No, you don't understand: only philosophy majors who were handed interpretations by their professors could possibly understand the correct interpretation of various famous authors.
Philosophy isn't about discussing interpretations or seeking truth: it's about telling people what they actually meant because otherwise people might "misinterpret" something to support some other worldview than your own, and that's unacceptable.
Ethan is just the Jewish equivalent of an Uncle Tom.
The best example is when he promoted neo-nazi propaganda on his twitch regarding the bombing of Dresden.
Now it's kinda obvious he did that because he's an impressionable moron who's friends with people like JonTron, who believes in a white ethnostate. That and the fact that Ethan is super critical of Israel (fair enough) which has a long and decorated history of calling any criticism of it's policies 'antisemitism'.
Sidenote: this is the Crux of the problem with Israel labelling all criticism as antisemitic - the uneducated and disengaged masses can't tell the difference between their political point scoring and actual lies which are genuinely antisemitic, but many of them are inclined to assume it's all bullshit instead of assuming it's all antisemitic.
Despite being responsible for the literal worst podcast in existence (really an incredible feat), I think he deserves some credit for how his mere existence riles up people who think Nazi's lurk in every shadow.
Well, in addition to "jokingly" paying Sri Lankan kids to hold up a sign that said "Death to all jews", using the hard-R N-word on his stream, following and engaging with Notch, Ben Shapiro, Ethan Klein, Logan Paul, Boogie1488, Ian Miles Cheong, Count Dankula, Jordan Peterson, Steven Crowder, Laci Green, Palmer Luckey, Lauren Southern, Bunty King, Stefan Molyneux, Paul Joseph Watson, Butch Hartman, Dave Rubin, KEEMSTAR, Christina Hoff Sommers, and Jontron on Twitter, including having at least Ben Shapiro and Stefan Molyneux on his stream, constantly fash dogwhistling, GamerGate rethorics and probably a lot more I could have mentioned had I given enough of a fuck about him to really dig into his story, the crucial part is his total unwillingness to act apologetic or reflective on all this.
What a sad state of affairs when the Face of Fascism in 2018 is made up of manlet jews, more random jews, a morbidly Obese gaymer, edgy right wing faggots, retarded YouTubers, LobsterDaddy and a few feminists.
Typically the people outraged over, say, Jontron or Pewdiepie--like truly outraged--are former fans of theirs whose ideologies conflicted with YouTubers'. And typically if you have a YouTube account and subscribe and pay attention to these people's lives and shit--if my assumptions based on 95% of comments on that website--you're a fucking emotional tidal wave of id and rage and rape- and murder-impulses, and the only people less qualified to have their opinions valued are the lurkers too cowed by the intelligence of these comments to leave one themselves.
What I'm trying to say is:
vidya>>>anime>>>YouTube.
As an addendum:
Gaymers get the chair, weebs get tortured, and people who use YouTube for anything other than noose tutorials oughtta be locked in another, deathless dimension in which all tactility is replaced by searing flames and sharpness.
Man was put on this planet to punish the pathetic and different--just read Samuel and Judges and Kings, and you'll understand that God really wanted some people absolutely fucking annihilated. Follow the example of our Israelite forebears, and breathe deep the Words of Nasim, the Last Great Prophet: YouTube and its followers deserve God's Wrath. Smite what ought be smote; eradicate the men who follow not your God and Lord.
Thanks for pointing this out. I read that shit, then saw that comment at the end and thought this guy had to be fucking kidding. I actually enjoy some of the shit pewdiepie puts out, and I didn't even know he has had contact with half those people, and don't even know who some of them are. If this doesn't count as "not giving enough of a fuck" then what fucking does?
it actually does surprise me that he follows PJW and Stefan Molyneux, but the really weaselly thing about this comment is that they just list them along with H3H3 and Logan Paul like its all just the same Nazi stew
Doesn't suprise me in the slightest. PewDiePie, along with Colossal is Crazy, are like the penultimate examples of the "Middle Britain" closeted Tory type. If he came out and called himself "socially liberal, economically conservative" he would be a living stereotype.
PewDiePie, along with Colossal is Crazy, are like the penultimate examples of the "Middle Britain" closeted Tory type.
Horseshit. He's just anti-SJW, that's the single common factor in all of this. And of course being against the concept of making up your own gender means he's outright fascist.
The creator of evil alt-right cartoons designed to brainwash children and turning them into literal nazis such as The Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom
Best part is that Laci Green and Ian Miles Chong were both prolific SJWs right up until they switched teams. They're both just attention whores who like to say edgy stuff. Doesn't matter what extreme they're pitching for, as long as they have a team to play for.
calling Stefan Molyneux a fascist instead of explaining why he's wrong
not an argument!
For a quick rundown on the more obscure people:
Ian Miles Cheong is a right-wing journalist/blogger type
Steven Crowder is a conservative guy who makes little jokey political videos and "gotcha!" segments where he makes fun of dumb liberal arts majors who don't know what they're talking about but try to sound smart anyway. Similar to Laura Southern, I guess.
Palmer Lucky is the founder of the Oculus VR... thing. Not sure what they do exactly besides make overpriced gimmicky meme tech, but yeah, that's what he was known for. He got kicked out after people found out he's actually a conservative living in Silicon Valley, which is normally punishable by death but in this case he was given the mercy of exile.
Bunty King is a YouTuber. Not even sure why he's on that list tbh, he's not even all that conservative, more centrist anti-SJW than anything.
Stefan Molyneux is a living meme and political commentator in the vein of Jordan B. Memerson.
Butch Hartman makes cartoon shows for kids. He's not even really conservative so much as he is a devout Christian. But I guess being Christian = being fascist now. I think I read a thinkpiece of Slate about that while sipping my soy chai latte at Starbucks.
Dave Rubin is a lolbertarian. He deserves derision and dismissal. Though I don't know of any connection between him and PewDiePie, so... idk why he's there.
Christina Hoff Sommers is an OG feminist who never really got on board with 3rd wave feminism's brand of intersectionality and privilege and shit, so she's now seen as the black sheep of the feminist scholars, because she finds PC culture to be mostly bullshit and while doing normal feminist stuff also campaigns for men's (mostly boys, I think, technically) rights, too. She has a pretty good book about discrimination and emotional abuse against young boys and how it shapes society, I'd recommend it.
Also lolbertarianism, autismal as it may be, is basically the polar opposite of fascism. Fascism is right-wing collectivism while libertarians are hyper-individualistic to a fault.
Hell, in theory fascism is a revolutionary ideology so technically it doesn't even count as conservative.
I have no idea why fart-huffing retards feel the need to put everyone that makes them butthurt into the same all-encompassing boogieman. Laziness? Extremely low intelligence? Both?
If you want to be a fascist, you're free to do so, as long as every time you command your dictatorship, everyone consents to your commands. And that you can only imprison/kill people who consent to you doing so. And you can only invade other countries for lebensraum if they consent. And only if you're below 6'.
I have no idea why fart-huffing retards feel the need to put everyone that makes them butthurt into the same all-encompassing boogieman. Laziness? Extremely low intelligence? Both?
It's simple, really: you don't get the outraged reactions you want if you just say "PewDiePie made some jokes I consider crass and I think he should consider his influence more when speaking". You have to call him Hitler, that's how you get people to pay attention. Nuance has no place in an ecosystem where eyeballs are currency.
I think this is part of why people fucking lose their shit the the fat hairy guy (aka Boogie) says something stupid.
You know alt righters would love to paint him as "SJW" and leftists and liberals and an alt righter but he doesn't quite fit into any group. I think this is part of why people hate him so much, when he says something idiotic they can't put him in a box and be done with it, rather they need to shit on every single dumb opinion he has.
A right wing political comedian. The "Male Privilege is a Myth, Change My View" guy. His shtick is filming ultra-left college kids then taking highlights of the times they are retarded.
If you dont throw your 12 year old's computer in a bonfire when they start watching satanicfascist youtubers like Ethan Klein you are literally acting like neville chamberlain
Laci "I think radfems and libfems both have a valid worldview and I don't necessarily agree with either" Green is a literal Fascist, just like the fascist sub r/GenderCritical.
You just have to love the false narrative building these dummies are doing.
Pews had released more content in the past 12 hours than he has that would be considered "fascist" but they've built him up so much that they think he's just on YouTube doing nothing but complaining about the Jews and the blacks.
So they are mad that Pewdiepie might misinterpret a book that he hasn't even read yet or commented on, and of course talking to people on twitter. That's an impressive level of outrage.
They really aren't. I looked up holodomor and the first two posts each reached the front page and were deconstructing claims made by tankies that the holodomor was natural/caused by the west
/r/badhistory is perfectly willing to discount perfectly good books by perfectly good authors because something stated in it doesn't support their narrative. They'll just gang-up on anyone who disagrees and states that there is any ambiguity, or cites any author they don't like.
Sometimes they're right about stuff but you basically have to back them into a corner where the statement is so absurd that politics doesn't matter, like the "Medieval PoC" blog, and even then they'll try to look for ways to justify some parts of it or to virtue signal.
Huh. The guy is literally outraged at Pewdiepie for asking for feedback on what classical literature he should read next, because it's possible that he might in the future misinterpret the thing that he hasn't read or commented on yet. That's amazing.
I see his outrage tbh I mean everybody who's ever read that book is now an actual fascist simply because PDP read the same book. PDP really is turning people into fascists smh.
Youre not joking BTW. Last year i had a bunch of classical literature on my wish list and sent it to family members for christmas. My ultra-progressive aunt actually asked me "why i would want those books?" Implying i was researching nazism. The list had Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Orwell, etc. When did reading existentialism become pro nazism?
You didn't ask for books written by latinx womyn of color that challenge dominant paradigms of social performativity and toxic heteropatriarchal masculinity, so clearly you are bazi aligned. The fuck did Dostoyevsky understand about the human condition anyway?
I'll second that; they're far less retarded than the others.
Go tell /r/badhistory that Islam was spread by the sword and watch them bend-over-backwards to redefine was "holy war" means to explicitly exclude inconvenient conflicts for their narrative. "No, these authors are discredited charlatans; the authors we agree with are the authority on the subject!"
I started my account just to post on /r/badhistory, it used to be my favourite sub and I'd always throw a few posts together whenever I had a college assignment.
Now reading it makes me nauseous. I think I realised it just wasn't for me anymore when I got massively downvoted and accused of being a racist when I said there were no black Celts.
Because he is a witless fascist sympathizer that is now doing intellectual posturing that will only end up completely mangling and distorting whatever he ends up reading.
To be fair, the philosophy departments haven't been exactly held to high regard for decades now. They get kept around because it's ridiculously cheap to run a philosophy course... both in running costs (all it takes is the cost to keep the lights and heat on in a classroom) and personnel (philosophy students literally have no other work prospects, so they'll teach for helluva cheap.)
That's actually not "cheap". Paying a person to show up is actually fairly expensive, and that's a room that could probably be spend opening up another course that has more value to students. At this stage, some departments are there because of internal politics and tradition.
Modern Philosophy is a joke because:
All the good "philosophers" split-off to become "the sciences". All the guys who didn't want to just discuss objective facts refused to join them. Most of the big names in philosophy were mathematicians, physicists, etc, but existed at a time when there was only really the one subject to study and it encompassed everything; they're better-described today as "scientists".
Existentialism more-or-less was the final word in non-objective philosophy and discussion of worldviews. "People can self-actualize", "People's self-perception can affect their abilities", "People's interpretation of objective facts affects their behavior", etc. All the post-structural bullshit that came after by people like Foucault basically just try to twist it. They make strange interpretations and those are generally what are taught in philosophy classrooms today.
In short, philosophy is basically just another propaganda center that's mad because the rigorous arm of their subject redefined itself and the best aspects of its arm were written nearly two centuries ago and everything since then has been utter rubbish.
Paying a person to show up is actually fairly expensive
If you said this to someone who didn't actually know some adjuncts, you might have been able to get away with it. :D Nice try tho.
that's a room that could probably be spend opening up another course that has more value to students
C'mon man. Lecture halls aren't task specific unless they're surgical theatres or such. One class spends an hour or so in a room, they pack up and move on and the next class comes in. I mean yeah, maybe if you're talking some tiny campus with seriously limited space, but I've yet to walk on a campus where all rooms are in 100% utility.
... plus, value to the students is kind of irrelevant. The student, for whatever reason, has decided that pursuing a BA (in this case, one with a philosophy component) is valuable. The college/uni in question is filling that demand, and it's a helluva lot cheaper for a school to seat a phil major than, say, a premed or any sort of engineer.
If you said this to someone who didn't actually know some adjuncts, you might have been able to get away with it. :D Nice try tho.
That's true, but the whole department isn't adjuncts.
I mean yeah, maybe if you're talking some tiny campus with seriously limited space, but I've yet to walk on a campus where all rooms are in 100% utility.
If you look at a schedule, there are certainly gaps. But if you actually talk to any department heads or deans about scheduling then usually their idea of a room being "booked solid" has a much lower bar. There's intentionally gaps left in the schedule that, for whatever reason aren't booked. At some schools, especially those with longer lectures, it's common to see quite a few gaps too short to actually place any classes. Why this happens, I don't know, but economically 100% room utilization is optimal for profits and after that less valuable courses with lower enrollment are still effectively underutilization.
A bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off. xD
Philosophy isn't the worst major but some of the professors are really screwy. Choice of materials provides ample opportunity for professors to teach their own personal beliefs on subjects, which is frankly just poor form.
Because he is a witless fascist sympathizer that is now doing intellectual posturing that will only end up completely mangling and distorting whatever he ends up reading.
That sub is full of retards. They draw the entirely wrong conclusion from Starship troopers. It makes compelling arguments in favor of itself while depicting a very dystopian universe where life is one ruled entirely by violence. They just hate it because they didnt it.
The subreddit is interesting in the sense that it was created to mock "bad philosophy" but on further investigation... the sub is literally bad philosophy.
It's like they distilled every philosophy major's ability to insist "no the interpretation I like that my teacher taught me is correct and if you disagree you're reading it wrong" into a single subreddit.
Because what is 'bad' philosophy is a rather contentious thing. Calling out bad reasoning and shitty logic is one thing, as is just making blatantly false claims ("Heidegger called himself an existentialist"). But things like moral non-realism aren't bad philosophy, they're just unpopular. Doesn't matter that you've got a shitload of commies there who will see anyone who disagrees with them as the spawn of Satan.
lol, their names all show up as drunkentune in solidarity with some sperg who got in a slap fight with a 'TERF' philosopher and got """doxxed""" (called out) on a philosophy blog.
Funny, because philosophy students are 100% of the time responsible for mangling interpretations. It's really funny to watch them get mad when anybody comes in, actually reads the books (more than they probably had to do for their classes) and can "get" the point or at least debate it. "No no no", they insist, "we're philosophy majors so we understand better".
As if it's not a joke subject at this point. All the people who actually understand logic go into math. The idea that a science major can't interpret a philosopher's work better than a philosophy major is a top-tier delusion.
I'm locking this post because video games are bad and dumb, and playing them makes you a perma-virgin who ends up goose-stepping around with your wannabe nazi buddies until you shoot up a school.
Is this a joke? It sounds like but also like something gamerghazi would unironically say

1 e-guy 2018-12-19
not an argument!
For a quick rundown on the more obscure people:
Ian Miles Cheong is a right-wing journalist/blogger type
Steven Crowder is a conservative guy who makes little jokey political videos and "gotcha!" segments where he makes fun of dumb liberal arts majors who don't know what they're talking about but try to sound smart anyway. Similar to Laura Southern, I guess.
Palmer Lucky is the founder of the Oculus VR... thing. Not sure what they do exactly besides make overpriced gimmicky meme tech, but yeah, that's what he was known for. He got kicked out after people found out he's actually a conservative living in Silicon Valley, which is normally punishable by death but in this case he was given the mercy of exile.
Bunty King is a YouTuber. Not even sure why he's on that list tbh, he's not even all that conservative, more centrist anti-SJW than anything.
Stefan Molyneux is a living meme and political commentator in the vein of Jordan B. Memerson.
Butch Hartman makes cartoon shows for kids. He's not even really conservative so much as he is a devout Christian. But I guess being Christian = being fascist now. I think I read a thinkpiece of Slate about that while sipping my soy chai latte at Starbucks.
Dave Rubin is a lolbertarian. He deserves derision and dismissal. Though I don't know of any connection between him and PewDiePie, so... idk why he's there.
Christina Hoff Sommers is an OG feminist who never really got on board with 3rd wave feminism's brand of intersectionality and privilege and shit, so she's now seen as the black sheep of the feminist scholars, because she finds PC culture to be mostly bullshit and while doing normal feminist stuff also campaigns for men's (mostly boys, I think, technically) rights, too. She has a pretty good book about discrimination and emotional abuse against young boys and how it shapes society, I'd recommend it.
1 Van-Diemen 2018-12-19
Also lolbertarianism, autismal as it may be, is basically the polar opposite of fascism. Fascism is right-wing collectivism while libertarians are hyper-individualistic to a fault.
Hell, in theory fascism is a revolutionary ideology so technically it doesn't even count as conservative.
I have no idea why fart-huffing retards feel the need to put everyone that makes them butthurt into the same all-encompassing boogieman. Laziness? Extremely low intelligence? Both?
1 forward_dawn 2018-12-19
If you want to be a fascist, you're free to do so, as long as every time you command your dictatorship, everyone consents to your commands. And that you can only imprison/kill people who consent to you doing so. And you can only invade other countries for lebensraum if they consent. And only if you're below 6'.
1 TheMauveHand 2018-12-19
It's simple, really: you don't get the outraged reactions you want if you just say "PewDiePie made some jokes I consider crass and I think he should consider his influence more when speaking". You have to call him Hitler, that's how you get people to pay attention. Nuance has no place in an ecosystem where eyeballs are currency.
1 Woolgun 2018-12-19
I think this is part of why people fucking lose their shit the the fat hairy guy (aka Boogie) says something stupid.
You know alt righters would love to paint him as "SJW" and leftists and liberals and an alt righter but he doesn't quite fit into any group. I think this is part of why people hate him so much, when he says something idiotic they can't put him in a box and be done with it, rather they need to shit on every single dumb opinion he has.
It's fun to watch tho so I can't complain.

They really aren't. I looked up holodomor and the first two posts each reached the front page and were deconstructing claims made by tankies that the holodomor was natural/caused by the west
1 TheCodexx 2018-12-19
/r/badhistory is perfectly willing to discount perfectly good books by perfectly good authors because something stated in it doesn't support their narrative. They'll just gang-up on anyone who disagrees and states that there is any ambiguity, or cites any author they don't like.
Sometimes they're right about stuff but you basically have to back them into a corner where the statement is so absurd that politics doesn't matter, like the "Medieval PoC" blog, and even then they'll try to look for ways to justify some parts of it or to virtue signal.

1 mrmcdude 2018-12-19
Huh. The guy is literally outraged at Pewdiepie for asking for feedback on what classical literature he should read next, because it's possible that he might in the future misinterpret the thing that he hasn't read or commented on yet. That's amazing.

I see his outrage tbh I mean everybody who's ever read that book is now an actual fascist simply because PDP read the same book. PDP really is turning people into fascists smh.
1 Corporal-Hicks 2018-12-19
Youre not joking BTW. Last year i had a bunch of classical literature on my wish list and sent it to family members for christmas. My ultra-progressive aunt actually asked me "why i would want those books?" Implying i was researching nazism. The list had Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Orwell, etc. When did reading existentialism become pro nazism?
1 diggity_md 2018-12-19
You didn't ask for books written by latinx womyn of color that challenge dominant paradigms of social performativity and toxic heteropatriarchal masculinity, so clearly you are bazi aligned. The fuck did Dostoyevsky understand about the human condition anyway?

Look no further as to why philosophy as an academic field is a fucking joke nowadays
1 SRSLovesGawker 2018-12-19
To be fair, the philosophy departments haven't been exactly held to high regard for decades now. They get kept around because it's ridiculously cheap to run a philosophy course... both in running costs (all it takes is the cost to keep the lights and heat on in a classroom) and personnel (philosophy students literally have no other work prospects, so they'll teach for helluva cheap.)
1 TheCodexx 2018-12-19
That's actually not "cheap". Paying a person to show up is actually fairly expensive, and that's a room that could probably be spend opening up another course that has more value to students. At this stage, some departments are there because of internal politics and tradition.
Modern Philosophy is a joke because:
In short, philosophy is basically just another propaganda center that's mad because the rigorous arm of their subject redefined itself and the best aspects of its arm were written nearly two centuries ago and everything since then has been utter rubbish.
1 Snowayne2 2018-12-19
This is the wrong place to post this bait.
1 SRSLovesGawker 2018-12-19
If you said this to someone who didn't actually know some adjuncts, you might have been able to get away with it. :D Nice try tho.
C'mon man. Lecture halls aren't task specific unless they're surgical theatres or such. One class spends an hour or so in a room, they pack up and move on and the next class comes in. I mean yeah, maybe if you're talking some tiny campus with seriously limited space, but I've yet to walk on a campus where all rooms are in 100% utility.
... plus, value to the students is kind of irrelevant. The student, for whatever reason, has decided that pursuing a BA (in this case, one with a philosophy component) is valuable. The college/uni in question is filling that demand, and it's a helluva lot cheaper for a school to seat a phil major than, say, a premed or any sort of engineer.
1 TheCodexx 2018-12-19
That's true, but the whole department isn't adjuncts.
If you look at a schedule, there are certainly gaps. But if you actually talk to any department heads or deans about scheduling then usually their idea of a room being "booked solid" has a much lower bar. There's intentionally gaps left in the schedule that, for whatever reason aren't booked. At some schools, especially those with longer lectures, it's common to see quite a few gaps too short to actually place any classes. Why this happens, I don't know, but economically 100% room utilization is optimal for profits and after that less valuable courses with lower enrollment are still effectively underutilization.
Philosophy isn't the worst major but some of the professors are really screwy. Choice of materials provides ample opportunity for professors to teach their own personal beliefs on subjects, which is frankly just poor form.

It's like they distilled every philosophy major's ability to insist "no the interpretation I like that my teacher taught me is correct and if you disagree you're reading it wrong" into a single subreddit.
So much for actually discussing things.
1 Ultrashitposter 2018-12-19
Because what is 'bad' philosophy is a rather contentious thing. Calling out bad reasoning and shitty logic is one thing, as is just making blatantly false claims ("Heidegger called himself an existentialist"). But things like moral non-realism aren't bad philosophy, they're just unpopular. Doesn't matter that you've got a shitload of commies there who will see anyone who disagrees with them as the spawn of Satan.

Funny, because philosophy students are 100% of the time responsible for mangling interpretations. It's really funny to watch them get mad when anybody comes in, actually reads the books (more than they probably had to do for their classes) and can "get" the point or at least debate it. "No no no", they insist, "we're philosophy majors so we understand better".
As if it's not a joke subject at this point. All the people who actually understand logic go into math. The idea that a science major can't interpret a philosopher's work better than a philosophy major is a top-tier delusion.
