  • It feels like a bit of ‘old internet’ died with him, where he’s always been an internet optimist and someone who has lived through basically all of it. He stuck to his principles through all of it. And I guess that has become a rarified breed.

    Him taking a step back feels like a bit of that old internet of the curiosity, community and creativity of the early days of the internet go with him. Mind you he’s not going anywhere except the people he cares about and I completely understand the choice he made, and I only wish the best for him, so this is just me attempting to explain why it feels so confronting and kind of sad. For me it goes beyond ‘oh there just won’t be anymore of those videos then’, which I can live with although it would be sad to see those go. It’s his personality that has, through the entire history of youtube and the many, many changes it went through, stuck to the principles of its first ever users. Be curious, be authentic, and generally just try shit out and see if it works.

    I’m sure that core of the personality he showed on screen will never really go away, other people will carry that torch. But it’s ok to be a little sad to see someone wave off like this. It shows us all how much we enjoyed it all these years.

    Also as a MINOR sidenote on the meme, he never refused to explain, you couldn’t stop this man from explaining if you tried lol







  • Kaag refused to help a woman with a sexual harrassment case against one of Kaag’s confidants, going so far as ignoring an independent inquiry into the matter that stated that the case was credible. She covered for her friend for months until the story broke.

    Also, this is just kind of funny but it goes to show how deeply out of touch she is. When asked what challenges she had faced as a woman, she talked about the very difficult decision she had to make between two top-tier private universities. Really had it tough there huh. Really a struggle of the working woman. Boy howdy.

    And Rutte. My god. This man is the source of so much evil, I can’t even begin to describe it. He broke our social security down and we will likely never build it up again. The poor are poorer and the netherlands is now a tax haven for the rich. Fuck Rutte. Every word out of his mouth is a blight upon this land. I spit on his legacy.

    Also, didn’t Sturgeon commit like some serious fraud?
