    I'm kinda ashamed to admit it, but the description of feeling "normal" made me burst into tears. I work in food service. During the lockdown I was getting the government money and I worked wherever I could. My truck broke down. The thing is, I didn't get scared or start having a panic attack about paying rent. I had a semblance of security because I had that government money (also I'm a mechanic). And the government money I saved up I plan to try to get a teaching certificate from the local CC. A mind blowing concept- People like becoming better people and if provided with the means to do so, they will try their best.

      I more so think that this is a example of bad new in general. The thing about biased reporting is that you could theoretically do it well. I do not think that this is done well whatsoever, it almost feels like he is grasping at straws and has not even read the news's articles he is siting. For example if you really wanted to bash some goblins bashing the company that currently has the lowest price covid vaccine is probably not the way to do it. I think there is a company that is selling it at about 20$ compared to the 5$ that is the maximum price that company that was bashed in this video was selling it for. Thing is, in Europe its 2$ which is why there was the article stating that in Africa the price was hiked by 60% which was grossly misinterpreted in the video.

      Yeah no this isn't objective at all. It comes from cody's personal lens of capitalism bad, socialism good. All while not understanding any of the infrastructure and the system cannot be changed in the middle of a pandemic. What cody wants would take years for a vaccine and cost millions of lives. Also, he is attacking the person that actually has funded 1.6 billion to get vaccine access to poor countries. All Bill Gates is trying to do is solve this problem with the current rules. Someone trying to tackle a problem within the current rules set is not a morally bad person. It's productivity like from people like him that got the vaccines at a record pace in the first place.

My unlimited attention makes me get into pretty much anything as long as i care about it. My ability to hyperfocus makes it easy for me to watch and learn hours of complex things easily like it‘s leasure. And my determination and creativity makes me constantly in need to create and perfect my craft. So really, don‘t underestimate neurodivergent ppl. We‘re just different. And if our biology being different means we are worthless or broken in our society, we aren‘t the problem. Society is for refusing to find effective solutions to include us and to cater to our needs as disabled people. If we were rich we‘d have all the accesability we‘d want. But we don‘t. Cause we‘re not wealthy ebough to be valued and not able bodied and heteronormative enough to be seen as „good enough.“ but it won‘t break us down! Cause we get a great kick out of knowing our sheer existance is a f you to all the capitalists who wanna make all people robotic slaves of their money factory.

      The way I see it, the political spectrum is derived from instinct. Leftist beliefs come from the alturistic instincts you describe, while right-wing beliefs comes from more selfish instincts.

      Absolutely what I was thinking. The beings that rule the world care so little for humanity, they would sacrifice any amount of it to see their wealth and power increase. And they at least half of us normies worshipping at their feet in the hopes of being tossed a few scraps. Every act of supposed generosity or kindness they display has been carefully calculated to produce the maximum about of profit for them, or enable them to control others through threatening to withhold their “generosity”. This is why they’re so against taxes, because philanthropy is a tool of control, while they have no control over their tax money.

It's true that he was super racist in his early twenties, but as he grew older he matured and denounced his earlier bigoted writings. He called hitler a clown and he despised the kkk. He thought gender was a social construct and was a vocal socialist by the time of his early death in 1937. At least know who you're criticizing before you trash the guy.
