I've kept them aside and will try again for the 1k sub special because there weren't enough for a full video if I'm honest... 😥 At the rate things are going we'll hit the first 1k subs in what? 3 months? 😂

@TheSebbyHour hell yeah, brother. Pray to woke Jesus you'll reach there within a month 🙏🏼

At the rate at which the "Reacting to Shit Americans Say" video is going... I don't even know. It's now at 1.5k views a day and only accelerating... I got 42 comments on my channel today, it's literally taking hours of my day to answer everyone 😂😂😂

@@TheSebbyHour hey, thats amazing. my channel has been growing a lot too, and ive been working with a lot of people too. i know that feeling you're experiencing. your channel is awesome and its due time that you blow up already

It was so obvious that they'd misunderstood the entire concept that I didn't feel like it needed extra illustration on my part. I just laugh at it and then talk about the point that person was actually trying to make 😅 I also preface it with "This has to be a joke, it's so funny" because of how ridiculous a comeback it is 😊

😂😂😂

👀🥴

Hahahaha 😂😂😂 Very possible, there's a McDonald's just down the road from the Burger King in question 😂

I can't get demonetised yet because I'm not eligible to monetisation, BUT... I didn't want to get a strike on the video which is why I avoided saying that one, but yes 👀

It's important, how would they know what aubergine means? They need a menu that says eggplant! 😂

This video has the highest proportion of dislikes of my whole channel, that says a lot to me 😂 Ironically, all I do in this song is call for acceptance, charity and love. Some people just don't like that I guess 😅

@@TheSebbyHour I think a lot of it is kind of just rage bait. People see the thumbnail and title, and jump in raring to harp on "woke liberalist agenda", and don't take the time to actually listen or think about it

But then I did know that would be a thing when I posted this... Part of the reason is I wanted the algorithm to recommend it to people with more conservative, even going into alt-right political views. It's easy to post a video and target it at people who agree with you and will tell you how clever you are... But it also would null the whole point of this song in my opinion 😅 If only one person listens to it and thinks about how it might affect their views, despite not even necessarily agreeing with it, then I'll be happy. 😊

@@TheSebbyHour Yeah, it makes sense, and even as unlikely as it is to actually change people's minds on things like this, I fully believe that it's still worth it to try. Because it's not quite as unlikely as people assume, and if no one tries, change will never actually happen.

I also think that alt-right views have utterly inundated discourse online and is turning many normal people into quite hateful and bitter people... I just want the other side to have a bit of a say as well. I'm tired of woke being used as an insult to discredit certain people's views... It should literally be a compliment... When did caring, empathy and plain acceptance become associated with weakness and being "woke"? If anything, I think it's more difficult to stand up and fight for your values and for respect, even when you're not directly and personally being threatened, than it is to lean on individualism and moral superiority. *Tldr:* the way the world is going politically terrifies me at the moment, so I wrote a funny song.

Not in any grammatically correct way, but yes, it could be misconstrued as "Jesus has awoken" 😂😂😂

@@TheSebbyHour I mean, woke in the modern sense has a history of not being grammatically correct, anyway. I mean, the original meaning of saying "I'm woke" essentially meant "I've woken up", which is essentially the same meaning as the one I was joking about. Of course, I don't think people will read it that way, I just thought it was kind of funny to think about it that way

It would be funny if someone angrily commented "He hasn't woken, he died!" and just entirely missed the point 😂

@@TheSebbyHour Yeah lol. Or even funnier, is if they only looked at the thumbnail, thought it was a song about how "Jesus rose from the dead for sins", and left a super affirming comment thinking that you're a conservative Christian lol. I wouldn't put it past modern attention spans tbh

Thank you for your comment, it's very detailed 😄 I understand where the hyphenation of two nations comes from, my main criticism is more of people who go on the internet (or even into the world) and call themselves Irish, Italian (or any other nationality) and speak up on behalf of that group, despite actually being 100% American, but with some distant heritage. I also think it strange that they love their country which is allegedly the greatest in world, yet feel the need to complete their nationality with a heritage that, let's face it, most of them have little to no connection to... As for Latin, I get that many languages fall under the umbrella of being "Latin languages", but I'm pretty sure the job post in question was looking for a native Latin speaker. Either a misuse of the language and very vague (are you looking for french, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian?...) or just really odd seeing as Latin in itself is a dead tongue. 😅

I also saw it as that but didn't want to risk a strike or an age restriction on the video 😂 I'm not eligible for monetisation yet so the policy doesn't affect me for now

I've just woken up to two massive comments on essentially this same topic, reading time! 😂 It is true that I simplify the situation in this video, but it is fundamentally a funny little poking fun video.... not a sociological study of the US and its populations 😂 My main criticism of this situation is that a lot of Irish-Americans or Italian-Americans, etc; often claim that nationality when they go out on the internet or into the world and speak up on behalf of "Italians" or "Irish people" as if they didn't even realise that there was a country beyond their own little bit of heritage... I get how diverse America is as a country and how many little sub cultures exist there, but I think that if you're going to claim a culture in your identity you should at least know a bit about it... And obviously I only speak based on the examples I've seen, but a lot of the time it seems Italian-Americans use that label because they have black hair, a New York accent and look like they're in the mafia. It often seems like exaggerations of one or two cliché traits of a culture. Again, I don't know that much about it at the end of the day, I'm simply poking fun at the arrogance of it. 😊

@@TheSebbyHour It's possible that the other massive comment was also mine lol. I did write another one after this, in reply to someone else's comment, wording things differently and adding a few other thoughts I hadn't elaborated on here. But yeah, I agree. I think the vocal ones, and the ones you see pointed out on social media, are the ignorant people who don't share much of the culture and don't know that there's a difference. And they are understandably made fun of for that. But you did ask for someone to explain it, so that's largely why I made the comment. Also because I literally had this realization while watching your video, and I was kind of working through it and thinking about it through writing the comment(s). I equally don't know much about it at the end of the day, and am largely extrapolating based off of some broad first-hand observations about American culture and depictions in the media.

Genuine question to @peterlewis2178 Why does it matter that they have a different culture? Most European countries ,especially the UK, also have a population made of migrants; the tendency in the past has been a happy assimilation ,only recently have people of a specific religion refused to do so.

I'll let @peterlewis2178 give their own answer, but I feel the need to touch on the last bit of your comment. I have hardly ever seen people from different cultures or religions refuse to incorporate into society, in England as much as in France... It is very common for people of immigrant backgrounds to group together (and always has been) because it's simply a comfort. You often see all the Brits living in France grouped together in the same neighbourhoods for instance. I don't think this has changed recently in itself, I think it has simply been demonised by both a sensationalist media landscape and an increasingly right-wing and even populist political skew in the modern world at the moment... 😕

@@Jill-mh2wn Take this with a grain of salt, since I'm not in any of those communities myself (I've got strong Dutch ancestry, but enough removed that I don't personally identify with it much). A lot of the people immigrating to the US were fleeing some degree of persecution. That already says something about how the immigrants valued their culture, if they were willing to flee to a foreign country rather than just assimilate (if an option). Then, on top of that, they often faced discrimination and ostracization once they arrived in the US, which likely sort of forced them to retain and build their own distinct culture. As to why it matters that they have a different culture, it matters because it helps to validate them as people. If no one recognizes their culture, then they're left feeling ostracized, treated as if they're just Americans, while simultaneously having clear cultural differences from other Americans. It's not that any one culture is better, it's that the different cultures exist, and recognizing that is just the decent thing to do. Also, I do take strong contention with the claim that "the tendency in the past has been a happy assimilation". For one, have you not heard of the Spanish Inquisition? Thousands of people were murdered for not assimilating well enough to the Catholic faith. Also, the crusades? Yeah, those aren't strictly in Europe, but still. And even more to the point, the original US colonies were largely founded by Protestants fleeing Britain so they could have religious freedom. Assimilation has never been a peaceful process.

I highly suspect it's a troll.

@@EvanEdwards Yeah, definitely possible. It also could have been 2 different people, the first one being British, and the second being American.

I mean, it can mean all three. Just some of those carry more weight than others 😂

I wonder how many places AI is already being used to do things we have no idea about...

What are you hinting at exactly?

​@@TheSebbyHour😂😂 it's a simple question are you gonna make a song about Mohammed?

Not this week, that's for sure. My songs revolve around things that were said in my other videos. So far there has been one on insecure men and this one. You can play innocent but the subtext of your question remains quite apparent and quite distasteful. Did you listen to the song before commenting?

​@@TheSebbyHour man I can't wait to hear it and no need to get pressed I only asked a question lol

FaKt, with a capital K 😉

Yeah, it's a bit unclear. But basically the video I hold up to the screen has narration in it, but it's drowned out by the music. They then reposted the same Tiktok with fixed audio but didn't remove the original one 😂

The entire song is in reply to one particular person 😉 Full version (and context) is in this video: ruclips.net/video/d0tGp3hCGvM/видео.htmlsi=60rHIMAwQ2wMeRCe

Hahaha, I won't call you a USian, promised! (Although you do claim the whole continent as your nationality name 😂) I love the "use their outdoor voices indoors" 😂 Even our outdoor voices are quieter than some tourists I've come across. But if it can serve to reassure you, Brits abroad are also a nightmare! 🫠

I think it's mostly due to consumers wanting to eat tomatoes year round but somehow also wanting them grown locally 😅

It's a result of multiple factors, the main one being targeted breeding to get tomatoes that don't damage in transit and that keep longer in supermarkets 🥲

Sometimes feels like that's how our politicians see the world too... Those who agree with me and abnormal people. 😅

Thank you, glad to have given you a bit of joy! 😄

The song's underlying message is to accept others, even if they are different from you and to be loving and respectful of everyone. I make this point by saying that Jesus is "woke" because certain political groups have been weaponising the word "woke" against certain groups of people to invalidate their arguments. I use the definition of woke that is to be "alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination". This annoys certain people who see woke as being an insult. Hope this answers your question 😊

@@TheSebbyHour Excellent answer 🥰

This comment has made my day. You have completely grasped the point of this song. Whatever beliefs you may have, whatever God you worship, give love and caring to others; that's all I wanted to say. Thank you for your comment ❤️

So, according to you, Jesus / God are not "alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination." That's the dictionary definition of woke. Also... You should probably capitalise the name of your all knowing, all powerful, all loving creator... He is not a god, he is God. 👉 Exodus 20:3-5

@TheSebbyHour capitalization doesn't matter, the social issues god approaches are not that of your so called "wokeness" read leviticus before you say something ridiculous again

Capitalisation entirely matters as it changes a proper noun into just a noun. He is either a god or God, the capital makes the difference between the two. This song, ironically, promotes love and acceptance which are allegedly Christian values, yet a lot of comments have been very judgemental, angry and blatantly aggressive. Since you've suggested some reading for me, here are a few verses for you: Matthew 5:9 Matthew 5:39 James 1:19 Corinthians 16:14 If this song is a sin. What are your comments?

@@TheSebbyHour 1. When referring over text unless in a proper paper there are no grammatical rules that apply on the internet, just because i don't capitalize the g doesn't mean he's not the lord 2. I didn't treat you with any disrespect until your rude comment, which I was brash in my response I will admit, however forgiveness is not the same as accepting sin, you may forgive the sinners and hate the sin, that Is God's love 3. I never said It was a sin

I apologise for my brash reply. I am legitimately interested to hear why you don't believe that Jesus is woke. My understanding is that he promotes love and acceptance and that he supports and helps the poor, let's strangers into his home if they have nowhere to go and is generally an all round nice person. This is what woke means as far as I'm concerned, as I said earlier, the dictionary definition of woke is being "alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination". What of Jesus doesn't reflect that in your eyes?

What are you even talking about? I never claimed you could?

Couldn't you have left these comments a couple weeks ago? I made a video replying to angry comments already but yours would have been a lovely edition. I've never taken drugs in my life, I have hay fever which makes my eyes a bit red in the autumn and winter months... But talking of drugs, you should take a chill pill.

America always does everything bigger and more dramatically, it's true 😂

You don't even have snow in mid July? Typical Canadians! If the US had snow as an export they would have it in stock year round!

@@TheSebbyHour I haven't seen more then 3 or 4 inches in a decade where i'm at across from Detroit. the river used to never freeze over due to pollution, then the zebra muscles cleaned it and it used to freeze consistently up to just 11 or 12 years ago. I haven't seen it freeze over since.

3 or 4 inches seems like a lot to me 😂 We got about half an inch last year and everyone lost their minds because it was the most we'd had in almost a decade!

@@TheSebbyHour that was 10 years ago.... and it is Canada.

@TheInsaneupsdriver you know what's funny? After I sent the message about not having had snow in ages this morning, I got out of bed, opened the blinds... And it was snowing! No word of a lie, it has been snowing all day 😂

Love you too babes! 🫶

I don't get why heathens think that love thy neighbor means to tolerate their sins. If you truly love someone, you'll tell them the error of their ways

Hahahaha 😂

Then they probably all farted when they got back on the bus.

Eww 😂

I don't own a bible. What does woke mean to you?

My video that came out on Sunday touches on exactly what you said about Christianity clashing with their right wing politics, brain washing and in general the American Dream. As for brainwashing, I do find it quite surprising that a country that loves freedom has such a cult-like mentality towards its own national pride... It's disconcerting to say the least. I don't know how the media landscape works in Australia and New Zealand that much, but I'm pretty sure some of the major issues with the US media landscape is the lack of a strong, independent public broadcaster. As far as I'm aware, PBS has terrible viewing figures compared to companies such as Fox News. I feel like that's at least one big problem right there, along with the failing education standards...

Well, see, they use a loophole. "One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". That way you can say you're worshipping God, and not the country. P.S. If you don't know, that's how the pledge of allegiance ends. I was still able to recite that from memory, because I had to say it every day in middle school while holding my hand on my heart and facing an American flag.

@@peterlewis2178 I understand that but based on passages elsewhere in the Bible God doesn't seem to take a good view of people trying to get, get out clauses.

Everyone knows pizza is an American-English word 😂

@@TheSebbyHour I live in a town in Canada that has literally won best pizza in the world many times over. in the 50s some Italian immigrants created a pizza joint then after they retired their staff went on to create 30% of the current pizza joints that consistently win awards for it. its a local cheese producer as well that is part of it.

I have heard that there are some very good pizzas in the US and Canada, but I do question who organised said competition. A bit like how most of the Michelin star restaurants are in France 👀

@@TheInsaneupsdriver 'best in the world' seems to me 'a bit' of an unrealistic statement and impossible to know.

I spoil you? You spoiled me first with all your support! 🫶
