Gave this thing a try, but unhinged moderation killed it for me. Peace.

  • Thing is that’s not what it means, because the impactful part of this “backlash” wasn’t people just voting with their own wallets. Instead it was them going into stores and throwing displays around and being generally unpleasant at best and calling in bomb threats at worst.

    It’s the same thing as those out of state Boston white nationalist “protestors” and those dumb Cunts for the Confederacy idiots trolling school boards. Most of them aren’t actually local participants and they drive or bus in to disrupt shit and appear much more local and larger than they are. In reality they’re from all over the place and you only have a small handful of them making a stink.


  • Let’s not mince words. It wasn’t backlash, it was domestic terrorists calling in bomb threats and throwing physical temper tantrums inside their stores and scaring people and companies into what they wanted. Which they kind of got, so we’re definitely going to see more of this.

    Again, if you’re a minority, arm the fuck up and learn how to be safe. These people don’t want you to exist.












  • Domestic terrorism.

    If you’re in one of the minority groups that’s under a higher risk of being targeted by right wing terrorists, please consider arming yourself because it doesn’t look like this is going to go away in the coming years. Learn how to safely handle and use firearms and try to learn how to spot when you’re in a dangerous situation.

    Not to incite fear or panic into anyone, but these people don’t want you to exist around them, that’s just a simple fact. Your mere existence makes them uncomfortable at best and they’re getting more and more bold. Be careful out there.




  • Translation:

    Occupiers lined up for educational shooting (shooting practice)

    Their classroom.

    18 potential targets for HIMARS

    While waiting for the HIMARS missile impact, the UAV came under enemy radio electronic warfare, due to which it was not possible to record the moment of the impact.

    8 enemies killed, 4 more wounded

    The rest of the occupiers drove a car to escape the affected area

    They still believe they have a chance to escape

    The surviving occupiers hid in the classroom, but you can’t just escape HIMARS this easily.

    Thanks to everyone who reports information about the enemy

    I don’t think that’s a reasonable take on all of this, personally. I’m definitely not going to defend his bad actions, and like I said there should be consequences to the things he’s done and I would like to see him knocked down a notch, but I don’t see him as a horrible person.

    Burn it all to the ground really isn’t a rational answer here, nobody just shuts down a business they and their family and friends have worked at for over a decade because there are bumps on the road. That’s just not how business works.

    Honestly, props to Linus for staying with it.

    I mean he doesn’t really have a choice, and while he’s not the CEO anymore, it’s his and his wife’s company and they will do anything to try to keep it going. This is a logical step and shutting it down would likely doom the business.

    Like one dude on YouTube is talking bout how he should have his kids taken away for this.

    That’s an insane take for sure, but you always filter out the extremes when it comes to things like this, but what LTT did with Billet Lab’s prototype is pretty abhorrent and they should absolutely try to sue. I’m not really one for drama, but it’s interesting to see how people online are interpreting this whole thing and just how many people call this “LMG’s downfall” or think that this will seriously negatively impact them in the long run.

    I was a fan of their stuff for years and enjoy having the WAN show in the background, but some of this stuff is pretty egregious and it would be good to have Linus be cut down and humbled a bit, his attitude and approach to a lot of things just fucking sucks. I’m personally taking a pause from their channel for some time, there’s no shortage of other stuff to watch and listen to online. Oh well.

    There are also some more serious allegations against LTT coming out from at least one former employee (Madison).
