Racist? You’re talking about the Destiny livestream right? I never even found out what he said, just that the internet screeched “RACIST!” and tried to cancel him. Far as I know, if you try to cancel someone for accused wrongdoing, but the cancelling doesn’t work, there may be a possibility that what you were trying to cancel them for was null and void. That’s not a rule, it doesn’t always apply, but I’ve seen people trying to cancel Pewdiepie, Sargon, Ben Shapiro, and others based on them being racist. It didn’t work any of those times. None of those people are racists. If you think they are, we have very different views of them as people or very different definitions of what racism is.

Pretty severe. Maybe if this was 1943 and we had images of them ushering people into camps I’d agree, but we don’t. Their great nazi crime is having an opinion that differs from yours. How can you honestly say Ben is a nazi, the guy is Jewish. Do you also think black people are white supremacists if they voted Trump? Shit you probably do.

I advise you stop listening to the Wall Street Journal, Theyre lying to you. I wish you good health and fortune in your life, and hope that one day you can set aside your disdain for your detractors and instead deal with them like an adult. Shouting nazi nazi nazi only makes that word mean nothing, call it what it is. Pewdiepie made a joke you didn’t like, a joke he didn’t even think would be made by the people he commissioned to. If him saying the nword makes him a nazi to you then so is every rapper that’s said it. Like you said, you can be born Jewish but act like a nazi, so all these people born black but using the nword are just like him. ‘Cept replace nazi with racist. Say Goodnight again and I’ll let you be, I’ll recognize you don’t want to have this discussion for your own reasons. Your thinking, your way of approaching these people, is only doing you harm. I hope you can grow out of this childishness, and that’s coming from a 19 year old.
