively doing nothing
Executive dysfunction doesn't just mean you play video games a lot, sometimes you can't even do that
Putting in effort to put in effort, but failing
Once you put a name to the problem, you realize that it isn't just "how you are", but that you've been struggling with a disorder for your entire life and it had taken so much from you.
A lot of people have reached out to ask me why I didn't feature enough (any?) creators of colour in my ADHD video, and I'd put it down to two things:
1. I didn't communicate that that's something I was specifically looking for, therefore perhaps making marginalized people feel as though their submissions would be dismissed.
This is my mistake, and I'll do better in the future.
2. People of colour receive far worse medical care opn average, and thus are less likely to know they have ADHD let alone receive treatment for it.
This is part of why it is crucial to speak openly about ADHD and ADHD struggles.
This numbnuts is now trying to present me as saying I think Lenin or Leninism is antisemetic, not that I think that Caleb is an antisemite.
Completely bad faith, an utter clown.
And all of you dipshits caping for the guy who claims that Israel controls american imperialism guiding it towards a calamitous war, you're either complete dupes or willful antisemites yourselves. likely both.
Feels to me like every system of government (or there lack of) relies on people behaving "correctly", and most charges of utopianism are pure projection.
"you assume people will just behave themselves without consequences, they need leaders to hold them accountable"
Yeah
But
Aren't you assuming the leaders will just behave themselves without consequences?
And if the people can create consequences for their leaders, aren't you assuming they won't use that power to do whatever they wanted to do without the leaders anyway?
I feel I should make something clear. The point of my video today was not to convince people not to buy from Amazon. I think it's good to buy less things in general, but amazon is a symptom of the larger problem.
Yes amazon is an evil exploitative company, but do you think there's a way to buy the things they sell on amazon WITHOUT exploitation? Do you think buying them from Wal-Mart, or Best Buy is any more moral?
You cannot buy or boycott your way out of capitalism. You are forced to participate in this exploitation no matter what you do.
This is not to say that people should not try to be conscious with what they buy. Obviously some things are worse than others.
