LET'S JUDGE ONISION! (Sarah, Ayalla Renan, Laineybot, Billie…)

11 January 2019 [YT link]

I JUST NOTE, my new/original commentary is in the 2nd half of this video… a small number of you will have already seen every source quoted and juxtaposed in the first half. ;-) Sources cited: (1) guy with the striking blonde hairstyle = Repzilla (not to be confused with Repzion).

(3) Laineybot (a.k.a. Lainey, a.k.a. Kai) has her own channel, where she has both attempted to "answer" current allegations about Sarah, and answered innuendo surrounding Billie in the past.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAF0RSs6-MqQuXrC9eXs69A/videos

(3.1) Of course, much of this also indirectly alludes to or quotes Billie Dawn Webb. Her youtube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHd3pZkbDfqfIL5lSUUreHA/videos

(3.2) Onision continues to do "damage control" (and to present his own perspective on all of these relationships) on what is now his primary channel, OnisionSpeaks. Title: _"Laineybot, Sarah & Onision: Objective Facts."+ Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbhPgy9WtdE

Is ASOIAF basically fascist or anti-fascist? (Game of Thrones)

08 January 2019 [YT link]

Somebody sent in a question about the (shifting) symbolic significance of Targaryen rule and Valyrian "superiority" in the political interpretation of ASOIAF: it's a good question, but, frankly, I think I've got a good answer for it, too. ;-)

A.S.O.I.A.F. = "A Song of Ice and Fire", i.e., the books of George R.R. Martin (G.R.R.M.), also known under the title "Game of Thrones", used by the T.V. adaptation to refer to the series as a whole.

Biopsychiatry vs Critical Psychiatry: the Implications.

06 January 2019 [YT link]

Practical and philosophical implications of living in a "Post-Biopsychiatry" world (including a debate as to how we should conceptualize depression, NPD, and other diagnoses, after the debunking of SSRI marketing hype as pseudoscience).

Quote, "[Thomas] Szasz was a strong critic of institutional psychiatry and his publications were very widely read. He argued that so-called mental illnesses had no underlying physiological basis, but were unwanted and unpleasant behaviors. Mental illness, he said was only a metaphor that described problems that people faced in their daily lives, labeled as if they were medical diseases." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Szasz

"Ask Yourself" is the name of a youtube channel; its protagonist is Isaac. This video relates to conversations I had directly with Isaac, in a public forum (Discord) that transpired with an audience (i.e., my opinion of his racist attitudes/tenets/beliefs is an opinion based on having extensive conversations with him, directly: they do not rely on interpretation or innuendo). EVERY SINGLE POINT made in this video I have made to Isaac (directly) in verbal conversations (AND MORE). Unless he is an amnesiac, he should be able to remember every single point made here, even the minor details about ethnic minorities in Northern Laos (really… we talked about this stuff AT LENGTH, in several conversations).

Zero Irony: Patreon is Wonderful. The Right Wing is Wrong.

03 January 2019 [YT link]

Patreon is like a grocery store for political ideas: and it's really (really!) wonderful compared to the options we had before (both as creative artists, and in trying to advocate for social/political change). The controversy over the exclusion of Sargon of Akkad, followed by the resignation of Jordan B. Peterson and Sam Harris (not to mention Milo Yiannopoulos) is the context for this video. However, truth be told, Patreon was a massively controversial thing within the vegan movement circa two years ago (many questions about its influence were raised at that time) and it then slowly ceased to be controversial.

Alexander vs. Aristotle, Dictatorship vs. Democracy.

15 December 2018 [YT link]

A chapter of political philosophy and history that partly presents Aristotle as a servant to Alexander the Great, and partly presents him as an incongruous critic (who alternates between extremely harsh criticism of monarchy/tyranny/dictatorship, and equally harsh criticism of democracy —at least in its Athenian form). Note that this is neither the first nor the last video I've made on the politics of Aristotle: I am aware that this does not cover the whole of the topic (indeed, we'd need a sequel to describe exactly what Aristotle's stated position on "polity" (and "moderate democracy") really is, in contrast to his condemnation of the so-called "extreme democracy" of Athens).

Bad Advice: Confidence, Dating & Romance. (vs. Based Zeus)

12 December 2018 [YT link]

Is it really confidence that makes the difference? IMHO, no, it isn't. If you're super confident selling the wrong product to the wrong person, what's the value of the sale? If you're the wrong guy for her (or if she's the wrong girl for you)… a whole lot of confidence isn't going to help in making a connection with someone who fundamentally doesn't want you, and isn't interested in what you've got to offer (regardless of the gender initiating the flirtation).

#ReplaceChristmas #Socmas

Atheism is creative, not destructive; we're losing, here's why.

07 December 2018 [YT link]

In the last 20 years, atheism has not had the (modestly) transformative effect on the world that gay rights (or even gay marriage) has had —it's been a failure even compared to veganism or communism. Why? Let's throw the underlying problems into a sharp contrast with a specific example: the creative challenge of destroying Christmas (no, I'm not joking, and I'm not a troll: I'm the sincere, secular parent of a 5 year old… and replacing Christmas is a real challenge).

When a Holocaust Museum Whitewashes a Nazi.

02 December 2018 [YT link]

It would take courage to tell the truth about Henry Ford in Detroit; but it is, by the same token, real cowardice to lie. Detroit? Okay, technically, this is in Farmington Hills, Michigan, but it's a suburb of Detroit.

If you'd like to know more, here's a relatively brief article that clarifies the timeline of just how long Henry Ford continued to support the German side (covertly and overtly) as the war began to unfold. Link: https://www.thenation.com/article/ford-and-fuhrer/

For an article giving you more information about the earlier history of how Henry Ford first formed and expressed his extreme views, and his publishing "campaign" in the 1920s, see: https://history.hanover.edu/hhr/99/hhr99_2.html

CORRECTIONS. (1) A viewer wrote in to insist that Hitler and Ford never met face-to-face, and, googling around, this seems to be true (Ford refused to travel to Germany in 1938, and received the award "from Hitler" only in an abstract sense, in the U.S.A.). (2) Although it is confirmed that Hitler kept portraits of Henry Ford, it has *not* been confirmed that Ford had portraits of Hitler: it is possible that this is "a false symmetry" that has crept into the telling of history.

To be clear as to which holocaust museum we're talking about, this is a critique and review of the curatorial and political content of:

Holocaust Memorial Center

Zekelman Family Campus
