I shouldn't be doing this but i keep shaking whenever i see him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVg549MlF-E
the rageaholic needs to cut back on the rage or he's gonna be bald by the next 3 years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOtinTlx7yo also a good video
It's really gross how pundit-itis has spread from news networks to youtube.
I might be taking out of context but Capitalist Hollywood as Commieland? Give me a break.
Y'know listening to this Waynes World Jim Carrey fuck got me to thinking. I used to be apathetic to the idea of a wall because it was law for immigrants to not just walk in. About 7 minutes in I'm hearing him say the words "Open borders" and it's kind of just hitting me that not being able to travel wherever without a big hassle is really lame. While I think a nation's law should be respected, this guy's rambling and choice of words has ironically caused me to realize perhaps there's some issue with how convoluted the law is rather than it's failure to be enforced.
It's quite well known to the rest of the world that the US immigration system is a fucking nightmare to get through. Even if you're not brown it can be a complete ballache. US immigration laws are being enforced (and were being enforced, that's never really changed) plenty fine, it's just such a long winded and convoluted process that for those fleeing for their lives it's genuinely easier and safer to just skirt around it rather than risk being denied asylum for whatever arbitrary reason the border officials can find. A wall wont help. Making the immigration system less of a clusterfuck might however.
Screw that. Not even remotely gonna attempt tourism either. From the moment you land, you're treated as a potential hostile until you get the fuck out of the country again. Country is paranoid as shit.
Isn't the rageaholic the same retard who said The Witcher 3 was one of the worst games of the decades because it was buggy and that Omikron is an underappreciated masterpiece ?
My mates who have been over there for holiday and work did mention that just getting into the country temporarily with the rights Visas can be a marathon of shit too. With the border agents questioning every aspect of your life until they're certain you're not a nazi or communist or whatever. Once they were through it was a bit less of a pain. Getting out is no problem at all though so that's a positive!
Yeah. The same guy who hates Fallout NV for not handholding you. Well at least he know to bring up the map in Omikron unlike Mat and Patt or some shit.
Most of the time it feels like Razorfist is contrarian for the sake of it. He called Horizon Zero Dawn the worst game of the year, showing that he either doesn't play a lot of shitty games or has stupidly high or weird standards.
Fleeing directly into the country's borders is the internationally accepted (including us, we signed in accords to agree to be bound to understand that we may not put criminal laws in place to make more difficult or burdensome the seeking of asylum, which prosecuting people for 'illegally entering' the country is so long as we require you to be physically present in the United States to even begin to apply for Asylum) and completely legal way to seek Asylum. It's not just easier and safer, it is what USCIS wants you to do. Nowhere on its page does it tell you 'go only to approved border crossings, which are located here, there, and there'. Nowhere on its page does it point out that crossing the border is a crime. It doesn't say these things because even if you fled across our border illegally, and even if you had no immigration forms, and even if you remained in the country for ten months before filing your Asylum paperwork: None of that works against your application for Asylum. All of that is ignored.
He also shat on Battletech because it had a woman in a hijab and a 'they' pronoun option.
That's the equivalent of complaining when you're being offered both Pepsi and Coca Cola.
Essentially, I like his videos about heavy metal history as he does his research but stay as far fucking back as you can when it comes to politics or culture.
There is a lot of bad information in this video but the two big ones are luckily within the first 90 seconds so you don't have to hear his grating voice. Firstly, the article he references is about isn't about separated children, it's about unaccompanied minors. I'll link it here, which he neglected to do in either his description or the video itself, going so far as to hide the full headline and URL. Secondly, and more importantly, this wasn't a singular policy, it's a confluence of factors. First is the courts finding that you cannot detain children with their parents in federal facilities. However, if you are trying immigration cases in immigration courts as a civil or administrative affair, these refugees would be released to Health and Human Resources, specifically the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Border Patrol under Bush and Obama did separate families at times, but the numbers are difficult to find and it wasn't a matter of course like it is under Trump. Which is why it's different; Trump made trying all cases of illegal immigration as felonies, which means appearing before a federal judge, which means that by nature of the law the families have to be separated. The insinuation seems to be that Trump is simply continuing a policy that had existed for years, or at most simply ratcheting it up, when this isn't the case at all. Vox has done a recent writeup which I will link here. Yes, Vox isn't a tremendously great source, but it's the best report I've seen on it yet and I'm sureif someone disagrees they will point out what they got wrong. Also he at one point cites the Center for Immigration Studies, a far-right think tank with the objective of reducing immigration and was founded by an avowed white supremacist.
I think his argument about immigrants costing money because educating extra kids is irrelevant because those kids then go on to work and pay taxes (afaik), adding value to the economy.
https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/immigration-border-crisis/obama-era-pilot-program-kept-asylum-seeking-migrant-families-together-n885896 NBC reporting that not only did Obama have a pilot plan to keep families together, it was wildly successful at integration and at keeping immigrants from evading immigration court. If you listen closely, you can hear the dying breaths of a false narrative.
What is it with metal-heads and alt-light/nativist/"I'm-not-racist-but" rhetoric? I would've never associated the metal community with conservatism, but I've been noticing a lot of that lately. Have I just not been paying attention? Or am I off base here?
its been a thing for about 40-50 years, blame skinheads.
Since when have facts stopped their narratives?
Metal culture is way too broad to make that kind of generalization. It's just a hair's breath short of "why are all gamers alt-righter harrassers?"
Is this what became of spoony?
Really?.. I only watched his video where he refused to review Witcher 3, I imagined he subscribed to that rather popular opinion that Sapkowski copied Geralt off of Moorcock's Elric. But that's even more hilarious.
He's been pushing that exact line of bullshit since the first game.
I probably tuned out upon hearing "Witcher... Sapkowski... plagiarism".
I tune him out like 3/4ths of the time. I stopped watching the BT review after he opened up with a salvo about how the game ignored the lore because hijabs and trans people. Even though later novels included such characters and this was headed by Weisman, the original creator.
Of course. Evil SJWs at it again, adding minorities and absolutely DESTROYING the lore of every universe.
I got the game because giant robots and fuedal politics, not because I wanted to argue the point that somehow Islam survived, even though every major power has a listed central religion.
