https://youtu.be/J5wuB_p63YM Total video time: 13:59 Description: A young Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault discuss justice vs. power in society. Why it’s worthy of AH coverage: The idea that this was at one point something that could be viewed by a mass audience on television and the unlikely possibility of ever seeing such intelligent long-form philosophical discourse on said television medium ever again makes me want to abandon hope in humanity every time I rewatch the video on YouTube. Furthermore, with the death of Chomsky likely not being too far into the future, it feels bittersweet to see him in his prime along with a now long since dead Foucault engaging in an intellectual sparring match for which Foucault was allegedly paid in hashish. Also, I would like to hear TJ’s musings on the subject as I believe he has the mental capacity to weigh in on the discussion between these intellectual giants.

Go fuck ya mudda.

https://youtu.be/GBeCmbKiY0Y This is actually a cooking video on tortillas, but the creator of it is actually using it as an opportunity to talk about cultural appropriation, so you may want to skip to near the end of the video when he talks about that. He talks about how the creator of taco bell would take tacos from a nearby Mexican restaurant, deconstruct and study them so he could make his own, starting his successful fast food chain with them. The creator of the video makes some statements in the video about white privilege and cultural appropriation that I find questionable. I want to see how much you agree and disagree with him

https://youtu.be/QZDRgLKh9is don’t know if someone already shared this. This video is of Bernie going off on the senate about their bitching about adding unemployment benefits to the stimulus bill. The reason this should be included in AH is because of the fact that people feel the need to constantly shit on poor people and those who are down and out and Bernie is basically the only one calling them out on it. After discussing this with my family who all seem to think people who are on unemployment are lazy pieces of shit, I’m about fucking ready to abandon hope, abandon the family group chat and go live in a cave somewhere. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

British Prime-minister Boris Johnson comes down with the virus. Straightforward, self-explanatory little story to tack on. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52060791 Bare in mind prior to contracting the virus he was asked in an interview how he would respond in the event that he should catch it. All he said was, "I'm washing my hands". I'll post that link here too if I can find the story.

Hey TJ, did you ever get a chance to talk about "controversial" topics with your parents such as politics or religioun (foster and/or biological parents, including your late father before he succumbed to illness) and if so, could you please describe how those kind of conversations went and hopefully give us some juicy stories? For me personally, I grew up with parents who didn't really espouse any religion (in my home country there's a mix of buddhists and christians) until when I was in high school and my mother had a midlife crisis, she started going to church with one of her friends, converted to christianity, and then began trying to convert everyone else in our family, including me (it went as well as you can imagine :D) Thanks and stay safe!

So this is Destiny reacting to one of secular talk's videos. He's pretty much gone unopposed with these ideas, and I would love it if you tore him down.

Kaleb Musgrave

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/amazon-donations-sick-leave/ I could barely find any information on it. Essentially Amazon started a fund to pay for their worker's sick leave if they contracted the virus and even chipped in $25 million to get it started, but also asked for donations from everyday people, probably as a means to recoup that initial donation. Could be nothing, but after public backlash they've changed their stance and are saying they weren't ever asking for donations from the public. I just find it funny that one of the most profitable companies in the world, run by the actual richest man in the world, is asking for other people's money.

I’m just writing this to help you out. I’ve been a fan of TJ’s for a while, and he will never ever cover a story from the NC unless he feels like he doesn’t have a choice (like the infamous #changethechannel controversy). I’ve (and a few others) have poked fun at him for not covering NCs Pink Floyd’s the Wall Review or for not reviewing one of Doug Walkers terrible movies. If you want TJ to cover a Movie Persona, make sure it has very little to do with NC, AVGN or their close group. I would love for him to critique some of these personalities the same way he goes after Ben Shapiro. But it’s a fools wish at this point.

Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade speaks out. 1:45 to 9:45 for the harassment story. 14:30 to 17:35 for Time’s Up refusal to help her. https://youtu.be/ZmVUQ7ii3_4 Former staffer for Joe Biden Tara Reade recounts her experience from the 1990s with then-Senator Joe Biden including inappropriate touching, and her denial of legal resources from the #MeToo organization Time's Up. I saw this was trending on Twitter this morning, but it has not received any mainstream coverage.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6YP1l39PjO8 This is a PragerU video about “Why young people are unhappy”. Dennis Prager quickly glosses over a few common explanations, and then arrives at his contentions: It’s because of a loss of “values” and “meaning”. I’m sure you can predict where this goes, and I’m positive that you’ll find his unsubstantiated blanket statements as ridiculous as I did.

Hypnotic Visionaire

https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2020/3/26/1931634/-Joe-Biden-Accused-of-Sexual-Assault-by-Former-Staffer Also, this one goes without saying. Joe Biden is accused of Sexual Assault and nobody is covering it. I know that you have a slight difference in opinion when it comes to sexual assault allegations than most people, but it is strange that the MSM isn’t covering this story. If you want a Video, both Kyle Kulinski & Krystal Ball from The Hill covered this story, though they were so detailed that I find it hard that you would come up with any new take from those videos. But Biden Bashing is part of your identity. And as much as I think your love for Bernie is misplaced, I love seeing you tear down this political tick every time you bring him up. So let’s continue with the shit show.....

Hypnotic Visionaire

https://youtu.be/tNflR2Ia7Hc If you are alright with covering the Corona-Crisis, here is a clip from Tucker Carlson blaming local leaders for the spread of the outbreak (not trump). He is basically cherry-picking examples from his enemies saying there’s no need to fear, and we do have to admit that some Liberals In NYC did not take it super seriously. But the fact of the matter is that nobody took it seriously, and these are local leaders, not executive branch officials who knew better. Tucker Carlson is trying to shift blame. But in my opinion he isn’t doing a great job. Keep in mind that every clip was from February 2nd, long before the virus came into the rest of the world. GOP senators were downplaying the Virus as late as March 15th. I think our knowledge will help dispel this dishonest double standard. Were there people who didn’t take it seriously in early Feb. Of course, but there is a difference between early Feb & Mid-March. I guarantee that all of these people Tucker shows have changed their minds by this point.

Also, if it interests you, what do you think about the sexual assault allegations against Biden? The mainstream media hasn’t been covering it, but it’s been blowing up on Twitter. A lot of dems online are gaslighting people in their own party who so much as want to look into it. This Vox article explains it better.

https://youtu.be/xLV8iupYyxQ Here's a guy I've been wanting to hear your views on this guy's ideas about race and culture for a while. He has some pretty radical views, saying how we should bring back segregationism. It's a 12 minute video and I just wanna hear your take on it and see if you agree or disagree. Also I feel like it deviates from the typical "crazy fuck ramble" that you get suggested constantly, he's a pretty good communicator and knows how to make a good argument. So if you want a challenge, go watch him.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pmGL8NQ519Q&list=PLBqJnrb8d2q9w8epfcyvBVxlDATVvnnCp&index=2&t=0s The video is only 9 minutes long but you can play it at double speed. Essentially philosopher Peter Sjöstedt talks about his philosophy which he refers to as neo-nihilism. He outlines the differences between descriptive and prescriptive ethics, and goes into a dissection of utilatiranism, humanism, etc. He even goes as dar as to say that human rights don't really exist. Interested to hear your thoughts (you picky little bitch).
