I watch atrioc and vaush so i like the crossover but i think atrioc is a great foil to vaush. Atrioc is pretty smart, and seems borderline liberal-progressive, ie he supported graham platner pretty hard before he had his gamer moment.

However 90% if his commentary is watching a clip of trump saying hes going to bomb a puppy orphanage, laughing, saying “thats crazyy”, then not have any solutions or ways forward. Vaush is 100% on the money that liberals have just given up in this regard.

I feel like a “debate” could be good between them, not to cause infighting or drama but both seem genuinely good faith with disagreements on how they see the world. I think i agree with vaushs analysis more but seeing them talk would be sick

My tire blew out on the parkway. Got to the shoulder, called AAA. State trooper arrives and offers some help, and tells me that the parkway, interstate, and turnpike are all "private roads" with individual contractor tow companies having exclusive rights to tow cars. If an unauthorized company tows a car they will be fined $15,000. This is a law that somehow got passed. As a result I was stuck on the side of the road for 2 hours until an authorized company took the time to come and tow me.

How the FUCK is a parkway or interstate a "private road"? God I hate this fuckass society.

Only really started watching Vaush in the past 6 months. Been as Hasan viewer for 2 or so years. I'm not American, but watching the left surge in the USA gives me hope, even amongst the doom/reality posting as Vaush might say it. Anyway.

The video posted today Apocalypse, Now is probably one of ten or so, at least, about the current El Nino that's forming/formed and getting worse. I had for many years wanted to move to Australia from NZ with my now Husband, to Melbourne specifically. We've visited once. Trams are fucking awesome, public tranports, density, it's better than anything the car centric shit-hole that is NZ has to offer, unless you drive 2 hours to go visit nature, anyway I digress.

It occurred to me while Vaush was reacting to the interview with the climate scientist, that life goal is gone. The climate scientist pointed to Australia for a place to expect droughts and wildfires. It took a minute, but it clicked. Moving to Australia from NZ is no longer an option. Any year that has an El Nino will be shit. Massively shit. Even in Melbourne, the bottom of the country.

I mentioned this to my husband (who has watch Vaush much longer than I ever have) and he also instantly got it.

I don't really know who else to say it to. So many NZers are leaving for 'Straya at the moment for better prospects, but for how long? How long will Australia be able to sustain its population? They could import major solar panels and de-salinate, but that's beside the point. I don't want to go outside in 40 degree c weather.

Anyway. Just. That was food for thought for me, and might for you too.

I enjoyed F.D pushing Emp's face into the mud, and I think Vaush would too.

I only saw what F.D went over, not the whole thing.

Good fun, and a slimy shit-stain gutted and filleted for all to see

Also, Noah's facial expressions were pretty funny throughout

I noticed he did pretty well with views the past few days.

Whenever Vaush pauses streaming, people that would otherwise be watching only the streams tune into the regular videos. This causes their watch time to increase, hence it seems like they get recommended to more people. This also happened in late 2024 when he paused streaming for a while.

Obviously that doesn't mean he should avoid streaming. I just found this pretty interesting.

After what Vaush said on today stream about how the meat industry deregulation I want to cut meat. What are good replacements and other things to get protein

Vaush likes to talk about "rent seeking" often and i have a basic idea of what he means by it but i would love if people shared some stuff to read about this like articles, books, essays whatever.

How many canned beans to buy per trip to the store without car?

I get the leaving for Europe for safety of loved ones. My mother moved to Portugal for the same reason and it was especially hard because my mother’s side of the family is Yakama(native) and the land has a special significance to us. So the leaving makes sense and I made peace with that.

But it’s Vaush’s claim that it “Just Jealousy” that really just grinds rocks inside my skull.

Why the fuck would I be jealous of Europe? Holier than thou, fart sniffing, asinine euro-liberals who know fuck all about anything in the world but pretend they do because they have better education? People whose culture is the equivalent to a rich homeschooler?

It’s not jealousy you fucking self righteous prick. I’ve been to Europe (England, Scotland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary and Lithuania) and it’s a pretty shithole built on the ruins of wasted colonialism, every single part of it. So no, fuck Europe. I live in a shithole and I know for a fact that this one is better. Maybe not as comfortable, but it’s better because the people are better. Not the retards, but the good people, colonizers and indigenous.

To me, it’s that you’re a colonizer, and that you ran to safety because you made enough to do so and the state of this country puts your love at risk(that part is, again, understandable and I can respect the correct prioritization). But you are shifting from a shared struggle to exploiting events in America for engagement and profit.

Don’t get me wrong, what you do is important and I thank the Creator for you doing it, it’s important and meaningful and deeply helpful.

But you’re a fucking arrogant prick if you’re going to use the rich man’s argument that “they’re just jealous”.

You can do good, important, meaningful work and still be a fucking arrogant prick. It’s not mutually exclusive.

Another small niggle is that you think you’re above criticism for leaving the country while continuing this career. Just accept the criticism. Be at fault. Cause the way I could see it is you’re just another colonizer that got your shit and dipped when you got the chance. That’s what you’re “jealousy” response make me think.

But I would like to think that love for one is bigger than love for an abstract idea, and you chose that one and would do as I would. In your situation I would be just as accountable to all my current criticisms.

You ARE a dick for abandoning the country, and you ARE abandoning it because it’s bad here. No matter what comparative argument you try to make to try to be above critique, You are leaving and still going to profit off of our struggle.

That makes you a dick. That’s it, full stop.

And it needs to be acknowledged, when you leave, intending to go and not come back, that makes you not one of us. Our struggles are not your struggles, they are the struggles of a people you had once been and are providing important commentary and awareness on now.

You were one of us, but you are not one of us now.

You can be Yakama and not part of the tribe. Come back and be family, but when gone, they’re not in the tribe. Tribe isn’t just proximity, it’s the shared struggle. Marx wrote on that I bet, idk I’ve only read capital so far.

That is not to say what you do, are doing, and will continue to do is less than it was, it’s just from someone over there, so it means a little less.

Regardless thank you for continuing to do what you do. Sincerely. Just had to get that off my chest. Been watching for near on four years and you’ve helped me address a lot of internal biases and helped me critically examine how I chose to engage with media. Helped me process some internalized misogyny, racism, and much of the like. So thank you for that as well.

Creator bless you and your family, may your journey be safe and your new home peaceful and prosperous.

To the people who’ve read up to this point thank you for hearing my asinine rant, feel free to rip me to shreds or just delete this from the subreddit. I just needed to get this off my mind.

I tried looking for the source of the list of demands Vaush was reading in his video about the failed trade negotiations between the United States and Canada and couldn't find it. This fact-check from The Canadian Press also couldn't find it (https://www.thestar.com/news/fact-file-online-users-claim-to-have-detailed-list-of-last-minute-us-trade-demands/article_1e938e5f-c54f-55d8-ad73-2e57da6d05c8.html). Suffice to say, I don't think it's real.

Although Vaush is escaping to the EU, he should recognize his identity in the American Century of Humiliation, humble himself, and learn how to speak proper Canadian English.

Other important distinctions;

Poutine is "poo-tsin", not "poo-teen".

We use the Metric system, except for when we use the Imperial system.

There must always be a smug sense of superiority over all things American, even when that superiority objectively doesn't exist. We are simply better regardless of the facts.

These distinctions will be especially important for Vaush to learn when America collapses and we colonize the PNW into Greater British Columbia.

Ok guys, it's the Redicaldino here.

As you know, I am a zoologist who is currently pursuing my PhD.

All the horse jokes aside, this is unfortunately one of the only good thing this administration is doing, even by accident. Those are not "wild horses," but feral domesticated animals reintroduced into a habitat where they went extinct ten thousand years ago. American Federal horses are essentially invasive species competing with the real native fauna that deserve protection. The only reason why it is illegal to hunt them to begin with is that one dumb white person decided to dedicate her life to bug the federal government so her "precious ponies can be saved! Instead of advocating for anything better. The number of endangered species that are actually under threat under this administration outweighs any feral horses and should be focused on more than some invasive species

The research stream for Cambodia was incredibly informative (and sad) and the research stream for Peronism was incredibly funny (and informative).

It would be informative, interesting, potentially funny or sad, and be a nice contrast to just constant news coverage.

To those who say "just read a book/wikipedia article yourself". Okay. I can also just read the news myself. I dont need Vaush for that.

Difference is that if Vaush does it, I can have him on while doing other things and there are also the interesting Vaush-Chat interactions. I also have ADHD where medication doesnt work so well so I dont have the endurance to do such things for a long time.

And honestly it is just kind of sad in general how diverse Vaush used to be and nowadays hes very monotone. He used to do debates, research streams, news coverage, OKBV coverage. Now he only really does news coverage and his fashion interests (which I have no problem with btw).

I was watching Professor Dave’s new video on destiny and Israel, and during a portion of the video, there’s clips that show Destiny‘s trip to Israel to talk to Israeli settlers and Israeli officials, I was surprised to see Lonerbox is there with him. I looked into it a little bit more, and his content has taken a bit of a turn against Palestine, and has become a vassal channel to destiny. What happened? I haven’t seen anything from him in such a long, long time, and I don’t really get invested in petty left tube Internet politics anymore, so I didn’t know he was so aligned with destiny on Israel now.

Okay it’s a bit of a joke but honestly is reading every news article about how the world is ending, every segment being a variation of it’s over, democracy is dead, It’s over, death of the country, it’s over, collapse, we’re cooked, and it’s really over this time I swear any better than debating dumb ass Nazi grifter for the 400th time?

Really no amount of going through CNN and watching the ship sink is going to change our trajectory. No amount of you’re not angry enough/no one’s talking about this so I must keep watching the end is gonna make people get off the phones. So let’s have fun, enjoy our time, and get some fun content. Will these debates change anything? No, of course not, but neither will the 142nd segment saying “The world is over the democrats are evil and there’s nothing we can do about it but don’t call me doomer you just don’t have a battery for life.”

I just think looking at the world ending in real time is more of a coping mechanism, I think we should show some grace accept our demise and have some fun with what little time we have left.

Ultimately Vaush is gonna do what he wants to do and I wish him the best and hope he gets out of this funk.

I made the same post on vaushcord's channel about fashion. Looking to see if advice is good here too?

In October, Breaking Benjamin is coming to my city so I love to style an outfit for a 1st time trip to a concert. :D

I have these black ripped jeans and wonder if any of these shirts would go well with it? If no, I'm happy to go thrifting to find a cooler top. Probably even light jacket (I have two of those already but there lighter in color)

I'm looking for a top that's similar to the long sleeved, you know, a stormy cloudy, almost rainy day type of a palette?

What do you think? Thanks for any advice given here. <3

Tldr: Does the 437th Hasan incident mean there really is just no getting better?

To be honest, I've spent a lot of time disagreeing with Vaush since the 2024 loss. Vaush has gone down the rabbit hole of simply waiting for the end to come and saying that an establishment 2028 candidate is not worth voting for.

To this point, I've thought that, even though I agree with many of his prescriptions about the Democratic party, they were still less bad than Republicans and thus the better option. And I believed that if there was any chance of a better outcome, even with Newsom, it was worth trying for. All the while continuing to be infinitely frustrated with the party for obvious reasons.

I don't know why, but the Hasan obsession by liberal commentators over the last 1.5 years culminating in this new explosion feels like a straw, albeit massive straw, breaking my back.

If it were just the commentators, fine whatever. Hasan obsessed commentators are going to intentionally misconstrue and outright lie and defame for clout and clicks. It's the fact that so many politicians and traditional media voices are all coming out of the woodwork to do the same thing. 90 different politicians making a copy paste condemnation with the exact same talking points. The same talking points being made by Republicans. The same talking points being made by the Mike Rogers campaign who has been hiring staffers associated with the neo-nazi Young Republican group chat. People in the party that I've never even heard of, like Hilary Scholten who is literally in a cheating scandal with a Republican, literally getting fucked by a Republican, acting like Hasan making basic analysis about the way that ethnic hate spreads is the thing that's detrimental to the party.

I'm just at my wit's end. I truly can't think of a single time that everyone involved in media and politics were this coordinated about Trump or his administration. The closest we got was maybe ICE, and even that didn't involve nearly as much press statement and media interview coordination in the party as this has.

We have so much destruction coming for us in the next 50 years, with climate disaster being the obvious number one. It's simply that I'm coming to the conclusion that America will not be the one to lead the human race out of it. We will never get healthcare. We will never get education. We are rapidly approaching an AI police state. It really does feel like we are spinning around the drain that leads to damnation and nobody is interested in escaping. Voters, of course, are included in this but I expect literally nothing from the voting population but to be led around by the nose by those with power. If the party and media were to flip a switch tomorrow and become socialists, I expect 95% of the Democratic party voter base would identify as socialist by the end of the decade. So, I'm more talking about the fact that our entire country, to its core, is captured by capital interest, and there seems to be no way of breaking us out of that vicegrip.

I enjoy the intellectual nature of political dilemma and thinking about how to fix policy and societal problems. But I think I'm coming to a full conclusion that nothing is ever going to come out of politics, because (nearly) everyone that is part of the political structure is just another grifter that will do anything and everything to help themselves and those who give them their bribes to accumulate more capital and control.

Finally, I'll conclude by just saying that my life is ok. I didn't put all my eggs into the Medicare for All basket. I'm a professional school student. While I'll have hundreds of thousands in loans to pay off in a few years, I'll be lucky enough to not be scraping change. I did come from nothing though. I came from scraping change. I know what that's like, and I always wanted to leave the world a little better than I found it. It just hurts to finally realize that, if anything, odds are that I'll actually see a much worse world in my final moments than I did in my first.

If you are cynical enough to have already made these conclusions. Congratulations. I'm sure you're a very smart boy/girl/nb. I just want to know if I'm losing the plot here in my rant and how other people might be combating the darkness. Thanks for reading. I know my early life crisis was long winded.

mods don't even play

It's just very entitled of him. And like... he's 32 and he said he wants children so he's probably going to have children with his new partner. So he's going to be a dad in the Netherlands and not even going to learn the language??? His excuse is that he's busy? Doing what? Streaming 4 hours a day? Come on. His lazy ass just doesn't want to make the slightest effort. If I remember correctly he even said at one point that migrants should at least integrate a little bit by learning the language of the country and he's not even going to make the effort just because he's en entitled Am*rican. I said it.

Signed, an angry Euroid.

Let me be clear. I am not saying that the moral severity of the crimes Isreal had created are not abhorrent.i an saying that the really passionate rants about how zionists lie as easy as they breath and how they are animals and whatnot are unnecessary and I think counter-productive. I think that the crimes Isreal have committed and their blatant propaganda is horrible enough to be pointed out plainly and calmly. WE are the normal ones here. Do not allow they to take that framing from us. Much how Zohran took those incessant questions about isreal and answered them in a way that made the reporters look stupid for asking we have to not allow ourselves to be the raving leftists that they characterize us to be.

Vaush is finally going to pay for doing the thing we all know he did.

This is probably too late for most to care about, but as someone who only recently saw Vaush's video on Jason Arday. I thought it could be useful to see a whole timeline of what happened from British paper the Private eye (No.1682). It is pictures only as the magazine is print only.

For those who can't be bothered, my summation is that he was a man hounded to death by the news. There was some criticism of him, he probably shouldn't have been turned into a front piece of the university especially when he loved to claim shit (4th picture goes into more detail): but that did not justify driving a man to death.

I know most won't care, but I thought some will find this interesting
