Part of the frustration was that it takes me forever to upload at full quality (i did it the whole weekend lol).

I did a double take, I was listening with screen off, and I was like, who is that? Looked at the screen and blinked a few times, then realized what must have happened. I did have a chuckle 😅
Honestly? Zuck and Rogan sounding like they're on Helium kinda works? While it does take away from the gravity of what they're saying, it does deny them any measure of gravitas. And they should have none, they absolutely should sound like party clowns all the time
KatBlaque i saw your community post saying this channel may not survive the current administration. I just want to say thank you, your content and creations came into my life at a time i had very little hope or optimism that there were other people out there like me. Your content is inspiring and so well rounded and educated, always! Thank you for all you have given us. You are so kind❤
@@KatBlaque If it gets to that point (let's hope it doesn't) I recommend to download your videos to save them (maybe you already have a copy of them I don't really know, just saying 'cuz you truly have the hottest of takes on different topics). Keep on thriving !!!
@@bowshypakop9989 I keep a pretty good archive of of my content, fortunately. I may actually be re-uploading my deleted video essay since it’s become relevant again.
I seriously cannot comprehend how they are whining about censorship, when they are actively banning books…. Important books, that talk about political issues relevant now :))) this reminds me of commie times in my country, when they banned similar books… what’s next, Fahrenheit 451?!
19:15 Regarding the "censorship" thing. People hate to accept this, but facts just DO have a left wing bias. That's why academia and all the places concerned with discovering and proving facts skew left. There's no conspiracy to it. It's not some sort of self selecting process where lefties prefer academia (obviously this plays a role but it's definitely not the main issue). People who study the world in depth mostly end up "discovering" a left wing position. The right has never been able to debunk these things empirically, so they settle for conspiracy theories instead. It's not surprising that right wingers were getting more heavily censored, their world view is just inherently less fact based.
‘Left’ is associated with ‘progressive,’ coincidence? 🤔 ‘Conservatives’ specifically want preservation of a status quo and traditions that are entrenched in nonsecular misogynistic classism, there is no mystery on why questioning their perspective or disengagement with their systems is so destructive for them. The right has every incentive to use their institutional power to throttle all political discussion and remove information-sharing avenues as their fabricated existence rides a precarious balance now between success and dissolution.
Because right wingers don't care about scientific facts. They're stupid, racist, xenophobic religious hypocrites and control freaks. They don't want an educated populous. They want a bunch of obedient idiots they can control and for years these right wing weirdos have been making things difficult for the rest of us and getting us killed
Thank you!!!!! You're so correct about this. There's a recent interview with Roland Martin and Patrick Bet David about housing statistics that illustrates this point infuriatingly well
one of the things I'll never understand about billionaires is their need to even be in office at all. Like you've got enough money to literally be on vacation on some tropical island in the middle of no where forever. Become pro artists, scientists, owning a restaurant, the stuff regular people dream about spending their life doing and for some reason they can't stop trying to control everyone, like you already won capitalism, what else do you want.
See that's the thing. People who become billionaires don't have a passion and love for the world and the people on it. They only care about money. So what do you do when you have all the money you can possibly have? You change the laws to get more. 😮💨
One of the problems with capitalism is that you'll never win it; it's a system that requires that you keep making more money. Even if you have more money than you and the next 5 generations of your family could ever spend, even if every single person on the planet is paying for your product, the system requires that you still make more money. And now it's reached a point where billionaires see that the only way to make more money, is to get control of politics so they can create laws that favor them and deregulate their industries
They need power. Money is power in a capitalist country, especially if you live in an oligarchy, which I’d argue the USA is. It takes a lot of money to either run for office or have any influence at all regarding laws and regulations. That’s how we’re in a place where things the average people actually want get demonized and stupid catchphrases and names are used to stick the idea in people’s heads that those things are bad. Think “Obamacare” and “DEI hires” type stuff.
I am pretty sure that most of the people that become billionaires do so because they believe money will give them power over others. It doesn’t to the extent they want so they then turn to politics. Money is just one of the tools they try to use to get power.
the single time i reported anything on Facebook as being abusive content/hate speech, it was a meme from some right-wing account celebrating the Club Q shooting, saying that it was "a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it". facebook's response was basically "sorry you feel that way but this isn't hate speech :)" and so i honestly fail to see how the policy updates are going to make much of a difference
I have never successfully reported anything with them including a guy advocating unaliving trans women. However quoting said guy to complain about how it wasn’t found to violate community standards got me a temp ban for advocating violence. Complaining about nem (in frustration saying that nem are 🗑️) also got me a ban for hate speech. Also got a temp ban for advocating harm to children for trying to explain the plot of a brother’s Grimm story.
The pitch shifting confused me at first bc I had this video on in the background, so I was just straight up willing to believe that zuckerburg sounded like that😂
* screaming in immune compromised * Nothing like going on year 5 of effectively being jailed in my house while Joe Rogan talks about conspiracy theorists as if he isn’t one and Zuck whines about how he can’t invent the world anew if he has to be held responsible for the platform he owns
The hydroxychloroquine bullshit Rogan helped promote last time resulted in a nationwide shortage of it for lupus patients. People in all my lupus support groups were missing their meds at a time when ending up hospitalized was much more dangerous.
@@flux.aeternaI get boosted each time it’s available, mask everywhere and often distance and my social life is very lowkey. I take it so seriously and I am so disturbed by those who do not! People think I’m crazy. I’m often the only one on set in a mask!
idk if i'm immunocompromised, but am disabled and also know what a single infection can do. i value what ability i do have, and accordingly live as though i'm certainly immunocompromised. a bit over a year ago i had to start wearing a respirator when leaving my room because a parent ignored their symptoms and infected me. i haven't gotten new sickness in the year since, while family have repeatedly given each other all kinds of illness and refuse to quarantine in their rooms. it's hard to bear the way most seem eager to neglect disabled people and the general wellbeing of all, but hearing from others who've shared my experience is encouraging. i hate to know others have also had to be effectively jailed in their house for over half a decade, but not being alone in it is a sort of comfort. it's easy to feel like everyone else is playing pretend about "going back to normal".
Me and my partner are from russia. We were just talking today about how scary it is that the same shit that is happening here is happening in America (and a lot more honesty). I feel so fucking depressed the world has less and less space for queers, for poc, for peace and i can't even say anything against it publicly.
Power is in resistance. It's depressing, it's bleak, but you're not alone. None of us are. Stay safe and if you're willing and able, organize. Get together with people and push back. That's how we (the common people) win. Whether it's unionizing or activism or anything else. Just be as safe as you can be and remember you're not alone. Even if you can't fight at the moment, we will. You're not alone.
it's not that the world has less space for poc and queers -- it's authoritarian states. i don't correct you on this for the sake of being a rude english speaker on the internet, i just believe that there is a difference here. billionaires and authoritarians need to scapegoat minorities so the majority are focusing all their rage on those minorities instead of the billionaires and authoritarians who are plotting to steal away the majority's civil rights.
I am only 22 years old, and I am going to turn 23 this Wednesday, not that anyone should care but I just wanna say thank you for your many years of service to this app as a trans woman and especially as a beautiful, black trans woman. I used to come across your videos from since I was 13 and I use to be a very edgy teen but even then, when I would watch your videos and how well informed you were it made me want to do better and be better. Sending love and support from Belize.
his little rant on how the US gov should protect it's tech companies regardless of whether they're wrong or right really showed his hand more than anything I've heard so far, but I'm only 35 minutes in so... He's really concerned and fired up about how many fines tech companies has had to pay in other countries whilst the US government didn't protect them. Lol that's what this is really about.
That specific rant struck a nerve with me. The nerve to expect America to bully other countries to remove their hard discussed and earned regulations. The monopolistic tendencies of these corporations was already highly unethical, but now he crossed a line with this declarations. I think I really hate tech billionaires now.
also oh my god everything he says is literally just "i want to be told im a special good boy who made a super cool special awesome product" go to therapy
when you said the part about not surviving this administration i dont know whether you were speaking personally, professionally, or both, but my heart broke because i appreciate you and what you bring to the table so much and i hate that this is a very real concern
especially as a cis white man i find it so important to listen to people listen to people in communities more marginilized than just my gay existence, because their fights fo rights were precursors to mine and their losses signal more to come for others
As European a question I ask myself is: how is Facebooks atrocious algorithm going to keep complying with European laws on all of this? I am actually cackling internally at the massive paycheck the EU is gonna get from the lawsuits, it should also serve as a reminder to Europeans, yes the union and it's Parliament may seem useless on day to day life, and some decisions are outright stupid but they still are some kind of authority to keep human ego in check.
Zuck is clearly signaling to the US govt to bully the EU into reversing their regulations by leveraging access to our economy. Those rules may not be in this world much longer. I hope they stand on business but.... my pessimism rarely fails me.
I don't want to be bleak but many European countries, including mine, are taking a very sharp turn to the far right... and the EU is basically USA's lapdog in most things... give it 10 years and we'll see here the kind of policies we see in the USA or in Russia :(
Just wanted to pop in to say that as someone who is not the most media literate, not great at picking up what people are actually saying, not well educated, and honestly not articulate enough to explain things even when i do understand them, I found this video very helpful. Discouraging, but helpful.
My college is unfortunately in a state where they're getting rid of DEI. You can still take Women and Genders Study courses and classes like that, it's just that offices/resources can no longer be available specifically for these protected groups. So offices dedicated specifically for students of color had to be disbanded. I have a friend that works at the school and they had to frantically remove all words on their website such as "diversity" and "equity" along with other phrases or face losing funding from the state. The reasoning given for this by the politicians is that these resources are discriminatory and should be available to all students kinda like the whole "all lives matter" argument 🙄 it's wild! I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Also, hearing my professors feel sad about this shift but afraid to speak about it is extremely troubling. Thank you so much for speaking on this! Sending so much love ♥️ These are scary times we're living in.
This is so insane…What school do you go to? 😢 our school doubled down and sent us all an email Letting us know protections for lgbtq and poc will remain in place. I go to a public college. It’s scary to know this is happening. I’m worried it will eventually catch us too
the worst kind of irony to all in my personal experience is seeing this fear mongering, telling people i know about it and then being laughed and told *I'M* fearmongering or overthinking. i'm all too familiar with being gaslit, but genuinely these past several years has really made me feel like im going insane because its just not my family who does it, its now my friends, and people i trust and love or used to trust and love. and to know there are many other people who has known this WAY longer than me, such as yourself, i cant imagine the pain and how isolating it must feel. everyone please, make sure you connect NOW, because in the future, these communities will be scrubbed out and we need to stick together now, more than ever.
If you have a computer and an android phone with developer options you can use the usb debugging and an android debloater app! It was the first thing I did when I got my new phone ^^. You can delete pretty much everything! Quite fun and allows you to be free from the preinstalled apps. And if you want *more* you can root your phone :D I hope you find a good option for your situation. Stay happy and have a good day!
I buy from the manufacturer rather than the carrier. This helps with the bloatware because it's the carriers that make these deals to take up space on your phone.
@@パガイbut then how would I see my lil videos? I'm not often called. I'm mostly texted or messaged on discord. I wish there was a minimal smartphone but there isnt
1:36:50 so timely! i just had a student literally accuse me of indoctrination bc i am queer and i teach queer texts and it makes them uncomfortable. they weren't even a white american! i have been forced out of education jobs for being openly queer. thank you for continuing to speak on this bc as a queer, mixed race educator with a specialty in ethnic studies, it's terrifying rn😊
53:30 ????? Does he not understand the opioid crisis has been made worse by the overprescription of opioids? Medical providers aren't coming to Facebook to find people to prescribe to. What is he even talking about? It's like he's using buzzwords to come across as benevolent
I've been physically dependent on opiates since I was 11. Opiates are less harmful than tobacco, alcohol and adhd meds. If you actually want to discuss the war on personal freedom, how the US Government decided death was a better fate than physical dependency. I can't walk or have a basic quality of life without opiates.
@@anniemcmillen940 No, ADHD meds are also pretty damn harmless and the stigma around them is harmful. Even massive overdoses are virtually never lethal, they dont cause physical dependence and unless your grinding them up and sniffing them, psycological dependence is exceedingly rare
@@therideneverends1697 yeah this person is fully pulling the adhd med stuff out of their ass. like this is a pretty well studied thing that is well accepted outside of crackpots
i have been in love with the new hairstyle you’ve been rocking. it’s so cute! i think that every time with your recent videos, so i thought i should finally say the compliment. (1) thing to be appreciative of in this burning world.
you don't know how much you heal me. i've been subbed for years and i feel like you're the only creator who 100% aligns with my way of thinking. i'm not from the united states but everything that's currently going on there (and has been for years) is quite literally a direct parallel of what's currently happening in my country. still can't believe how basic things that are of common sense, intellectually and emotionally, are seen as radical thinking. they want to keep us dumb, uneducated, loyal to them. and it is scary how more and more, being vocal about agreeing with fascism is becoming the norm...
One of the few things I'm proud of from my country is Margrethe Vestager a danish minister who has been on the forefront of fighting against platforms like Meta, to hold them accountable to their actions and the power that they hold over the greater part of the world... let's just hope there's an EU to keep the fight up in the future.
You have given so much to the country, this site, the online discourse for such a long time. Both your comrades and your haters have profited on you, as well as the platforms where you exist. What’s happening is such a betrayal. I’m not trying to fluff your feathers. It’s real, and I’m sorry. Thank you for your work. You have never only worked for Black people or trans people or women. It has always been about all people for you. I don’t know what else to say. Thank you. Seriously, take it in. It’s not just a RUclips comment. I really want you to hear it. Thank you, Kat Blaque.
0:13 I still have Facebook because I’m Caribbean and a lot of my families are overseas and we have WhatsApp as a way of communicating and Facebook so it’s kind of essential in order for me to talk to my family
Just like me, I'm Indian, we use whatsapp a lot but funnily enough, I only have my FB page to communicate with my older friends, I avoid my relatives and old school friends there like the plague xD
Can we not do the lizard people meme on a Jewish man? He is a horrible ghoul and all, but the fact is the lizard people thing is a conspiracy theory invented by a rabid antisemite, and people on the left should stop using it. Please stick to criticizing billionaires for their disgusting and unethical behaviour, no need to repeat horrible conspiracies. We're better than that
You definitely did help! My mum did most of it 💀🤣 as she’s better but anyways… I’m planning to do dolly braids as I’m going on holiday this weekend! I feel like dolly braids would suit the hell out of you! X
Its strange that they say they aren’t censoring “hate speech” because when i posted “Petition to launch Elon Musk into the Sun ☀️ “ i got put in facebook jail for 24 hours and the post got removed 😅
27:26 it's wild to me that it makes sense to some people that some tech like smartphones can evolve rapidly to what we have today, but tech evolving in medicine, like the covid vaccine, is just questionable cuz it evolved "too quikly."
Yes especially with health concerns running the gamut with technology. They're just happy to control whatever they can and medical control is a new buzz to a money addict
And the majority of people don't seem to care, as long as they're unaffected by it. Ugh. I wore a mask to school long after 2020 because Covid was still rampant in my area and when I tell you the amount of dirty looks I got..
It’s just kind of funny that he clearly is mad that the government interfered with his company, and when he says “the government should be protecting its companies”… no, the government should be protecting its people from you and your companies. Like it’s funny that the base, the audience, the voters are so sure they’re fighting for the little guy, they’re for the every man, they’re for the downtrodden, while bolstering people that explicitly say they’re fighting for the protections of the people and companies that exploit and endanger you.
I liked it before even listing. after listening I wish I could like it again. The narrative of breaking EU-law and getting fined is like a tarrif, or you could just adhere to local laws if you are a global company. I never heard Zuckerberg narrating so much. But he is also the type who says We work and means you work.
I think I mentioned it before, your note on how people outside of america are (generally) reacting to things happening there is correct. However what many people don't understand is the second part where rightwing (and sometimes outright fascist) politicians are becoming more popular than ever. I was not surprised by the election results because of how voting had gone in my own country, where two obviously fascist parties had a deal with another more popular rightwing party so they could form a majority in parliament. People in my country laugh at america, talk about the foolishness of americans for voting in Trump, when we are responsible for fascist politicians coming into power and creating bills that are disastrous for Māori rights (indigenous people here) and other terrible schemes like defunding services for disabled people (under the guise of paying back debts and "improving lives for the average kiwi family" it's a load of bs. And there are people going "well you can't focus on the environment when you can't pay the bills" when the thing is: yes and you who can't pay bills are the one who is going to the most affected by environmental disasters caused by climate change from politicians and policy makers who don't care about you or your family. - just have to rant a bit because people always want to talk about bigotry in america but never bigotry at home
34:00 THE US GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE PROTECTING IT'S COMPANIES? No! It should be regulating them! It should be making sure they don't overstep their boundaries and take advantage of their consumer, you know, the citizens the government should actually be protecting!
I remember when I started posting my art on instagram then they changed the algorithm to focus on video. It was almost instant how little traction I got.
@kc-fr3qp same.... Nw I don't even have the pics, words are cut off, faces are missing and the aesthetic has vanished.... I boosted a post once and nw my profile gets suppressed without paying nw that they know I can pay...
i deleted my ig 4 weeks ago and even though yt shorts still takes my attention sometimes, im much more at peace highly recommend and easier to let go than whatsapp
I hit like and leave comment not just by support, but because this is one of the best thought I've heard about the social media BS which is going on since a while. Thank you!
The scary thing for me is that facebook is the primary way most queer people I know find housing. It's where I found my current living situation. Having an old account that's connected to irl contacts is immensely helpful in housing groups because people can comment on my posts and vouch for me. If it wasn't for the prospect of being evicted with no way to find safe housing, I would have left the platform years ago
...but i can't even ask for a refund cuz all this is FREE...dangit ZUK'S GOTUS BY THE SHORT AND CURLY'S ...which is exactly what yer talkin about. i'll stfu and get back to it yer hittin a nerve girl keep preachin
I have been watching your channel for a long time, about 10 years. Your thoughts and ideas have been critical for my understanding of society and the world. I was about 14 when I started watching your content, and now with a sociology degree I have found myself constantly advocating and educating. I certainly don’t have the reach or influence you do, but I like to think maybe I can influence others the way you pivotally influenced me. Thank you!
lol "A replacement for an address book" yeah, that's pretty much what I use Facebook for; just to keep up with folks I went to high school with etc. Also, the Birthday reminders are helpful lol
There needs to be a separation of tech/social media and state, just like the separation of church and state. We might have been too slow to enforce this now.
I can't agree more about education. While my folks had to keep me in public school they encouraged me to be curious. If I wanted to know something they took me to the library or found resources. Reading was paramount in our house. I can't thank them enough for always pushing me to learn.
Just a reminder, people are still dying of COVID everyday and the damage done by COVID is accumulative, so even if you were fine the first couple times, doesnt mean you wont develop long covid or other complications later.
I love and appreciate you as a content creator and I hope I can continue to support and watch your content out in the open internet where it deserves to be. You are a wonderful resource of knowledge and I’m so glad I found your corner of the internet❤ I really enjoy the long format stuff, you are a lovely voice in my ear while I work!
kat this vid was great no problem with the format, this conversation was great you covered it so thouroughly. i split it into two watch sessions and the second half of this video is the most impactful im so glad i watched to the end.
The "Billionaire brain" needs to be psychologically and scientifically studied. I need to see brain scans and test results because I have a theory that their brain lights up when they see money but it doesn't when they see people. I truly believe that once you become a billionaire or even multimillionaire you stop pursuing community, you stop see people as humans with souls and you probably don't care about anything at all. Like nothing gives you meaning anymore except hoarding more money. I really need this studied.
"AI apps nobody asked for" OMG. When my gran died, my mother memorialized her page. And within months, AI ads were serving mom these horrible AI generated images of gran looking over the earth, the family, incredibly traumatic and disruptive BS that nobody asked for. But they own everything posted soooo....
The "I'd fix it but then I can't work on all the other things" [that no one wants] is crazy. Imagine if someone was like "listen I know the website doesn't work but I want to make a bunch of addons for the website before I make it work." Or "listen I know the foundation is slipping off the mountain but I can't focus on that right now or I can't work on putting down new flooring and cabinets"
Hey Kat, I am a recent subscriber, your material is amazing and has helped me process a lot of things that happened in my life - so thank you. You're a beautiful soul, both inside and outside 💜
We've been trying to tell Americans that the American dream to achieve freedom through working, literally used to be painted on the gates to the camps. Arbeit macht frei. It's been so obvious for so long where it was headed, but I'm still genuinely sorry and sad for everyone living through it.
He’s so confused that a corporation would be a bad actor… that’s the problem. The more money you have the higher your morality, welcome to the church of capitalism.
Everyone reading this, you need to watch Innuendo Studio's recent Alt Right Pipeline video titled Crossing the Rubicon. It just came out today and all of you moderate centrist MUST go watch it. Its short but extremely important and impactful. America is a frog slowly coming up to a boil so slowly that many do not recognize the danger. You right now, you need to pick event and draw a line in the sand where you will recognize fascism had officially arrived. Because if you dont pick a line, the line moved a step further away with every step you take toward it. Dont let yourself only realize when its too late.
Maybe let's not get our morality from Germans. Americans have our own way of doing things and it's very muddled all the time because Americans value being genuine as a way for showing up for community, but we aren't a monolith. There are always people who don't value that. Germans are smart wonderful people but they're also mean and self-centered. Maybe let's just keep in mind that no matter how smart we are we can still get fooled by fascists
Zuckerberg referencing 1984 is so unbelievably fucking brazen of him, after what he did with the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Did he read the book? Did he even skim it? If he did he must have found Big Brother to be a huge inspiration.
In my 20s I had the energy to care about a lot of these issues and I got burned out. So thank you for bearing this weight, caring and educating about these critical issues. I know how hard it is, and you make it look easy!
Google images was literally made to show Jennifer López using a very provocative dress in the Grammys, so yeah, Kat is not exaggerating about what she said (as usual, she just spits straight up facts).
23:55 "Curbing the rampant spreading of misinformation on the platform I own is too hard, why won't you let me spend my time on random useless bullshit instead ☹️". That's basically what he's saying, this is fucking wild lmaooo
100% agree w/ your view of mark. He seriously made that website that turned into FB for a bunch of those types. YES, most definitely has always wanted to fit in w/ that crowd & those types.
I’m only around 35 mins in at the moment, but hearing Zuckerberg talk about removing policies around hate speech without Rogan pushing back about Myanmar and the genocide of Rohingya people is driving me insane. Facebook was a considerable driving force behind that violence. I don’t necessarily expect Rogan to be the one providing that pushback - but the fact that this is one of the few places Zuckerberg would have this long form conversation is telling.
it's especially infuriating b/c that was right around 2017, exactly when he's claiming facebook was going extra hard on content moderation (as a disclaimer, i haven't finished the vid yet either but i seriously doubt zuckerberg or rogan ever addressed this in the podcast)
I really value your perspective. Great video. Thanks for the closing message... I've been meaning to get out and dance and your encouragement to do so is helpful
This part at 38:09 I feel like he's talking about Brazil not liking this new policy of "we won't fact check" because our supreme court didn't just say "we will ban you", the supreme court told him to explain himself, why is Meta not going to do fact checking anymore, that's it, and I feel like he's REALLY bitter because we really don't care if Meta is banned in our country, just like Twitter got banned and we just moved to Bluesky
"There's no way I'm watching this without getting paid" What a coincidence! There's no way I'd watch this without Kat Blaque to bring some sense into it 😂❤️
I don’t know if anyone else has seen it, but Leeja Miller posted a video yesterday about how the US constitution has been taken down off the government website. Seems unconstitutional to me, a Brit
Recently I visited a trans subreddit and it absolutely broke my heart how afraid people are. I don't live in America but being in Canada, its only a matter of time before we're infected even more than we already have. I'd like to think i'm generally pretty strong willed so if im feeling it, lord I can only imagine what people over there are going through.
so, i did the numbers, and... at 26:02 rogan states that the number of videos uploaded every hour is crazy, but it averages out to about 3,000 videos per hour. which is, to be fair, a whole lot! but not so much that you couldn't easily hire 3,000 people to moderate 1 video per hour. even with round the clock employment, that's still less than 10,000 people. google has around 180,000 employees.
Really sorry for the pitch shifted parts of this video!!!

@@bowshypakop9989 I keep a pretty good archive of of my content, fortunately. I may actually be re-uploading my deleted video essay since it’s become relevant again.
Definitely! This channel has done so much to educate me! ❤
Why is Zucc referencing 1984 when Trump is banning that book I’m LMAO💀
I thought that was so funny
Glad I bought my own copy after reading it at the library💀
How tf are they banning that, leaving WHO and bringing back TikTok...
You actually believe that 😅😅
I seriously cannot comprehend how they are whining about censorship, when they are actively banning books…. Important books, that talk about political issues relevant now :))) this reminds me of commie times in my country, when they banned similar books… what’s next, Fahrenheit 451?!
These men always conveniently forget to mention that time their crowd violently stormed the capital.
They dont wanna talk about that 🤭
I mean he's pardoning several of them, so maybe that counts as talking about it?
19:15 Regarding the "censorship" thing. People hate to accept this, but facts just DO have a left wing bias. That's why academia and all the places concerned with discovering and proving facts skew left. There's no conspiracy to it. It's not some sort of self selecting process where lefties prefer academia (obviously this plays a role but it's definitely not the main issue). People who study the world in depth mostly end up "discovering" a left wing position.
The right has never been able to debunk these things empirically, so they settle for conspiracy theories instead. It's not surprising that right wingers were getting more heavily censored, their world view is just inherently less fact based.
‘Left’ is associated with ‘progressive,’ coincidence? 🤔
‘Conservatives’ specifically want preservation of a status quo and traditions that are entrenched in nonsecular misogynistic classism, there is no mystery on why questioning their perspective or disengagement with their systems is so destructive for them.
The right has every incentive to use their institutional power to throttle all political discussion and remove information-sharing avenues as their fabricated existence rides a precarious balance now between success and dissolution.
Don’t have anything meaningful to add, but wanted to interact with this comment with more than just a like cuz this was so clarifying for me.
This so much.
Because right wingers don't care about scientific facts. They're stupid, racist, xenophobic religious hypocrites and control freaks. They don't want an educated populous. They want a bunch of obedient idiots they can control and for years these right wing weirdos have been making things difficult for the rest of us and getting us killed
Thank you!!!!! You're so correct about this. There's a recent interview with Roland Martin and Patrick Bet David about housing statistics that illustrates this point infuriatingly well
one of the things I'll never understand about billionaires is their need to even be in office at all. Like you've got enough money to literally be on vacation on some tropical island in the middle of no where forever. Become pro artists, scientists, owning a restaurant, the stuff regular people dream about spending their life doing and for some reason they can't stop trying to control everyone, like you already won capitalism, what else do you want.
See that's the thing. People who become billionaires don't have a passion and love for the world and the people on it. They only care about money. So what do you do when you have all the money you can possibly have? You change the laws to get more. 😮💨
One of the problems with capitalism is that you'll never win it; it's a system that requires that you keep making more money. Even if you have more money than you and the next 5 generations of your family could ever spend, even if every single person on the planet is paying for your product, the system requires that you still make more money. And now it's reached a point where billionaires see that the only way to make more money, is to get control of politics so they can create laws that favor them and deregulate their industries
They want power in addition to tons of money
They need power. Money is power in a capitalist country, especially if you live in an oligarchy, which I’d argue the USA is. It takes a lot of money to either run for office or have any influence at all regarding laws and regulations. That’s how we’re in a place where things the average people actually want get demonized and stupid catchphrases and names are used to stick the idea in people’s heads that those things are bad. Think “Obamacare” and “DEI hires” type stuff.
I am pretty sure that most of the people that become billionaires do so because they believe money will give them power over others. It doesn’t to the extent they want so they then turn to politics. Money is just one of the tools they try to use to get power.
A 2 hr Kat Blaque video!? I feel blessed
❤️❤️
Yesss blessed the kat of the BLAQUE WOOOOOOOOO🎉🎉🎉
@@TC-sv1kn my thoughts almost exactly WOOT
"you get your day in court and the courts are pretty fair" THE BILLIONAIRE SAID TO THE MILLIONARE
the single time i reported anything on Facebook as being abusive content/hate speech, it was a meme from some right-wing account celebrating the Club Q shooting, saying that it was "a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it". facebook's response was basically "sorry you feel that way but this isn't hate speech :)" and so i honestly fail to see how the policy updates are going to make much of a difference
Literally reported photos of lynchings under black creators content…and got the same response. So just no fig leaf anymore
I have never successfully reported anything with them including a guy advocating unaliving trans women. However quoting said guy to complain about how it wasn’t found to violate community standards got me a temp ban for advocating violence. Complaining about nem (in frustration saying that nem are 🗑️) also got me a ban for hate speech. Also got a temp ban for advocating harm to children for trying to explain the plot of a brother’s Grimm story.
Vaccines started under Trump
Same, even before the changes most of my friends got in trouble for somewhat spicy posts, and then actual hate speech went unmoderated
someone sent me CSAM. nothing happened. but me calling men “idiots” is hate speech.
The pitch shifting confused me at first bc I had this video on in the background, so I was just straight up willing to believe that zuckerburg sounded like that😂
Fun fact that's actually Zuck's real voice, its pitched down in every recording of him
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
it makes me imagine them as tiny like they've been shrunk
I fr was absolutely willing to believe he sounded like that too until I heard her chipmunk voice 😂
* screaming in immune compromised *
Nothing like going on year 5 of effectively being jailed in my house while Joe Rogan talks about conspiracy theorists as if he isn’t one and Zuck whines about how he can’t invent the world anew if he has to be held responsible for the platform he owns
The hydroxychloroquine bullshit Rogan helped promote last time resulted in a nationwide shortage of it for lupus patients. People in all my lupus support groups were missing their meds at a time when ending up hospitalized was much more dangerous.
Same for the call for community and queerness IRL but no one is taking covid seriously anymore.
@@flux.aeternaI get boosted each time it’s available, mask everywhere and often distance and my social life is very lowkey. I take it so seriously and I am so disturbed by those who do not! People think I’m crazy. I’m often the only one on set in a mask!
idk if i'm immunocompromised, but am disabled and also know what a single infection can do. i value what ability i do have, and accordingly live as though i'm certainly immunocompromised. a bit over a year ago i had to start wearing a respirator when leaving my room because a parent ignored their symptoms and infected me. i haven't gotten new sickness in the year since, while family have repeatedly given each other all kinds of illness and refuse to quarantine in their rooms. it's hard to bear the way most seem eager to neglect disabled people and the general wellbeing of all, but hearing from others who've shared my experience is encouraging. i hate to know others have also had to be effectively jailed in their house for over half a decade, but not being alone in it is a sort of comfort. it's easy to feel like everyone else is playing pretend about "going back to normal".
Screaming in immune compromised with you!!!
I still can't get over zuckerberg making a site ranking womens atractiveness when he looks like that
Last time I was this early to a Kat Blaque video she was warning us about the fascism that our late-stage capitalist society was keen to usher in.
Holocaust deniers are on the same wavelength as Americans who try and say that “slavery wasn’t that bad”. 🙄
Me and my partner are from russia. We were just talking today about how scary it is that the same shit that is happening here is happening in America (and a lot more honesty). I feel so fucking depressed the world has less and less space for queers, for poc, for peace and i can't even say anything against it publicly.
Power is in resistance. It's depressing, it's bleak, but you're not alone. None of us are. Stay safe and if you're willing and able, organize. Get together with people and push back. That's how we (the common people) win. Whether it's unionizing or activism or anything else. Just be as safe as you can be and remember you're not alone. Even if you can't fight at the moment, we will. You're not alone.
You're not alone, keep resisting in all the ways you can ❤
it's not that the world has less space for poc and queers -- it's authoritarian states. i don't correct you on this for the sake of being a rude english speaker on the internet, i just believe that there is a difference here. billionaires and authoritarians need to scapegoat minorities so the majority are focusing all their rage on those minorities instead of the billionaires and authoritarians who are plotting to steal away the majority's civil rights.
I am only 22 years old, and I am going to turn 23 this Wednesday, not that anyone should care but I just wanna say thank you for your many years of service to this app as a trans woman and especially as a beautiful, black trans woman. I used to come across your videos from since I was 13 and I use to be a very edgy teen but even then, when I would watch your videos and how well informed you were it made me want to do better and be better. Sending love and support from Belize.
Happy birthday 🎂
Happy birthday! I'm in a super similar boat, I turned 23 in December and have been watching Kat Blaque since I was about 14
Happy Birthday!! And you're so right. I'm also Belizean and I've been a mainstay on this channel since the pandemic.
Happy birthday! I hope our world can truly embrace the Age of Aquarius and lead with love and understanding!
Happy birthday!!!! Thank you for
his little rant on how the US gov should protect it's tech companies regardless of whether they're wrong or right really showed his hand more than anything I've heard so far, but I'm only 35 minutes in so... He's really concerned and fired up about how many fines tech companies has had to pay in other countries whilst the US government didn't protect them. Lol that's what this is really about.
That specific rant struck a nerve with me. The nerve to expect America to bully other countries to remove their hard discussed and earned regulations. The monopolistic tendencies of these corporations was already highly unethical, but now he crossed a line with this declarations. I think I really hate tech billionaires now.
its so funny for him to say "i wsnt involved in those conversations/those systems" and still be expected to be taken seriously 💀
also oh my god everything he says is literally just "i want to be told im a special good boy who made a super cool special awesome product" go to therapy
at around 21:50 I went "didnt trump literally receive one of the first vaccines too?"like omg this people
when you said the part about not surviving this administration i dont know whether you were speaking personally, professionally, or both, but my heart broke because i appreciate you and what you bring to the table so much and i hate that this is a very real concern
especially as a cis white man i find it so important to listen to people listen to people in communities more marginilized than just my gay existence, because their fights fo rights were precursors to mine and their losses signal more to come for others
As European a question I ask myself is: how is Facebooks atrocious algorithm going to keep complying with European laws on all of this?
I am actually cackling internally at the massive paycheck the EU is gonna get from the lawsuits, it should also serve as a reminder to Europeans, yes the union and it's Parliament may seem useless on day to day life, and some decisions are outright stupid but they still are some kind of authority to keep human ego in check.
I'm not a fan of the EU by any means, but I absolutely adore their actions regarding big tech, it's not only necessary, but also pretty funny to see.
They have different rules for the EU. The lack of fact checking is only in america (at least from what i saw)
@@MaryamMaqdisiwhy aren't you a fan of the EU?
Zuck is clearly signaling to the US govt to bully the EU into reversing their regulations by leveraging access to our economy. Those rules may not be in this world much longer. I hope they stand on business but.... my pessimism rarely fails me.
I don't want to be bleak but many European countries, including mine, are taking a very sharp turn to the far right... and the EU is basically USA's lapdog in most things... give it 10 years and we'll see here the kind of policies we see in the USA or in Russia :(
2 HOURS? God is really a woman
Thank you for sharing your powerful voice and your authentic self, and thank you for cultivating a community and a place for discussion
Thank you!!
this is positive representation for kakyoin pfps everywhere
Just wanted to pop in to say that as someone who is not the most media literate, not great at picking up what people are actually saying, not well educated, and honestly not articulate enough to explain things even when i do understand them, I found this video very helpful. Discouraging, but helpful.
My college is unfortunately in a state where they're getting rid of DEI. You can still take Women and Genders Study courses and classes like that, it's just that offices/resources can no longer be available specifically for these protected groups. So offices dedicated specifically for students of color had to be disbanded. I have a friend that works at the school and they had to frantically remove all words on their website such as "diversity" and "equity" along with other phrases or face losing funding from the state. The reasoning given for this by the politicians is that these resources are discriminatory and should be available to all students kinda like the whole "all lives matter" argument 🙄 it's wild! I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Also, hearing my professors feel sad about this shift but afraid to speak about it is extremely troubling. Thank you so much for speaking on this! Sending so much love ♥️ These are scary times we're living in.
This is so insane…What school do you go to? 😢 our school doubled down and sent us all an email Letting us know protections for lgbtq and poc will remain in place. I go to a public college. It’s scary to know this is happening. I’m worried it will eventually catch us too
the worst kind of irony to all in my personal experience is seeing this fear mongering, telling people i know about it and then being laughed and told *I'M* fearmongering or overthinking. i'm all too familiar with being gaslit, but genuinely these past several years has really made me feel like im going insane because its just not my family who does it, its now my friends, and people i trust and love or used to trust and love.
and to know there are many other people who has known this WAY longer than me, such as yourself, i cant imagine the pain and how isolating it must feel. everyone please, make sure you connect NOW, because in the future, these communities will be scrubbed out and we need to stick together now, more than ever.
genuinely i wish i could just delete the facebook app from my phone but its bloatware and preinstalled so the most i can do is have it disabled
If you have a computer and an android phone with developer options you can use the usb debugging and an android debloater app! It was the first thing I did when I got my new phone ^^.
You can delete pretty much everything! Quite fun and allows you to be free from the preinstalled apps.
And if you want *more* you can root your phone :D
I hope you find a good option for your situation. Stay happy and have a good day!
@@user-fn9mu3eo5x thank you! i'll try to find out how to do that, i just have some anxiety doing stuff like that with any tech, but i'll try!
obligatory "get a flip phone" comment
I buy from the manufacturer rather than the carrier. This helps with the bloatware because it's the carriers that make these deals to take up space on your phone.
@@パガイbut then how would I see my lil videos? I'm not often called. I'm mostly texted or messaged on discord. I wish there was a minimal smartphone but there isnt
1:36:50 so timely! i just had a student literally accuse me of indoctrination bc i am queer and i teach queer texts and it makes them uncomfortable. they weren't even a white american! i have been forced out of education jobs for being openly queer. thank you for continuing to speak on this bc as a queer, mixed race educator with a specialty in ethnic studies, it's terrifying rn😊
53:30 ????? Does he not understand the opioid crisis has been made worse by the overprescription of opioids? Medical providers aren't coming to Facebook to find people to prescribe to. What is he even talking about? It's like he's using buzzwords to come across as benevolent
Yes, it’s just nonsensical. I feel like he has a list of phrases he’s trying to hit and talking points. He’s trying to hit. It’s so nonsensical.
I've been physically dependent on opiates since I was 11. Opiates are less harmful than tobacco, alcohol and adhd meds. If you actually want to discuss the war on personal freedom, how the US Government decided death was a better fate than physical dependency. I can't walk or have a basic quality of life without opiates.
@@anniemcmillen940 No, ADHD meds are also pretty damn harmless and the stigma around them is harmful. Even massive overdoses are virtually never lethal, they dont cause physical dependence and unless your grinding them up and sniffing them, psycological dependence is exceedingly rare
@therideneverends1697 dude. You cannot tell me methamphetamines are harmless.
@@therideneverends1697 yeah this person is fully pulling the adhd med stuff out of their ass. like this is a pretty well studied thing that is well accepted outside of crackpots
i have been in love with the new hairstyle you’ve been rocking. it’s so cute! i think that every time with your recent videos, so i thought i should finally say the compliment.
(1) thing to be appreciative of in this burning world.
you don't know how much you heal me. i've been subbed for years and i feel like you're the only creator who 100% aligns with my way of thinking. i'm not from the united states but everything that's currently going on there (and has been for years) is quite literally a direct parallel of what's currently happening in my country. still can't believe how basic things that are of common sense, intellectually and emotionally, are seen as radical thinking. they want to keep us dumb, uneducated, loyal to them. and it is scary how more and more, being vocal about agreeing with fascism is becoming the norm...
One of the few things I'm proud of from my country is Margrethe Vestager a danish minister who has been on the forefront of fighting against platforms like Meta, to hold them accountable to their actions and the power that they hold over the greater part of the world... let's just hope there's an EU to keep the fight up in the future.
You have given so much to the country, this site, the online discourse for such a long time. Both your comrades and your haters have profited on you, as well as the platforms where you exist. What’s happening is such a betrayal. I’m not trying to fluff your feathers. It’s real, and I’m sorry.
Thank you for your work. You have never only worked for Black people or trans people or women. It has always been about all people for you.
I don’t know what else to say. Thank you. Seriously, take it in. It’s not just a RUclips comment. I really want you to hear it. Thank you, Kat Blaque.
The only thing I don’t like about this Kat, is that you’re making me listen to this podcast and I am not getting anything out of it 🤣

Can we not do the lizard people meme on a Jewish man? He is a horrible ghoul and all, but the fact is the lizard people thing is a conspiracy theory invented by a rabid antisemite, and people on the left should stop using it. Please stick to criticizing billionaires for their disgusting and unethical behaviour, no need to repeat horrible conspiracies. We're better than that
Just been binging watching your channel all day while getting my braids done…. so glad to see this!! ❤
Hahaha girl!!!!!! I’m so happy to help the process! What are you doing!?!? I’m debating braiding my hair rn.

27:26 it's wild to me that it makes sense to some people that some tech like smartphones can evolve rapidly to what we have today, but tech evolving in medicine, like the covid vaccine, is just questionable cuz it evolved "too quikly."
Yes especially with health concerns running the gamut with technology. They're just happy to control whatever they can and medical control is a new buzz to a money addict
The antivax nonsense has really poisoned the well. I know people that won't even get a flu shot anymore.

It’s just kind of funny that he clearly is mad that the government interfered with his company, and when he says “the government should be protecting its companies”… no, the government should be protecting its people from you and your companies.
Like it’s funny that the base, the audience, the voters are so sure they’re fighting for the little guy, they’re for the every man, they’re for the downtrodden, while bolstering people that explicitly say they’re fighting for the protections of the people and companies that exploit and endanger you.
I liked it before even listing. after listening I wish I could like it again. The narrative of breaking EU-law and getting fined is like a tarrif, or you could just adhere to local laws if you are a global company. I never heard Zuckerberg narrating so much. But he is also the type who says We work and means you work.
I think I mentioned it before, your note on how people outside of america are (generally) reacting to things happening there is correct. However what many people don't understand is the second part where rightwing (and sometimes outright fascist) politicians are becoming more popular than ever. I was not surprised by the election results because of how voting had gone in my own country, where two obviously fascist parties had a deal with another more popular rightwing party so they could form a majority in parliament. People in my country laugh at america, talk about the foolishness of americans for voting in Trump, when we are responsible for fascist politicians coming into power and creating bills that are disastrous for Māori rights (indigenous people here) and other terrible schemes like defunding services for disabled people (under the guise of paying back debts and "improving lives for the average kiwi family" it's a load of bs. And there are people going "well you can't focus on the environment when you can't pay the bills" when the thing is: yes and you who can't pay bills are the one who is going to the most affected by environmental disasters caused by climate change from politicians and policy makers who don't care about you or your family. - just have to rant a bit because people always want to talk about bigotry in america but never bigotry at home

The scary thing for me is that facebook is the primary way most queer people I know find housing. It's where I found my current living situation. Having an old account that's connected to irl contacts is immensely helpful in housing groups because people can comment on my posts and vouch for me. If it wasn't for the prospect of being evicted with no way to find safe housing, I would have left the platform years ago

I have been watching your channel for a long time, about 10 years. Your thoughts and ideas have been critical for my understanding of society and the world. I was about 14 when I started watching your content, and now with a sociology degree I have found myself constantly advocating and educating. I certainly don’t have the reach or influence you do, but I like to think maybe I can influence others the way you pivotally influenced me. Thank you!
lol "A replacement for an address book" yeah, that's pretty much what I use Facebook for; just to keep up with folks I went to high school with etc. Also, the Birthday reminders are helpful lol
There needs to be a separation of tech/social media and state, just like the separation of church and state. We might have been too slow to enforce this now.
I can't agree more about education. While my folks had to keep me in public school they encouraged me to be curious. If I wanted to know something they took me to the library or found resources. Reading was paramount in our house. I can't thank them enough for always pushing me to learn.
He has also actively gentrified Hawaii.
I joined the platform because sadly myspace got defunct so all my friends joined the book. Also some family.
Just a reminder, people are still dying of COVID everyday and the damage done by COVID is accumulative, so even if you were fine the first couple times, doesnt mean you wont develop long covid or other complications later.
Watching this video while taking out my braids and detangling my natural hair. Thanks for the content!
Great advice in the end. You're right. Community is needed. I'm going to make an effort to not isolate.

The whole Obamacare thing is crazy because my dad is diabetic and needs insulin to stay alive. He voted for Trump.
The "Billionaire brain" needs to be psychologically and scientifically studied. I need to see brain scans and test results because I have a theory that their brain lights up when they see money but it doesn't when they see people. I truly believe that once you become a billionaire or even multimillionaire you stop pursuing community, you stop see people as humans with souls and you probably don't care about anything at all. Like nothing gives you meaning anymore except hoarding more money. I really need this studied.
I’m super thankful for the 2-hour runtime. I just know that took some work.
Thank you, lol. I’m not sure if it’ll be a regular thing but I am glad that you appreciated lol.

"AI apps nobody asked for" OMG. When my gran died, my mother memorialized her page. And within months, AI ads were serving mom these horrible AI generated images of gran looking over the earth, the family, incredibly traumatic and disruptive BS that nobody asked for. But they own everything posted soooo....
The "I'd fix it but then I can't work on all the other things" [that no one wants] is crazy. Imagine if someone was like "listen I know the website doesn't work but I want to make a bunch of addons for the website before I make it work."
Or "listen I know the foundation is slipping off the mountain but I can't focus on that right now or I can't work on putting down new flooring and cabinets"
Hey Kat, I am a recent subscriber, your material is amazing and has helped me process a lot of things that happened in my life - so thank you. You're a beautiful soul, both inside and outside 💜
We've been trying to tell Americans that the American dream to achieve freedom through working, literally used to be painted on the gates to the camps. Arbeit macht frei. It's been so obvious for so long where it was headed, but I'm still genuinely sorry and sad for everyone living through it.
He’s so confused that a corporation would be a bad actor… that’s the problem. The more money you have the higher your morality, welcome to the church of capitalism.
Everyone reading this, you need to watch Innuendo Studio's recent Alt Right Pipeline video titled Crossing the Rubicon. It just came out today and all of you moderate centrist MUST go watch it. Its short but extremely important and impactful.
America is a frog slowly coming up to a boil so slowly that many do not recognize the danger.
You right now, you need to pick event and draw a line in the sand where you will recognize fascism had officially arrived. Because if you dont pick a line, the line moved a step further away with every step you take toward it. Dont let yourself only realize when its too late.

I really think the us should adapt a german-style understanding of freedom: your personal freedom ends where it starts harming others
Maybe let's not get our morality from Germans. Americans have our own way of doing things and it's very muddled all the time because Americans value being genuine as a way for showing up for community, but we aren't a monolith. There are always people who don't value that. Germans are smart wonderful people but they're also mean and self-centered. Maybe let's just keep in mind that no matter how smart we are we can still get fooled by fascists
Oh no, the longer Kat watches Zuckerberg the more she turns into a cartoon
Zuckerberg referencing 1984 is so unbelievably fucking brazen of him, after what he did with the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Did he read the book? Did he even skim it? If he did he must have found Big Brother to be a huge inspiration.
2:29 I’m putting introspective hot person on my resume.
I’m confused because to me it seemed like there was never enough censorship on facebook ever.. especially in the non english speaking parts of the app
In my 20s I had the energy to care about a lot of these issues and I got burned out. So thank you for bearing this weight, caring and educating about these critical issues. I know how hard it is, and you make it look easy!
We had Trump before. His name was Andrew Jackson. Time has been a flat circle, but it doesn't need to be that way in the future.
I’m pretty sure Trump said Andrew Jackson was his favorite president to absolutely no one’s shock.
10:23 wasn't youtube made to show Janet Jackson's superbowl malfunction?
Google images was literally made to show Jennifer López using a very provocative dress in the Grammys, so yeah, Kat is not exaggerating about what she said (as usual, she just spits straight up facts).
Omg thank you for the mention of the first jpg scan... Such an important thing to remember.
Every day I'm thankful I deleted social media, especially Facebook! Almost 3 years deleted, don't miss it!
23:55 "Curbing the rampant spreading of misinformation on the platform I own is too hard, why won't you let me spend my time on random useless bullshit instead ☹️". That's basically what he's saying, this is fucking wild lmaooo
100% agree w/ your view of mark. He seriously made that website that turned into FB for a bunch of those types. YES, most definitely has always wanted to fit in w/ that crowd & those types.
I’m only around 35 mins in at the moment, but hearing Zuckerberg talk about removing policies around hate speech without Rogan pushing back about Myanmar and the genocide of Rohingya people is driving me insane. Facebook was a considerable driving force behind that violence. I don’t necessarily expect Rogan to be the one providing that pushback - but the fact that this is one of the few places Zuckerberg would have this long form conversation is telling.
it's especially infuriating b/c that was right around 2017, exactly when he's claiming facebook was going extra hard on content moderation
(as a disclaimer, i haven't finished the vid yet either but i seriously doubt zuckerberg or rogan ever addressed this in the podcast)
I really value your perspective. Great video. Thanks for the closing message... I've been meaning to get out and dance and your encouragement to do so is helpful
This part at 38:09 I feel like he's talking about Brazil not liking this new policy of "we won't fact check" because our supreme court didn't just say "we will ban you", the supreme court told him to explain himself, why is Meta not going to do fact checking anymore, that's it, and I feel like he's REALLY bitter because we really don't care if Meta is banned in our country, just like Twitter got banned and we just moved to Bluesky
"There's no way I'm watching this without getting paid" What a coincidence! There's no way I'd watch this without Kat Blaque to bring some sense into it 😂❤️
I don’t know if anyone else has seen it, but Leeja Miller posted a video yesterday about how the US constitution has been taken down off the government website. Seems unconstitutional to me, a Brit
Recently I visited a trans subreddit and it absolutely broke my heart how afraid people are. I don't live in America but being in Canada, its only a matter of time before we're infected even more than we already have. I'd like to think i'm generally pretty strong willed so if im feeling it, lord I can only imagine what people over there are going through.
so, i did the numbers, and... at 26:02 rogan states that the number of videos uploaded every hour is crazy, but it averages out to about 3,000 videos per hour. which is, to be fair, a whole lot! but not so much that you couldn't easily hire 3,000 people to moderate 1 video per hour.
even with round the clock employment, that's still less than 10,000 people. google has around 180,000 employees.
Every day I wish we could've traded Mark Zuckerberg for Aaron Swartz
