It's weird that someone took time out of their day to stalk and confront someone over an opinion on the internet, as harsh as it was I'm not gonna put my life on hold over something and/or someone so trivial. I don't know that woman, and it really speaks volumes of the supposed "veteran" in that video. My grandpa is a veteran, air force, and he doesn't throw his service nor his position at random strangers to make himself look holier than thou whenever he's upset about something or someone!
She perhaps thought she was screaming in the void instead of posting something in the internet with ill intentions. Seriously? Posting something online with such thoughts and you expect no one crazy will come after you? Damn, some people have lived comfortable lives for so long they don't dare double check their attitudes online.
What's the chances it was some far from the other side of the country? It was probably a local who knew this person worked at Home Depot. Phil's story of the man tracking her down is conjecture.
Yes and no. Is the guy a weirdo, hell yeah. But People need to understand social media is not consequence free. If you're not willing to say something in the town square, don't post it. the older generation discovered Facebook and has been eating itself because of it
the home depot dude was completely out of line with the statement, "As a veteran I'm disgusted. What have you done for your country?" as if she is a second class citizen because she didn't serve for the military.
@@TheLRRPS - Literally tracking them down in real life is definitely stalking. And doing it for something they said online makes it absolutely unhinged.
Just a reminder that kick allowed Adin Ross, with an owner on call, to repeatedly call Destiny the f-slur and have his community doxx him with zero reprecussions. Destiny didn't violate kicks guidelines, he just attacked the people they agree with.
they allowed people to stream actual porn to minors and didnt kick them off. i hate destiny, but this is just funny irt kick. they’re being the snowflakes they complain abt
Destiny got banned from twitch for being too right winged and kick suspended him for being too left winged. I disagree with alot of what he says but fair play to him for standing up for what he believes without pandering to one side or the other

I called 988, I wasn't in a place where I was going to do anything but my feelings were rock bottom. The lady I spoke to was the sweetest woman ever. I could tell she was working from home, juggling kids. I thanked her so much for hearing me and just being someone who understands. I thanked her for working as a first responder because I can imagine that the calls she gets all day aren't easy. We both got a little emotional with gratitude, and it kicked off an upward trend in my life. I've been doing so much better and I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to them if you need them, and if you end up getting a job as a first responder for 988, you're an absolute hero.
I'm glad you're doing better and I'm really glad the interaction went well for you, but the people who work for 988 are not trustworthy, they laugh about people once the phone call is over, as they did for me. I think it's dangerous to praise their organization when they did nothing to fix the problems that the national hotline has always had.
Your conversation partner sounds lovely, Im so happy you got what you needed too! Sometimes we just need to be seen, heard and understood, a lil bit help surviving the worst moments and reaching better headspace. This could be game-changer for seriously lonely people, who dont have regular contact to other humans. Awesome, I love that you have this option in the US too. And because Im part of police accountability community and seen too many mental health codes end in unnecessary arrest, manhandling, permanent harm and even death, this service is so much better option and obviously so needed. Im going to spread 988 from now on thru our community, this needs more awareness! Im done seeing the videos I keep seeing, almost on daily basis. Much love for inspiring me :)
Yea, so doing the bare minimum? You guys tried to cancel everyone for not agreeing with gay marriage, but now you want to act like opposing those that support assassination of a president is the same thing? 😂😂😂 gtfoh with that logic
I had a cousin come out as bi to her family, and her parent's response was to literally try to beat it out of her. I think the fact that there are kids who can't safely come out to their families is reason enough for them to have some protection of privacy. Many parents care more about how it affects their own perceived reputation as a parent, than the actual well-being of their child.
Everyone wants to talk about "parents rights" but the thing is that "children's rights to be alive" is more important. But conservatives really don't seem to care.
I spent my entire childhood and teen years terrified my parents would find out I am gay. After coming out to my mother as an adult, having myself and my husband ostracized and disowned by my family I can say I was 100% right to stay in the closet until I was safe.
I called 988 in the middle of a panic attack and the woman on the other end helped me so much. She spoke with me for about an hour and was very comforting. We practiced calming techniques together. I was hesitant to call at first but I’m glad I did.
When I was growing up, no one EVER threw a fit about students asking to be called nicknames, alternate names, etc. The first day of school, every teacher worth their salt would call names and ask if there was a nickname. It wasn’t a big deal if Alexander was Alex or Lexi or whatever as long as they weren’t trying to get called Megatron or Darth Vader.
Wild times man… there was a girl in my school called Alexa, people called her sometimes Alex, no big deal. Now your nickname needs to government approved…. Scary times man.
I mean, we had a guy everybody called "Taco" from like 3rd grade through high school - teachers were always apprehensive at first, but warmed up to it pretty quick
Thanks for talking about 988. As a Navy Vet I used this when I moved to Washington state 2 years ago and they expedited my ability to see a mental health provider when I needed it. The staff was really kind and let me just cry for awhile. Sometimes you just need to be heard. This is definitely a beneficial resource the VA actually needed. It’s worth every dime. I’m rehabilitated now. And thanks to those people I may not be here today.
Additionally the barrage of death threats Destiny took by popular streamers some even supported by Hassan , with zero action taken And now him making a joke or having an opinion is blasphemy - Every day we leap and gallop away from freedom of speech
its the most backwards thing he's done yet. first he says he won't accept being blackmailed or paid off to make the site more advertiser friendly, and now he says this like he's worried about it again. things can be sad but that doesn't stop the hate train and the heavy criticism of the public.
I can sympathize with his feelings...but people should think more carefully before they say something imo. Destiny is not saying anything I have not felt...but at the same time I have a filter and that means thinking beyond just a knee jerk feeling about what happens in politics. It is not valid criticism to me to suggest that we should suspend our humanity for those we don't agree with politicality rather than point out how unnecessary it is that those we disagree should be made to suffer.
I am a teacher who came from an abusive home: Parents of my students are important and included, but they are 3rd on my priority list. This list is based on distance from ME. 1st are students, 2nd is the school itself/other teachers and students/, and 3rd are parents. I live in a rural area and had multiple students ask to act differently/call them a different name amongst their parents due to fear. I am a parent of 3 myself, but I am also aware that many MANY students dont need their parents now, especially after they turn 18. My ultimate goal is to make them good adults by being able to make their own informed decisions. I want them to increase their own power, thats it.
Definitely not agreeing on the choice of words from Destiny, but I think it's wild how he got banned from Kick (temporarily) for *that*, while they have no problem leaving Groomers and Predators not only on the plattform, but they're even followed/supported by staff and leadership.
The only reason this factor has became news is cause of the words though isn’t it? If he had been traditionally calm and polite it wouldn’t have gone anywhere.
For the Amazon injuries segment, I was one of them. The way a manager described it was it being a constant workout routine for 10 hours straight. I remember one overnight shift I was trying my hardest to keep up with the absurdly fast rate and I had a sudden sharp pain go through my head and down my spine. All of a sudden, everything felt slower. My thoughts were slower, my movements were slower, my reflexes, everything felt like it was shutting down. I walked away from that job for the betterment of my health, but my cognitive ability hasn't been the same since.
I'm sorry you had to go through that at the hands of mass consumerism 😢! I shop online like everyone else for various reasons, mostly health issues that prevent me from going to the store, but I absolutely believe people deserve safe work environments and a liveable wage. Prayes of healing and success to you 🖤.
As someone who begrudgingly uses Amazon, but genuinely cares for safer working conditions, I’m really sorry for what you went through with Amazon as well.
I understand Destiny's anger over this and it's justified. Republicans, for years, have been pushing for this constantly but the moment someone, unabashedly, feels no sympathy for the thing they've been promoting...all of a sudden is awful and wrong. The anger is there, it's valid. What I would ask him to do, however, is to talk to non-political content creators about this. I think his biggest issue now is talking to people who'll bad faith the situation, people like Rubin who, as Phil pointed out, is complicit in the rhetoric. I'd like to see him talk to bigger content creators who aren't political but want to be educated on the subject on why the Republicans deserve no sympathy for this, especially since it was another Republican behind the whole thing.
@@srgtKrud Political violence and vitriolic rhetoric is a mainstay of the Right. You can try and "both sides" that, but a staggering majority of this comes from one side.
You sheep are advocating for murder, while cancel culture was trying to cancel people for making gay jokes. It’s insane that you guys are reaching this far to make a paper thin comparison.
Wtf with the focus of most comments here (not just this one). Yes, lets highlight the hipocrisy of some conservatives, or the dude's behaviour to go and cancel this woman (which I don't agree with btw), and just ignore the fact that said take, and Destiny's, basically give a pass, if not advocate, for political violence by literally wishing for a successful assasination attempt on not only the candidate, but one of his supporters. Let's point out the fact that conservatives did it first, so yeah, serves them right, and ignore the severity of the fact that your side is doing the same things you apparently seem to condemn.
@@user-op8fg3ny3jyeah but If you hear him talk about being banned from twitch he admits he should be banned. So I think he is okay with the consequences
Kick banning Destiny for "hate speech" is so wild - top streamers on the site spew actual violent, racist, misogynistic, and homophobic rhetoric and language all the time. Banning Destiny for hate speech over this is a clear and brazen demonstration of Kick's true beliefs as a company, not just the beliefs of its top streamers.
The talk about parental rights in this case is insane. It's not about the rights of parents here, it's about teachers not being required by law to snitch on their students who talk to them about things in confidence. If a student can't talk to their parents or teachers they are going to be alienated for both. It's to protect kids and give them a safe place they can talk through issues before they might go to their parents. It also means that if a student wants to be called by a nickname to try new things then teachers have to tell their parents that "little Samantha in my class told me that she wants to go by Sam now" which is insane
Teachers as representatives of the State, do not have the right to keep information from parents pertaining to their children. Parents are vested with the ability to exert the rights of their children until age of majority, but to do so must be aware of such to even do so. By allowing the State to hide activities, actions and information from parents you essentially gut the parents ability to do so. Governments must be transparent as can be, but particularly in instances where they have direct control and supervision of minors. Your intent may be well placed, but your methodology is flawed and the ramifications thereof dire.
@@darklelouchg8505 Ok but parents do not have the right to circumvent their child's autonomy through mandates that information that their child chose not to share with them must be disclosed to them. Teachers are only mandated reporters when it comes to information that is harmful to the a child or to others in regards to a child. That does not include a child questioning their gender identity, which is not directly harmful to a child or others in regards to a child, such as them wanting to harm another child. Parents right to act in the best interest of their child does not mean they have to know everything about their child at all times. Forced outing laws and practices only serve to strip children of their abilities to make decisions as to who they want to tell and when they want to tell things to. For instance a child tells their teacher they don't feel like a boy and would like to not be addressed as such is not an something a teacher has to report to parents. If the child wants their parents to know they will tell them. Also if teachers are agents of the government then why then do they have to report information of this nature to parents and not the state. It seems like people want teachers to be agents of parents in the classroom instead of doing their job and teaching.
@@darklelouchg8505nah, school calls if you don’t show up, they call if you misbehave. A lot of these laws are to specifically target LGBTQ children and supportive teachers. If you don’t know what your kids are doing day in and out what have you been doing as a parent? Why should teachers have to do more unpaid labor? We should pay teachers more and create less hostile environments for students.
@@darklelouchg8505 All of that is well and good if you have good/understanding parents. Unfortunately, not every kid has good parents and in some of those situations, information like this can very well cause the home life to be "dire".
@@darklelouchg8505 the parents could simply just ask the teacher, it's absurd to require parental permission for a student to go by Jonny instead of Jonathan, or Alex instead of Alexis. Or use they instead of she/he.
The so-called "veteran" at home depot sure doesn't sound like an actual vet. A true veteran knows who and what they enlisted for, and that's for the right for America and its inhabitants to be free and to uphold the American way. One of the absolute biggest things we hold dear in this country is our freedom of speech. The fact that this "veteran" targeted an elderly woman who used that right to say something he didn't like, silenced her, and had her lose her job for it is disappointing and sad. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a case of Stolen Valor, but if it isn't and he's a legit vet - I hope other vets saw this and denounced this man.
I hope the 988 line goes well. In the UK we have 111 (press 2) which takes you to your local helpline that links you to the crisis team. When I had a PTSD episode a couple of weeks ago, I called our crisis line & they stayed on the phone with me for 2 hours, never swapping callers and talking me out of a frantic state that could have escalated to self injury. They truly do save lives, wherever you are in the world, don’t be afraid to reach out ❤
@@Jordyb33123 You’re welcome nor did I until recent! Just call 111, it says press 2 for Mental Health, you’re immediately transferred to a local or rough area crisis line 🩷
It’s very hypocritical that one side can “joke” and make disgusting comments while the other side is supposed to be held at a higher standard. Breaking it down this was a former president we are talking about so I see the whole side of America however I feel like to even ask of that kind of loyalty, sympathy or support from people you have mocked and targeted is dumb plain and simple. 🤷🏻♂️ I shouldn’t have to avoid hurting your feelings while you can step on everyone else’s. I will say this, it doesn’t mean I or anyone should condone this kind of behavior from EITHER side and while I would expect people of certain caliber to uphold a better standard i would never believe you should punish any of them in anyway.
You are held at a higher standard if your whole moral and political ground is that those types of comments aren't allowed. It's as basic as it gets, two wrongs don't make a right.
The worst thing about this is that we haven't learned anything new about them. We knew they were hypocrites about "cancel culture" at least since Colin Kaepernick. I'm sure there were even examples concurrent with them starting to use that term.
@@99Plastics incorrect….. both sides have things that shouldn’t be said and they say them anyway this is freedom of speech…. The higher standard doesn’t come from your political beliefs it comes from the position of power. You should want people happy, healthy and able to pursue happiness in a way that doesn’t harm others intentionally or directly. This doesn’t mean anyone is “right” for making fun of anyone however you believe you can make fun of someone or do something while the other shouldn’t is wrong and I won’t support that.
Huh that's weird because Destiny is still on Twitter unlike all the conservatives that were banned from the platform entirely. All Elon did was demonize him he can still post about him getting cucked whenever he wants.
Conservative Christians have *always* been pro 'cancel culture'. See the satanic panic. How anyone takes these people seriously in any capacity is beyond me.
I worked for a crisis hotline for about a year around 2017. We were a local center with our own number, but also took calls from the national line. I’d like to think that I helped a lot of people. We had several regulars who we helped keep going. This reminded though that last year I was talking to someone who had recently lost a friend to suicide. I shared my experience with the hotline and she proceeded to shit all over me. She told me that we were awful and never helped anyone. Maybe I shouldn’t take it so personally, but that hurt a lot. Maybe we couldn’t save everyone, but I’m glad that resources like that exist. The reason why I wanted to work there is because I needed their help at one point. There’s no real point to this story. I’m just venting into the void. But I hope that the crisis line gets the funding it needs and continues to get better and more accessible to everyone.
I came close to texting one of those numbers. I’m glad they’re a resource given the world we live in now and lack of resources. It’s fucked and this wasn’t the America we were promised as kids. Your story matters and that work mattered. Thanks for sharing.
I did a report on Amazon's working conditions back in December of 2021, actually getting a chance to speak to and interview certain Amazon warehouse workers that I knew on the condition of anonymity. What I found was mildly horrifying. You're basically being worked to the bone in shitty warehouses where there might not even be working air conditioning, your location would be tracked via armbands and you were expected to keep working and only take a handful of breaks. In short, days in the warehouse were described by basically everyone I spoke to as being extremely boring yet extremely chaotic and stressful all at once. To quote one of the people I spoke to: "The job sucks, but it puts food on the table if you can put up with it. Otherwise, they're always hiring the next person available due to the high turnover."
My spouse worked at Amazon for 6 years and this is exactly what he described it as. He said they literally build in turnover as part of everything, they know what they're doing to people and they do not give a single shit.
I worked out of the Fernley, NV warehouse back in 2011 as a contractor. I was placed on medical leave for stress injuries to both of my knees. While on leave I was laid off. They then called me a few weeks later and asked if I was showing up for my shift. I had been homeless for ~5 years prior to this and told them I thought I was laid off but if not I'll be there the next day. They said they'd look into it and followup. Every day for a week they called back asking me if I was showing up. Every day I responded the same way. It was never cleared up.
What I found wild when I briefly worked there was coworkers who would defend Amazon conditions. I was working in the same situation as them. I've worked other factory jobs. I'm sure on some level the people who defended our treatment were being honest from their perspective. We had ac and the worst part was how hard the job was on your body there's certainly worse conditions even within the same warehouse. Those conditions were still awful. Their own basic decency was not respected. If someone tells you Amazon is treating them right, they're either coping, lying, or have never been treated well enough by a job to know that's just not true
dude thats were im at, like i have seen some absolute WILD ass shit from kick. And what destiny says is the line ? someone feelers got hurt at kick thats all that is lmao
Regarding that school bill, I went to high school in Indiana and was a member of the school's "Poetry Club." That's in quotes because even though we *did* create and share poetry, it also off-the-records served as a LGBT "safe space" and a mental health support group. The club was ran mostly by us students, while the teacher who "officially" ran the club sat in the back so anyone who needed an adult to talk to could go to her. Unfortunately, the city's school board passed an ordinance that a teacher who learned *any* student was LGBT or was possibly dealing with mental health issues *must* report that information to both the dean and that student's parents or face being terminated. This effectively disbanded the club. Our teacher actually admitted to us that she would never "snitch" on us, but we knew that there would always be a chance someone would let the wrong person know she wasn't snitching and she would lose her job, so we all decided to shut the club down.
Damn, that’s fucked. But I commend the teacher. I would have done the same to protect the kids from me, which is a weird thing to say. That is so sad. It reminds me of the Throne of Glass series I’m reading through, where they don’t want to know each others secrets, knowing the king might use that against them and kill them, jail them, or send them to the demon king to be turned in to a monster. I’d rather my sweet students not get sold out, when I ultimately get sold out by my district. I’m glad I’m not teaching anymore.
If you are the last person to find out your child is trans (or gay or whatever), that is not a failing of the child or whoever else they've told. That is a failure of your parenting. Your child knows you can't be trusted, that you will not respond with love and respect. Then to try and make everyone else in your child's life that they DO trust, to try to force them to betray that trust...Yeah, you've proven the kid's original assessment.
Forgive me for not believing that someone who has named children X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus, actually gives a shit about what is best for his children in the first place.
Sadly I felt the need to call 988 recently. As I'm Canadian it first asked me which language English or French. It then asked if I was under 18. And then it asked me if I was First Nations. After the promps it directed me to this very kind women who talked to me, empathized with me, heard me out, and looked up resorces for me as to where to find the specific help I needed. I think it is a very useful and much needed system.
@@Artliker1234Veterans aren’t just combat people. They just had to have active duty. It takes all kinds to support those in the field. There are more types of vets than just combat and wartime vet. Though, I don’t know anything about that person or their status.
About the cosmetic story, I think it's important to note how dangerous these procedures are becoming. With the higher demand and lax regulations there are many people out there taking advantage and causing harm in the name of a quick buck. Doctor Mike recently interviewed a young woman on his podcast who has been going through hell since getting some kind of injection a few years ago. She's been in and out of the hospital and on so many antibiotics they not only don't work anymore, but have caused more health problems. I can only imagine we'll be hearing more and more stories like this.

I have an 8-Year-Old and live in Florida. So I’ve seen basically the opposite side of this recent California bill. I was shocked to see her school library missing 40% of its books post the Don’t Say Gay bill passing (and subsequent bills). At the beginning of her second grade year my wife and I had to write down every nickname she was allowed to be called at school and would need to provide written approval if she was going to be called by another name or identification. I’m her parent, not a cult leader who wants to control every aspect of her existence and identity. I certainly don’t care what nicknames her friends and teacher call her at school. The teachers are doing their best, but education is a mess in Florida right now.
Why are books targeted at 8 year olds mentioning sexuality in the first place??? What is with this push towards letting children read sexualised media?…
I grew up in Ohio and moved to Florida in the 2nd grade and then finished all the way to tech school here as well... And it's the same story middle school high school and college was "thank God I got out now" I got before the shooting and just before the education system took a deep dive. An example me was the financial aid lady at my tech school was just pocketing all the aid from the students 😬

It actually makes destiny look really stupid to think a ex speaker of houses -husbands, naked friend with a hammer he invited into his kitchen to talk is the same as a presidential assassination. In fact I bet everyone laughed out loud like I did when destiny said the word “hypocritical”. As fucking if. No one can explain how it’s hypocritical. Literally no one can. Not you. Not Phil. Not destiny. No one can come up with a single reason for why it’s hypocritical. All they can do is use the word and hope no one researches the Paul polosi incident cause then they would see it has nothing to do with an attempted murder of an important person.
Anyone can go look at the court case, your retelling of the incident is fueled by conservative conspiracy bull. The leaked police phone call showed that Paul had no idea who the intruder was, the camera footage from the officers showed that he was not naked, he had shorts on, and literally every aspect of the story you’re talking about is hyper partisan twitter BS that proves destinys point.

Regarding the Bangladesh protests story: As a Bangladeshi, I really appreciate you covering this story. This is unlike most other protests in the nation's past: this generation of Bangladeshis are children of the internet. They've seen the world from their rooms, and they know that other nations wouldn't stand for baised ruling. These quotas do have some merits, but the way they're structured are highly outdated. I hope that my county's students make it through. 🇧🇩
The key thing is a lot of these kids protesting isn't even about the jobs themselves. the "freedom fighter" quota has always been used to sneak in whoever the fuck pays the most cause getting that certificate is a piece of cake as long as you have money but hell incarnate if you wanna do it the legal way. I had 2 uncles (who have sadly passed away) who were freedom fighters and only after my mom used her own government connections as a tax officer did my 2nd uncles kids finally get their certificate (They previously didn't get the certificate cause my uncles didn't want them as evryone knew who they were and they wanted the needy to get them as it was originally intended for)
I'm a bisexual Texan. I was never taught about sexuality, I grew up in a Catholic neighborhood and never talked about my attraction to men. I thought i was gay, because I only knew gay or straight. Since I thought I was gay, I wasn't sure how my mom, my dad, my brothers and sisters would react. I kept it in and hid it, I talked about it only at school because I had heard families disowning gay children and my homophobic classmates told me if they had gay children they'd beat or kill them and one deeply religious girl and her boyfriend condemned me to hell and called me slurs to my face, but I didn't mind losing friends as long as I didn't lose my family. I told some of my teachers and friends I trusted. Thankfully, none of them told my parents, but in my junior year I eventually told my mom and sisters on my own terms, they were accepting of me and my older brother learned eventually, but to this day I never told my dad. As a queer teen, I'm grateful I never got outed to my family until I was ready. I legit feared I'd lose them if they found out, but thankfully most of my family was accepting. However I know that isn't everyone and some people have legit fears of coming out especially to their family
I am an Air Force veteran and graduated High School in 2000. My family are very VERY evangelical Christians and my father would talk about when he was school if someone got caught “being gay” that they would beat the shot out of them. Also I grew up and saw the actions of the men who killed Matthew Shepherd. I say all of that because back when I was just a toddler maybe 5 or 6 I remember being in Sunday school and having a crush on a kid who was the same age and who I knew pretty well, but I didn’t know it was “bad” to have that crush. Fast forward to around 1994 and internally I knew I was gay but I’ve always struggled with that because I still am a Christian but apparently not a proper one anymore, anyways, I struggle because my whole family have seen me dress up in my younger sisters dresses and by the time I was a freshman in High school I knew that I was gay but also that god made me that way for a reason because I can definitely say that I was born gay. My sister knew and told me that she’d keep it a secret for me and that worked until all my friends and other classmates all knew without me having to say it out loud. My senior year I felt it was time to tell my mom and when I did she told me that I had two weeks to find a place of my own and that I had to move out. Since then we still talk and now my dad and younger brother know, even my grandparents knew but have been much more caring than my parents but to this day we have a rocky relationship because they want me to change and even though I tried being straight during high school, after high school, before the Air Force and after the Air Force I just felt like it was all a lie and that I wasn’t being me. I’m glad that the younger generations have benefited from the hard work that our activism has created but I really fear for the future. I Also glad that your family has been supportive towards you, it’s always nice to hear that.
@@nobodyj-pf8uk he has these weirdly- strong/ lefty-social beliefs while being a stanch bootstrap capitalist . Very economically on the right. It’s the opposite of what this country needs and is against young people’s interest. Mostly talking about his right views but some left. Also his views on 🇮🇱 are insane. Both the left and right in this country disagree with him on that issue and for good reason
As a former Amazon employee, I definitely believe those stats. Amazon doesn't really care about its employees. I worked in Fluid Load (which is loading the Semi), and almost every night someone went to wellness because a wall fell on them or some other injury. It wasn't till I was leaving that they changed the wall height requirement and the machines (which in my opinion the machines made it more dangerous). Also when I got hurt and a wall almost fell on me because they didn't train the employee correctly (which is in most cases), I had to beg them to report it! All in all, I'm happy to be out of that sweatshop!
The doxxing story just reminds me that, no matter what my opinion is, I’m better off keeping it to myself than posting it online. Wait, is this online? Oh no, what have I done?!
@@MG-me7iw we know the literal meaning of freedom of speech, but conservatives complain and bitch all the time about “censorship of their freedom of speech“ on social media sites all the time. But as soon as they don’t like speech, they’re first in line at the cancel culture brigade.
Not condoning Destiny's comments whatsoever, but for Elon (the self proclaimed last line of defence to free speech) suddenly claiming that Destiny's speech is too far. I don't know if i should find it funnier because of the irony or because he isn't even trying to hide the hypocrisy anymore

@@MasculineIdeal I’ve never heard of Destiny before this story today. This might seem impossible for you because you can’t do it. But you can condemn someone for what they said about someone else while you condemn what someone else has said.

@@RJLiams You're focusing on what you think is conserrvative hypocrisy when it's not. It's called deflecting.

Why don't you look for the hypocrisy there?????
I'm grateful for services like 988 today. At 51, as a first-gen Mexican American, I was taught that men shouldn't show emotions, and I didn't accept mental health as an issue for years. As a teen, I'd randomly call people from the white pages (a book of phone numbers for the younger folks). I'd start with, "Hello, you don't know me, and I don't know you, but I'm not feeling well and need someone to talk to." Surprisingly, many strangers listened to me talk about my emotions and struggles, often late at night. There was a sense of security in knowing they wouldn't judge me. I wasn't suicidal, but I had no one to share my feelings with. I feel that some of those strangers saved me. I am happy to hear that there is help for those that need it.
As a mom of two I would like to know what gives me as a parent more rights than my children? Why should I get more rights to their lives than they do? No parent owns their children, nor do they own the rights to make their children live a life they choose. You can guide and advise and give your best ideas, most likely also having rules while they are young and need your experiential knowledge to stay safe, but ultimately they are their own person, not your property. It is also most likely that these parents whose kids aren't ready to talk to them come from household with strict judgements about different lifestyles from their own, and therefore these kids will keep this part away from their parents for as long as possible. It is also insane to expect teachers to step into these kinds of messes.
Although I don't really agree with the way Destiny is going about it, I completely understand his vitriol. For years the right has been openly mocking political violence when it happens to anyone on the left. From the example of Paul Palosi shown on stream to Ryan Carson, 31 year old progressive activist was attacked and stabbed TO DEATH in New York last year. It's actually crazy to see the double standards online. The problem is the left holds their own side to a higher standard, while condemning the right for rolling in the mud. While on the other hand, the right hand waves the mud rolling and then condemns the left when they do anything even remotely out of line. It's a classic rules for thee but not for me situation. You can even see a classic example of this in the exact Piers video where Dave Rubin asks Destiny if he will condemn the violent actors in BLM to which Destiny replies yes, then he asks Dave if he'll condemn the violence at Jan6th to which Dave starts to try to make excuses. It happens in real. Time.
urgh my god it's so true, and whenever you point out the hypocrisy "it's just different" like no it's not it's just your people and you don't wanna admit it.
I fully agree with how he is going about this. It is exposing major hypocrisy. And he's doing it on a big platform, so there won't be a lot of ways for some folks to hide after this.
All i see on tiktok are videos and comments from conservatives saying dumb things like” you better be ready for this war” “Dont start something you cant finish “ “You just declared war to america “ So yeah 😂
@@darklelouchg8505 The Home Depot woman in this video didn't film herself. Some weirdo stalked her on Facebook, traveled who knows how many miles to stalk her at her work, and then filmed her without her consent and posted it online. Then the same person who cried about being doxxed herself doxxed this woman to millions of people because she didn't like what she said on Facebook to her friends.
None of the people on that panel have consistently shown the proper respect to victims of political violence, and they are all wrong for that, but there is still a difference. Destiny doesn't demand respect for people he agrees with, so he's at least consistent. The other three are all happy to be disrespectful to people they disagree with, while demanding the utmost respect for their allies. There's no "winner" there, but at least Destiny isn't a hypocrite.
He 100% is hypocritical, is he a fan of people making fun of the attack on Pelosi's husband or did he condemn that in the very clip included here? He does exactly the thing he's accusing conservatives of.
Conservatism is the school of political thought where one believes they should be protected but not bound by law, and everyone else should be bound but not protected.
It’s basically a might makes right philosophy. They want the ability to oppress others, but if anyone ever gives them back their own medicine, then they’ll cry about it because they understand that their opponents play by different rules and are more respectful. Basically conservatives are like freeza from Dragon Ball Z.
It is absolutely critical that this law is enacted to keep kids safe. It’s soooo dangerous to out kids to their families. I am an employee of a California school district, and I am the parent of a non binary kid. My kid had a trusted teacher to talk to and to be out to, until they felt comfortable talking to me. I am so grateful for that staff member who is also a co-worker for respecting my kid and for valuing their safety over my feelings. As an employee myself I would quit my job (that I absolutely love) if someone wanted to force me to out a student,I would never knowingly put a child at risk like that.
On destiny and others. Freedom of speech is freedom to offend and be offended. I don’t agree with what they said but it’s their actual right to say it.
"as a veteran, I'm disgusted! What have you provided to this country?" this from someone who has taken more than most from said country. the hypocrisy is amazing.

@@joshuagonzalez5959saying the same shite on a different comment doesn't make you more right. What about the consequences for the hundreds of people at Jan 6th?

@@joshuagonzalez5959 Literally doesn't apply. He's not contradicting himself. Republicans are being hypocrites, the one who claim to hate cancel culture, yet are using it against regular citizens instead of the usual public figures that liberals and others use it on.
Most of the conservatives or centrists I've seen agree that Destiny shouldn't have been suspended from Kick. We believe in free speech at the conceptual level.
I really don't understand how Amazon gets away with such obvious lies. "Our injury rate has improved greatly, but we can't provide any evidence that it has." This is so simple. Either, you don't have any data on your recent incident rate, in which case you're lying. Or, you have data showing your incident rate, that you don't want to share, in which case, you're lying. I can't believe that making these statements doesn't get them held in contempt.
My previous building has an ongoing LNI investigation for being the building in the Amazon network with the most injuries and they got in trouble for letting a pdf file take peoples family and friends on tours. An associate is legitimately having custody over her child called into question because her ex-husband found out their kid was taken on a tour with said pdf file.
As awkward as it feels, I agree with Destiny's take. I think his entire point is that he has no sympathy for people who are supporting a person (Trump) who tried to incite an insurrection of the country that he genuinely loves. People are hyper-focusing on the fact that the guy who was shot is an "innocent firefighter", but for half of that description I imagine Destiny would not consider supporting an insurrectionist to be an innocent stance. I would personally add that someone's job does not absolve them from any immoral actions or statements. Many people in my family are or were firefighters, yet half of them were alcoholics, unfaithful to their wives, or physically and emotionally abusive (or all of the above). We've built some professions up over the years as paragons of virtue in our society, but we forget that the people working in those professions are not saints. They're normal people and they are just as fallible as the rest of us. So while I don't necessarily agree with the way Destiny is going about it on Twitter, I completely understand the sentiment he has expressed on his own stream and on the Piers show. The conservative voices in media, especially alternative media, have been extremely antagonistic, violent, dehumanizing, and dishonest for the entirety of Trump's political timeline. Now they're finally seeing what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that kind of rhetoric and, surprise surprise, it doesn't feel good. One other thing Destiny mentions is that the left has tried for so long to take the moral high ground and not resort to this kind of rhetoric or underhanded tactics. However, this has provided them with none of the benefits and all of the drawbacks. They are not motivating their voters to either vote for them or vote against they're opponents. Meanwhile, the high temp conservative rhetoric and sketchy tactics have given them all of benefits and none of the drawbacks. Look at January 6, the attack on Pelosi's husband, the culture war issues (transgender, crt, vaccines), etc. They will take zero responsibility for anything negative that came of the volatile rhetoric they employed on those topics, but were actually gleeful to reap the rewards, aka emotionally charged voters. Ultimately, I think Destiny is tired of the hypocrisy from the right and is in a unique position where he is relatively insulated from the massive amount of pushback he'll get on this. I imagine the dude probably has enough money to stop streaming and chill out very comfortably for the rest of his life, but this topic obviously matters enough to him that he would risk all of it to speak his truth and his values. With all of that in mind, I don't think this is as crazy as people are making it out to be.
When i worked at a sleep away camp back in 2019 we were told as part of our training to tell our supervisors (who would contact the parents) if we noticed anything was up with the campers or if they told us anything--like if they came out. And while I undetstand that things like bullying or an eating disorder should absolutely be told to parents, I remembered being a camper at that very camp and dealing with so much homophobia as an openly queer kid. Imagine opening up to a trusted adult about your sexuality, something that isnt hurting you or anyone else, and that adult breaking your trust and outing you to your parents. Even if your parents arent the type to punish you for your sexuality, being robbed of the ability to tell them yourself is horrible. I completely refused to follow that rule, but i did little things like wear gay pins that made it clear they were not alone, even if they never wanted to talk to me about it.
I love the bill! It was terrifying growing up scared 24/7 someone would find out I was a lesbian. If anyone found out and told my family their religion (the cult of 19:32 Jehovah’s witnesses) would force them to kick me out and treat me like I’m dead. My mother often let me know gleefully that she would absolutely do that, no questions or tears. Growing up in perpetual fear never being able to trust anyone screws a person up for life. Having a teacher to turn to and knowing you’d be okay could be a lifeline a child needs
Well, cruelty is their point. They want these children to suffer. In their twisted minds, they think the abuse and suffering will somehow "cure" them of being LGBTQ+. It's frankly terrifying that there's so many parents who don't treat their children as actual human beings with agency. ☹️🤦♀️
I think Phil's team needs to rethink the "this is how people are responding online" angle when they're exclusively using Twitter which pushes the paid blue checkmarks to the top of all replies
I hate that the world we live in that a simple comment, or statement or even a question online can get you harassed, embarrassed, and verbally assaulted while at work and on top of that it gets you fired.

I came out as transgender at school 7 months before I came out at home (2016). It was not safe to be out at home and I had to wait until my grandpa passed in order to do so. Being out at school my senior year gave me some of my sanity back and those types of laws make it even harder for trans kids to live safely and feel cared for.
But why? Why are you trans? You cannot become what you “identify” as just by thinking you are one… I cannot become 7 because I “feel” 7. I cannot become black because I “feel” black. I cannot become 6 ft because I “feel” 6 ft… Why is it that gender is mutable? What gives you the justification to suggest you know what it’s like to be the opposite sex when you’re biologically not?
The story that hit me the hardest was the School Board story. I am a person who has had to deal with bullying, and the fear of being outed to family when I am not ready to come out. I worry every day that when I do, I will be ejected from their life, and I am an adult! Imagine how a kid feels. Especially because they will either have to deny it, or worry about being beaten to within an a second of their life leaving them. I know the fear that some of these kids have, because I have and had those concerns with my own family. It is also indicative that they want complete control of their kids, and view them as their property with the language they use. "It is MY right as a parent to know everything going on with MY kid!" Granted, how else are you supposed to describe them besides as yours, but the thought associated with that is that the parent owns them in their entirety.
Destiny cares more about showing others hypocrisy than bundling the message in a principle way. But his rudeness is getting his point being talked about. He is not the Destiny we want, but he is the Destiny we all deserve.
"I spend 2500 a week at Home Depot" That's hilariously small honestly. Like, that's the type of thing a mid sized new residential painter will spend in a day
Also, the idea that a competent general contractor regularly purchases large amounts of material from home Depot shows how bad of a contractor that guy is. Home Depot is massively overpriced and I've never worked for a single company that would regularly buy anything from them. One time in an emergency in an out-of-town job we got two pallets of ceiling tile from them and they were massively overpriced and in relatively poor condition
The Home Depot situation was doxxing, but I'm a retail worker too and I know not to post things like that on social media. We get told that those things can get us fired if the company finds out. I'm sorry that she had to go through all of that, especially being hunted down and confronted at work. Retail workers have to deal with a lot of idiots, and you could see on her face that she's used to being yelled at by customers. The repercussions she faced is the reason why I don't things like that. It'd be too easy for the wrong person from my work to see it and get me fired for it. Sadly, this may also make finding a new job even harder for her, but I wish her the best of luck with moving past this.
@@danielleoliver1734 also true lol. But, I always found it weird to say the most outlandish stuff on your public profile with your picture. I just don't get the logic.
Two things are true: Destiny is absolutely right about his overall point about conservatives being hypocrites. And Destiny shouldn't have said the things he did, at least in that way. There was a better way to make his point.
Sure, there are better ways to make a point. But in this age of rage-bait engagement, it will be drowned out. Unfortunately, for better or worse, he is playing the game exactly as designed by the social media giants.
Over the last few years he has been overly civil to the right to the point that the entire left has said he is one of them he tried and saw no real progress, if anything they would just get a level of validation for talking to him they don't deserve
@@paz1514uh what? I never agreed with cancel culture either. I'm saying they are hypocrites for doing it themselves now And it's much more aggressive than ever
What is your contention? Are you saying that private businesses should not have the right to leave a state due to policies. How are state rights infringed if a company leaves which many companies are doing.
@@akhost3929Their contention seems to be that conservatives use the “states rights” argument when it suits their narrative, while fighting against a states rights when they disagree with it, like gun laws, abortion (considering conservatives are suggesting a federal ban) and Project 2025
The crazy thing about the Destiny situation is that all these platforms that have banned, or demonetized him continue to GREENLIGHT the using of homophobic and racist slurs (f and g slur) towards him, allow doxing him, his son and son's mother, and threats of violence against him and his family. Not only has this rhetoric been celebrated by these influencers, and continues to happen, there has been no action by the platforms who host them, let alone any consequences. Destiny tells an edgy joke and all of a sudden we think words should have consequences? This isn't just hypocrisy, this is intentional.
When Destiny said F him about the fireman and then doubled down in the piers thing….he wasn’t joking…he was very clear about that. Either way Destiny shouldn’t be getting doxed, especially his family that are innocent bystanders…
Amazon worker here. It’s obscenely hot in the building I work, they have giant fans on the roof that aren’t on cause “electrical reasons” and there’s not enough fans for each station.
I loved that the psychologist said that just because you're being candid about your cosmetic habits, that doesn't make them any better. Admitting the problem is just step one. People want a medal for step one and forget to do all the other steps.
"Parents have the right to know what's happening to their children" when all the law does is not allow admin to snitch on parents about their kids choices. If parents want to know what their kids are up about, why not just ask them? Have conversations? Why do kids have to lie to their parents and be their real person in school or outside their home? Isn't that a better question?
Yes! I think the same thing goes with the book banning going on because people don’t want their kids reading something “adult”. Instead of limiting all of society to your definition of “adult”, just have a conversation with your kids. Parent them.
@@Hangrid1 amazing how the groomers expectation is to talk to their kids about something that the teacher who's usually part of the grooming is withholding from them.
I remember after I got fired from a job I called 988 because I was far away from family and wasn't certain whether I would get evicted from my apartment. I was 25 and it was the first tiime i'd been on my own in a few years post-pandemic and graduating college. I was on the phone with a live person in under a minute.. calling at 2am probably helped.. they really walked me out of some dark thoughts. So glad it exists.
Phil, thank you for talking about 988. My brother introduced me to your show over 12 years ago and I lost him 10 years ago to suicide. I don't think anything could have saved him but if 988 can save even one person, it's an amazing service. Thank you for highlighting the good it does even at the cost of the burnout. Love ya face Phil
I worked at the Amazon warehouse in Kansas City for over 2 years. It was hell there; the building was hot all year round. Managers refused to add more fans. Forced overtime, especially during the prime week and what they consider "Peak season." "Peak" is around 8 weeks, and my typical 4-day, 10-hour shift work week was changed to a 5-day, 11-hour work week. The rates they expect are crazy for one person to do, for example (600 items an hour in stow, 400 items an hour in pick, 200 items an hour in pack, 1200 items an hour in (can't remember what this one is called it's part of sort side in pack), 600 items per hour in sort.) Given all of this, I'm 100 percent not surprised by the report on Amazon. They could improve things by making sure the temperatures in the warehouse are bearable and by lowering the rate they expect. I can guarantee that most of the injuries that happen there are caused by trying to reach these high rates.
Props to Phillip for accurately portraying Destiny, he showed clips of his reasoning and explaining them in a neutral way and not just his takes out of context like most people would
According to some of my mutuals who stream on kick, the unspoken rule of kick is that "the only rule is don't piss off a staff member". Basically the only way you can get kicked from kick is if someone from kick notices you and decides to give you the boot.
God all those parents freaking out about the thought their kid could not wanna tell them things are the same parents who wonder why their kids left home as soon as possible and why they never wanna visit them.
The people who want these laws are the sort of helicopter parents who would absolutely know if their kid was trans or wanting to use different pronouns. They want the laws so they can punish their kids for doing something at school that they have been told not to do at home. They also fully think that if they 'catch it early' a therapist will make their kids cis and straight.
I feel like this is an over generalization of the people concerned with this and why, yes in some cases you may be correct bad parenting can alienate children, but contrary to that bad mentorship or grooming can alienate children from their loved ones. In any case it seems like a violation of guardianship, most schools/curriculums are out of date and teachers are ill equipped and struggle to deal with even a base level of education for children today, so why would we assume they could reliably and responsibly take on such an important and impactful role especially given the brief nature of their interactions with young students.
@@ollie3743the level of interaction that teacher have with kids is a lot. Like from the age of 5-18 student are in school 8 hours a day and in earlier grades the student tend to stay with one teacher instead of moving around from class to class. So teachers interact with students sometimes more than their own parents. Also that's a problem with school funding and not with teachers. Plus parents don't have a right to know what kids chose to go by out in the world even at school. If a child wants to called by a nickname or another name all together at school that's fine. If it lets them continue to learn and grow than I don't see the problem with just going with it as long as it's not profane in language. Like a parent shouldn't be medaling in the classroom on this level. It makes teachers less able to do their jobs if they are constantly afraid of going to jail because parents want to know if their child was breathing to loudly.
@ollie3743 I'm not sure if you're a parent or not, but I am. I think any parent that is for forced outing policies should reflect on their relationship with their child. Think less about their "rights" as a parent and more about their "responsibilities" as a parent. I know responsibilities is a much longer, heavier word. However, they need to spend more time on why the person they're raising doesn't feel safe telling them that information and less on how they can get schools to abuse their children on their behalf.
@@ollie3743 Nobody who actually supports LGBT students thinks they non-LGBT kids can be groomed into it that is something that Christian Nationalist leaders have completely invented and told to their followers.
I have been working at 988, on the lgbtq+ youth line for a year and a half now. As much as I love connecting with those in need, burnout is real. It gets hard going in to work some days but the work we do is rewarding in it's own right. Huge love to my other counclers on the line. I hope we can figure something out so we can reach even more people. Thank you for sharing our number as well❤
If you have done something that makes it so your child doesn't feel comfortable coming to you about a preferred name change, then 9 times out of ten, you've lost your right to be a parent, IMHO.
Those "parents" care far more about their perceived rights over what they view as an object, instead of the responsibilities they have for the person they're raising.

I called 988, I wasn't in a place where I was going to do anything but my feelings were rock bottom. The lady I spoke to was the sweetest woman ever. I could tell she was working from home, juggling kids. I thanked her so much for hearing me and just being someone who understands. I thanked her for working as a first responder because I can imagine that the calls she gets all day aren't easy. We both got a little emotional with gratitude, and it kicked off an upward trend in my life. I've been doing so much better and I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to them if you need them, and if you end up getting a job as a first responder for 988, you're an absolute hero.
Thanks for sharing this with us. This sounds like such a sweet interaction. Glad go hear you're doing better 🤍
I'm glad you're doing better and I'm really glad the interaction went well for you, but the people who work for 988 are not trustworthy, they laugh about people once the phone call is over, as they did for me. I think it's dangerous to praise their organization when they did nothing to fix the problems that the national hotline has always had.
Thanks for sharing.
Your conversation partner sounds lovely, Im so happy you got what you needed too! Sometimes we just need to be seen, heard and understood, a lil bit help surviving the worst moments and reaching better headspace. This could be game-changer for seriously lonely people, who dont have regular contact to other humans. Awesome, I love that you have this option in the US too.
And because Im part of police accountability community and seen too many mental health codes end in unnecessary arrest, manhandling, permanent harm and even death, this service is so much better option and obviously so needed. Im going to spread 988 from now on thru our community, this needs more awareness! Im done seeing the videos I keep seeing, almost on daily basis. Much love for inspiring me :)

I had a cousin come out as bi to her family, and her parent's response was to literally try to beat it out of her. I think the fact that there are kids who can't safely come out to their families is reason enough for them to have some protection of privacy. Many parents care more about how it affects their own perceived reputation as a parent, than the actual well-being of their child.
So well put and so important
I hope your cousin got somewhere safe and is okay.
Everyone wants to talk about "parents rights" but the thing is that "children's rights to be alive" is more important. But conservatives really don't seem to care.
@@rumpeltyltskyn I think that's the children vs youth rights conflict right there.
I spent my entire childhood and teen years terrified my parents would find out I am gay.
After coming out to my mother as an adult, having myself and my husband ostracized and disowned by my family I can say I was 100% right to stay in the closet until I was safe.
I called 988 in the middle of a panic attack and the woman on the other end helped me so much. She spoke with me for about an hour and was very comforting. We practiced calming techniques together. I was hesitant to call at first but I’m glad I did.
When I was growing up, no one EVER threw a fit about students asking to be called nicknames, alternate names, etc. The first day of school, every teacher worth their salt would call names and ask if there was a nickname. It wasn’t a big deal if Alexander was Alex or Lexi or whatever as long as they weren’t trying to get called Megatron or Darth Vader.
Wild times man… there was a girl in my school called Alexa, people called her sometimes Alex, no big deal. Now your nickname needs to government approved…. Scary times man.
Hell, my name was so odd in the US that my 3rd grade teacher was ok with me using "Mario" as my nickname (Nintendo kid here)
@OlaAremu Mario is a normal name. It's an Italian boy's name. I know plenty of people named Mario.
@@Cam-wm6eh they changed their name to Mario because it was more commong then their original name
I mean, we had a guy everybody called "Taco" from like 3rd grade through high school - teachers were always apprehensive at first, but warmed up to it pretty quick
Thanks for talking about 988. As a Navy Vet I used this when I moved to Washington state 2 years ago and they expedited my ability to see a mental health provider when I needed it. The staff was really kind and let me just cry for awhile. Sometimes you just need to be heard. This is definitely a beneficial resource the VA actually needed. It’s worth every dime. I’m rehabilitated now. And thanks to those people I may not be here today.
Elon whinging about Destiny's comments not being advertising-friendly is hilariously ironic to me.

And now him making a joke or having an opinion is blasphemy
-
Every day we leap and gallop away from freedom of speech
its the most backwards thing he's done yet. first he says he won't accept being blackmailed or paid off to make the site more advertiser friendly, and now he says this like he's worried about it again. things can be sad but that doesn't stop the hate train and the heavy criticism of the public.
Elon likes posts about the "jew problem" but Destiny is going too far 😂
I can sympathize with his feelings...but people should think more carefully before they say something imo.
Destiny is not saying anything I have not felt...but at the same time I have a filter and that means thinking beyond just a knee jerk feeling about what happens in politics.
It is not valid criticism to me to suggest that we should suspend our humanity for those we don't agree with politicality rather than point out how unnecessary it is that those we disagree should be made to suffer.

I am a teacher who came from an abusive home:
Parents of my students are important and included, but they are 3rd on my priority list. This list is based on distance from ME. 1st are students, 2nd is the school itself/other teachers and students/, and 3rd are parents.
I live in a rural area and had multiple students ask to act differently/call them a different name amongst their parents due to fear.
I am a parent of 3 myself, but I am also aware that many MANY students dont need their parents now, especially after they turn 18. My ultimate goal is to make them good adults by being able to make their own informed decisions. I want them to increase their own power, thats it.

For the Amazon injuries segment, I was one of them. The way a manager described it was it being a constant workout routine for 10 hours straight. I remember one overnight shift I was trying my hardest to keep up with the absurdly fast rate and I had a sudden sharp pain go through my head and down my spine. All of a sudden, everything felt slower. My thoughts were slower, my movements were slower, my reflexes, everything felt like it was shutting down. I walked away from that job for the betterment of my health, but my cognitive ability hasn't been the same since.
I'm sorry you had to go through that at the hands of mass consumerism 😢! I shop online like everyone else for various reasons, mostly health issues that prevent me from going to the store, but I absolutely believe people deserve safe work environments and a liveable wage. Prayes of healing and success to you 🖤.
As someone who begrudgingly uses Amazon, but genuinely cares for safer working conditions, I’m really sorry for what you went through with Amazon as well.

@@aFoxyFox. Also curious. It sounds like a blood clot, almost. Or maybe spinal cord damage?

I understand Destiny's anger over this and it's justified. Republicans, for years, have been pushing for this constantly but the moment someone, unabashedly, feels no sympathy for the thing they've been promoting...all of a sudden is awful and wrong. The anger is there, it's valid. What I would ask him to do, however, is to talk to non-political content creators about this. I think his biggest issue now is talking to people who'll bad faith the situation, people like Rubin who, as Phil pointed out, is complicit in the rhetoric. I'd like to see him talk to bigger content creators who aren't political but want to be educated on the subject on why the Republicans deserve no sympathy for this, especially since it was another Republican behind the whole thing.
Seems like he’s making a video essay about it.

The talk about parental rights in this case is insane. It's not about the rights of parents here, it's about teachers not being required by law to snitch on their students who talk to them about things in confidence. If a student can't talk to their parents or teachers they are going to be alienated for both. It's to protect kids and give them a safe place they can talk through issues before they might go to their parents. It also means that if a student wants to be called by a nickname to try new things then teachers have to tell their parents that "little Samantha in my class told me that she wants to go by Sam now" which is insane
Teachers as representatives of the State, do not have the right to keep information from parents pertaining to their children.
Parents are vested with the ability to exert the rights of their children until age of majority, but to do so must be aware of such to even do so. By allowing the State to hide activities, actions and information from parents you essentially gut the parents ability to do so.
Governments must be transparent as can be, but particularly in instances where they have direct control and supervision of minors. Your intent may be well placed, but your methodology is flawed and the ramifications thereof dire.
@@darklelouchg8505 Ok but parents do not have the right to circumvent their child's autonomy through mandates that information that their child chose not to share with them must be disclosed to them. Teachers are only mandated reporters when it comes to information that is harmful to the a child or to others in regards to a child. That does not include a child questioning their gender identity, which is not directly harmful to a child or others in regards to a child, such as them wanting to harm another child.
Parents right to act in the best interest of their child does not mean they have to know everything about their child at all times. Forced outing laws and practices only serve to strip children of their abilities to make decisions as to who they want to tell and when they want to tell things to. For instance a child tells their teacher they don't feel like a boy and would like to not be addressed as such is not an something a teacher has to report to parents. If the child wants their parents to know they will tell them. Also if teachers are agents of the government then why then do they have to report information of this nature to parents and not the state. It seems like people want teachers to be agents of parents in the classroom instead of doing their job and teaching.
@@darklelouchg8505nah, school calls if you don’t show up, they call if you misbehave.
A lot of these laws are to specifically target LGBTQ children and supportive teachers. If you don’t know what your kids are doing day in and out what have you been doing as a parent?
Why should teachers have to do more unpaid labor?
We should pay teachers more and create less hostile environments for students.
@@darklelouchg8505 All of that is well and good if you have good/understanding parents. Unfortunately, not every kid has good parents and in some of those situations, information like this can very well cause the home life to be "dire".
@@darklelouchg8505 the parents could simply just ask the teacher, it's absurd to require parental permission for a student to go by Jonny instead of Jonathan, or Alex instead of Alexis. Or use they instead of she/he.
The so-called "veteran" at home depot sure doesn't sound like an actual vet. A true veteran knows who and what they enlisted for, and that's for the right for America and its inhabitants to be free and to uphold the American way. One of the absolute biggest things we hold dear in this country is our freedom of speech. The fact that this "veteran" targeted an elderly woman who used that right to say something he didn't like, silenced her, and had her lose her job for it is disappointing and sad. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a case of Stolen Valor, but if it isn't and he's a legit vet - I hope other vets saw this and denounced this man.

I worked for a crisis hotline for about a year around 2017. We were a local center with our own number, but also took calls from the national line. I’d like to think that I helped a lot of people. We had several regulars who we helped keep going. This reminded though that last year I was talking to someone who had recently lost a friend to suicide. I shared my experience with the hotline and she proceeded to shit all over me. She told me that we were awful and never helped anyone. Maybe I shouldn’t take it so personally, but that hurt a lot. Maybe we couldn’t save everyone, but I’m glad that resources like that exist. The reason why I wanted to work there is because I needed their help at one point. There’s no real point to this story. I’m just venting into the void. But I hope that the crisis line gets the funding it needs and continues to get better and more accessible to everyone.
Even if you say there was no real point, thank you for sharing, and thank you for putting the time in to help. 💖

I did a report on Amazon's working conditions back in December of 2021, actually getting a chance to speak to and interview certain Amazon warehouse workers that I knew on the condition of anonymity.
What I found was mildly horrifying.
You're basically being worked to the bone in shitty warehouses where there might not even be working air conditioning, your location would be tracked via armbands and you were expected to keep working and only take a handful of breaks.
In short, days in the warehouse were described by basically everyone I spoke to as being extremely boring yet extremely chaotic and stressful all at once.
To quote one of the people I spoke to: "The job sucks, but it puts food on the table if you can put up with it. Otherwise, they're always hiring the next person available due to the high turnover."
My spouse worked at Amazon for 6 years and this is exactly what he described it as. He said they literally build in turnover as part of everything, they know what they're doing to people and they do not give a single shit.
There were articles about Amazon just running out of people in certain areas due to turnover, its insane
'mildly horrifying' sounds like an amazing contradiction.
I worked out of the Fernley, NV warehouse back in 2011 as a contractor.
I was placed on medical leave for stress injuries to both of my knees. While on leave I was laid off.
They then called me a few weeks later and asked if I was showing up for my shift. I had been homeless for ~5 years prior to this and told them I thought I was laid off but if not I'll be there the next day. They said they'd look into it and followup.
Every day for a week they called back asking me if I was showing up. Every day I responded the same way. It was never cleared up.
What I found wild when I briefly worked there was coworkers who would defend Amazon conditions.
I was working in the same situation as them. I've worked other factory jobs. I'm sure on some level the people who defended our treatment were being honest from their perspective. We had ac and the worst part was how hard the job was on your body there's certainly worse conditions even within the same warehouse.
Those conditions were still awful. Their own basic decency was not respected.
If someone tells you Amazon is treating them right, they're either coping, lying, or have never been treated well enough by a job to know that's just not true

Regarding that school bill, I went to high school in Indiana and was a member of the school's "Poetry Club." That's in quotes because even though we *did* create and share poetry, it also off-the-records served as a LGBT "safe space" and a mental health support group. The club was ran mostly by us students, while the teacher who "officially" ran the club sat in the back so anyone who needed an adult to talk to could go to her.
Unfortunately, the city's school board passed an ordinance that a teacher who learned *any* student was LGBT or was possibly dealing with mental health issues *must* report that information to both the dean and that student's parents or face being terminated. This effectively disbanded the club. Our teacher actually admitted to us that she would never "snitch" on us, but we knew that there would always be a chance someone would let the wrong person know she wasn't snitching and she would lose her job, so we all decided to shut the club down.
Damn, that’s fucked. But I commend the teacher. I would have done the same to protect the kids from me, which is a weird thing to say. That is so sad. It reminds me of the Throne of Glass series I’m reading through, where they don’t want to know each others secrets, knowing the king might use that against them and kill them, jail them, or send them to the demon king to be turned in to a monster. I’d rather my sweet students not get sold out, when I ultimately get sold out by my district.
I’m glad I’m not teaching anymore.
If you are the last person to find out your child is trans (or gay or whatever), that is not a failing of the child or whoever else they've told. That is a failure of your parenting. Your child knows you can't be trusted, that you will not respond with love and respect. Then to try and make everyone else in your child's life that they DO trust, to try to force them to betray that trust...Yeah, you've proven the kid's original assessment.
Forgive me for not believing that someone who has named children X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus, actually gives a shit about what is best for his children in the first place.
Sadly I felt the need to call 988 recently. As I'm Canadian it first asked me which language English or French. It then asked if I was under 18. And then it asked me if I was First Nations.

I have an 8-Year-Old and live in Florida. So I’ve seen basically the opposite side of this recent California bill. I was shocked to see her school library missing 40% of its books post the Don’t Say Gay bill passing (and subsequent bills). At the beginning of her second grade year my wife and I had to write down every nickname she was allowed to be called at school and would need to provide written approval if she was going to be called by another name or identification.
I’m her parent, not a cult leader who wants to control every aspect of her existence and identity. I certainly don’t care what nicknames her friends and teacher call her at school. The teachers are doing their best, but education is a mess in Florida right now.

It actually makes destiny look really stupid to think a ex speaker of houses -husbands, naked friend with a hammer he invited into his kitchen to talk is the same as a presidential assassination.

Not destiny. No one can come up with a single reason for why it’s hypocritical.

Anyone can go look at the court case, your retelling of the incident is fueled by conservative conspiracy bull.

Regarding the Bangladesh protests story:
As a Bangladeshi, I really appreciate you covering this story. This is unlike most other protests in the nation's past: this generation of Bangladeshis are children of the internet. They've seen the world from their rooms, and they know that other nations wouldn't stand for baised ruling.
These quotas do have some merits, but the way they're structured are highly outdated.
I hope that my county's students make it through. 🇧🇩
i think why have quotas for women, minorities and disabled? at least have a meritorious quota, someones whos ancestors were not cowards
The key thing is a lot of these kids protesting isn't even about the jobs themselves. the "freedom fighter" quota has always been used to sneak in whoever the fuck pays the most cause getting that certificate is a piece of cake as long as you have money but hell incarnate if you wanna do it the legal way. I had 2 uncles (who have sadly passed away) who were freedom fighters and only after my mom used her own government connections as a tax officer did my 2nd uncles kids finally get their certificate (They previously didn't get the certificate cause my uncles didn't want them as evryone knew who they were and they wanted the needy to get them as it was originally intended for)
@@immapotato1 I agree with you a 100%
I'm a bisexual Texan.
I was never taught about sexuality, I grew up in a Catholic neighborhood and never talked about my attraction to men. I thought i was gay, because I only knew gay or straight. Since I thought I was gay, I wasn't sure how my mom, my dad, my brothers and sisters would react. I kept it in and hid it, I talked about it only at school because I had heard families disowning gay children and my homophobic classmates told me if they had gay children they'd beat or kill them and one deeply religious girl and her boyfriend condemned me to hell and called me slurs to my face, but I didn't mind losing friends as long as I didn't lose my family. I told some of my teachers and friends I trusted. Thankfully, none of them told my parents, but in my junior year I eventually told my mom and sisters on my own terms, they were accepting of me and my older brother learned eventually, but to this day I never told my dad.
As a queer teen, I'm grateful I never got outed to my family until I was ready. I legit feared I'd lose them if they found out, but thankfully most of my family was accepting. However I know that isn't everyone and some people have legit fears of coming out especially to their family
I am an Air Force veteran and graduated High School in 2000. My family are very VERY evangelical Christians and my father would talk about when he was school if someone got caught “being gay” that they would beat the shot out of them. Also I grew up and saw the actions of the men who killed Matthew Shepherd. I say all of that because back when I was just a toddler maybe 5 or 6 I remember being in Sunday school and having a crush on a kid who was the same age and who I knew pretty well, but I didn’t know it was “bad” to have that crush. Fast forward to around 1994 and internally I knew I was gay but I’ve always struggled with that because I still am a Christian but apparently not a proper one anymore, anyways, I struggle because my whole family have seen me dress up in my younger sisters dresses and by the time I was a freshman in High school I knew that I was gay but also that god made me that way for a reason because I can definitely say that I was born gay. My sister knew and told me that she’d keep it a secret for me and that worked until all my friends and other classmates all knew without me having to say it out loud. My senior year I felt it was time to tell my mom and when I did she told me that I had two weeks to find a place of my own and that I had to move out. Since then we still talk and now my dad and younger brother know, even my grandparents knew but have been much more caring than my parents but to this day we have a rocky relationship because they want me to change and even though I tried being straight during high school, after high school, before the Air Force and after the Air Force I just felt like it was all a lie and that I wasn’t being me. I’m glad that the younger generations have benefited from the hard work that our activism has created but I really fear for the future. I
Also glad that your family has been supportive towards you, it’s always nice to hear that.

As a former Amazon employee, I definitely believe those stats. Amazon doesn't really care about its employees. I worked in Fluid Load (which is loading the Semi), and almost every night someone went to wellness because a wall fell on them or some other injury. It wasn't till I was leaving that they changed the wall height requirement and the machines (which in my opinion the machines made it more dangerous). Also when I got hurt and a wall almost fell on me because they didn't train the employee correctly (which is in most cases), I had to beg them to report it! All in all, I'm happy to be out of that sweatshop!

And there was no joking involved. Why don't you look for the hypocrisy there?????
I'm grateful for services like 988 today. At 51, as a first-gen Mexican American, I was taught that men shouldn't show emotions, and I didn't accept mental health as an issue for years. As a teen, I'd randomly call people from the white pages (a book of phone numbers for the younger folks). I'd start with, "Hello, you don't know me, and I don't know you, but I'm not feeling well and need someone to talk to." Surprisingly, many strangers listened to me talk about my emotions and struggles, often late at night. There was a sense of security in knowing they wouldn't judge me. I wasn't suicidal, but I had no one to share my feelings with. I feel that some of those strangers saved me. I am happy to hear that there is help for those that need it.
As a mom of two I would like to know what gives me as a parent more rights than my children? Why should I get more rights to their lives than they do? No parent owns their children, nor do they own the rights to make their children live a life they choose. You can guide and advise and give your best ideas, most likely also having rules while they are young and need your experiential knowledge to stay safe, but ultimately they are their own person, not your property. It is also most likely that these parents whose kids aren't ready to talk to them come from household with strict judgements about different lifestyles from their own, and therefore these kids will keep this part away from their parents for as long as possible. It is also insane to expect teachers to step into these kinds of messes.
Just writing to boost this comment!
Although I don't really agree with the way Destiny is going about it, I completely understand his vitriol. For years the right has been openly mocking political violence when it happens to anyone on the left. From the example of Paul Palosi shown on stream to Ryan Carson, 31 year old progressive activist was attacked and stabbed TO DEATH in New York last year. It's actually crazy to see the double standards online. The problem is the left holds their own side to a higher standard, while condemning the right for rolling in the mud. While on the other hand, the right hand waves the mud rolling and then condemns the left when they do anything even remotely out of line. It's a classic rules for thee but not for me situation.
You can even see a classic example of this in the exact Piers video where Dave Rubin asks Destiny if he will condemn the violent actors in BLM to which Destiny replies yes, then he asks Dave if he'll condemn the violence at Jan6th to which Dave starts to try to make excuses. It happens in real. Time.
This is so true! 💯
You seem to forget that the left has been doing this to the right a lot, too. It all just has to fucking stop.
urgh my god it's so true, and whenever you point out the hypocrisy "it's just different" like no it's not it's just your people and you don't wanna admit it.
100%. Like, I hate Destiny from most of what I've seen from him, but this is the most I've ever seen myself agreeing with him in my entire life.
I fully agree with how he is going about this. It is exposing major hypocrisy. And he's doing it on a big platform, so there won't be a lot of ways for some folks to hide after this.

None of the people on that panel have consistently shown the proper respect to victims of political violence, and they are all wrong for that, but there is still a difference.
Destiny doesn't demand respect for people he agrees with, so he's at least consistent. The other three are all happy to be disrespectful to people they disagree with, while demanding the utmost respect for their allies. There's no "winner" there, but at least Destiny isn't a hypocrite.

It’s basically a might makes right philosophy. They want the ability to oppress others, but if anyone ever gives them back their own medicine, then they’ll cry about it because they understand that their opponents play by different rules and are more respectful. Basically conservatives are like freeza from Dragon Ball Z.
rules for thee but not for meeeeeeeee
I'm gonna be a little pedantic here. That's not conservatism, that's fascism. The law protects the in group and is used against the out group
Yeah that's what conservatives have been going for without saying it reminds me of a group that practiced fascism while saying they were socialist
It is absolutely critical that this law is enacted to keep kids safe. It’s soooo dangerous to out kids to their families. I am an employee of a California school district, and I am the parent of a non binary kid. My kid had a trusted teacher to talk to and to be out to, until they felt comfortable talking to me. I am so grateful for that staff member who is also a co-worker for respecting my kid and for valuing their safety over my feelings. As an employee myself I would quit my job (that I absolutely love) if someone wanted to force me to out a student,I would never knowingly put a child at risk like that.
On destiny and others. Freedom of speech is freedom to offend and be offended. I don’t agree with what they said but it’s their actual right to say it.

I really don't understand how Amazon gets away with such obvious lies. "Our injury rate has improved greatly, but we can't provide any evidence that it has." This is so simple. Either, you don't have any data on your recent incident rate, in which case you're lying. Or, you have data showing your incident rate, that you don't want to share, in which case, you're lying.

@@itsthevoicemanAmazon doesn't pay taxes to the state, they pay their taxes to the politicians directly :D
@@koorok1 Wow, that's horrible.
As awkward as it feels, I agree with Destiny's take. I think his entire point is that he has no sympathy for people who are supporting a person (Trump) who tried to incite an insurrection of the country that he genuinely loves.
People are hyper-focusing on the fact that the guy who was shot is an "innocent firefighter", but for half of that description I imagine Destiny would not consider supporting an insurrectionist to be an innocent stance. I would personally add that someone's job does not absolve them from any immoral actions or statements. Many people in my family are or were firefighters, yet half of them were alcoholics, unfaithful to their wives, or physically and emotionally abusive (or all of the above). We've built some professions up over the years as paragons of virtue in our society, but we forget that the people working in those professions are not saints. They're normal people and they are just as fallible as the rest of us.
So while I don't necessarily agree with the way Destiny is going about it on Twitter, I completely understand the sentiment he has expressed on his own stream and on the Piers show. The conservative voices in media, especially alternative media, have been extremely antagonistic, violent, dehumanizing, and dishonest for the entirety of Trump's political timeline. Now they're finally seeing what it feels like to be on the receiving end of that kind of rhetoric and, surprise surprise, it doesn't feel good.
One other thing Destiny mentions is that the left has tried for so long to take the moral high ground and not resort to this kind of rhetoric or underhanded tactics. However, this has provided them with none of the benefits and all of the drawbacks. They are not motivating their voters to either vote for them or vote against they're opponents. Meanwhile, the high temp conservative rhetoric and sketchy tactics have given them all of benefits and none of the drawbacks. Look at January 6, the attack on Pelosi's husband, the culture war issues (transgender, crt, vaccines), etc. They will take zero responsibility for anything negative that came of the volatile rhetoric they employed on those topics, but were actually gleeful to reap the rewards, aka emotionally charged voters.
Ultimately, I think Destiny is tired of the hypocrisy from the right and is in a unique position where he is relatively insulated from the massive amount of pushback he'll get on this. I imagine the dude probably has enough money to stop streaming and chill out very comfortably for the rest of his life, but this topic obviously matters enough to him that he would risk all of it to speak his truth and his values. With all of that in mind, I don't think this is as crazy as people are making it out to be.

When i worked at a sleep away camp back in 2019 we were told as part of our training to tell our supervisors (who would contact the parents) if we noticed anything was up with the campers or if they told us anything--like if they came out. And while I undetstand that things like bullying or an eating disorder should absolutely be told to parents, I remembered being a camper at that very camp and dealing with so much homophobia as an openly queer kid. Imagine opening up to a trusted adult about your sexuality, something that isnt hurting you or anyone else, and that adult breaking your trust and outing you to your parents. Even if your parents arent the type to punish you for your sexuality, being robbed of the ability to tell them yourself is horrible. I completely refused to follow that rule, but i did little things like wear gay pins that made it clear they were not alone, even if they never wanted to talk to me about it.

Well, cruelty is their point. They want these children to suffer. In their twisted minds, they think the abuse and suffering will somehow "cure" them of being LGBTQ+. It's frankly terrifying that there's so many parents who don't treat their children as actual human beings with agency. ☹️🤦♀️

The story that hit me the hardest was the School Board story. I am a person who has had to deal with bullying, and the fear of being outed to family when I am not ready to come out. I worry every day that when I do, I will be ejected from their life, and I am an adult! Imagine how a kid feels. Especially because they will either have to deny it, or worry about being beaten to within an a second of their life leaving them. I know the fear that some of these kids have, because I have and had those concerns with my own family. It is also indicative that they want complete control of their kids, and view them as their property with the language they use. "It is MY right as a parent to know everything going on with MY kid!" Granted, how else are you supposed to describe them besides as yours, but the thought associated with that is that the parent owns them in their entirety.

"I spend 2500 a week at Home Depot"
That's hilariously small honestly. Like, that's the type of thing a mid sized new residential painter will spend in a day
HD is a billion dollar company. I'm sure they can afford to lose one person's $130,000.
i remember the owner of our formwork company writing $11,000 cheques to building supply stores, yes im that old.
Also, the idea that a competent general contractor regularly purchases large amounts of material from home Depot shows how bad of a contractor that guy is. Home Depot is massively overpriced and I've never worked for a single company that would regularly buy anything from them. One time in an emergency in an out-of-town job we got two pallets of ceiling tile from them and they were massively overpriced and in relatively poor condition
Right?! By bf works for a paint company and they have accounts that spend 15k a month. 😂
I doubt they actually spend that much
The Home Depot situation was doxxing, but I'm a retail worker too and I know not to post things like that on social media. We get told that those things can get us fired if the company finds out. I'm sorry that she had to go through all of that, especially being hunted down and confronted at work. Retail workers have to deal with a lot of idiots, and you could see on her face that she's used to being yelled at by customers. The repercussions she faced is the reason why I don't things like that. It'd be too easy for the wrong person from my work to see it and get me fired for it.

This is why I never understand people not having a private account. Or just one that doesn't show their face or link back to them directly.

@@danielleoliver1734 also true lol. But, I always found it weird to say the most outlandish stuff on your public profile with your picture. I just don't get the logic.
Two things are true: Destiny is absolutely right about his overall point about conservatives being hypocrites. And Destiny shouldn't have said the things he did, at least in that way. There was a better way to make his point.
Sure, there are better ways to make a point. But in this age of rage-bait engagement, it will be drowned out. Unfortunately, for better or worse, he is playing the game exactly as designed by the social media giants.
Over the last few years he has been overly civil to the right to the point that the entire left has said he is one of them he tried and saw no real progress, if anything they would just get a level of validation for talking to him they don't deserve
They criticised cancel culture, but now they're aggressively doing it themselves. It's just pathetic.
Can't be tolerant of intolerance, you know?
Ohh now you wanna cry about it now that's it's someone you agree with ? Nah bucko, don't work that way.
It's getting more aggressive. It's almost like some kind of drug addiction.
@@paz1514uh what? I never agreed with cancel culture either. I'm saying they are hypocrites for doing it themselves now
And it's much more aggressive than ever
Conservatives: States rights!
California: LGBTQIA protections
Conservatives: Wait...
What is your contention? Are you saying that private businesses should not have the right to leave a state due to policies. How are state rights infringed if a company leaves which many companies are doing.
@akhost3929 nah, maybe repubs shouldn't be such hypocrites but hey, what do I know
I'm just someone with a working brain
@@akhost3929Their contention seems to be that conservatives use the “states rights” argument when it suits their narrative, while fighting against a states rights when they disagree with it, like gun laws, abortion (considering conservatives are suggesting a federal ban) and Project 2025

The crazy thing about the Destiny situation is that all these platforms that have banned, or demonetized him continue to GREENLIGHT the using of homophobic and racist slurs (f and g slur) towards him, allow doxing him, his son and son's mother, and threats of violence against him and his family. Not only has this rhetoric been celebrated by these influencers, and continues to happen, there has been no action by the platforms who host them, let alone any consequences. Destiny tells an edgy joke and all of a sudden we think words should have consequences? This isn't just hypocrisy, this is intentional.
Edgy joke? Does your brain work? This is clearly just what he believes. You're just as trash of a person as Destiny
Its right wing mobilization in action.
When Destiny said F him about the fireman and then doubled down in the piers thing….he wasn’t joking…he was very clear about that. Either way Destiny shouldn’t be getting doxed, especially his family that are innocent bystanders…
You say all this acting like destiny isn't a racist lmao
@@abraxas6326 Hey can you back up that claim with an example?
Amazon worker here. It’s obscenely hot in the building I work, they have giant fans on the roof that aren’t on cause “electrical reasons” and there’s not enough fans for each station.
I loved that the psychologist said that just because you're being candid about your cosmetic habits, that doesn't make them any better. Admitting the problem is just step one. People want a medal for step one and forget to do all the other steps.
"Parents have the right to know what's happening to their children" when all the law does is not allow admin to snitch on parents about their kids choices. If parents want to know what their kids are up about, why not just ask them? Have conversations? Why do kids have to lie to their parents and be their real person in school or outside their home? Isn't that a better question?
OK groomer
Yes! I think the same thing goes with the book banning going on because people don’t want their kids reading something “adult”. Instead of limiting all of society to your definition of “adult”, just have a conversation with your kids. Parent them.
@@madisonhitch9244 🤣 we parent them fine we just won't groom them into your cult.
@@Hangrid1 amazing how the groomers expectation is to talk to their kids about something that the teacher who's usually part of the grooming is withholding from them.
Why not… be better parents who your kids feel comfortable speaking with?
I remember after I got fired from a job I called 988 because I was far away from family and wasn't certain whether I would get evicted from my apartment. I was 25 and it was the first tiime i'd been on my own in a few years post-pandemic and graduating college. I was on the phone with a live person in under a minute.. calling at 2am probably helped.. they really walked me out of some dark thoughts. So glad it exists.
Phil, thank you for talking about 988. My brother introduced me to your show over 12 years ago and I lost him 10 years ago to suicide. I don't think anything could have saved him but if 988 can save even one person, it's an amazing service. Thank you for highlighting the good it does even at the cost of the burnout.
Love ya face Phil
I worked at the Amazon warehouse in Kansas City for over 2 years. It was hell there; the building was hot all year round. Managers refused to add more fans. Forced overtime, especially during the prime week and what they consider "Peak season." "Peak" is around 8 weeks, and my typical 4-day, 10-hour shift work week was changed to a 5-day, 11-hour work week. The rates they expect are crazy for one person to do, for example (600 items an hour in stow, 400 items an hour in pick, 200 items an hour in pack, 1200 items an hour in (can't remember what this one is called it's part of sort side in pack), 600 items per hour in sort.) Given all of this, I'm 100 percent not surprised by the report on Amazon. They could improve things by making sure the temperatures in the warehouse are bearable and by lowering the rate they expect. I can guarantee that most of the injuries that happen there are caused by trying to reach these high rates.
Props to Phillip for accurately portraying Destiny, he showed clips of his reasoning and explaining them in a neutral way and not just his takes out of context like most people would
According to some of my mutuals who stream on kick, the unspoken rule of kick is that "the only rule is don't piss off a staff member". Basically the only way you can get kicked from kick is if someone from kick notices you and decides to give you the boot.
God all those parents freaking out about the thought their kid could not wanna tell them things are the same parents who wonder why their kids left home as soon as possible and why they never wanna visit them.
The people who want these laws are the sort of helicopter parents who would absolutely know if their kid was trans or wanting to use different pronouns. They want the laws so they can punish their kids for doing something at school that they have been told not to do at home. They also fully think that if they 'catch it early' a therapist will make their kids cis and straight.
I feel like this is an over generalization of the people concerned with this and why, yes in some cases you may be correct bad parenting can alienate children, but contrary to that bad mentorship or grooming can alienate children from their loved ones. In any case it seems like a violation of guardianship, most schools/curriculums are out of date and teachers are ill equipped and struggle to deal with even a base level of education for children today, so why would we assume they could reliably and responsibly take on such an important and impactful role especially given the brief nature of their interactions with young students.
@@ollie3743the level of interaction that teacher have with kids is a lot. Like from the age of 5-18 student are in school 8 hours a day and in earlier grades the student tend to stay with one teacher instead of moving around from class to class. So teachers interact with students sometimes more than their own parents.
Also that's a problem with school funding and not with teachers. Plus parents don't have a right to know what kids chose to go by out in the world even at school. If a child wants to called by a nickname or another name all together at school that's fine. If it lets them continue to learn and grow than I don't see the problem with just going with it as long as it's not profane in language. Like a parent shouldn't be medaling in the classroom on this level. It makes teachers less able to do their jobs if they are constantly afraid of going to jail because parents want to know if their child was breathing to loudly.
@ollie3743 I'm not sure if you're a parent or not, but I am. I think any parent that is for forced outing policies should reflect on their relationship with their child. Think less about their "rights" as a parent and more about their "responsibilities" as a parent. I know responsibilities is a much longer, heavier word. However, they need to spend more time on why the person they're raising doesn't feel safe telling them that information and less on how they can get schools to abuse their children on their behalf.
@@ollie3743 Nobody who actually supports LGBT students thinks they non-LGBT kids can be groomed into it that is something that Christian Nationalist leaders have completely invented and told to their followers.
I have been working at 988, on the lgbtq+ youth line for a year and a half now. As much as I love connecting with those in need, burnout is real. It gets hard going in to work some days but the work we do is rewarding in it's own right. Huge love to my other counclers on the line. I hope we can figure something out so we can reach even more people. Thank you for sharing our number as well❤
If you have done something that makes it so your child doesn't feel comfortable coming to you about a preferred name change, then 9 times out of ten, you've lost your right to be a parent, IMHO.
Those "parents" care far more about their perceived rights over what they view as an object, instead of the responsibilities they have for the person they're raising.

Back in the dancing hot dog days, I vividly remember the first time I noticed my face being altered by a filter. It was something seemingly innocuous but my freckles were removed and my eye shape and distance slightly altered. It was one of the first times I had truly experienced an uncanny-valley version of myself. Immediately I recognized that this had great potential to harm my self-image, and also that, like you so often point out, the technology would only become more advanced with time. I am eternally grateful to myself for perceiving the danger, making that decision, and sticking to it.
