Yes and no. Is the guy a weirdo, hell yeah. But People need to understand social media is not consequence free. If you're not willing to say something in the town square, don't post it. the older generation discovered Facebook and has been eating itself because of it
Yea, so doing the bare minimum? You guys tried to cancel everyone for not agreeing with gay marriage, but now you want to act like opposing those that support assassination of a president is the same thing? 😂😂😂 gtfoh with that logic
the home depot dude was completely out of line with the statement, "As a veteran I'm disgusted. What have you done for your country?" as if she is a second class citizen because she didn't serve for the military.
@@TheLRRPS - Literally tracking them down in real life is definitely stalking. And doing it for something they said online makes it absolutely unhinged.
Just a reminder that kick allowed Adin Ross, with an owner on call, to repeatedly call Destiny the f-slur and have his community doxx him with zero reprecussions. Destiny didn't violate kicks guidelines, he just attacked the people they agree with.
they allowed people to stream actual porn to minors and didnt kick them off. i hate destiny, but this is just funny irt kick. they’re being the snowflakes they complain abt
Destiny got banned from twitch for being too right winged and kick suspended him for being too left winged. I disagree with alot of what he says but fair play to him for standing up for what he believes without pandering to one side or the other
Additionally the barrage of death threats Destiny took by popular streamers some even supported by Hassan , with zero action taken And now him making a joke or having an opinion is blasphemy - Every day we leap and gallop away from freedom of speech
its the most backwards thing he's done yet. first he says he won't accept being blackmailed or paid off to make the site more advertiser friendly, and now he says this like he's worried about it again. things can be sad but that doesn't stop the hate train and the heavy criticism of the public.
I can sympathize with his feelings...but people should think more carefully before they say something imo. Destiny is not saying anything I have not felt...but at the same time I have a filter and that means thinking beyond just a knee jerk feeling about what happens in politics. It is not valid criticism to me to suggest that we should suspend our humanity for those we don't agree with politicality rather than point out how unnecessary it is that those we disagree should be made to suffer.
You sheep are advocating for murder, while cancel culture was trying to cancel people for making gay jokes. It’s insane that you guys are reaching this far to make a paper thin comparison.
Wtf with the focus of most comments here (not just this one). Yes, lets highlight the hipocrisy of some conservatives, or the dude's behaviour to go and cancel this woman (which I don't agree with btw), and just ignore the fact that said take, and Destiny's, basically give a pass, if not advocate, for political violence by literally wishing for a successful assasination attempt on not only the candidate, but one of his supporters. Let's point out the fact that conservatives did it first, so yeah, serves them right, and ignore the severity of the fact that your side is doing the same things you apparently seem to condemn.
@@user-op8fg3ny3jyeah but If you hear him talk about being banned from twitch he admits he should be banned. So I think he is okay with the consequences
Kick banning Destiny for "hate speech" is so wild - top streamers on the site spew actual violent, racist, misogynistic, and homophobic rhetoric and language all the time. Banning Destiny for hate speech over this is a clear and brazen demonstration of Kick's true beliefs as a company, not just the beliefs of its top streamers.
It's weird that someone took time out of their day to stalk and confront someone over an opinion on the internet, as harsh as it was I'm not gonna put my life on hold over something and/or someone so trivial. I don't know that woman, and it really speaks volumes of the supposed "veteran" in that video. My grandpa is a veteran, air force, and he doesn't throw his service nor his position at random strangers to make himself look holier than thou whenever he's upset about something or someone!
She perhaps thought she was screaming in the void instead of posting something in the internet with ill intentions. Seriously? Posting something online with such thoughts and you expect no one crazy will come after you? Damn, some people have lived comfortable lives for so long they don't dare double check their attitudes online.
What's the chances it was some far from the other side of the country? It was probably a local who knew this person worked at Home Depot. Phil's story of the man tracking her down is conjecture.
Thanks for talking about 988. As a Navy Vet I used this when I moved to Washington state 2 years ago and they expedited my ability to see a mental health provider when I needed it. The staff was really kind and let me just cry for awhile. Sometimes you just need to be heard. This is definitely a beneficial resource the VA actually needed. It’s worth every dime. I’m rehabilitated now. And thanks to those people I may not be here today.
I hope the 988 line goes well. In the UK we have 111 (press 2) which takes you to your local helpline that links you to the crisis team. When I had a PTSD episode a couple of weeks ago, I called our crisis line & they stayed on the phone with me for 2 hours, never swapping callers and talking me out of a frantic state that could have escalated to self injury. They truly do save lives, wherever you are in the world, don’t be afraid to reach out ❤
@@Jordyb33123 You’re welcome nor did I until recent! Just call 111, it says press 2 for Mental Health, you’re immediately transferred to a local or rough area crisis line 🩷

I called 988, I wasn't in a place where I was going to do anything but my feelings were rock bottom. The lady I spoke to was the sweetest woman ever. I could tell she was working from home, juggling kids. I thanked her so much for hearing me and just being someone who understands. I thanked her for working as a first responder because I can imagine that the calls she gets all day aren't easy. We both got a little emotional with gratitude, and it kicked off an upward trend in my life. I've been doing so much better and I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to them if you need them, and if you end up getting a job as a first responder for 988, you're an absolute hero.
I'm glad you're doing better and I'm really glad the interaction went well for you, but the people who work for 988 are not trustworthy, they laugh about people once the phone call is over, as they did for me. I think it's dangerous to praise their organization when they did nothing to fix the problems that the national hotline has always had.
Your conversation partner sounds lovely, Im so happy you got what you needed too! Sometimes we just need to be seen, heard and understood, a lil bit help surviving the worst moments and reaching better headspace. This could be game-changer for seriously lonely people, who dont have regular contact to other humans. Awesome, I love that you have this option in the US too. And because Im part of police accountability community and seen too many mental health codes end in unnecessary arrest, manhandling, permanent harm and even death, this service is so much better option and obviously so needed. Im going to spread 988 from now on thru our community, this needs more awareness! Im done seeing the videos I keep seeing, almost on daily basis. Much love for inspiring me :)
I worked for a crisis hotline for about a year around 2017. We were a local center with our own number, but also took calls from the national line. I’d like to think that I helped a lot of people. We had several regulars who we helped keep going. This reminded though that last year I was talking to someone who had recently lost a friend to suicide. I shared my experience with the hotline and she proceeded to shit all over me. She told me that we were awful and never helped anyone. Maybe I shouldn’t take it so personally, but that hurt a lot. Maybe we couldn’t save everyone, but I’m glad that resources like that exist. The reason why I wanted to work there is because I needed their help at one point. There’s no real point to this story. I’m just venting into the void. But I hope that the crisis line gets the funding it needs and continues to get better and more accessible to everyone.
I came close to texting one of those numbers. I’m glad they’re a resource given the world we live in now and lack of resources. It’s fucked and this wasn’t the America we were promised as kids. Your story matters and that work mattered. Thanks for sharing.
Regarding that school bill, I went to high school in Indiana and was a member of the school's "Poetry Club." That's in quotes because even though we *did* create and share poetry, it also off-the-records served as a LGBT "safe space" and a mental health support group. The club was ran mostly by us students, while the teacher who "officially" ran the club sat in the back so anyone who needed an adult to talk to could go to her. Unfortunately, the city's school board passed an ordinance that a teacher who learned *any* student was LGBT or was possibly dealing with mental health issues *must* report that information to both the dean and that student's parents or face being terminated. This effectively disbanded the club. Our teacher actually admitted to us that she would never "snitch" on us, but we knew that there would always be a chance someone would let the wrong person know she wasn't snitching and she would lose her job, so we all decided to shut the club down.
Damn, that’s fucked. But I commend the teacher. I would have done the same to protect the kids from me, which is a weird thing to say. That is so sad. It reminds me of the Throne of Glass series I’m reading through, where they don’t want to know each others secrets, knowing the king might use that against them and kill them, jail them, or send them to the demon king to be turned in to a monster. I’d rather my sweet students not get sold out, when I ultimately get sold out by my district. I’m glad I’m not teaching anymore.
Definitely not agreeing on the choice of words from Destiny, but I think it's wild how he got banned from Kick (temporarily) for *that*, while they have no problem leaving Groomers and Predators not only on the plattform, but they're even followed/supported by staff and leadership.
The only reason this factor has became news is cause of the words though isn’t it? If he had been traditionally calm and polite it wouldn’t have gone anywhere.
Aren’t y’all the same people who cheer on the mass censorship of your political opponents? Now you’re upset after someone cheered on the death of an innocent person. Leftist really have no morals
@@iamjurell Why are you asking for examples for something that is so obvious? Thats a weird thing i have noticed where if people disagree with someone politically they lose 30 iq points and ask the dumbest questions. Kyle Gass would be the best example i guess but there are dozens of online personalities and hundreds of internet randos that said something along the lines of i wish he had better aim or next time don't miss.
@@dandelo4666 wait, so your example of someone 'getting fired for saying "I don't like trump" and not condoning murder' is Kyle gass? The one who said on stage that he hopes the next shooter doesn't miss and how his creative partner jack black (took credit for) the tour being cancelled, then gass apologized then deleted his apology? THAT'S your example? Hey, at least you didn't say Destiny....
@@paz1514uh what? I never agreed with cancel culture either. I'm saying they are hypocrites for doing it themselves now And it's much more aggressive than ever
I had a cousin come out as bi to her family, and her parent's response was to literally try to beat it out of her. I think the fact that there are kids who can't safely come out to their families is reason enough for them to have some protection of privacy. Many parents care more about how it affects their own perceived reputation as a parent, than the actual well-being of their child.
Everyone wants to talk about "parents rights" but the thing is that "children's rights to be alive" is more important. But conservatives really don't seem to care.
I spent my entire childhood and teen years terrified my parents would find out I am gay. After coming out to my mother as an adult, having myself and my husband ostracized and disowned by my family I can say I was 100% right to stay in the closet until I was safe.
About the cosmetic story, I think it's important to note how dangerous these procedures are becoming. With the higher demand and lax regulations there are many people out there taking advantage and causing harm in the name of a quick buck. Doctor Mike recently interviewed a young woman on his podcast who has been going through hell since getting some kind of injection a few years ago. She's been in and out of the hospital and on so many antibiotics they not only don't work anymore, but have caused more health problems. I can only imagine we'll be hearing more and more stories like this.
As awkward as it feels, I agree with Destiny's take. I think his entire point is that he has no sympathy for people who are supporting a person (Trump) who tried to incite an insurrection of the country that he genuinely loves. People are hyper-focusing on the fact that the guy who was shot is an "innocent firefighter", but for half of that description I imagine Destiny would not consider supporting an insurrectionist to be an innocent stance. I would personally add that someone's job does not absolve them from any immoral actions or statements. Many people in my family are or were firefighters, yet half of them were alcoholics, unfaithful to their wives, or physically and emotionally abusive (or all of the above). We've built some professions up over the years as paragons of virtue in our society, but we forget that the people working in those professions are not saints. They're normal people and they are just as fallible as the rest of us. So while I don't necessarily agree with the way Destiny is going about it on Twitter, I completely understand the sentiment he has expressed on his own stream and on the Piers show. The conservative voices in media, especially alternative media, have been extremely antagonistic, violent, dehumanizing, and dishonest for the entirety of Trump's political timeline. Now they're finally seeing what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that kind of rhetoric and, surprise surprise, it doesn't feel good. One other thing Destiny mentions is that the left has tried for so long to take the moral high ground and not resort to this kind of rhetoric or underhanded tactics. However, this has provided them with none of the benefits and all of the drawbacks. They are not motivating their voters to either vote for them or vote against they're opponents. Meanwhile, the high temp conservative rhetoric and sketchy tactics have given them all of benefits and none of the drawbacks. Look at January 6, the attack on Pelosi's husband, the culture war issues (transgender, crt, vaccines), etc. They will take zero responsibility for anything negative that came of the volatile rhetoric they employed on those topics, but were actually gleeful to reap the rewards, aka emotionally charged voters. Ultimately, I think Destiny is tired of the hypocrisy from the right and is in a unique position where he is relatively insulated from the massive amount of pushback he'll get on this. I imagine the dude probably has enough money to stop streaming and chill out very comfortably for the rest of his life, but this topic obviously matters enough to him that he would risk all of it to speak his truth and his values. With all of that in mind, I don't think this is as crazy as people are making it out to be.
I called 988 in the middle of a panic attack and the woman on the other end helped me so much. She spoke with me for about an hour and was very comforting. We practiced calming techniques together. I was hesitant to call at first but I’m glad I did.
dude thats were im at, like i have seen some absolute WILD ass shit from kick. And what destiny says is the line ? someone feelers got hurt at kick thats all that is lmao
as a former seasonal amazon employee, that doesn’t surprise me at all. the way they have you work and try to contort your body in order to increase your quota is insane. i have existing carpal tunnel and within a week of work, i had to apply for an accommodation regarding my wrist- never had to do that for a job before, and ive worked in other warehouses. id come home with one hand twice the size of the other, caused me to invest in compression socks and gloves. only for my accommodation request to not be honored and them trying to work me past what guidelines had been set up. absolutely atrocious
When I was growing up, no one EVER threw a fit about students asking to be called nicknames, alternate names, etc. The first day of school, every teacher worth their salt would call names and ask if there was a nickname. It wasn’t a big deal if Alexander was Alex or Lexi or whatever as long as they weren’t trying to get called Megatron or Darth Vader.
Wild times man… there was a girl in my school called Alexa, people called her sometimes Alex, no big deal. Now your nickname needs to government approved…. Scary times man.
I mean, we had a guy everybody called "Taco" from like 3rd grade through high school - teachers were always apprehensive at first, but warmed up to it pretty quick
As a mom of two I would like to know what gives me as a parent more rights than my children? Why should I get more rights to their lives than they do? No parent owns their children, nor do they own the rights to make their children live a life they choose. You can guide and advise and give your best ideas, most likely also having rules while they are young and need your experiential knowledge to stay safe, but ultimately they are their own person, not your property. It is also most likely that these parents whose kids aren't ready to talk to them come from household with strict judgements about different lifestyles from their own, and therefore these kids will keep this part away from their parents for as long as possible. It is also insane to expect teachers to step into these kinds of messes.
"as a veteran, I'm disgusted! What have you provided to this country?" this from someone who has taken more than most from said country. the hypocrisy is amazing.
It’s very hypocritical that one side can “joke” and make disgusting comments while the other side is supposed to be held at a higher standard. Breaking it down this was a former president we are talking about so I see the whole side of America however I feel like to even ask of that kind of loyalty, sympathy or support from people you have mocked and targeted is dumb plain and simple. 🤷🏻♂️ I shouldn’t have to avoid hurting your feelings while you can step on everyone else’s. I will say this, it doesn’t mean I or anyone should condone this kind of behavior from EITHER side and while I would expect people of certain caliber to uphold a better standard i would never believe you should punish any of them in anyway.
You are held at a higher standard if your whole moral and political ground is that those types of comments aren't allowed. It's as basic as it gets, two wrongs don't make a right.
The worst thing about this is that we haven't learned anything new about them. We knew they were hypocrites about "cancel culture" at least since Colin Kaepernick. I'm sure there were even examples concurrent with them starting to use that term.
@@99Plastics incorrect….. both sides have things that shouldn’t be said and they say them anyway this is freedom of speech…. The higher standard doesn’t come from your political beliefs it comes from the position of power. You should want people happy, healthy and able to pursue happiness in a way that doesn’t harm others intentionally or directly. This doesn’t mean anyone is “right” for making fun of anyone however you believe you can make fun of someone or do something while the other shouldn’t is wrong and I won’t support that.
I am a teacher who came from an abusive home: Parents of my students are important and included, but they are 3rd on my priority list. This list is based on distance from ME. 1st are students, 2nd is the school itself/other teachers and students/, and 3rd are parents. I live in a rural area and had multiple students ask to act differently/call them a different name amongst their parents due to fear. I am a parent of 3 myself, but I am also aware that many MANY students dont need their parents now, especially after they turn 18. My ultimate goal is to make them good adults by being able to make their own informed decisions. I want them to increase their own power, thats it.
I think Phil's team needs to rethink the "this is how people are responding online" angle when they're exclusively using Twitter which pushes the paid blue checkmarks to the top of all replies
@@joshuagonzalez5959saying the same shite on a different comment doesn't make you more right. What about the consequences for the hundreds of people at Jan 6th? What about all the people who still have jobs after posting hammer time memes about Pelosi? What about all the people telling AOC to set herself on fire who are yet to be doxxed? Sounds like your side is due some consequences.
@@joshuagonzalez5959 Literally doesn't apply. He's not contradicting himself. Republicans are being hypocrites, the one who claim to hate cancel culture, yet are using it against regular citizens instead of the usual public figures that liberals and others use it on.
Most of the conservatives or centrists I've seen agree that Destiny shouldn't have been suspended from Kick. We believe in free speech at the conceptual level.
Huh that's weird because Destiny is still on Twitter unlike all the conservatives that were banned from the platform entirely. All Elon did was demonize him he can still post about him getting cucked whenever he wants.
Conservative Christians have *always* been pro 'cancel culture'. See the satanic panic. How anyone takes these people seriously in any capacity is beyond me.
As a former Amazon employee, I definitely believe those stats. Amazon doesn't really care about its employees. I worked in Fluid Load (which is loading the Semi), and almost every night someone went to wellness because a wall fell on them or some other injury. It wasn't till I was leaving that they changed the wall height requirement and the machines (which in my opinion the machines made it more dangerous). Also when I got hurt and a wall almost fell on me because they didn't train the employee correctly (which is in most cases), I had to beg them to report it! All in all, I'm happy to be out of that sweatshop!
Destiny cares more about showing others hypocrisy than bundling the message in a principle way. But his rudeness is getting his point being talked about. He is not the Destiny we want, but he is the Destiny we all deserve.
I understand Destiny's anger over this and it's justified. Republicans, for years, have been pushing for this constantly but the moment someone, unabashedly, feels no sympathy for the thing they've been promoting...all of a sudden is awful and wrong. The anger is there, it's valid. What I would ask him to do, however, is to talk to non-political content creators about this. I think his biggest issue now is talking to people who'll bad faith the situation, people like Rubin who, as Phil pointed out, is complicit in the rhetoric. I'd like to see him talk to bigger content creators who aren't political but want to be educated on the subject on why the Republicans deserve no sympathy for this, especially since it was another Republican behind the whole thing.

I have been working at 988, on the lgbtq+ youth line for a year and a half now. As much as I love connecting with those in need, burnout is real.

For the Amazon injuries segment, I was one of them. The way a manager described it was it being a constant workout routine for 10 hours straight. I remember one overnight shift I was trying my hardest to keep up with the absurdly fast rate and I had a sudden sharp pain go through my head and down my spine. All of a sudden, everything felt slower. My thoughts were slower, my movements were slower, my reflexes, everything felt like it was shutting down. I walked away from that job for the betterment of my health, but my cognitive ability hasn't been the same since.
I'm sorry you had to go through that at the hands of mass consumerism 😢! I shop online like everyone else for various reasons, mostly health issues that prevent me from going to the store, but I absolutely believe people deserve safe work environments and a liveable wage.

If everyone who ever said something that offended someone lost their job over it, the unemployment rate in this country would be 100%. Amazing to see so many snowflakes in the heat of the summer.
The talk about parental rights in this case is insane. It's not about the rights of parents here, it's about teachers not being required by law to snitch on their students who talk to them about things in confidence. If a student can't talk to their parents or teachers they are going to be alienated for both. It's to protect kids and give them a safe place they can talk through issues before they might go to their parents. It also means that if a student wants to be called by a nickname to try new things then teachers have to tell their parents that "little Samantha in my class told me that she wants to go by Sam now" which is insane
Teachers as representatives of the State, do not have the right to keep information from parents pertaining to their children. Parents are vested with the ability to exert the rights of their children until age of majority, but to do so must be aware of such to even do so. By allowing the State to hide activities, actions and information from parents you essentially gut the parents ability to do so. Governments must be transparent as can be, but particularly in instances where they have direct control and supervision of minors. Your intent may be well placed, but your methodology is flawed and the ramifications thereof dire.
@@darklelouchg8505 Ok but parents do not have the right to circumvent their child's autonomy through mandates that information that their child chose not to share with them must be disclosed to them. Teachers are only mandated reporters when it comes to information that is harmful to the a child or to others in regards to a child. That does not include a child questioning their gender identity, which is not directly harmful to a child or others in regards to a child, such as them wanting to harm another child. Parents right to act in the best interest of their child does not mean they have to know everything about their child at all times. Forced outing laws and practices only serve to strip children of their abilities to make decisions as to who they want to tell and when they want to tell things to. For instance a child tells their teacher they don't feel like a boy and would like to not be addressed as such is not an something a teacher has to report to parents. If the child wants their parents to know they will tell them. Also if teachers are agents of the government then why then do they have to report information of this nature to parents and not the state. It seems like people want teachers to be agents of parents in the classroom instead of doing their job and teaching.
@@darklelouchg8505nah, school calls if you don’t show up, they call if you misbehave. A lot of these laws are to specifically target LGBTQ children and supportive teachers. If you don’t know what your kids are doing day in and out what have you been doing as a parent? Why should teachers have to do more unpaid labor? We should pay teachers more and create less hostile environments for students.
@@darklelouchg8505 All of that is well and good if you have good/understanding parents. Unfortunately, not every kid has good parents and in some of those situations, information like this can very well cause the home life to be "dire".
@@darklelouchg8505 the parents could simply just ask the teacher, it's absurd to require parental permission for a student to go by Jonny instead of Jonathan, or Alex instead of Alexis. Or use they instead of she/he.
It actually makes destiny look really stupid to think a ex speaker of houses -husbands, naked friend with a hammer he invited into his kitchen to talk is the same as a presidential assassination. In fact I bet everyone laughed out loud like I did when destiny said the word “hypocritical”. As fucking if. No one can explain how it’s hypocritical. Literally no one can. Not you. Not Phil. Not destiny. No one can come up with a single reason for why it’s hypocritical. All they can do is use the word and hope no one researches the Paul polosi incident cause then they would see it has nothing to do with an attempted murder of an important person.
Anyone can go look at the court case, your retelling of the incident is fueled by conservative conspiracy bull. The leaked police phone call showed that Paul had no idea who the intruder was, the camera footage from the officers showed that he was not naked, he had shorts on, and literally every aspect of the story you’re talking about is hyper partisan twitter BS that proves destinys point.

I worked at the Amazon warehouse in Kansas City for over 2 years. It was hell there; the building was hot all year round. Managers refused to add more fans. Forced overtime, especially during the prime week and what they consider "Peak season." "Peak" is around 8 weeks, and my typical 4-day, 10-hour shift work week was changed to a 5-day, 11-hour work week. The rates they expect are crazy for one person to do, for example (600 items an hour in stow, 400 items an hour in pick, 200 items an hour in pack, 1200 items an hour in (can't remember what this one is called it's part of sort side in pack), 600 items per hour in sort.) Given all of this, I'm 100 percent not surprised by the report on Amazon. They could improve things by making sure the temperatures in the warehouse are bearable and by lowering the rate they expect. I can guarantee that most of the injuries that happen there are caused by trying to reach these high rates.

The so-called "veteran" at home depot sure doesn't sound like an actual vet. A true veteran knows who and what they enlisted for, and that's for the right for America and its inhabitants to be free and to uphold the American way.

The fact that this "veteran" targeted an elderly woman who used that right to say something he didn't like, silenced her, and had her lose her job for it is disappointing and sad. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a case of Stolen Valor, but if it isn't and he's a legit vet - I hope other vets saw this and denounced this man.
As a teacher, there are a lot of things I will do for the safety of my students. When it comes to calling them a different name, I'll oblige their request. If they say mom/dad/grandma/grandpa don't know and to not tell them, I won't. That's outside the scope of my job description. I'm not paid to interfere with family matters like that. Especially when all I'm doing is calling them a different name. While it means the world to the student, all I'm really doing is calling someone named "William," "Bill." Ya know?
Not condoning Destiny's comments whatsoever, but for Elon (the self proclaimed last line of defence to free speech) suddenly claiming that Destiny's speech is too far. I don't know if i should find it funnier because of the irony or because he isn't even trying to hide the hypocrisy anymore
you are condoning destinys comments and you know it. Youre just choosing not to focus on them because your mind can't grasp how bad they are since you like him.
@@MasculineIdeal I’ve never heard of Destiny before this story today. This might seem impossible for you because you can’t do it. But you can condemn someone for what they said about someone else while you condemn what someone else has said. I don’t like Trump and it’s horrible that he was nearly assassinated and would never support that or condone it. But that doesn’t mean I can’t equally call out the hypocrisy of musk
@@RJLiams You're focusing on what you think is conserrvative hypocrisy when it's not. It's called deflecting. The story is Destiny rarndomly celebrated a dude getting assassinates and told otther Conserrvatives to get shot too... after prertending to be a good dude. And there was no joking involved. Why don't you look for the hypocrisy there?????
"I'm a veteran, and I'm enraged you don't support a multi time draft dodger." To add the the irony, these are the people that were so upset about "cancel culture"

I saw a Reddit post about someone who worked at a 988 call center. They said they had to deal with a lot of abuse from trolls and a severe lack of support from their employer. It’s incredibly concerning.
so cancel culture is fine as long as it against people we don’t like??🤷♀️ so when they scream about snowflakes, apparently they were talking to a mirror
It should be noted that Elon's tweet about Destiny not being advertiser friendly was in response to someone who he personally unbanned after they initially got suspended for posting CSEM...

Re: the cosmetic procedure discussion. As a mid-30 year old woman I’m so glad I didn’t grow up with social media like today as a teenager. But also now that I’m mid 30’s and starting to see slight wrinkles appear, I didn’t realise how insecure it would make me feel. I’ve never had any procedures done, and have always hoped skincare would be enough, though my sensitive skin can’t handle products like retinol which is the main anti-aging ingredient. But aging people all around me, online and in film and tv have these procedures done. No one wants to look their age, they want to look younger because that’s seen as more attractive (according to online, film & tv, and maybe society?). And weirdly that has been affecting me more and more too. I can’t say I’ll never have any cosmetic procedures done like Botox but I still have no desire to get this done at the moment, I wonder how long it will take me to change my mind. I’ve noticed that whenever I see an older woman on tv and she’s clearly had a cosmetic procedure and doesn’t look her age at all (though I always think they look beautiful), I feel sad. All I want to see are women that look like their age and are confident looking their age. But I do have to admit that this is the film & tv industry, I assume that they cast young looking women and if women look their age, maybe they have less of a chance to be cast. I start wondering if older actors on screen that have had procedures done, whether that’s because it makes them love themselves more and they feel confident or they felt they needed it to stay relevant in the industry is unclear to me.
If you are the last person to find out your child is trans (or gay or whatever), that is not a failing of the child or whoever else they've told. That is a failure of your parenting. Your child knows you can't be trusted, that you will not respond with love and respect. Then to try and make everyone else in your child's life that they DO trust, to try to force them to betray that trust...Yeah, you've proven the kid's original assessment.
Forgive me for not believing that someone who has named children X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus, actually gives a shit about what is best for his children in the first place.
None of the people on that panel have consistently shown the proper respect to victims of political violence, and they are all wrong for that, but there is still a difference. Destiny doesn't demand respect for people he agrees with, so he's at least consistent. The other three are all happy to be disrespectful to people they disagree with, while demanding the utmost respect for their allies. There's no "winner" there, but at least Destiny isn't a hypocrite.
He 100% is hypocritical, is he a fan of people making fun of the attack on Pelosi's husband or did he condemn that in the very clip included here? He does exactly the thing he's accusing conservatives of.
Thank you Phil, for talking about 988. I didn't even know it existed. After my son, Philip was killed a year ago I have often looked into getting help, but never have because of issues with my health insurance, and wait times. I don't even have insurance now, and figured I had no options at all. 😢
The doxxing story just reminds me that, no matter what my opinion is, I’m better off keeping it to myself than posting it online. Wait, is this online? Oh no, what have I done?!
@@MG-me7iw we know the literal meaning of freedom of speech, but conservatives complain and bitch all the time about “censorship of their freedom of speech“ on social media sites all the time. But as soon as they don’t like speech, they’re first in line at the cancel culture brigade.
Regarding the Bangladesh protests story: As a Bangladeshi, I really appreciate you covering this story. This is unlike most other protests in the nation's past: this generation of Bangladeshis are children of the internet. They've seen the world from their rooms, and they know that other nations wouldn't stand for baised ruling. These quotas do have some merits, but the way they're structured are highly outdated. I hope that my county's students make it through. 🇧🇩
The key thing is a lot of these kids protesting isn't even about the jobs themselves. the "freedom fighter" quota has always been used to sneak in whoever the fuck pays the most cause getting that certificate is a piece of cake as long as you have money but hell incarnate if you wanna do it the legal way. I had 2 uncles (who have sadly passed away) who were freedom fighters and only after my mom used her own government connections as a tax officer did my 2nd uncles kids finally get their certificate (They previously didn't get the certificate cause my uncles didn't want them as evryone knew who they were and they wanted the needy to get them as it was originally intended for)
I did a report on Amazon's working conditions back in December of 2021, actually getting a chance to speak to and interview certain Amazon warehouse workers that I knew on the condition of anonymity. What I found was mildly horrifying. You're basically being worked to the bone in shitty warehouses where there might not even be working air conditioning, your location would be tracked via armbands and you were expected to keep working and only take a handful of breaks. In short, days in the warehouse were described by basically everyone I spoke to as being extremely boring yet extremely chaotic and stressful all at once. To quote one of the people I spoke to: "The job sucks, but it puts food on the table if you can put up with it. Otherwise, they're always hiring the next person available due to the high turnover."
My spouse worked at Amazon for 6 years and this is exactly what he described it as. He said they literally build in turnover as part of everything, they know what they're doing to people and they do not give a single shit.
I worked out of the Fernley, NV warehouse back in 2011 as a contractor. I was placed on medical leave for stress injuries to both of my knees. While on leave I was laid off. They then called me a few weeks later and asked if I was showing up for my shift. I had been homeless for ~5 years prior to this and told them I thought I was laid off but if not I'll be there the next day. They said they'd look into it and followup. Every day for a week they called back asking me if I was showing up. Every day I responded the same way. It was never cleared up.
What I found wild when I briefly worked there was coworkers who would defend Amazon conditions. I was working in the same situation as them. I've worked other factory jobs. I'm sure on some level the people who defended our treatment were being honest from their perspective. We had ac and the worst part was how hard the job was on your body there's certainly worse conditions even within the same warehouse. Those conditions were still awful. Their own basic decency was not respected. If someone tells you Amazon is treating them right, they're either coping, lying, or have never been treated well enough by a job to know that's just not true
Conservatism is the school of political thought where one believes they should be protected but not bound by law, and everyone else should be bound but not protected.
It’s basically a might makes right philosophy. They want the ability to oppress others, but if anyone ever gives them back their own medicine, then they’ll cry about it because they understand that their opponents play by different rules and are more respectful. Basically conservatives are like freeza from Dragon Ball Z.
I'm a bisexual Texan. I was never taught about sexuality, I grew up in a Catholic neighborhood and never talked about my attraction to men. I thought i was gay, because I only knew gay or straight. Since I thought I was gay, I wasn't sure how my mom, my dad, my brothers and sisters would react. I kept it in and hid it, I talked about it only at school because I had heard families disowning gay children and my homophobic classmates told me if they had gay children they'd beat or kill them and one deeply religious girl and her boyfriend condemned me to hell and called me slurs to my face, but I didn't mind losing friends as long as I didn't lose my family. I told some of my teachers and friends I trusted. Thankfully, none of them told my parents, but in my junior year I eventually told my mom and sisters on my own terms, they were accepting of me and my older brother learned eventually, but to this day I never told my dad. As a queer teen, I'm grateful I never got outed to my family until I was ready. I legit feared I'd lose them if they found out, but thankfully most of my family was accepting. However I know that isn't everyone and some people have legit fears of coming out especially to their family
I am an Air Force veteran and graduated High School in 2000. My family are very VERY evangelical Christians and my father would talk about when he was school if someone got caught “being gay” that they would beat the shot out of them. Also I grew up and saw the actions of the men who killed Matthew Shepherd. I say all of that because back when I was just a toddler maybe 5 or 6 I remember being in Sunday school and having a crush on a kid who was the same age and who I knew pretty well, but I didn’t know it was “bad” to have that crush. Fast forward to around 1994 and internally I knew I was gay but I’ve always struggled with that because I still am a Christian but apparently not a proper one anymore, anyways, I struggle because my whole family have seen me dress up in my younger sisters dresses and by the time I was a freshman in High school I knew that I was gay but also that god made me that way for a reason because I can definitely say that I was born gay. My sister knew and told me that she’d keep it a secret for me and that worked until all my friends and other classmates all knew without me having to say it out loud. My senior year I felt it was time to tell my mom and when I did she told me that I had two weeks to find a place of my own and that I had to move out. Since then we still talk and now my dad and younger brother know, even my grandparents knew but have been much more caring than my parents but to this day we have a rocky relationship because they want me to change and even though I tried being straight during high school, after high school, before the Air Force and after the Air Force I just felt like it was all a lie and that I wasn’t being me. I’m glad that the younger generations have benefited from the hard work that our activism has created but I really fear for the future. I Also glad that your family has been supportive towards you, it’s always nice to hear that.

Hey Phil, Amazon employee doing my 60 to get stuff out for prime day. I’m probably in the minority but the overtime days are really good for me because they help me pay down my student loans. I helped every process path in the building today except for stowing items into the pods. Honestly, my weeks been made significantly better by the fact that there’s a morning show. I wake up and I know that I have quality content. Which is good because when I wake up I have an hour on the road to get to work.

I used to work for one of the big four meat processing company. I can tell you that reporting was always delay because upper manager always believes that "we needed more information" before we report to similar organisation such as OSHA. By the time we get "all the information", it been 2-3 week since the incident we get "oh it's probbably too late to report". When do report, the safety staff suffer the grunt of the abuse from OSHA regularators for late reporting. While behind the scene, upper manager are only looking at output numbers and blaming the team for not "being safer".
I have an 8-Year-Old and live in Florida. So I’ve seen basically the opposite side of this recent California bill. I was shocked to see her school library missing 40% of its books post the Don’t Say Gay bill passing (and subsequent bills). At the beginning of her second grade year my wife and I had to write down every nickname she was allowed to be called at school and would need to provide written approval if she was going to be called by another name or identification. I’m her parent, not a cult leader who wants to control every aspect of her existence and identity. I certainly don’t care what nicknames her friends and teacher call her at school. The teachers are doing their best, but education is a mess in Florida right now.
Why are books targeted at 8 year olds mentioning sexuality in the first place??? What is with this push towards letting children read sexualised media?…
I grew up in Ohio and moved to Florida in the 2nd grade and then finished all the way to tech school here as well... And it's the same story middle school high school and college was "thank God I got out now" I got before the shooting and just before the education system took a deep dive. An example me was the financial aid lady at my tech school was just pocketing all the aid from the students 😬
Although I don't really agree with the way Destiny is going about it, I completely understand his vitriol. For years the right has been openly mocking political violence when it happens to anyone on the left. From the example of Paul Palosi shown on stream to Ryan Carson, 31 year old progressive activist was attacked and stabbed TO DEATH in New York last year. It's actually crazy to see the double standards online. The problem is the left holds their own side to a higher standard, while condemning the right for rolling in the mud. While on the other hand, the right hand waves the mud rolling and then condemns the left when they do anything even remotely out of line. It's a classic rules for thee but not for me situation. You can even see a classic example of this in the exact Piers video where Dave Rubin asks Destiny if he will condemn the violent actors in BLM to which Destiny replies yes, then he asks Dave if he'll condemn the violence at Jan6th to which Dave starts to try to make excuses. It happens in real. Time.
urgh my god it's so true, and whenever you point out the hypocrisy "it's just different" like no it's not it's just your people and you don't wanna admit it.
I fully agree with how he is going about this. It is exposing major hypocrisy. And he's doing it on a big platform, so there won't be a lot of ways for some folks to hide after this.
On destiny and others. Freedom of speech is freedom to offend and be offended. I don’t agree with what they said but it’s their actual right to say it.

I can sympathize with his feelings...but people should think more carefully before they say something imo.
Destiny is not saying anything I have not felt...but at the same time I have a filter and that means thinking beyond just a knee jerk feeling about what happens in politics.
It is not valid criticism to me to suggest that we should suspend our humanity for those we don't agree with politicality rather than point out how unnecessary it is that those we disagree should be made to suffer.

Thanks for talking about 988. As a Navy Vet I used this when I moved to Washington state 2 years ago and they expedited my ability to see a mental health provider when I needed it. The staff was really kind and let me just cry for awhile. Sometimes you just need to be heard. This is definitely a beneficial resource the VA actually needed. It’s worth every dime. I’m rehabilitated now. And thanks to those people I may not be here today.
I hope the 988 line goes well. In the UK we have 111 (press 2) which takes you to your local helpline that links you to the crisis team. When I had a PTSD episode a couple of weeks ago, I called our crisis line & they stayed on the phone with me for 2 hours, never swapping callers and talking me out of a frantic state that could have escalated to self injury.

I could tell she was working from home, juggling kids. I thanked her so much for hearing me and just being someone who understands. I thanked her for working as a first responder because I can imagine that the calls she gets all day aren't easy. We both got a little emotional with gratitude, and it kicked off an upward trend in my life. I've been doing so much better and I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to them if you need them, and if you end up getting a job as a first responder for 988, you're an absolute hero.
Thanks for sharing this with us. This sounds like such a sweet interaction. Glad go hear you're doing better 🤍
I'm glad you're doing better and I'm really glad the interaction went well for you, but the people who work for 988 are not trustworthy, they laugh about people once the phone call is over, as they did for me. I think it's dangerous to praise their organization when they did nothing to fix the problems that the national hotline has always had.
Thanks for sharing.
Your conversation partner sounds lovely, Im so happy you got what you needed too! Sometimes we just need to be seen, heard and understood, a lil bit help surviving the worst moments and reaching better headspace. This could be game-changer for seriously lonely people, who dont have regular contact to other humans. Awesome, I love that you have this option in the US too.
And because Im part of police accountability community and seen too many mental health codes end in unnecessary arrest, manhandling, permanent harm and even death, this service is so much better option and obviously so needed. Im going to spread 988 from now on thru our community, this needs more awareness! Im done seeing the videos I keep seeing, almost on daily basis. Much love for inspiring me :)
That’s so sweet! Glad to see some positive comments. I know I’m not making them 😅
I worked for a crisis hotline for about a year around 2017. We were a local center with our own number, but also took calls from the national line. I’d like to think that I helped a lot of people. We had several regulars who we helped keep going. This reminded though that last year I was talking to someone who had recently lost a friend to suicide. I shared my experience with the hotline and she proceeded to shit all over me. She told me that we were awful and never helped anyone. Maybe I shouldn’t take it so personally, but that hurt a lot. Maybe we couldn’t save everyone, but I’m glad that resources like that exist. The reason why I wanted to work there is because I needed their help at one point. There’s no real point to this story. I’m just venting into the void. But I hope that the crisis line gets the funding it needs and continues to get better and more accessible to everyone.
Even if you say there was no real point, thank you for sharing, and thank you for putting the time in to help. 💖
I came close to texting one of those numbers.
I’m glad they’re a resource given the world we live in now and lack of resources. It’s fucked and this wasn’t the America we were promised as kids.
Your story matters and that work mattered. Thanks for sharing.
Regarding that school bill, I went to high school in Indiana and was a member of the school's "Poetry Club." That's in quotes because even though we *did* create and share poetry, it also off-the-records served as a LGBT "safe space" and a mental health support group. The club was ran mostly by us students, while the teacher who "officially" ran the club sat in the back so anyone who needed an adult to talk to could go to her.
Unfortunately, the city's school board passed an ordinance that a teacher who learned *any* student was LGBT or was possibly dealing with mental health issues *must* report that information to both the dean and that student's parents or face being terminated. This effectively disbanded the club. Our teacher actually admitted to us that she would never "snitch" on us, but we knew that there would always be a chance someone would let the wrong person know she wasn't snitching and she would lose her job, so we all decided to shut the club down.
Damn, that’s fucked. But I commend the teacher. I would have done the same to protect the kids from me, which is a weird thing to say. That is so sad. It reminds me of the Throne of Glass series I’m reading through, where they don’t want to know each others secrets, knowing the king might use that against them and kill them, jail them, or send them to the demon king to be turned in to a monster. I’d rather my sweet students not get sold out, when I ultimately get sold out by my district.
I’m glad I’m not teaching anymore.

Definitely not agreeing on the choice of words from Destiny, but I think it's wild how he got banned from Kick (temporarily) for *that*, while they have no problem leaving Groomers and Predators not only on the plattform, but they're even followed/supported by staff and leadership.
and allow illegal activity to be shown
You can also make very similar remarks about the opposite political affiliation and you won't be banned.
Huge red flags. Really shows who the people who run kick support.

The only reason this factor has became news is cause of the words though isn’t it? If he had been traditionally calm and polite it wouldn’t have gone anywhere.

yes because people that said "i don't like trump" are getting fired and not people advocating or condoning murder.

I had a cousin come out as bi to her family, and her parent's response was to literally try to beat it out of her. I think the fact that there are kids who can't safely come out to their families is reason enough for them to have some protection of privacy. Many parents care more about how it affects their own perceived reputation as a parent, than the actual well-being of their child.
So well put and so important
I hope your cousin got somewhere safe and is okay.
Everyone wants to talk about "parents rights" but the thing is that "children's rights to be alive" is more important. But conservatives really don't seem to care.
@@rumpeltyltskyn I think that's the children vs youth rights conflict right there.
I spent my entire childhood and teen years terrified my parents would find out I am gay.

i dont think he cares about advertisers tbh
Or the convicted Australian he personally unbanned to let CP go on the site.

About the cosmetic story, I think it's important to note how dangerous these procedures are becoming. With the higher demand and lax regulations there are many people out there taking advantage and causing harm in the name of a quick buck.
Doctor Mike recently interviewed a young woman on his podcast who has been going through hell since getting some kind of injection a few years ago. She's been in and out of the hospital and on so many antibiotics they not only don't work anymore, but have caused more health problems.
I can only imagine we'll be hearing more and more stories like this.
As awkward as it feels, I agree with Destiny's take. I think his entire point is that he has no sympathy for people who are supporting a person (Trump) who tried to incite an insurrection of the country that he genuinely loves.
People are hyper-focusing on the fact that the guy who was shot is an "innocent firefighter", but for half of that description I imagine Destiny would not consider supporting an insurrectionist to be an innocent stance. I would personally add that someone's job does not absolve them from any immoral actions or statements. Many people in my family are or were firefighters, yet half of them were alcoholics, unfaithful to their wives, or physically and emotionally abusive (or all of the above). We've built some professions up over the years as paragons of virtue in our society, but we forget that the people working in those professions are not saints. They're normal people and they are just as fallible as the rest of us.
So while I don't necessarily agree with the way Destiny is going about it on Twitter, I completely understand the sentiment he has expressed on his own stream and on the Piers show. The conservative voices in media, especially alternative media, have been extremely antagonistic, violent, dehumanizing, and dishonest for the entirety of Trump's political timeline. Now they're finally seeing what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that kind of rhetoric and, surprise surprise, it doesn't feel good.
One other thing Destiny mentions is that the left has tried for so long to take the moral high ground and not resort to this kind of rhetoric or underhanded tactics. However, this has provided them with none of the benefits and all of the drawbacks. They are not motivating their voters to either vote for them or vote against they're opponents. Meanwhile, the high temp conservative rhetoric and sketchy tactics have given them all of benefits and none of the drawbacks. Look at January 6, the attack on Pelosi's husband, the culture war issues (transgender, crt, vaccines), etc. They will take zero responsibility for anything negative that came of the volatile rhetoric they employed on those topics, but were actually gleeful to reap the rewards, aka emotionally charged voters.
Ultimately, I think Destiny is tired of the hypocrisy from the right and is in a unique position where he is relatively insulated from the massive amount of pushback he'll get on this. I imagine the dude probably has enough money to stop streaming and chill out very comfortably for the rest of his life, but this topic obviously matters enough to him that he would risk all of it to speak his truth and his values. With all of that in mind, I don't think this is as crazy as people are making it out to be.

Absolutely. The hypocrisy is palpable.
As a mom of two I would like to know what gives me as a parent more rights than my children? Why should I get more rights to their lives than they do? No parent owns their children, nor do they own the rights to make their children live a life they choose. You can guide and advise and give your best ideas, most likely also having rules while they are young and need your experiential knowledge to stay safe, but ultimately they are their own person, not your property. It is also most likely that these parents whose kids aren't ready to talk to them come from household with strict judgements about different lifestyles from their own, and therefore these kids will keep this part away from their parents for as long as possible. It is also insane to expect teachers to step into these kinds of messes.

It’s very hypocritical that one side can “joke” and make disgusting comments while the other side is supposed to be held at a higher standard.

I am a teacher who came from an abusive home:
Parents of my students are important and included, but they are 3rd on my priority list. This list is based on distance from ME. 1st are students, 2nd is the school itself/other teachers and students/, and 3rd are parents.
I live in a rural area and had multiple students ask to act differently/call them a different name amongst their parents due to fear.
I am a parent of 3 myself, but I am also aware that many MANY students dont need their parents now, especially after they turn 18. My ultimate goal is to make them good adults by being able to make their own informed decisions. I want them to increase their own power, thats it.

As a former Amazon employee, I definitely believe those stats. Amazon doesn't really care about its employees. I worked in Fluid Load (which is loading the Semi), and almost every night someone went to wellness because a wall fell on them or some other injury. It wasn't till I was leaving that they changed the wall height requirement and the machines (which in my opinion the machines made it more dangerous). Also when I got hurt and a wall almost fell on me because they didn't train the employee correctly (which is in most cases), I had to beg them to report it! All in all, I'm happy to be out of that sweatshop!
Destiny cares more about showing others hypocrisy than bundling the message in a principle way. But his rudeness is getting his point being talked about.
He is not the Destiny we want, but he is the Destiny we all deserve.
Not really, one can talk about the situation without mocking a person who died.
I understand Destiny's anger over this and it's justified. Republicans, for years, have been pushing for this constantly but the moment someone, unabashedly, feels no sympathy for the thing they've been promoting...all of a sudden is awful and wrong. The anger is there, it's valid. What I would ask him to do, however, is to talk to non-political content creators about this. I think his biggest issue now is talking to people who'll bad faith the situation, people like Rubin who, as Phil pointed out, is complicit in the rhetoric. I'd like to see him talk to bigger content creators who aren't political but want to be educated on the subject on why the Republicans deserve no sympathy for this, especially since it was another Republican behind the whole thing.

The talk about parental rights in this case is insane. It's not about the rights of parents here, it's about teachers not being required by law to snitch on their students who talk to them about things in confidence. If a student can't talk to their parents or teachers they are going to be alienated for both. It's to protect kids and give them a safe place they can talk through issues before they might go to their parents. It also means that if a student wants to be called by a nickname to try new things then teachers have to tell their parents that "little Samantha in my class told me that she wants to go by Sam now" which is insane
Teachers as representatives of the State, do not have the right to keep information from parents pertaining to their children.
Parents are vested with the ability to exert the rights of their children until age of majority, but to do so must be aware of such to even do so. By allowing the State to hide activities, actions and information from parents you essentially gut the parents ability to do so.
Governments must be transparent as can be, but particularly in instances where they have direct control and supervision of minors. Your intent may be well placed, but your methodology is flawed and the ramifications thereof dire.
@@darklelouchg8505 Ok but parents do not have the right to circumvent their child's autonomy through mandates that information that their child chose not to share with them must be disclosed to them. Teachers are only mandated reporters when it comes to information that is harmful to the a child or to others in regards to a child. That does not include a child questioning their gender identity, which is not directly harmful to a child or others in regards to a child, such as them wanting to harm another child.
Parents right to act in the best interest of their child does not mean they have to know everything about their child at all times. Forced outing laws and practices only serve to strip children of their abilities to make decisions as to who they want to tell and when they want to tell things to. For instance a child tells their teacher they don't feel like a boy and would like to not be addressed as such is not an something a teacher has to report to parents. If the child wants their parents to know they will tell them. Also if teachers are agents of the government then why then do they have to report information of this nature to parents and not the state. It seems like people want teachers to be agents of parents in the classroom instead of doing their job and teaching.

I worked at the Amazon warehouse in Kansas City for over 2 years. It was hell there; the building was hot all year round. Managers refused to add more fans. Forced overtime, especially during the prime week and what they consider "Peak season." "Peak" is around 8 weeks, and my typical 4-day, 10-hour shift work week was changed to a 5-day, 11-hour work week. The rates they expect are crazy for one person to do, for example (600 items an hour in stow, 400 items an hour in pick, 200 items an hour in pack, 1200 items an hour in (can't remember what this one is called it's part of sort side in pack), 600 items per hour in sort.) Given all of this, I'm 100 percent not surprised by the report on Amazon. They could improve things by making sure the temperatures in the warehouse are bearable and by lowering the rate they expect. I can guarantee that most of the injuries that happen there are caused by trying to reach these high rates.

But you can condemn someone for what they said about someone else while you condemn what someone else has said. I don’t like Trump and it’s horrible that he was nearly assassinated and would never support that or condone it. But that doesn’t mean I can’t equally call out the hypocrisy of musk
@@RJLiams You're focusing on what you think is conserrvative hypocrisy when it's not. It's called deflecting. The story is Destiny rarndomly celebrated a dude getting assassinates and told otther Conserrvatives to get shot too... after prertending to be a good dude.
And there was no joking involved. Why don't you look for the hypocrisy there?????

I saw a Reddit post about someone who worked at a 988 call center. They said they had to deal with a lot of abuse from trolls and a severe lack of support from their employer. It’s incredibly concerning.

Re: the cosmetic procedure discussion. As a mid-30 year old woman I’m so glad I didn’t grow up with social media like today as a teenager. But also now that I’m mid 30’s and starting to see slight wrinkles appear, I didn’t realise how insecure it would make me feel. I’ve never had any procedures done, and have always hoped skincare would be enough, though my sensitive skin can’t handle products like retinol which is the main anti-aging ingredient. But aging people all around me, online and in film and tv have these procedures done. No one wants to look their age, they want to look younger because that’s seen as more attractive (according to online, film & tv, and maybe society?). And weirdly that has been affecting me more and more too. I can’t say I’ll never have any cosmetic procedures done like Botox but I still have no desire to get this done at the moment, I wonder how long it will take me to change my mind.
I’ve noticed that whenever I see an older woman on tv and she’s clearly had a cosmetic procedure and doesn’t look her age at all (though I always think they look beautiful), I feel sad. All I want to see are women that look like their age and are confident looking their age. But I do have to admit that this is the film & tv industry, I assume that they cast young looking women and if women look their age, maybe they have less of a chance to be cast. I start wondering if older actors on screen that have had procedures done, whether that’s because it makes them love themselves more and they feel confident or they felt they needed it to stay relevant in the industry is unclear to me.
Anyone else highly distracted during the ZocDoc ad worrying that someone was watching through the crack in the door?
If you are the last person to find out your child is trans (or gay or whatever), that is not a failing of the child or whoever else they've told. That is a failure of your parenting. Your child knows you can't be trusted, that you will not respond with love and respect. Then to try and make everyone else in your child's life that they DO trust, to try to force them to betray that trust...Yeah, you've proven the kid's original assessment.
Forgive me for not believing that someone who has named children X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus, actually gives a shit about what is best for his children in the first place.
None of the people on that panel have consistently shown the proper respect to victims of political violence, and they are all wrong for that, but there is still a difference.
Destiny doesn't demand respect for people he agrees with, so he's at least consistent. The other three are all happy to be disrespectful to people they disagree with, while demanding the utmost respect for their allies. There's no "winner" there, but at least Destiny isn't a hypocrite.

Thank you Phil, for talking about 988. I didn't even know it existed. After my son, Philip was killed a year ago I have often looked into getting help, but never have because of issues with my health insurance, and wait times. I don't even have insurance now, and figured I had no options at all. 😢

Regarding the Bangladesh protests story:
As a Bangladeshi, I really appreciate you covering this story. This is unlike most other protests in the nation's past: this generation of Bangladeshis are children of the internet. They've seen the world from their rooms, and they know that other nations wouldn't stand for baised ruling.
These quotas do have some merits, but the way they're structured are highly outdated.
I hope that my county's students make it through. 🇧🇩
i think why have quotas for women, minorities and disabled? at least have a meritorious quota, someones whos ancestors were not cowards
The key thing is a lot of these kids protesting isn't even about the jobs themselves. the "freedom fighter" quota has always been used to sneak in whoever the fuck pays the most cause getting that certificate is a piece of cake as long as you have money but hell incarnate if you wanna do it the legal way. I had 2 uncles (who have sadly passed away) who were freedom fighters and only after my mom used her own government connections as a tax officer did my 2nd uncles kids finally get their certificate (They previously didn't get the certificate cause my uncles didn't want them as evryone knew who they were and they wanted the needy to get them as it was originally intended for)

I did a report on Amazon's working conditions back in December of 2021, actually getting a chance to speak to and interview certain Amazon warehouse workers that I knew on the condition of anonymity.
What I found was mildly horrifying.
You're basically being worked to the bone in shitty warehouses where there might not even be working air conditioning, your location would be tracked via armbands and you were expected to keep working and only take a handful of breaks.
In short, days in the warehouse were described by basically everyone I spoke to as being extremely boring yet extremely chaotic and stressful all at once.
To quote one of the people I spoke to: "The job sucks, but it puts food on the table if you can put up with it. Otherwise, they're always hiring the next person available due to the high turnover."
My spouse worked at Amazon for 6 years and this is exactly what he described it as. He said they literally build in turnover as part of everything, they know what they're doing to people and they do not give a single shit.
There were articles about Amazon just running out of people in certain areas due to turnover, its insane
'mildly horrifying' sounds like an amazing contradiction.
I worked out of the Fernley, NV warehouse back in 2011 as a contractor.
I was placed on medical leave for stress injuries to both of my knees. While on leave I was laid off.
They then called me a few weeks later and asked if I was showing up for my shift. I had been homeless for ~5 years prior to this and told them I thought I was laid off but if not I'll be there the next day. They said they'd look into it and followup.
Every day for a week they called back asking me if I was showing up. Every day I responded the same way. It was never cleared up.
What I found wild when I briefly worked there was coworkers who would defend Amazon conditions.
I was working in the same situation as them. I've worked other factory jobs. I'm sure on some level the people who defended our treatment were being honest from their perspective. We had ac and the worst part was how hard the job was on your body there's certainly worse conditions even within the same warehouse.
Those conditions were still awful. Their own basic decency was not respected.
If someone tells you Amazon is treating them right, they're either coping, lying, or have never been treated well enough by a job to know that's just not true
Love that Jimmy is going to see king gizzard!!!! Since learning of them I've been mentioning them everywhere
10AM Pacifc - 7AM Eastern? Yeah...sure thing Phil. I'll catch your show in the upside-down, I guess.
Conservatism is the school of political thought where one believes they should be protected but not bound by law, and everyone else should be bound but not protected.
lol uhmmmmm okay
It’s basically a might makes right philosophy. They want the ability to oppress others, but if anyone ever gives them back their own medicine, then they’ll cry about it because they understand that their opponents play by different rules and are more respectful. Basically conservatives are like freeza from Dragon Ball Z.
rules for thee but not for meeeeeeeee
I'm gonna be a little pedantic here. That's not conservatism, that's fascism. The law protects the in group and is used against the out group
Yeah that's what conservatives have been going for without saying it reminds me of a group that practiced fascism while saying they were socialist
I'm a bisexual Texan.
I was never taught about sexuality, I grew up in a Catholic neighborhood and never talked about my attraction to men. I thought i was gay, because I only knew gay or straight. Since I thought I was gay, I wasn't sure how my mom, my dad, my brothers and sisters would react. I kept it in and hid it, I talked about it only at school because I had heard families disowning gay children and my homophobic classmates told me if they had gay children they'd beat or kill them and one deeply religious girl and her boyfriend condemned me to hell and called me slurs to my face, but I didn't mind losing friends as long as I didn't lose my family. I told some of my teachers and friends I trusted. Thankfully, none of them told my parents, but in my junior year I eventually told my mom and sisters on my own terms, they were accepting of me and my older brother learned eventually, but to this day I never told my dad.
As a queer teen, I'm grateful I never got outed to my family until I was ready. I legit feared I'd lose them if they found out, but thankfully most of my family was accepting. However I know that isn't everyone and some people have legit fears of coming out especially to their family
I am an Air Force veteran and graduated High School in 2000. My family are very VERY evangelical Christians and my father would talk about when he was school if someone got caught “being gay” that they would beat the shot out of them. Also I grew up and saw the actions of the men who killed Matthew Shepherd. I say all of that because back when I was just a toddler maybe 5 or 6 I remember being in Sunday school and having a crush on a kid who was the same age and who I knew pretty well, but I didn’t know it was “bad” to have that crush. Fast forward to around 1994 and internally I knew I was gay but I’ve always struggled with that because I still am a Christian but apparently not a proper one anymore, anyways, I struggle because my whole family have seen me dress up in my younger sisters dresses and by the time I was a freshman in High school I knew that I was gay but also that god made me that way for a reason because I can definitely say that I was born gay. My sister knew and told me that she’d keep it a secret for me and that worked until all my friends and other classmates all knew without me having to say it out loud. My senior year I felt it was time to tell my mom and when I did she told me that I had two weeks to find a place of my own and that I had to move out. Since then we still talk and now my dad and younger brother know, even my grandparents knew but have been much more caring than my parents but to this day we have a rocky relationship because they want me to change and even though I tried being straight during high school, after high school, before the Air Force and after the Air Force I just felt like it was all a lie and that I wasn’t being me. I’m glad that the younger generations have benefited from the hard work that our activism has created but I really fear for the future. I
Also glad that your family has been supportive towards you, it’s always nice to hear that.

Facts
I used to work for one of the big four meat processing company. I can tell you that reporting was always delay because upper manager always believes that "we needed more information" before we report to similar organisation such as OSHA. By the time we get "all the information", it been 2-3 week since the incident we get "oh it's probbably too late to report". When do report, the safety staff suffer the grunt of the abuse from OSHA regularators for late reporting. While behind the scene, upper manager are only looking at output numbers and blaming the team for not "being safer".
the first row tickets at the rally bit made me laugh out loud at work.
I have an 8-Year-Old and live in Florida. So I’ve seen basically the opposite side of this recent California bill. I was shocked to see her school library missing 40% of its books post the Don’t Say Gay bill passing (and subsequent bills). At the beginning of her second grade year my wife and I had to write down every nickname she was allowed to be called at school and would need to provide written approval if she was going to be called by another name or identification.
I’m her parent, not a cult leader who wants to control every aspect of her existence and identity. I certainly don’t care what nicknames her friends and teacher call her at school. The teachers are doing their best, but education is a mess in Florida right now.
My wife and I wanna have kids soon but this makes me kind of scared too.
That nickname thing is WILD
Why are books targeted at 8 year olds mentioning sexuality in the first place???
What is with this push towards letting children read sexualised media?…
@@ducksquidbat8315is it actually sexualized media or are there books with 2 boys to 2 girls kissing? Or a trans kid existing in a book? Be honest now.
I grew up in Ohio and moved to Florida in the 2nd grade and then finished all the way to tech school here as well... And it's the same story middle school high school and college was "thank God I got out now" I got before the shooting and just before the education system took a deep dive. An example me was the financial aid lady at my tech school was just pocketing all the aid from the students 😬
Destiny is right.
I'm not sure how I can add to this without getting censored by UA-cam....
Maybe the fact that I would be censored says everything already lol.
I don't agree with destiny much but I agree that the right is so hypocritical here.
Nazi Santa ISN'T REAL HE CAN'T HARM ME!
That's wild! I just started listening to King gizzard and the lizard wizard today
Although I don't really agree with the way Destiny is going about it, I completely understand his vitriol. For years the right has been openly mocking political violence when it happens to anyone on the left. From the example of Paul Palosi shown on stream to Ryan Carson, 31 year old progressive activist was attacked and stabbed TO DEATH in New York last year. It's actually crazy to see the double standards online. The problem is the left holds their own side to a higher standard, while condemning the right for rolling in the mud. While on the other hand, the right hand waves the mud rolling and then condemns the left when they do anything even remotely out of line. It's a classic rules for thee but not for me situation.
You can even see a classic example of this in the exact Piers video where Dave Rubin asks Destiny if he will condemn the violent actors in BLM to which Destiny replies yes, then he asks Dave if he'll condemn the violence at Jan6th to which Dave starts to try to make excuses. It happens in real. Time.
This is so true! 💯
You seem to forget that the left has been doing this to the right a lot, too. It all just has to fucking stop.
urgh my god it's so true, and whenever you point out the hypocrisy "it's just different" like no it's not it's just your people and you don't wanna admit it.
100%. Like, I hate Destiny from most of what I've seen from him, but this is the most I've ever seen myself agreeing with him in my entire life.
I fully agree with how he is going about this. It is exposing major hypocrisy. And he's doing it on a big platform, so there won't be a lot of ways for some folks to hide after this.
On destiny and others. Freedom of speech is freedom to offend and be offended. I don’t agree with what they said but it’s their actual right to say it.
I am so glad that you talked about Chino Valley Unified. What the school board has been doing is horrendous. I hope you cover more about them in the future. It’s a never ending battle with them.
