Damn, are you a boomer bro? haha

You mean closer to 2100? Because we have more than 900 years to go for 3000 haha

This didn’t work

Might have to do that

I tried, but it doesn’t work for age restricted videos. I tend to use Freetube whenever possible, and only swap to other options when I am forced for age restriction.

I don’t want to give any of my info to Google though

And it feels very naive to believe that people change just because they are called out on it and they have to say so to save whatever is left of their reputation. It is even more naive to believe so when the guy hasn’t improve a tiny bit.

Saying that he improved and we should just shut up about it just because he said so, it is literal gaslighting dressed in “just put the other cheek” masochism and giving green light to abuser just because they lie about their supposed improvement

Admitting something because you are called out on it is the same as apologizing for saying racist shit on tv. It is all performative and wouldnt happen if people wouldnt have made it public

He didn’t admit his fault. He just validated his ideology and told other people that they don’t have to work with him.

He is pretty much normalizing abusive behavior and rationalizing it by saying that he is not politically correct and that respect is earned.

Believing that basic human decency must be earned on the basis on intellectual achievements is “good principle”?

Saying “respect must be earned” but giving disrespect freely and abundantly is good principle?

This argument is just a cult of intellect even to the detriment of society, low-key eugenics.

What are your thoughts on that?

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking?

Why do you think so?

It is not about wether someone is young or old, but that the system is rotten and needs to go. Also, we are not getting anything better in this system.

I don’t think that makes a difference. Ben Shapiro is young and is alt-right

This sounds like a very gatekeeper and elitist mentality. Also, Lemmy is FLOSS, they can’t buy it up or destroy it.
