which tiktok was the worst?
@Lucious Monero & Goh funni
@@egglololol I'm pretty sure some ppl use it to indicate sarcasm actually/gen
this is a really hard question
The first one and the one about work( way to side with the big companies, like sorry the rest of us think we deserve to have a decent life and should be treated with respect and like you know what our time is valuable, much more valuable then making big companies rich)
@Rogue Which TikTok is the worst. I meant it as a joke because all of them are terrible lol
was a bit intimidating to be smoking marijuana while corry was saying “YOU! YOU WILL BE ARRESTED FOR SMOKING MARAJUANA”
it is true they are on their way
i love watching corry cause i'm like "omg what this person is saying is ridiculous"
and corry just goes way deeper and explains exactly why they're wrong with a bunch of arguments
Yeah it is so amazing
Do you have 2 functioning brain cells and need someone to spoon feed you your food too?

Honestly that person talking about minimum wages has never heard of the Maslow pyramid clearly. You cannot work on self actualisation and growth if your lower hierarchy needs aren't met, aka food, shelter and safety. So you need a liveable wage to even get to the point where you can grow
It’s a shame that people don’t educate themselves on these when trying to make points like that wage woman
Also minimum wage is absolutely supposed to be enough to live on, that's the whole idea of setting a minimum wage
It's always "science agrees with the left" and not "the left agrees with science".
Why does some random guy from Scotland understand the economy so much better than does a supposed spokesperson for the supposed Praeger U? Simply by NOT being blinded by ideology, Corry is able to leap past the Praeger idocy.
I would love to see more Pregger U in general on this channel. Cory always has the ability to absolutely obliterate the incorrect statements made and I think it would be cool to see him deconstruct more of the lies they spew, whether it's solely political or about LGBT+ issues.
wait, PragerU has tik toks??? everyday they prove they can get worse
their account got deleted after i saved the videos lol
(prager u has funding ties to big oil)
wait, but that would mean that they might want to downplay the harm that the use of oil has on the environment, so the oil industry remains strong and continues to fund them.
i just don’t think prager u would lie for their own gain
I’m reading a Star Trek book that takes place between season 2 and 3 of discovery and the main character basically jumped 900 years into the future from a functioning moneyless society into a stateless capitalist society. It’s very interesting because she notes how she never had to think about work in terms of survival and acquiring money, she just worked because she believed in the cause, but now she is forced to do jobs that she morally doesn’t agree with because if she doesn’t she won’t have enough money to survive. She says that by working this way she isn’t achieving her best and she doesn’t think a lot of people are because they’re working themselves to the bone on stuff that really doesn’t matter rather than applying themselves to the betterment of society. Anyway, work should be for the betterment of society and not to literally avoid dying. And the book is called wonderlands if anyone is interested, but you should watch Star Trek too.
Ty for the rec
Lady: "And have you ever noticed that all the solutions to fight climate change always conviniently match what the left wants"
Me: Duh. The left want to get rid of climate change. Of course if a group wants to get rid of something then solutions of how to get rid of something will be in the want of a group that wants to get rid of that thing, duh shm. 🤦♀️
Shaking head my
Sounds like me tryna add more words to my essay
"give up your freedoms to the state" Huh? I want the govt to change the methods of energy prediction, I want the state to invest in green energy, public transport, house insulation and reign in private companies. What freedom is given up there? The freedom to pay a private company for a gas guzzling car? I want the freedom to take effective public transport.
the absolute inhumane levels of privilege it takes for someone to say "minimum wage jobs are meant to incentivize you to get a better education or a better job" ... okay... so what happens when i do get the miracle scholarship or a better job? i just leave someone else to suffer in my place?
coolcoolcool, very christian
“there’s a difference between the individual and statistics” lmfao the fact that this needs to be explained is embarrassing. common sense is not so common
That whole bit about white Christians "having to stand up for their beliefs" against the police after one guy gets arrested for not closing their churches for lockdown is strange to me.
Like, isn't the Christian place of worship not limited to the confines of the church building? People can pray and read the bible in their own houses, jeez.
Edit: fixed typos
yeah I find it funny how christians seem to simultaneously believe that god is everywhere and that god exists exclusively inside churches
Yep but these are the types that wrap their faith together with their nationalism
They don't so much believe in God they believe in conservativeism
(As leftist Christian)
Yes, and I also find it very hypocritical that conservative Christians in the US complain that the left is taking over/ seizing power via their ideology, yet they are essentially advocating for an oppressive religion-based totalitarian regime. No thanks, I don't want law to be religion-based.
Guess blue lives don’t actually matter to them after all. Typical right wingers not practicing what they preach.
Minimum wage was literally started to be able to support a family. That is why it was set at the minimum. Initially it increased at the same/a similar rate as inflation, so that it was still the bare minimum of a livable wage. Since about the 70s, the minimum wage in the US has been fairly stagnant or increased very very little. Our cost of living has more than tripled and minimum wage is still only like $8/hr. It's abysmal.
Also, if no one works those "minimum wage jobs" that are supposed to be a starting point except teenagers and young adults, we won't have as many stores and restaurants and fast food places. They expect to have a service available but also deride the people providing that service.
It's actually only $7.25/ hr nationally, but some states and localities have a higher one in place. It has now been 12 years since it has been adjusted at all, which is the longest period since a minimum wage was implemented that it hasn't been adjusted (the second longest being 10 years, 1997 - 2007). I agree, it's hypocritical that a lot of these people expect to be catered to by people in so called "low skill" jobs, but complain when there aren't enough workers in these professions, which is because the amount of money to be made is not incentivizing.

Paused listening to you on Sci Guys to watch this
lmaoo me too
What a mistake
I think it's a mistake to assume the prageru people just came to the wrong conclusions. They know that they are telling lies, that's their whole strategy. Selling idealogy is very lucrative, I'm sure.
Yeah the issue is it’s hard to call them out on that specifically because ultimately it’s a very difficult thing to prove. Some people, though, that listen to them will have come to the wrong conclusion - so there is some use in hypothetically assuming they have just happened upon the wrong information
12:04 to quote Abigail Thorn, "No matter how much money and how much 'risk' Elon Musk throws at a pile of metal, it won't turn into a Tesla."
Don't get me wrong, alot of business owners just got help from daddy and we're lucky but nonetheless starting and running businesses are immense tasks that are insanely difficult. Yes retail etc is also exhausting and difficult but in a different way. More physically compared to emotionally. (Asda worker who is also in the early stages of starting my own company).
@@Melon_studios While that is true, I think there's an upper limit to that where the money compared to what someone provides to society becomes immoral regardless. Elon Musk provides nothing to society, and makes one of the top incomes in the world, due to the efforts of underpaid and exploited workers everywhere from the Tesla factories to the emerald mines. People like him have directly and indirectly caused so much harm that I honestly don't think it's fair to equate whatever stress they have to the misery that thousands of their workers face on a daily basis.
@@alexthunderbrand oh don't get me wrong I think Elon musk is satan reincarnated, he is such an abhorrent person but gets away with so much because he makes funny memes
@@alexthunderbrand I agree with everything ur saying. I prefer billionaires like John d Rockefeller as they dedicated their lives to philanthropy. They were a tad too brutal during their hay day but I would at more than made up for it with their charity after.
@@Melon_studios That's interesting. Because... well, let me ask you: would you rather have gifts from the rich, or have money in the community to do as is needed with on your terms? And as of Rockefeller, he climbed a ladder of blood and abusive legislations to get to where he was. Good working conditions were not his forte, and neither was generosity to small businesses.
If stillnotCorry is not Corry does that mean that there is a clone of stillnotCorry out there that is actually Corry🤔😂
Every time I hear a right-winger being a right-winger, I lose a bit of my soul. And I just think, “we really do live in a society, huh.”
8:46 to 9:15, I can't believe I never thought of it that way! That makes so much sense. Conservatives always talk about how sad it is that people are being paid more to stay at home and while it is sad, as you pointed out it's not sad for the reasons conservatives think it is.
0:39 if i watched it without knowing who ben shapiro is, i wouldve thought that it was satire
Lmfao I'm glad it's not just me who can't help but proper belly laugh at their videos
umm my entire family is vaccinated but they still caught covid - they’re not affected too badly and they’ve almost completely recovered within a week but yeah the vaccination doesn’t make you exempt from masks it just makes you less susceptible to it that’s all
Yeah, the point of the vaccines were to reduce hospitalisations and deaths, not stop you catching it altogether.
It's why I'm kinda annoyed at our government pushing a herd immunity strategy (as in wait till 80% of the population has had it)
I saw a quote the other day that I feel more people should hear. It was something like:
"Automatically disagreeing with what the government/science say/s isn't original thought" or something. like people think they're not sheep or whatever just because they automatically disagree with what the government has put in place for COVID-19, or what scientists recommend for climate change, etc. It's not forming your own opinion to hear something and discard it straight away, it's closed-minded, which is the very thing these people claim not to be.
I worked at a fast food place for a little over 2 months before I cracked. My boss was a dick, and so were the customers. I landed in the mental hospital at the end. To be fair, my mental health issues were preexisting, but still. I love when people argue that service workers shouldn't be paid a living rate because it was more physically, socially, and mentally draining than any other work I've done before. Service workers earn my utmost respect.
She said that unemployment payments are "supplementing incomes"? No...you have to be JOBLESS to get unemployment benefits. What income does she think is being supplemented?
I get their videos as ads all the time. It's really annoying
Thinking pragerU has a TikTok is so weird
Even "thinking" and "Prageru" in the same sentence just seems wrong
13:25 it’s so true, that’s why i quit my job. way too much on my mental health
Pretty sure minimum wage was originally designed to be enough for families to sustain themselves. Then inflation happened while wages stagnated, which is why it's now barely enough for one person to live on anymore
probably before the 2000s, we would get a singular forest fire every two. now in 2021, it feels like we have had like 10 in the past 2 months. That's not funny anymore.
They are so out of touch. The average person working at a minimum wage job is 35 years old. So someone who is actually working for a living. Not a teenager who is just working for spending money.
Was ben held at gunpoint in that first one lmao
the first one with ben it sounds like he’s saying it ironically even tho we know hes not lol also i love that u have lover behind u great album and great vid
corry you literally take the words out of my mouth you did great with explaining and all that shit
i love the way you explain things you do a great job
Lolll at that teacher one xD conservatives would be the first ones to say "I would need to know what happened before before I judge. The kid probably deserved it." if it was about anything else.
9:14 I never thought about it that way. My mom has been on unemployed since her job let her go at the start of covid and I always felt bad about it but she couldn’t take a minimum wage job over her unemployment payments because she literally couldn’t keep our family afloat on just one job so she’s been trying to bide her time and keeps applying for jobs she could live off of. After you brought this up though, I finally realize the problem might not be us but instead might be the system
I saw the first one and I was like "that HAS to be the worst one" ......and then it got worse
Love to set up. Loving the light in the back.
9:00 This is the effect of Reagan economics, more tax breaks for the rich and keeping the minimum wage low so corporations can get more profit, which if you learn in any history or economic class, actually creates a negative feed back loop where employees actually cant pay for the stuff they make or sell, leads to a less productive economy, and now 40% of America is in poverty....wages have gone up 12% in the last 30 years. Prices have been raised 150% since the 90s. Inflation doesnt matter because no one is accounting for the fact that 7 people in america own more than half the wealth in America. We learned about the French Revolution and we are worse off than them.
I've never been good at explaining things so I'm glad Corry is and we agree :)
if you solely pay attention to corry's eyebrow movement, this video hits differently
Nobody has ever understood anything that their job requires them NOT to understand.
Maybe certain people should be thinking about how to save the earth from becoming unlivable, rather than taking joyrides off it...
Yes the world didn’t end and hasn’t, but do you rly want to just wait for it or try to prevent it
god those tik toks annoyed me just the straight up lies.
If people would never work if they had enough money to "just survive", then why do billionaires and top execs still work? Are they just better than everyone or is that bullshit, what people actually don't want to do is back breaking, unfulfilling labour with no reward and no praise
As if the right didn't have Y2K and the aztec calendar lmao
ooh this ones gonna be good
Ouch, PragerU has gone over to TikTok? Dangg, get them away.

"Oh, you want money to live? Go risk your life and other people's lives to do it"
How long should an entry period be in jobs? 5 years? 10 years? People between the ages of 18 and 29 are like 16% of US population and more or less 25% of people of the working age. Do you think that's enough to fill all low income positions?
My point is, we RELY on the people performing lowest income jobs every single day. Do you really think we should treat those jobs as unimportant and just stepping stones? None of us would survive a week without buying groceries. So grow up and support those who work their asses off so that you can access basic necessities.
On the climate change one: the scientists predicting the end of civilisation in 2000 can't have had a consensus either.
I worked during the entire lockdown, since I'm an essential worker (Supermarket, mostly Customer Service), and I was very lucky that I did not get COVID. My Mother worked from home during the lockdown as her health is poor (She has Osteoporosis, an old Fracture that never healed properly and suffered 2 Heart Attacks prior to the outbreak), and is still currently working from home. I work more hours than her at unreasonable hours (5am lmao), yet I make way less than what she makes. Is it unfair? I guess. Am I going to force my old, sick Mother out to work during a Pandemic as a result? HELL NO! Stay safe and work from home if it turns out to be better for you.
EDIT: I do want to mention that I wish something would be done to improve the lives of those of us working 5-7 days a week, yet still not making enough to survive or further our education to get a better paying job. I've developed chronic wrist pain during the Pandemic, and my workplace is what has caused it. Unfortunately for me, I can't afford to not work. So, I now deal with these painful flare ups twice a week with some hella strong anti inflammatories - But I shouldn't have to be working my ass off to the point where I'm now in constant pain in the first place just to make enough to barely survive. It sucks.
corry you have such nice teeth
Ohhh my brain hurts
i love how conservatives just cant get popular on tiktok really is great at keeping those yts at bay
When the lockdowns first happened my church put on a livestream for worship and sermons so we wouldn't have to endanger people
You know
LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE???
i hv officially lost all hope in humanity
They have done it.
Hi Corry
idk if you'll even see this but I had a small piece of constructive criticism. I just wanted to ask if you could avoid using the word 'narcissist' as it further stigmatises pwNPD and creates the idea that pwNPD are inherently bad. NPD is already hated and used to diagnose people who do bad things, which furthers the idea that all pwNPD are evil. Maybe instead of 'narcissist' you could use 'selfish', 'self-absorbed', 'egocentric' or 'egomaniacal'? It would help pw personality disorders and destigamatise them. I enjoy watching your videos and learning more in depth about issues in society. I hope you can accommodate for pwPDs and allow there to be more safe spaces for them.
Thank you :)
tbh i disagree - narcissism is a normal human trait & it doesn’t always refer to the condition. in the same sense that depression & anxiety don’t always mean clinical depression or gad.
i’m pretty sure that it’s clear from context that I’m not talking about people with npd. ultimately, the adjectives you’ve suggested would also be used to describe the presentation of npd - so it’s not like dodging those dodges the stigmatisation.
narcissism being a negative trait doesn’t then mean that people with npd are inherently bad people. pretending that narcissism isn’t a negative personality trait won’t stop stigmatisation.

Hey, I am a fan but one lil thing is that in that second clip you seemed to be pushing for a higher minimum wage but countries with the best standard of living actually have eliminated minimum wage. Sweden, Norway, Denmark the countries you associate with left utopia actually don't have minimum wage. Trust me, I ain't no super capitalist and Technically follow a form of third way socialism. Also I'm working class from north UK currently working at asda so I ain't some rich middle class boi
Your understanding of science (sci guys fan) and alot of social elements and issues are expansive however, your understanding of economics ain't amazing (not trying to be offensive, everyone has their specialities and a jack of all trades is a master of none).
Just want to stress I rly don't want to come across as insulting just business and economics is extremely difficult and many left wing peeps tend to simplify it to fit their beliefs rather than mold their beliefs on it. My beliefs in regards to this are more formed around the fact that companies are selfish and will act with whatever will benefit them. Therefore, government should act as a guiding hand reframing what is good for them through steep penalization and incentivisation, tax hikes and fines for doing this and tax breaks and grants for doing that.
I’m saying that the minimum wage in the US is so low that people can have a job and be unable to afford rent. Ultimately I don’t believe that people should have to work in order to survive, so I guess under that hypothetical framework a minimum wage would be unnecessary. However eliminating minimum wage in the US right now would hardly result in better conditions, there are a lot of differences between the US and those countries (none of which I’ve ever said were leftist utopias lol). Pretty sure the reason these countries don’t have a minimum wage is bc of strong unions etc. Which is something that i’m all for…
The minimum wage exists, and as long as it does it should be enough to live on. If there were a system to replace it that could feasibly work in the US right now, then that’s a different conversation. even so, that system would probably have some kind of minimum wage bargained for by unions rather than set by the federal government
i’ve never said that i have a particularly deep understanding of economics lol, it’s why i don’t really delve deep into specifics. not really sure how i can take that comment constructively lol - you’ve not really given me anything to go on… i didn’t delve deeply into the topic (because I’m not super well read on it) but it really seems like the criticism here stems from that.
@@stillnotcorry oh sry I should clarify, by you when I refered to the left utopia I meant general British society. As in the average Brit thinks of Scandinavia and associates it with good vibes and left policy working rly well. I didn't think you would read nor reply so was more speaking in a general sense.
Also I totally agree, I don't think the minimum wage can simply be removed in the US and expect it to be alright, it would go awfully. It was more just that you seemed to swing into an area that was a tad more nuanced. I'm sry if I irritated you, it was not my intention but I guess if there was to be and constructive criticism it would be maybe to avoid these super complex nuanced areas idk 😐 tbf my economic politics especially won't allign with most of your viewer base so maybe ur doing what is right, u didn't claim anything as fact just simply added in a tad of you opinion, an opinion presumably shared by most of your audience. So I guess don't take my thing as criticism (once again I didn't expect you to read nevermind Reply) but more so wanted to also give a bit of a different Outlook. Love your stuff (especially sci guys), oh also you podcast helped me work through the pandemic at asda, something that was a truly horrifying period (I was on home shopping so we were not prepared for what came) keep vibing and making good content :)
@@stillnotcorry just saw ur edit, I think it's a mix of unions and government policy and capitalism working well. I ain't a great fan of unions as they typically just run up costs which wouldn't necessarily be bad if we didn't live in a world where international trade exists and people can undercut you and destroy the industry (partially what happened up north in coal towns like Washington where I'm from)
I do not tiktok so i wouldn't know, but i get the impression from what I see of it elsewhere that the user base is largely left leaning so like... I can only imagine what kind of response they're getting. I'm actually curious. Did they find their corner of the tictac or are they getting dog-piled every video?
