Before I respond, I want to be absolutely certain I know who "he" is in that statement. Jimmy Dore or Kyle Kulinski?BryanM wrote:Just because you hate the guy, it doesn't mean he's not right or that Ana and TYT isn't garbage.Mischief Maker wrote:On a reverse cancel culture story, I can't believe Kyle Kulinski sided with Jimmy Dore against Ana Kasparian.
No no no, you don't get to throw shade on your side of this internet drama and say Ana is garbage, then immediately follow with, "but it's the apocalypse so we can't talk about this subject anymore!" before I have the chance to show the other side's receipts. This is a forum devoted to a dead genre of videogames as well as anime fandom, I am perfectly within my rights to be frivolous here.BryanM wrote:It's the apocalypse, and you're worried about internet drama.
First of all, Syria is a completely separate topic from the sexual harassment. And even if I thought Ana was dead wrong on the subject, I wouldn't turn around and say, "and that's why Jimmy Dore was fully justified in publicly humiliating her in front of her students in the workplace!"BryanM wrote:I'm sure you think Aaron's a rapist and a Russian asset too, I guess...
Second, for those who don't know, I used to be a Jimmy Dore fan before I realized he was not only full of shit but actively harmful to the left. And Syria was the first thing that shook my faith in the guy. I was in a heated argument with someone in early 2017 over Syria, and I remembered a video where Dore cited a document as solid proof positive that Assad didn't gas his own people, so I wanted to cite it. Strangely Jimmy didn't link to the document in his video description, but I was able to glean enough info from the screenshots to find it myself. But when I read the document, I realized it did not say what Jimmy claimed it said. So I had to slink my way out of that argument, deeply embarassed because I put my trust in Jimmy Dore.
As for Aaron Mate, this gave me deja vu.
Ironically, I rediscovered Sam Seder and the Majority Report through Jimmy Dore. Specifically the 2016 debate between Seder and Dore over #bernieorbust. As a former Dore fan, I highly recommend anyone who listens to the guy to watch the debate, especially the ending, and how hilariously horribly wrong all of Dore's predictions were. Things like electing Trump being a shot in the arm for the left that would lead to President Elizabeth Warren. Or the idea that Trump would be able to seat one Supreme Court justice, much less two, much less three, was as likely as the moon falling into Lake Michigan.BryanM wrote:Can't believe you're still watching political opinion pieces on youtube, especially Seder.
Watch that then ask yourself if this man is truly worthy of being your thought leader.
