Bro, y u starting this snow ball, now people r going to write fake news about it, and children r going to read the fake stuff and think it's true😢 U should talk to people that actually live in the war and not tell stories from the news (which u say that r biased, btw) Go look for photos of hostages, and hear some stories from families that their children murdered by hamas And btw, Israel and the USA send soport to people in gaza, but hamas steal it and they to kill who ever try to fight it
Your point that the government is not really doing things that reflect what their constituents want is definitely true. How is your average citizen supposed to influence policy if the people they vote for do not represent them? Historicity in the U.S. disruption, like we see today, has been used frequently and has proved effective. We romanticize the Boston Tea party but get mad at college students today for occupying public spaces.
@inutamer365 "least lethal" in total numbers? Totality is a terrible metric, but your entire sentiment there is utterly terrible. Let's look at the statistics about the casualties. 2/3 of the people killed in Gaza have been women and children. Over half of the population is under 18 to begin with, but the indiscriminant bombing and lack of resources (not to mention direct killings by the IDF) has decimated especially those who would bring up and be the next generations. Noah Samsen has a pretty simply explained video on the Geneva Convention and the many ways that Israel has violated international law. If you ignore everything said up there, the ICJ trial's mere existence proves the worldwide contention over this war and this genocide. It's not "some kids making it up". Your denial is gross in itself, but the apparent lack of empathy really makes it disgusting.
For chimps my strongest combo is. Sauda, Prince of Darkness (will have around round 62), Moab Domination (will have around 83), 4-0-1 Alchemist, and a 4-2-0 monkey village, on some cases you can get the monkey village tier 5 on round 92 ish. Usually wins on any map on chimps but depends on map layout tbh. Very strong strat, highly recommend it!

Quick clarification, Hamas didn't start anything. This dates back to post WW2 when the Palestinian people were first displaced. Look up the 'Nakba'. This all happened before Hamas was even a thing
i was just about to comment about this but yeah, Chris is right, he chose to be neutral when knowing that the media has hidden agenda. but even without knowing that, or which side is right (or, as he said, less wrong). seeing a literal genocid33 happening there, like bro? maybe in the media there really blocked footage and evident of the act? idk, but yeah, if they didn't, i think Chris will know which side to pick
I think it’s important to clearly signpost a start date from which you want to start discussing the Israeli Palestinian conflict. No matter where you want to start it, it’s hard to place the blame fully at the feet of one group. Even if you choose 1948 (which is bizarre considering Jews have lived in Israel since 1500 BC) the Nakba was the direct result of neighbouring Arab states’ invasion of the newly declared Israel with the intention of wiping it out. Simultaneously, some 600k Jews were expelled from Middle Eastern countries such as Iraq and Yemen. So if you insist Hamas didn’t start anything, there is certainly an argument to be made that Arab states started a lot.
It actually started in 600 A.D. Hamas is a radical sect of Islam. They, like other radical islamists hate Jews because they are told to by their Prophet Hamas qoutes their prophet. Sahih Muslim 2922, "The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews." They believe trees and stones will speak and aid them in genociding Jews.

Much respect for using your channel to spark an honest and open discussion about pressing issues like the ongoing genocide-and giving sound Bloons tips while you’re at it. Thanks YT algorithm for bringing me here!
Hey Chris. I appreciate your input on the situation in Gaza. I appreciate you calling it a genocide. So if you want a quick rundown of the events that’s pretty historically accurate, I recommend looking into Noam Chomsky. But just a few things I wanted to tell you as someone who’s researched the conflict. For one, I don’t really think Hamas started it per say, they did launch an attack on Israelis October 7th, but a) the Israeli government has admitted it knew about the attack already and b) people in Gaza were generally living in what was called(by amnesty international) an open air prison, something like 95% of the water was undrinkable, half the population is under 18, most of them are starving too. And generally it was a horrible situation. So nothing about what Hamas did is necessarily justified by this, but I can understand why they might’ve lashed out rather foolishly. But this issue is almost a century in the making, and, well, basically, after ww2 where many Jewish refugees were created, the western powers chose to support the ideology called “Zionism”, founded by a guy named Theodore Herzl. This movement was more of a fringe movement than representative of Jewish people, because it advocated for the creation of a majority (ethnically) Jewish state, in what land is ancestrally Jewish. And that is basically saying, Jewish people should have an ethnostate acquired via settler colonialism. Where America and the west more broadly comes in, is that they basically unequivocally back Israel for the power it allots them in the region. Anyways, the project of israel basically started by removing Palestinians from their homes and moving Zionist settlers into the spaces they used to occupy, while taking structural power from the already poorer country with western backing. The best example of this is the 1948 Nakba, as well as other ethnic cleansing campaigns in Israel’s history. Additionally worth noting, Hamas, a militant group basing its resistance off Islamic principles, was originally funded by the Israeli state as an opposition to the secular resistance movements(like the PLO). So the conflict really did not begin with Hamas, it’s been ongoing since the 40s at least. If you’re interested in learning more, the RUclipsr Badempanada has done some seriously scholarship on the issue, as has Historian Norman Finkelstein. Hopefully this was informative and not just ramblings.
I've seen clips of the protests at the universities where the students refuse to say anything to any news reporter. Now it makes more sense why. Sometimes silence is better. Also sick btd 6 vid.
There have been a few syncronycities with conversations and relevant topics I've been a part of lately and this goes directly along with the nature of this world and who controls the systems...
That was a fairly well put point. Being that both are wrong. While one was in self defense, least at first things have gone to far. Both are genocidal. Neither want the other to exist
Hey sjb, i play this game kinda rare nowadays but i still like to watch some of your videos from time to time and this kind of commentaries are the best, dont be afraid to express your opinions on things like this, if someone decides to unsubscribe or smth because of commentary like this your probably better off such audience. I would even encourage to form stronger opinions on whatever side you choose to take and have spicier discussions :)).
Different protest types can have different goals. If you ask people who participate in stopping traffic, they know people aren’t going to like them. They do it for the attention it brings to their cause, and to give people a slight idea of an inconvenience in their life compared to the experience of the people they are protesting for. I.e. getting stuck in traffic vs getting forcibly removed from you house or bombed
That's all fine and dandy until the protests cause the deaths of innocent bystanders like what happened with the climate protests in the UK, where their protesting prevented an ambulance from getting someone to hospital to get the care they needed.
i really didn’t understand his whole point. it’s also a bummer that he never mentioned what they were protesting about. if you’re going to talk about a political topic (protesting) why wont you mention the thing they’re protesting about? i just don’t understand why he even mentioned this in the first place if his points is just blatant entitlement.
I think the biggest thing of any successful protest is that it remains peaceful and civil. This is super hard to do, especially the longer they go on bc people will become more and more agitated, leading to the potential of violence. But the most successful protester of all time, MLK, specifically made sure that violence played no part in it.
In my humble opinion, the issue with protests today isn’t the average protester, it’s the fact more poorly representative protesters are going to more protests
I'm not really going to address any of the stuff you said about Israel and Hamas specifically because I'm not really equipped to. However, regarding protesting, you have an incorrect assumption that successful protests in the past had widespread public support. That is simply not the case. Every major political movement that got their demands met through protesting was or is HATED by many people. It is not the case that the vast majority of the public was on the side of the black civil rights protestors doing sit-ins at white-only restaurants, for example. In fact, they used the exact same "you aren't protesting THE RIGHT WAY" rhetoric that I think you have fallen into here. We do not need to simply agree with what any given group wants simply because they're protesting for it, but by hating who they are without even listening to what they're saying in the first place, you really just play right into the hands of the media you said is selling you a particular narrative, whether intentionally or not.
They just answered that in the original comment. Yes. Progress can, has, and will be made through protests, with a lot of public support or not. Be it on things such as the climate crisis, human rights, or whatever one fights for. It is always nice to have everyone in agreement with you and your cause as a protester, but then there shouldn't be a problem to get through changes, right? If you are "protesting" in a friendly manner through "correct" channels then you would more easily get through changes, yea? No. You forget that before people take to the streets and protest because most other tactics has already been tried. People appeal to politicians and civil society, people campaign and speak up on important issues, people get relevant educations and work in relevant fields, volunteer for a better life and planet. But when none of that works, when you are still left ignored, then what other option do you have that do make people see you and your demands? Make people listen? The friendly approach has been tried again and again. It is still being tried by many, every day. But it's not enough. That is why many take to the streets in protest. It is also important to ask yourself, especially in cases where violence and disorder breaks out, who instigated the violence and disorder and why? History shows us many cases where it is not the protesters, but cops and anti-protesters that instigate violence in order to skew the publics perception of protesters. This only goes back to what you said about the news. One has to be critical of what one reads. But also, critical of what you yourself believe and why.
I think it's kinda cool you're able to talk about politics and other stuff that might stir up controversy. Me personally, I don't really care about politics because I am like where I know I am going to go against someone's opinion.
love the videos but the info on Israel is definitely a bit off, not gonna start a war here because i love the channel just a little triggered on the info being wrong. its great you have a open mind and can talk about almost anything and make it entertaining , but that's a topic worth investigating before speaking on.
Him calling it a war between two evils is a surface level take, but at least I don’t think it means he is directly pro Israel or that he likes the oppression of Palestinian people
From what I guess, He is main thing is against the violence. Seeing the October attack as escalation to total war, but also isn't completely oblivious to the humanitarian crisis as to why he acknowledged the oppression. One way to inteperate what he said I suppose.
I feel like you really weren't all that controversial in this video, everything you said had both merit and heart to it. I respect you so much for taking the chance on putting your opinion out there on this, it is most certainly a dangerous thing to do especially considering your career could crumble over it which is unfortunate. but overall it's a great video and we love you ❤
This got Deep Bro, but I think you are right. This is a sticky situation, but if you are going to complain, don't piss people off that you need on your side. Sorry to all those who lost out on graduation ceremonies because of hostile protests.
Personally I don't look at or pay attention to the news. I go about my day to day life pretty much in a bubble to be honest. And I'm happy with that decision so far.
Random internet dweller's 2 cents: Hamas is far from ideal, which is sad because it's Gaza's only real form of retaliation against assault that has left over ~34,500 people dead as of this comment's writing and a major amount of Gaza totally destroyed with presumably hundreds of thousands of injured and otherwise suffering people [I want to bring the fact Hamas is not tantamount to all of Gaza to the forefront for this one by the way]. Protesters are unfortunately probably going to protest in whichever way they want to regardless of if they disturb someone or not. However there's a lot of people with 'out of sight, out of mind, I stand for nothing except I think that what inconveniences me shouldn't be there' mentalities which is what partially owes to counterprotests. I don't really want to change people's minds so I won't go further on this. With all that said, a Chris video is a Chris video, so that at least is nice.
One of my favorite main-DPS towers is the Commanche Commander. However, with the MOAB damage nerfs it got, I'm not quite sure how well it fairs for my strategy now. I did recently complete Balance on CHIMPS with Bloon Solver, Icicle Impale, and Pre-Emptive strike as my main towers. Also, on the Israel/Palestine protests, I used to be pro-Israel. However, after learning about the war crimes and crap that both sides have done, I'm now neutral. If there's no right answer, then I don't want to be wrong. Neutrality is probably the best bet for that sort of scenario.
10:58 Here's how I see it, is gaza has been quite literally forced to fight their way out of their land. They've been given this tiny piece of land that's been shrinking over decades due to Israel's army, and so now they have no chance but to fight back.
mm i think that the thing with talking about "2 wrongs" is that israel were doing what they are doing now for decades, obviously this time it's the most striking but it's nothing new if you as much as look up the list of israel's list of crimes through the years, i mean its still a complicated situation and normally I would not advocate for specific sides but for this one, at least for me, its kinda evident
My strongest combo is Hero: Sauda o quency Magic monkey 0-2-5 Druid 2-5-0 Shredder 2-5-0 Practilly I can spot camouflage bloons with the magic monkey, druid and Shredder destroy everything
I think the biggest issue (both sides do bad) is Hamas has a charter, it's similar to how we have a constitution, and within that they say how they will never believe 1. in a cease fire and 2. Until all the Jews are dead. Israel bombing civilians is horrible and tragic, but how to you have peace with a group that wants you dead no matter what
i love these episodes where you just talk and play a simple game. other bloon ytubers would just slap on a mod, laugh and yell the whole time and be annoying. I love just playing bloons or other games and listening you switch between talking about the game and topics that nobody else wants to touch
oh cool, i wanted to relax listening to btd6 content and completely out of nowhere i have to listen to some dude sympathizing with ch1ld murderers and acting like both sides are bad.
😂Great advice to protesting...! Though, perhaps in history, like slavery, women's rights, anti war, religious genocide... just protest, but be NICE about it 🥰 If you want to protest, just don't make it difficult, and let it all be happy about life. Protesting doesn't really matter.. and as you say, protesting never really points out right from wrong..

I agree with the fact that the way people protests makes them being hated by the average citizen, but for winning a protest you don't have just to be liked, you have to be the better offerer. Let's make an example with made up names and numbers: Frank is the one in charge, with his politicies the average citizen gets 10. Carl is the leader of the protest and he says that people should get 20. Carl protests in the peacefull, legally way. Excluding bad propaganda made by Frank to reduce Carl's reputation, people do like Carl, but noone is really putting effort to put him on charge, why do i say this? By supporting Frank, the people are sure to get that 10, if they support Carl and he loses, they might lose that little they have and so they are scared to support him. The protest is useless. Carl, for taking power, should make people NEED him. How? By blocking the money/good influx towards who support Frank, and so, being the one giving them the most or the only one giving something. He then is the better offerer, and people will support him. if enought people NEEDS him, he'll be enought strong to depose Frank or Force him to do what Carl wants. Moral? If you're legally allowed to protests, it means that it's not a treat to the one in charge. Sorry if i made some grammar mistakes, english is not my native language.
Firs of all, I wnna say that I am a long time subscriber of your youtube channel and i really really really like all of your videos and if you could maby make again the 2000% health moabs video but do it on dobble hp moabs that would be awesome. The second thing i wanted to say is that even though I understand you don't to start an argument about politics in the comment section of this video, there where a few things you got wrong about the whole situation in gaza and it bothered me enough to write a comment, so here we are. So the whole thing generally started on October 7th 2023 when the Hamas (with the help of Palestinian citizens) attacked Israel and as a result killd about 1200 israeli citizens and kidnapped about 250 more (you can read all about it on the least bias place i could find which is Wikipedia, under the title "2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel"). Israel oviasly responded, they responded by making a "Declaration of war" and by attacking the Hamas and it's leaders. During this war, that has been going for about seven months now, Gaza keeps on getting "Humanitarian aid" on a daily basis, that aid is getting to Gaza through Israel and with the support of the Israeli government. This ongoing war is between Israel and the Hamas and there is no genocide happening, there is just war between a country and a terror organization.

Would throwing an alch on them make them all even stronger?
The bro had the balls to talk about this, gg 😊
That was a fairly well put point. Being that both are wrong. While one was in self defense, least at first things have gone to far. Both are genocidal. Neither want the other to exist
More battles please. Some of my favorite content on RUclips
Thank you Chris
Duuude someone finally playing my strat.
Can u give good strata for expert maps on chimps
Hey sjb, i play this game kinda rare nowadays but i still like to watch some of your videos from time to time and this kind of commentaries are the best, dont be afraid to express your opinions on things like this, if someone decides to unsubscribe or smth because of commentary like this your probably better off such audience. I would even encourage to form stronger opinions on whatever side you choose to take and have spicier discussions :)).
I agree with you on the protestors bit, IDK what they are thinking
Different protest types can have different goals. If you ask people who participate in stopping traffic, they know people aren’t going to like them. They do it for the attention it brings to their cause, and to give people a slight idea of an inconvenience in their life compared to the experience of the people they are protesting for. I.e. getting stuck in traffic vs getting forcibly removed from you house or bombed
That's all fine and dandy until the protests cause the deaths of innocent bystanders like what happened with the climate protests in the UK, where their protesting prevented an ambulance from getting someone to hospital to get the care they needed.
i really didn’t understand his whole point. it’s also a bummer that he never mentioned what they were protesting about. if you’re going to talk about a political topic (protesting) why wont you mention the thing they’re protesting about? i just don’t understand why he even mentioned this in the first place if his points is just blatant entitlement.

Louder for the people in the back🗣️🗣️
@@3xbt7 what do you mean he didn't mention what they were protesting about? he literally did lmao
Bloon solver and primary expertise is so broken can legit solo up to round 99. Get a Moab Elim for Bad popping power
Loved the video ❤
Love you SJB ❤
I think the biggest thing of any successful protest is that it remains peaceful and civil. This is super hard to do, especially the longer they go on bc people will become more and more agitated, leading to the potential of violence. But the most successful protester of all time, MLK, specifically made sure that violence played no part in it.
In my humble opinion, the issue with protests today isn’t the average protester, it’s the fact more poorly representative protesters are going to more protests
I'm not really going to address any of the stuff you said about Israel and Hamas specifically because I'm not really equipped to. However, regarding protesting, you have an incorrect assumption that successful protests in the past had widespread public support. That is simply not the case. Every major political movement that got their demands met through protesting was or is HATED by many people. It is not the case that the vast majority of the public was on the side of the black civil rights protestors doing sit-ins at white-only restaurants, for example. In fact, they used the exact same "you aren't protesting THE RIGHT WAY" rhetoric that I think you have fallen into here. We do not need to simply agree with what any given group wants simply because they're protesting for it, but by hating who they are without even listening to what they're saying in the first place, you really just play right into the hands of the media you said is selling you a particular narrative, whether intentionally or not.
It's possible, but if you're protesting and you make more enemies from protesting than doing nothing. Are you really progressing?
They just answered that in the original comment. Yes. Progress can, has, and will be made through protests, with a lot of public support or not. Be it on things such as the climate crisis, human rights, or whatever one fights for.
It is always nice to have everyone in agreement with you and your cause as a protester, but then there shouldn't be a problem to get through changes, right?
If you are "protesting" in a friendly manner through "correct" channels then you would more easily get through changes, yea?
No.
You forget that before people take to the streets and protest because most other tactics has already been tried. People appeal to politicians and civil society, people campaign and speak up on important issues, people get relevant educations and work in relevant fields, volunteer for a better life and planet. But when none of that works, when you are still left ignored, then what other option do you have that do make people see you and your demands? Make people listen?
The friendly approach has been tried again and again. It is still being tried by many, every day. But it's not enough. That is why many take to the streets in protest.
It is also important to ask yourself, especially in cases where violence and disorder breaks out, who instigated the violence and disorder and why? History shows us many cases where it is not the protesters, but cops and anti-protesters that instigate violence in order to skew the publics perception of protesters.
This only goes back to what you said about the news. One has to be critical of what one reads. But also, critical of what you yourself believe and why.
I like how you think about the protesters i hate them two keep upp with good videos 👍🔥
I think it's kinda cool you're able to talk about politics and other stuff that might stir up controversy. Me personally, I don't really care about politics because I am like where I know I am going to go against someone's opinion.
It's really similar to my early game strat. 0-2-4 dart, Sauda and a 3-0-2 boomerang monkey
Congrats on 8OOk subs youll reach 1 mil by july
Hey Chris
How do we stop murder, without murdering?
This on hard mode?
if moab dom 's weakness is bloons, you could just go for the top cross path. I think he is better for the 90s as well because of the grouped moabs
800k baby!!
Kudos for using your platform to spread the word of peace and justice.
Came for the Bloons, stayed for Based Chris.
Gotta' love controversial Chris❤
By the way, i made sure to put in SJB as my new creator support code!!
love the videos but the info on Israel is definitely a bit off, not gonna start a war here because i love the channel just a little triggered on the info being wrong. its great you have a open mind and can talk about almost anything and make it entertaining , but that's a topic worth investigating before speaking on.
Him calling it a war between two evils is a surface level take, but at least I don’t think it means he is directly pro Israel or that he likes the oppression of Palestinian people
From what I guess,
He is main thing is against the violence. Seeing the October attack as escalation to total war, but also isn't completely oblivious to the humanitarian crisis as to why he acknowledged the oppression.
One way to inteperate what he said I suppose.
Hi chris. Stay safe, storm season is upon us illinoians.
Farmers in France had my back 100%
I feel like you really weren't all that controversial in this video, everything you said had both merit and heart to it. I respect you so much for taking the chance on putting your opinion out there on this, it is most certainly a dangerous thing to do especially considering your career could crumble over it which is unfortunate.
but overall it's a great video and we love you ❤
This got Deep Bro, but I think you are right. This is a sticky situation, but if you are going to complain, don't piss people off that you need on your side. Sorry to all those who lost out on graduation ceremonies because of hostile protests.
Crossbow master is so satisfying
Came for BTD6. Stayed for the based commentary
Personally I don't look at or pay attention to the news. I go about my day to day life pretty much in a bubble to be honest. And I'm happy with that decision so far.
bro I did not expect to hear about izrael's war on gaza, US politics or protesting by glueing oneself to the road on a btd6 video.
Thanks for calling it a genocide. I don’t agree with everything you said but it’s important to talk about. I’ll be using the creator support code!
How did Minecraft not add a Bloons mod yet?
Random internet dweller's 2 cents:
Hamas is far from ideal, which is sad because it's Gaza's only real form of retaliation against assault that has left over ~34,500 people dead as of this comment's writing and a major amount of Gaza totally destroyed with presumably hundreds of thousands of injured and otherwise suffering people [I want to bring the fact Hamas is not tantamount to all of Gaza to the forefront for this one by the way].
Protesters are unfortunately probably going to protest in whichever way they want to regardless of if they disturb someone or not. However there's a lot of people with 'out of sight, out of mind, I stand for nothing except I think that what inconveniences me shouldn't be there' mentalities which is what partially owes to counterprotests. I don't really want to change people's minds so I won't go further on this.
With all that said, a Chris video is a Chris video, so that at least is nice.
One of my favorite main-DPS towers is the Commanche Commander. However, with the MOAB damage nerfs it got, I'm not quite sure how well it fairs for my strategy now. I did recently complete Balance on CHIMPS with Bloon Solver, Icicle Impale, and Pre-Emptive strike as my main towers.
Also, on the Israel/Palestine protests, I used to be pro-Israel. However, after learning about the war crimes and crap that both sides have done, I'm now neutral. If there's no right answer, then I don't want to be wrong. Neutrality is probably the best bet for that sort of scenario.
carpet of spikes would have probably been the easiest win to get after the money save up
Love the great content keep it up 👍👍
TRUE.
You could have gotten moab domination
800k!!!
10:58 Here's how I see it, is gaza has been quite literally forced to fight their way out of their land. They've been given this tiny piece of land that's been shrinking over decades due to Israel's army, and so now they have no chance but to fight back.
Ngl. I just wanna hear about bloons and monkey. Not the atrocities of the real world. 😅
mm i think that the thing with talking about "2 wrongs" is that israel were doing what they are doing now for decades, obviously this time it's the most striking but it's nothing new if you as much as look up the list of israel's list of crimes through the years, i mean its still a complicated situation and normally I would not advocate for specific sides but for this one, at least for me, its kinda evident
My strongest combo is
Hero: Sauda o quency
Magic monkey 0-2-5
Druid 2-5-0
Shredder 2-5-0
Practilly I can spot camouflage bloons with the magic monkey, druid and Shredder destroy everything
I think the biggest issue (both sides do bad) is Hamas has a charter, it's similar to how we have a constitution, and within that they say how they will never believe 1. in a cease fire and 2. Until all the Jews are dead. Israel bombing civilians is horrible and tragic, but how to you have peace with a group that wants you dead no matter what
Challenge use your very good tips (bad tips you made) to win hard mode
this strategy is so busted i just got like 9 easy af black borders
i love these episodes where you just talk and play a simple game. other bloon ytubers would just slap on a mod, laugh and yell the whole time and be annoying. I love just playing bloons or other games and listening you switch between talking about the game and topics that nobody else wants to touch
Ditto!!!!
oh cool, i wanted to relax listening to btd6 content and completely out of nowhere i have to listen to some dude sympathizing with ch1ld murderers and acting like both sides are bad.
Thank you for bringing awareness to the palestine israel conflict. Bless you.
Incredibly based
😂Great advice to protesting...! Though, perhaps in history, like slavery, women's rights, anti war, religious genocide... just protest, but be NICE about it 🥰 If you want to protest, just don't make it difficult, and let it all be happy about life. Protesting doesn't really matter.. and as you say, protesting never really points out right from wrong..
Day 11! All stun team, Psi/Pat, Moab Dom, Top path cannon, any glue freeze, top path sniper, top path mortar, top path Druid, super monkey w/knockback, ninja with distraction/flashbomb, engineer with pin.
Much respect for using your platform to at least address this subject. Very brave of you
I agree with the fact that the way people protests makes them being hated by the average citizen, but for winning a protest you don't have just to be liked, you have to be the better offerer.
Let's make an example with made up names and numbers:
Frank is the one in charge, with his politicies the average citizen gets 10.
Carl is the leader of the protest and he says that people should get 20.
Carl protests in the peacefull, legally way.
Excluding bad propaganda made by Frank to reduce Carl's reputation, people do like Carl, but noone is really putting effort to put him on charge, why do i say this?
By supporting Frank, the people are sure to get that 10, if they support Carl and he loses, they might lose that little they have and so they are scared to support him. The protest is useless.
Carl, for taking power, should make people NEED him. How? By blocking the money/good influx towards who support Frank, and so, being the one giving them the most or the only one giving something.
He then is the better offerer, and people will support him.
if enought people NEEDS him, he'll be enought strong to depose Frank or Force him to do what Carl wants.
Moral? If you're legally allowed to protests, it means that it's not a treat to the one in charge.
Sorry if i made some grammar mistakes, english is not my native language.
Firs of all, I wnna say that I am a long time subscriber of your youtube channel and i really really really like all of your videos and if you could maby make again the 2000% health moabs video but do it on dobble hp moabs that would be awesome.
The second thing i wanted to say is that even though I understand you don't to start an argument about politics in the comment section of this video, there where a few things you got wrong about the whole situation in gaza and it bothered me enough to write a comment, so here we are.
So the whole thing generally started on October 7th 2023 when the Hamas (with the help of Palestinian citizens) attacked Israel and as a result killd about 1200 israeli citizens and kidnapped about 250 more (you can read all about it on the least bias place i could find which is Wikipedia, under the title "2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel"). Israel oviasly responded, they responded by making a "Declaration of war" and by attacking the Hamas and it's leaders. During this war, that has been going for about seven months now, Gaza keeps on getting "Humanitarian aid" on a daily basis, that aid is getting to Gaza through Israel and with the support of the Israeli government. This ongoing war is between Israel and the Hamas and there is no genocide happening, there is just war between a country and a terror organization.
