Title: YouTube stuff
Post by: Dia on October 12, 2020, 10:57:15 am
We've got discussions on Netflix and TV, why not YouTube?

A channel I like is LegalEagle, run by a civil litigation trial lawyer named Devin Stone.  He's got a number of videos talking about the legalities of the actions taken by the current US administration.  Pretty interesting, and he's funny. 

Also, Chubbyemu if you like weird medical stories.  "A boy ate 150 vitamin gummies for breakfast.  Here's what happened to his bones", things like that. 

Anyone else have interesting YouTube videos or channels?

Van Ballion.

I watch the QAnon types defend themselves with outlandish conspiracy arguments, like 'the court is an admiralty court'... defining themselves as sovereign and not citizens, and yet protected as citizens etc.

This reminds me, for no apparent reason, of Beau of the Fifth Column, a recently discovered (by me) YouTuber.  His "studio" appears to be a trailer or garage, he looks like the quintessential Trump supporter but he's not.

He's also Justin King, an anarchist and self-described adversarial journalist.  He has a few websites  including this one:  https://thefifthcolumnnews.com/ and this one:  https://justinking.org/

According to some other sources I've read, his goal is to gently draw people toward anarchy through his relatable "Beau" character and build a movement, though it may take decades to achieve his end goal of dismantling government.  Biden will make that goal easier than Trump  according to his 1000th video, posted today.

I do agree with a lot of what he supports (at least what I've seen so far), but I don't think anarchy, as I understand it, is a viable way to structure a society.  Still find him interesting character.

That's very well done, and presumably you subscribe to it.

But can you take that as far as necessary to include what the US and UK are doing in H.K., for what must be assumed to be stopping communism?

Or is your purpose served and you just need to walk away from all of it?

You’re even too stupid to understand satire....

You've burnt your bridges squid and there's no way back for you, so you'll have to deal with your hurt feelings in the best way you can. Just don't do it on my threads or you could end up being deleted for your behaviour. Here is fine with me!

Camping with Steve Wallis.  This is reality tv from an Albertan - he's demonstrating various ways to camp - but not like you'd expect.  It's more like .. I have an idea, lets see if it'll work while I'm on camera!  It's a step-by-step process: Step 1: set up.  Step 2: crack a beer.

The first video we watched was him setting up a small, two-man tent inside of an insulated ice lodge and seeing if lighting a bunch of candles would add any significant warmth.  You'll have to watch it to find out. 

He's remarkably popular, with upwards of 3 million views on some of his videos.   He'll check out different kinds of equipment, using the 'beer-donations' of the viewers.  Anyway, if you'd like to watch something a bit different, check it out.  Even if you aren't a camper.
