Any chance that abandon hope can get an audio release? I love the video but when I’m at work I have to just listen to audio, thanks for the content guys!

Hey, that thing Sargon said about AOC sounding like Hitler would've made a lot of sense if a democrat had been the one to cause the riot -_-

You uhhh... You know that Marx' and Engels' original thesis was that capitalism evolves into socialism naturally anyway, right? Like, that idea isn't new...

Whatever happened to Sargon of Akab? I can't believe I actually took him seriously for a short while back in 2017.

I've been watching for about 11 years now, and I, for one, think you're steadily getting better as a performer. Consistently entertaining and funny throughout and with some powerful rants here, and for almost 4 hours all by yourself. To be honest it's pretty impressive. We don't agree on almost anything except for the rich elites and minecraft situation, but I think that's the only thing that should matter for now until it's resolved.

Ben Shapiro is forced birth and as a women that utterly disgusts me. I can't wait for science to get to the point that we can force Ben to give birth. I will stand in line and pay tickets to see that fucker go through that.

The anti capitalism is anti vegan video is perfect for AH. Plz watch it next time or make it a AA video.

NO NO NO! Don't say socialism! Conservatives brains shut off when they hear that word!

Dick McPenis

"What can capitalism be blamed for"? Maybe you right wing mindless drones use your fucking brains for once, you'd see problems all over

NOAH EARTHLING

ben straight up left out like half of the plot of arrival. the reason the woman had to have her kid was that the aliens needed to give us their abilities and tools in order to save them in the future.

On the Ben Shapiro video, as far as heroes and villains having opposing values in stories, how does he just equate heroic values to conservatism? There’s an entire class of villains that are ultra capitalistic like in the Lorax or plenty of heroes that fight for change in an oppressive system like in Odd World, or ones that have an environmentalist message. There are so many hero and villain dynamics that those titles are inherently vague depending on the context of the story, I can’t equate heroism to progressivism any more than he can equate it to conservatism. Now you could argue certain villains are done poorly or that depending on the lore of a story or franchise conservatism can be viewed as heroic and progressivism as villainous, but those are more specific than just “heroes have values so they’re conservative”. He cites the Hero’s Journey/Cycle so he himself knows how much of a vague template it is, whether it’s done well or poorly, but it’s a very by the numbers formula.

tj I like your commentaries on the same videos that Vaush has already covered already because I find your commentaries much more entertaining and usually more interesting.
