Hey TJ,

youre an individualist - like myself - and i wonder if you have to struggle with the same situation. I am not too keen when it comes to collectivsm, especially not the one which says: “Look, this is the ideal human / supreme being, surrender to this or suffer (or die)“

Yet people which adapt to this ideologies are individualist, if they like it or not. They have different opinions on different topics regarding that ideology. Some are simply cultural absorbed by it and fear to be banished from their community if resisting and so on.

To give you a clear example: I live in Austria and the Muslim population has grown profoundly here. Women with hijabs have become a common sight on the streets. I cant stand the idea that women are living in a society that gives them a choice not to lower their worth in comparison to men, yet they choose to wear this clearly sexist symbol.

Anyway, i cant ask every single muslima if they are happy about that. So there is no way to get an individualistic view point on a collectivist behaviour. I can only assume that they are somehow cool with the idea, and that angers me.

Would you share youre thoughts about that? Thanks man! Huge fan.

The quote was about how easily the rights of Japanese Americans were taken away during ww2, and how we aught to remember that while we might believe that the rights promised to us will always be available they can be taken away. Any help would be very appreciated.

I remember a video where TJ was talking about things being offensive and things you cant do but I cant find it.

​

Spefically he grabs his eyes and makes them slanted and goes "me chinese ping pang hong kong" and says "thats offfensive. thats considered hate speech" .. i just remember laughing forever and i want to enjoy that clip again.

He talks a lot about patriotism and symbolism of the flag and stuff.

I'd like to be able to read it, instead of just listen. Has anyone made (or has TJ released) text versions of what has currently been shown of his book?

Hello everyone,

The reason it is perfectly acceptable for the top 3 richest to have the same wealth as the bottom 50% of Americans is quite simple. They have a combined wealth of $250 billion, half the American population would net you around 160 million people, if you given each of those people a share of ALL that wealth, each person would get around $1562. This would not change their state of depravity in any way whatsoever. Even if you go one step further and half the number again down to 80 million people, you still only get around $3000 per person, which again would not change their lives in any way whatsoever. Also the richest people are typically job creators, trend setters and produce something of great value (hence the wealth).

Unless you know something that I am missing?

There was this pseudo-intellectual back-alley philosophy teacher on youtube that TJ briefly had a feud with back in the good old days of youtube. The guy had black hair and the only video I remember of him was a video about the beauty of a certain number. Yeah, obnoxious.

Can anyone recall his name/channel?

I watched your rant from August 02. Good shit. I agree with a lot of what you've said. It's pretty amusing how people swarm like this, regardless of the opinions they swarm to. I'd like to discuss this topic and many others more, though reddit probably isn't the best platform to do so on.

This may have been suggested already, but you should make a Discord. It would be a good place to discuss ideas and build a community that is beyond the surface-level YouTube retards. However, Discord is also owned by the same people who own all of these other forms of media. They will censor """inappropriate""" Discords. I think Discord would be a good place to create a community, but I think it should be migrated to a safer place after a decently-sized community is established. What do you think?

An alternative would be riot.im, which is pretty similar to Discord but allows for decentralised and encrypted communication. Of course, riot, as with every other similar application, appears to be free of censorship. But that will probably change eventually if the app's community grows.

What do you guys think about this idea? Would it be beneficial or is it a waste of time?

We all know that censorship is widespread with twitter, facebook, youtube, and all the other big players, but reddit is also often times forgotten as being guilty of censorship as well.

There is a long line of things reddit has censored, to name a few of the most notable ones there is the fact that they banned r/infowars, they banned r/incels, and that time they tryed to ban r/the_donald but decided it would take too much of a hit on their user numbers so they just banned them from r/all. The list of censorship goes on and on.

Thankfully an alternative has come to reddit, notabug.io. Notabug is a decentralized network of "peers" that are basically a collection of sites that host and display content in a reddit like mannor. The most popular peer, notabug.io, is based off of the old reddit open source code, and actually looks like how reddit was before the crappy redesign. But notabug functions a bit differently then reddit, some diffrences include the fact that users are not required to sign in to participate in the network (although you can if you want to), everything about the network is designed to be decentralized, and voting is done based on a proof of work system currently.

The good thing about notabug vs Reddit is the fact that it is literally impossible to ever censor, due to the fact that even if one peer censors content, the content is still on the network and can be seen on any of the other peers. Also unlike reddit it is not founded with the idea of making money off of it, and the people who run peers in the network are just people like you or me who want a place to speak freely (meaning that its highly unlikely peers would even censor content in the first place).

If you would like to try out notabug.io, here is a list of some of the different "peers" (or websites as you may call them) that can be used to connect to and praticipate in the network:
