So on stream today, Taliesin said Crowder should put a gin in his mouth and shoot it in the same manner DisguisedToast did with using Naga as a placeholder for something much more serious.

My question is, how is this politically an okay thing to do if you are a leftist, and not straight up career suicide for anyone who tells you to commit suicide?

[Captain N]

Ok so a Twitch Streamer said something shitty and you went with the Left is a Hivemind that OKs stuff like this?

Get new material -- this is bait.

[Mayhem]

Probably because crowder is a liar and shouldn't be let near people to spread his lies?

[Theodarzna]

The truly sad thing is someone still earnestly like World of Warcraft, that is the sin of our age.

Its dead, let it stay dead.

[Grimbold21]

I didn't understand what he asked for. A g star n in his mouth? He should put a gin star? What?

[JohnBrown1917]

Its just a joke, so its okay.

Taliesin looks like "evil pewdiepie".

It's rude to tell someone to commit suicide. However, I can see Crowder doing the same.

Joking about suicide is equally horrid.

Gin is quite the fine liquor. Crowder should give it a shot

Eh, I come here just for you. :3

Clap for you though, you had enough courage to actually respond to me in a way I'd see it.

See Mittens, you CAN do better.

People that utilise free speech as a cloak for bigotry and harassment shouldn't complain when people quite rightly tell them to do the rest of us a favour. Change my mind.

For Christ sakes people. It's twitch. Or hell internet famous people in general. It's the equivalent of what was that one kardasian wearing at the last event. This is practically next level first world problems.

I agree; it's a next level problem the likes of which we have not had to face.

MARTINSBURG, W.VA. — Caleb Cain pulled a Glock pistol from his waistband, took out the magazine and casually tossed both onto the kitchen counter.

“I bought it the day after I got death threats,” he said.

The threats, Mr. Cain explained, came from right-wing trolls in response to a video he had posted on YouTube a few days earlier. In the video, he told the story of how, as a liberal college dropout struggling to find his place in the world, he had gotten sucked into a vortex of far-right politics on YouTube.

“I fell down the alt-right rabbit hole,” he said in the video.

Mr. Cain, 26, recently swore off the alt-right nearly five years after discovering it, and has become a vocal critic of the movement. He is scarred by his experience of being radicalized by what he calls a “decentralized cult” of far-right YouTube personalities, who convinced him that Western civilization was under threat from Muslim immigrants and cultural Marxists, that innate I.Q. differences explained racial disparities, and that feminism was a dangerous ideology.

“I just kept falling deeper and deeper into this, and it appealed to me because it made me feel a sense of belonging,” he said. “I was brainwashed.”

Some young men discover far-right videos by accident, while others seek them out. Some travel all the way to neo-Nazism, while others stop at milder forms of bigotry.

The common thread in many of these stories is YouTube and its recommendation algorithm, the software that determines which videos appear on users’ home pages and inside the “Up Next” sidebar next to a video that is playing. The algorithm is responsible for more than 70 percent of all time spent on the site.

The radicalization of young men is driven by a complex stew of emotional, economic and political elements, many having nothing to do with social media. But critics and independent researchers say YouTube has inadvertently created a dangerous on-ramp to extremism by combining two things: a business model that rewards provocative videos with exposure and advertising dollars, and an algorithm that guides users down personalized paths meant to keep them glued to their screens.

“There’s a spectrum on YouTube between the calm section — the Walter Cronkite, Carl Sagan part — and Crazytown, where the extreme stuff is,” said Tristan Harris, a former design ethicist at Google, YouTube’s parent company. “If I’m YouTube and I want you to watch more, I’m always going to steer you toward Crazytown.”

It's easy enough to dismiss the likes of Crowder as stupid internet trolls, but the fact of the matter is that they serve as a pathway to radicalisation. Part of the issue is that thanks to right wing gaslighting, any form of content moderation is now decried as censorship. Their refusal to act against Crowder and people like him is in effect tacit endorsement of them using social media as a platform to spread hate.

So what do you think about right wingers getting banned for joking about holocaust? Or does the right wing free speech argument only protect opinions they like?

Joking about the halocaust is horrid as well.

Hey. I remember the Halocaust. Lots of widows of poor Elites and Grunts. So many died on that ring-world. Master Chief is a monster, and deserves to be tried for warcrimes.

You should report that streamer.

The DEMON is HERE??

[Reaper0329]

I mean it's poor taste, to be sure, but shit gets slung both ways, and Crowder isn't a saint, though I hold no particular ill-will toward him. He's another talking head, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm mostly numb to it, at this point.

[AeneasBK]

Just to clarify the topic, was this someone trying to be "funny" and juxtapose the "socialism is for figs/f*gs" with "put a gin/g*n in your mouth and shoot it" because that's fucking lame if that's the case.
