more seriously, what’s the explanation for this? Taking this argument seriously has its own problems sure, but like…what biological factor would be at play here?
lead poisoning most likely. despite it being a global issue I've seen this take before, ie. the yanks are still working through the generations that had their brains stunted by lead. I don't claim this take but I've seen it a lot in anti-US spaces, though I kind of thought it was a meme tbh.
blood pressure is rising whenever I see the libs post the tank man image. Even if you took the liberal narrative to heart there's basically no comparative worth between these two moments in history
you get fully automated gay space communism when you reach 110% favorable opinion
Jfc how bleak. I just found this guy and thought it was great how frequently he started to upload recently. He had only just started getting the ball rolling again and he's deleted for the crime of having a Hamas video, I guess.

Are they not specifically communists? Aleksa at least self-identifies as such.
They finally got true political freedom, good for them.
I’m a bit confused why they invited him on to be honest.
Australia doesn't really have any serious organizational ML representation, like, at all. It could be that they wanted to feature someone from the Aussie sphere and Jordan/Purplepingers is all-but the face of Australian socialism, for better or for worse.
I was pretty chuffed to see him make an appearance on the podcast, would not have guessed it in a hundred years. I could also see ideological differences a mile away. I'm happy he was on for a slightly stilted episode as both sides are mutually platformed this way. I know Purplepingers fans in real life who I can now show an episode of the Deprogram to.
wanky pontification incoming but while I definitely agree with the spirit of this statement whenever I see it I think that we don't really 'deserve' to be alive by the letter of the word. I think more spiritually minded people than me can easily make an argument that we do fit the strict definition of 'deserving' to live but from a material perspective I don't see how humans inherently deserve to spawn into this random chaos world. It's just a random chance thing that happened and continues to happen.
but my brain has wrinkles so my take doesn't just end there. My material stand-in for the more spiritual idea that human beings deserve life is that any human born is owed humane treatment and actualization by the humans that came before, because the human born never asked to live but the actions of the humans before them brought them into existence. therefore, every parent owes their child a dignified, healthy and happy life. stepping back further, every generation owes the next a dignified, healthy and happy life. every society owes the next blah blah you get it.
basically I've always seen the right to life as something owed to you by others, a mounting debt humanity must continue to repay, not necessarily something that is based within our character or inherent essence. you don't deserve to be alive but you don't earn that right yourself, either. it's collectively owed to you and in stable societies you get your pay out.
Honestly I thought the suffering in the world radicalized me, or the sheer inefficiency of the distribution of resources, or the enforcement of in-groups inherent to capitalist imperialism. But nah, brother, it's just the landlords. Just thinking about them too hard pissed me off one day.
I'm currently playing Fallout 4 on my Steam Deck. The impressive caveat here is that I'm also running 800+ mods on it. I also used my Steam Deck to play Grounded 2's early access when it came out. I'm not here to boast about the performance or anything, neither broke 40 FPS, but both maintained a stable framerate. I feel like you're underestimating the use cases for the Deck.
Maybe he's casting an incredibly wide net over yanks and including most of them as chuds? It wouldn't be incorrect to describe demographics in general as far more rightward in the states. I'm just trying to make sense of the statement and just seeing what sticks. Yugopnik says some pretty unhinged things and this might just be an utterly underdeveloped, spiteful thought.
